The confession of John Claudlanes lears a mystery that has baffled the police of the bas cities for over two months. The dynamiter was able to substantiate his etwry bv going over the frround with Lanffflon, and It is believed ie is telling th truth. Ills brother, Peter, who lie sa rs, planned the crime and made the deU with the person or persons who dest'ted uie attain ui w lagher, may be alfe to Implicate others In the crime if ho can be found. The man under arrest refuses now xo Driven from their home' by a fire which destroyed their house and yesterday morning, the family of D. L. Day of Kern Park Is camping be built. If it hadn't been that T. I. Day of Kern Park had put up his new home In a hurry this summer, he, his wife and their 6-year-old boy might have been burned to death In the fire that destroyed Mr. Day's house, a drug store, a grocery store and a real estate office in the little suburb early yesterday morning. The fire had spread from the rear of the drug store to the roof of his-house when Mr. Day was awakened. He saw that if he was to save his family and any of his furniture he would have to act quickly. So he and his wife put their shoulders to the wall of the oot tage and actually tore H down In order to save their belongings. They were able to do this because the cottage had two other buildings at 2:30 o'clock on the ruins until a new home can been built hurriedly and merely for summer occupancy. Although almost everything they had was destroyed In the fire the Days hav en't lost courage. They are camping on the ruins of their home now and have telegraphed to California an offer Ing Park with the idea of putting up for the lot adjoining house before winter. their's In Kern a new SUHBSEE Democratic Convention Rat ifying People's Local Option Choice. (United Ptbrs Leased Wire.) Nashville, Tenn., July -14. That rad icalism Is dead In Tennessee and that local option will not be succeeded by drastic state-wide prohibition legisla tion, is the assertion of the constitu ents of Governor M.. R. Patterson, who is assured of the Democratic nomina tion for reelection. The nomination on tlJe Democratic ticket In Tennessee is equivalent to election. Governor Pat- .terson was practically renominated and elected at me state primaries neia several months ago. Today the state Democratic convention is in session go ing through the formality of ratifying the choice of the people. The gubernatorial campaign was par ticularly bitter this year on account of the liquor question. Governor Patter son advocated local regulation, while his opponent stood for absolute prohibition. admit even that fte did the dynamiting. apparently regretting his conieesion. Letter oavu the Plot Away. The confession was dramatic. A let ter written by John Claudlanes ad dressed to h)s brother Peter at Chicov Cal.. threatening to expose the plot, was responsible for f.he arrest of the con fessed dynamites; The letter says that unless monev is forwarded the plot will be given away. Although the letter was unsigned it vras Indorsed on the en velope "Return tc J. Claudlanes, 16 By ington avenue." This was how Claud lanes was located! by the detectives, who had come into possession of the letter. District Attorney Langdon questioned Claudlanes closeljv snd at first the man refused to "Ive any information. He was finallv forced into a corner and ad mitted that he hbnself did the dynamiting- - , m M Langdon was iweptlcal. snd Claud lanes offered to tilhe him over to Oak land and go over the whole scene of the crime with htm. Carefully guard ed, the man was taken to Oakland and whisked a war In an automobile to the home of Gallagher, where the ex-supervisor, his wife and six others so narrow ly escaped death Ap til 22. Mads ThXMf Attempts. Claudlanes told TLngdon that he had watched the house for three weeks, gaining kii'Wwledge of Its sur roundings bv posinig,as a photo peddler He got 120 a week: sand 10 a day for watching the housn . he said, and made three attempts to l)13w it up before he actually succeeded. They got the dynamite from Arizona, he said, and carrlcud it to Oakland In a valise as baggagt. "I used four f'et of fuse," said Claudlanes, "and h id eight minutes In which to get away ufter I put the dyna mite on the porch. An auto was wait ing for me and I was in another part of the city when! the explosion oc curred. Meant to Make Clean Sweep. Claudlanes took tgie district attorney and his detectives over the whole ground and pointed tto the caches where he had hidden the dynamite before the explosion. "I used 32 poui ids of dynamite in this Job," the Greek said. "It was right here that I placed It." And he pointed to the wrecked Vestibule of the Gal lagher home. After Claudlanes had explained the details of the first Gallagher dyna miting he went with Langdon and the detectives to the scene of the second explosion at Perkins and Belmont streets, where three empty houses be longing to the ex-supervisor were blown UD. "I used 82 pounds of dynamite here.' he explained to Langdon. He said that when he had failed to kill Gallagher he decided to wreck all of the Gallagher property. Wont Tell Who Paid for It. Claudlanes refused stubbornly to give any information as to who was to pay for the dynamiting. I won't tell you that," was the only thing he would say In Lsnirdon. Onlv once In his confession did Claudlanes mention the graft cases. H said he had been sent to the trial of Tirey L. Ford, chief counsel for the United Railroads, to watch. "To watch what?" asked Langdon. "Just to watch," snapped back the Greek. After the man had gone over the ground he was brought back to San Francisco and started to walk aw-iy from the party. District Attorney Lang don. however, had him locked tip. "You'll never get anything from ma if vou lock me up," he threatened, and he 'has so far kept this threat. To District Attorney Langdon. who has visited him in his cell several times, he has denied that he even confessed the crime, and has wandered off into Incoherent stories when questioned.

The Fra ser river is again on a rampag. and ac cording to present Indications the dis astrous events of a .month ago will be repeated, this time with even greater severity. Great anxiety Is felt here for the safety of homes, ae H Is believed that the water this time will not only ravage the crops, but do an Immense amount of damage to property. Already many of the farmers have made preparations to desert their homes near the lowlands and take to higher ground, as It seems a foregone conclusion that the water will enter their dwellings within the next 24 01 28 hours. The area of the flooded district Is between 80.000 and 40.000 acres. A large portion of that ground was planted in crops which were destroyed by tha first flood. These had been replaced by the farmers, and this second flood has already ruined the second planting. Tho cause of the present swelling of the river is the same as in the first flood, the molting of mountain snows, due to warm weather.
