' The dead :
JOHN SWEENEY, grocer. '
MRS. JOHN SWEENEY, his wife.
ELLA SWEENEY, 9-year-old daughter.
BABY .DAUGHTER OF B. S. DISSEMEYER, 1 year old.
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

The 26-year-old son of Sweeney was

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.

burned about the hands, face and shoul

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.

Second Unitarian church here, is today
making arrangements to go on the lec

the church is preparing to sell the prop
erty and disband.
Smoot preached his last sermon ves
terday and' his scathing arraignment of
present aay tneoiogy is tne taia or tne
city today. He said the church of today
Is far behind the times and Is daily be
coming more insignificant In the life
of nations. It was Smoot's doctrines
that led to his rupture with his congre
gation. "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.
The church has always followed in the
wake of economic and scientific discov
ery, and has never, . to any- great ex
tent, led In moral or economto reform."

even If Taggart is relected, Bryan

This phase of the situation has de

that Taggart desires to succeed him
