REVENGE MOTIVE ASSIGNED
Attempt on Life of Los Angeles Man
Attributed to Part Played in
Prosecution of Dynamiters.
1OS ANGELES. Aug. 3. Revenge for
the part he played in the prosecution
of a group of dynamiters in the middle
west several years ago wae assigned
by the police here as the probable mo
tive for an attempt on the life of Oz' r
Lawler, former assistant attorney-general
of the United States. Sir. Lawler's
home was practically destroyed by a
bomb and subset, ..ent fire here early
today, and he and Mrs. Lawler both
were serioaiely burned and otherwise
injured.
Mr. Lawler and his wife escaped with
difficulty from their blazing home
when he carried the fainting woman to
a front second-story window, dropped
her on an awning and thence to the
ground and leaped after her.
Before making their escape the
Lawlers had attempted to rescue their
5-year-old son Oscar and his nurse,
who were on another sleeping porch,
but had been prevented by the flames.
The boy and his nurse were later saved
by neighbors.
Mrs. Lawler Will Recover.
Mr. Lawler received burns covej-ing
half his body and his physicians said
his recovery was possible, but whether
he would live could not be determined
before tomorrow.
Mrs. Lawler will recover, although
severely burned and suffering from a
broken collarbone, according to her
physicians.
Tonight M. P. Snyder, mayor of Los
Angeles, with his chief of police.
George Home, were in conference with
representatives of the county and state
government and with federal authori
ties, laying plans for a thorough and
systematic effort to apprehend the per
petrators of the explosion and fire.
1 "While they planned to guard every ave
nue against the escape of those guilty,
' every available detective and investi
gator from all the branches of the gov
ernment here worked zealously to bind
together every thread of evidence that
might either apprehend the bomb
placers or aid in their conviction.
Flimfi Knvelope Mouse.
Three explosions, believed to be those
of a bomb and two 5-gallon cans of
gasoline or some other inflammable
liquid, were heard by those nearby, and
in an instant, according to eye-witnesses,
a column of flame shot above
the roof of the Lawler home. The build
ing was almost destroyed and its con
tents were either entirely destroyed or
made worthless.
The Lawler home was a brick and
frame structure of 12 or more rooms,
facing west toward the ocean and
standing at 626 New Hampshire street.
The lot adjoins Wilshire boulevard, one
of the main arteries of travel through
a section occupied entirely by hand
some and spacious homes.
Flames Cut Off lixeape.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawler were sleeping
on a porch in the south side of the
house, opening from a second-floor
room, and were screened from the
street by an angle f the building. The
nurse. Miss Bessie J.. ills, and little
Oscar Lawler Jr. called "Patsy" by
his family were sleeping on a screened
porch at the rear or east end of the
house.
When the explosion came a sheet of
flame at once rushed up the side of the
house, directly below the porch, occu
pied by the Lawlers, and cut off possi
ble escape toward the outside. Mr.
Lawler and his wife went into the
house and tried to make their way to
the rear porch, where their -sou was
with his nurse. They were cut off by
smoke and flame, and when Mrs. Law
ler realized this she fainted. Mr. Law
ler took her. in his arms, carried her
through flames to the front of the
house and dropped her to an awning
over the front veranda, whence she
rolled to the ground. He then leaped
after her.
nw and Child Rescued.
Meanwhile "William H. Lacey, an iron
master. v.ho lives nearby, had been
aroused by the explosion and the
flames, and had rushed from his home,
clad in his nightwear, to the rescue.
He heard the nurse and Patsy scream
ing in their sleeping porch, and. run
ning to the rear of the house, saw
Nurse Mills frantically trying to tear
down the wire netting surrounding the
porch with her bare hands, to make a
way of egress.
Mr. Lacey, joined by E. Pilford. who
was driving by and was halted by the
fire, found a ladder, and, placing it
against the building, they tore a way
through the netting to the imprisoned
child and nurse and carried them to
safety. The flames did not destroy the
porch where they had' been, but smoke
and heat had almost overcome them,
and both were hysterical.

"Collision
Warning Sounded, and
Crews Rush to Emergency
Posts; no Damage Done.
ON BOARD U. S. S. NEW MEXICO,
Saturday, Aug. 2. (By Wireless to thej
Associated Press.) Six dreadnoughts
of the Pacific fleet were shaken se
verely by a double earthquake shock
at 4:18 o'clock today -SOmiles off.'the
coast of the state of Colima, Mexico.
None of the warships reported any
damage'. .
The Kmt Mexico .trembled from- bow
to stern as if she had struck an un
charted reef, and the navigating of
ficer sounded "collision, quarters" on
the flagship's siren. . Sailors in the
foretop said the basket masts of the
warship swayed like poplar trees in a
gale.
Officers on the quarter deck hurried
to their posts and the crew and marines
took their places. .Meanwhile all water
tight com'partments on the Jfew Mexico
were closed and inspection parties
were sent into the holds to see if there
had been any damage to the hull. Ad
miral Hugh Rodman, commanding the
fleet, quickly recognized the cause of
the disturbance.
"It's an earthquake, he said. "We
are right off the coast of Colima, where
there are many earthquakes."
Then he ordered: "Signal all ships
in the fleet and see if'they felt any
excessive vibration." - -
Wireless telephone messages were re
ceived soon from the five- other dread
noughts reporting thy felt the shocks.
The Mississippi, which was further off-J
Bhore, reported heavy vibrations.
When the first tremor of the ship
was felt those below hurried on deck.
The faces of some vof the recruits
showed alarm while the flagship rolled
and pitched in the heavy swells that
followed the shocks.
Admiral Rodman kept the crew at
quarters for lo minutes and men or
dered the "secure signal" to bs
sounded.
One of the officers reported that he
believed the earthquake came from
l old crater in the Sierra mountains
hich fringe the coast line near here.

