Among the badly injured are Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Dissemeyer and rred bweeney. . San Francisco, June 29. There is little doubt that the explosion at Chenery and Dimond streets, which killed four people and prob ably fatally injured another early today, was the work of dynamit ers awho twice blew up property belonging to James L. Gallagher, the former supervisor, who turned state's evidence in the graft prosecution. The property blown up today was leased by Antone Dissemeyer to 1 . J. Gallagher, brother of the former supervisor and S. I John son, who conducts the saloon; The property adjoining the wreck age on the other side is owned by the United Railways company. T, J. Gallagher has bteen acting as a bodyguard for his brother since the repeated threats have been made against his life. In the Ruef-Schmitz administration T. J. Gallagher was the head -of the commissary department, a lucrative position, and the feeling has been bitter -against him for Jiis stand v$Ch his brother in the' prose cutions, it is understood that 1. J. uallagher also has received threats recently. , .v John Sweeney, the grocer who conducted the grocery store ad joining the saloon conducted by Johnson, and was killed with his wife and daughter, appears to have ; been the victim of a plot of which he was not the object. Dissemeyer, who lived In the building, whoso baby daughter was killed and wife Is perhaps fatally hurt, also hat no connection with the Gallaghers fur ther than that he leased the property to T. J. Gallagher. ! T'he body of ohn Sweeney waa blown to feet througrh a window at the rear of the grocery.. Slows Throngs Window. v The 26-year-old son of Sweeney was blown through a window and 69 feet Into the yard at the rear, He was severely Injured. The . fronts of both A grocery building and tne saloon were f blown clear across the street. , w PIm ntilrilrlv fstllnwjtrl t hi. Avrilnalnn and the wrecks were practically con sumed before the department got the flames under control. The crowd attracted; by the explosion f-ot all the Injured and dead out except he Dissemeyer baby. When It.; was ' missed a hurried search resulted In Its being recovered, but It had been burned o badly that It died. The police who investigated the case made a report that the explosion was caused . by gas, but this was disposed of by the statement of Dissemeyer that there was no gas conneotion In either case. The Tiolloe then said the explo sion wan caused by gasoline and kero sene stored In the grocery. They say there la no trace or dynamiting, others. ' however, believe that the terrtf io de struction could have been caused only by dynamite. - B. S. Dissemeyer, who was able to leave the hospital ' after having his In luries dressed, said: - "X have no enemy of any kind In, the world, so rar as i Know, ana can as sign no possible reason for the attack on my life and. property. . Awakened by Shook. "I was awakened by the terrific ; shock, i which tore away the front part of the building. At first I ran , out "into the street, hut when I did not find my wife there. I turned back and. running Into the wreckage. I found my wife lying on the kitchen floor, where she had swooned. I carried her to the street. . "In making my way, I ' was badly burned about the hands, face and shoul ders and wonder that I was not more - seriously Injured.- as I had on, nothing but my night clothes. "John Sweeney must -have died In stantly. Sweeney's wife and daughter, no gas that "CANNED SERMONS" . WHILE THE PASTOR GOES ON VACATION ' (United Prow Leawd Wirt.) 4 - Chicago, June 29.! Rev.

He promises to ; give his . 4 4 congregation .

( 1 ' 4 ' . J J ! Ella, also must have been killed by the first shock." Dissemeyer said there was connection in either building and the explosion could not have been caused by gas. He Is firm in his be lief that It was the work of dyna miters. , District Attorney Langdon today re quested Chief of Police Blggy to put the whole detective force at work on the latest dynamiting outrage, believed to have grown out of the graft prose cution. This order was obeyed. Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney said: This ia the most dastardly outrage yet perpetrated by the agents of graft." Dynamite Expert at Work. Chief Blggy this afternoon detailed Frank McManus, a dynamite expert, to wora on the case, and four detectives are gathering all the Information ob tainable that may lead to the discovery of the dynamiters. . Everyone who was In the neighbor hood of the property at the t line of the explosion la being examined and a watcn is Doing Kept on tne n ace. McManus would not say viut opin ion he had. formed, when asked this af ternoon, but win make Ms report to Chief Blggy tonight. ' Chief Blggy said: "I will ferret this thing out and find who s responsible for tEls outrage, if It Is within the realm ot-Jiuman possi bility. I will put as many men as are neeaeo on tne case.- . ' Vigilantes Threatened. The entire -city Is shocked ; hy the dynamiting outrage and It Is th con sensus of opinion that the same people that blew up Gallagher's house in Oak land last April and later blew up two vacant houses belonging to him In the same city, are responsible for today's explosion. There is talk of a vigilance commit tee, and the police would doubtless have difficulty If the guilty should be caught The fiendish ingenuity that guide the dynamiters has completely baffled the police. In every case the explosion has taken place at night and absolute ly no trace of the criminals has been left behind. That the men are experts In their work-is a foregone conclusion, for none of the three jobs has been bungled. CAPITAL STATE BANK NOW, BANK OF IDAHO Boise, " Ida., June 29.

"There-is little room in the church for original thinking, said Rev. Smoot in his sermon. "No matter how much they may disclaim it, the different denomina tions are founded upon certain seta of religious doctrines. In the nature of the case, absolute liberality is a figment of the imagination. The churches are doing some good but they are filling a diminishing- Dlace in the life of communities.