VIENNA, Aug. 3. (Special Cable.)
Many of Bela Kun's bolshevist hench
men, who have, without scruple, terror
ized others while they held sway, now
fear for their lives and are flocking to
the entente officers in Budapest to ask
protection for themselves, their wives
and their children. They have been told
that the women and children certainly
will be protected.
That city is still quiet, but the mem
bers of .the old government and their
sympathizers are desperately in fear of
"the white terror." This is especially
feared because the army is in complete
dissolution everywhere and, being
without discipline, its members may
commit any excess. There are no en
tente troops in Budapst and none nearer
to that city than the Czech troops who
are at Komoron, between Vienna and
Budapest.
Sew Huueariaa Cabinet Named. '
The new government is thus made
up:
President of the ministry Peiel.
Minister of foreign affairs Agesto,
who was formerly minister of juscico
and who had been the principal In tha
negotiations that brought about Bela
Kun's fall.
Minister of war Haubrich.
Minister of internal affairs Peyer.

Minister of finance Miskies.
Minister of education Szabo.
Minister of agriculture Takaos.
Minister of the people's welfare
Garbai. who is a moderate socialist and
has always been ready to go over to a

The plan is to have this provisional
cabinet hold until one can be formed
which will represent all the elements
in the nation, and this will arrange
for an election. to be, held so that the

Manufacture of Bad Silver Dollars
and Tens Also Charged; Many
Passed in Portland.
Joseph K. Riley, aged 30. nationally
known counterfeiter, and his wife, Dor
othy Riley, aged 20. were arrested yes
terday at the Genevieve apartments.
414 Fifth .street, and are held without
bail at the county jail facing a charge
of counterfeiting.
The arresting officers say a, part of
counterfeiting layout was found in
the apartment, and this, together with
other evidence which has not been dis
closed, leads them to believe that they
have under arrest the counterfeiters
who have been "shoving" spurious sil
ver dollars and 1 10 gold pieces on local
merchants for the last three weeks.
The arrest was made underthe per
sonal direction of William A. Glover,
chief secret-service operative In the
Portland district.- He was assisted
by Joseph Walters, secret-service op
erative, and Police Inspector Tom
Swennes. These officers have been on
the trail of the Rileys for the last two
weeks, but it was not until early yes
terday that they had procured sufficient
evidence to make the arrest.
Lous; Term Juat Ended.
Riley, whose record Is known to
secret -service operatives throughout
the country, recently completed a long
term at McNeil's island for a similar
offense. His operations in Portland
are said by Mr. Glover to be similar
to those he pursued in other parts of
the country.
The authorities were unable to say
yesterday just how many counterfeit
silver dollars Riley is said to have man
ufactured and passed in Portland, al
though approximately 50 have already
been reported taken up by Portland
banks during the past two weeks. In
addition to the silver dollars, Riley is
alleged to have made also a large num
ber of "queer" J10 gold pieces and
number of these also have been located
h Portland.
Just how much of a counterfeiting
plant was found in Riley's apartment
was not disclosed, although Mr. Glover
said they had located sufficient evi
dence or counterfeiting operations as
to leave no doubt as to the activities of
the pair.
Plant Partly Destroyed.
That Riley had reason to believe he
was under suspicion or that he in
tended leaving Portland for some other
city was evidenced from the fact that
his", counterfeiting material was partly
destroyed, said Mr. Glover. He com
mented on the fact that all profes
slonal counterfeiters manufacture i
certain amount of spurious coin in one
locality and then destroy all trace of
their plant Just prior to moving on to
some other section.
In addition- to his known record as
a counterfeiter, the authorities assert
Riley also is a deserter from the army
having deserted last year during the
draft operations. He is said to have
used Joseph .Williams as an alias.
Counterfeit Coins In Wake.
- The woman with bim is said to have
used the aliases of Dorothy Pidd and

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 3. (Special Cable.)
Some of the most populous through-
fares of this port are today in a state;
of complete wreckage. Ever since the
first night of the police strlka mob
ess there. Crowds of hooligans com
posed of men, women and children have
cone about wrecking and looting: shops.
So serious has St become that more
than 2000 troops have been drafted into
the city, four tanks have been allotted
to stations and the admiralty is dis
patching a cruiser and two destroyers
to the port.
Jewelers and pawnbrokers shops
were picked out for attention by the
looters last night. One jeweler's shop
was emptied of an extensive stock.
Sacks were filled' with jewelry, and
when no more could be carried the
looter threw the rest of the stock to
a mob waiting- outside.
At the docks along; the Mersey the
mob forced an entry, into sheds which
contained large, quantities of proods.
On the American ship Borinquin they
rippetf open valuable cases of leather
and scattered the pieces in al! direc
tions. They also destroyed bip: quan
tities of candy and tore to pieces boxes
of bacon, hams and lard. Sacks of sugar
and rice similarly were stolen. Bags
of rice were forced open and the con
tents thrown about, while large quan
tities of canned food were thrown in all
directions.
Tonight two breweries were besieged
by the crowd and soldiers fired a vol
ley over the people's heads. One man
was injured.
