IX KECOVERIXG BODIES
Coroner's Jury Flnda Death of 21
Employes of Times Caused by Dy
namite Explosion 300 Men Work
ing In Debris With Slow Head
way Colossal Reward If Offered
for Arrest of Malefactors Believed
at Least Three Men are Implicated.
Los Angeles, Cal., Oct 4. The cor
oners Jury visited the Times ruins to
day and it Is believed, will return a
verdict that a dynamite explosion
caused the death of 21. Although
100 men are working at rescue work,
the searching of the ruins has hardly
begun and no additional bodies have
been recovered. Officers of the gas
and electric companies today report
ed they received letters threatening to
dynamite their plants too.
The work of clearing the debris la
extremely hazardous and tedious,
Beams hold up the ashes and several
workmen were buried In the falling
ashes when they stepped over pits.
Each shovel full of ashes Is handled
three times so no chances are taken
of missing portions of the burled bod
lex. Mayor Alexander has named the
First National bank as the depository
for reward funds.
Under the stimulus of these prof
fered rewards aggregating $100,000,
hundreds of men, policemen and pri
vate citizens here and In all coast cit
ies, are searching for clews that may
lead to the arrest of the band of con
spirators who are held responsible for
the blowing up of the building and
the attempted destruction of the
homes of Oeneral Harrison Gray Otis
and F. J. Zeehanrelaar.
Police and civil officials believe
that there were at least three men
concerned In the outrage which cost
the lives of more than a score of
Times employes, and the city has plac
ed a price of $10,000 upon the head
of each. The county yesterday voted
an additional reward of $5000 for
very man captured and convicted,
and on top of all this, members of the
Merchants' and Manufacturer's asso
ciation or which Mr. Zeehandelaar Is
secretary, decided to offer a reward
of $50,000. Twenty-five thousand of
this amount already has been sub
scribed. The rest will be contributed
today it Is said.
Upon the assumption that at least
three men were responsible for the
wrecking of the Times, the combined
offers of rewards thus reach up to
$100,000 a figure almost unprece
dented In the annals of criminal pur
suits, and Indicative of the determin
ation of all classes to hunt down and
bring to justice the perpetrators of
the dynamite outrage.
Another Clew,
San Jose, Oct. 4. The attention of
the authorities searching for the Los
Angeles dynamiters was turned to
Alvlso slough, the lowest exeremlty of
San Francisco bay today. On the af
ternoon of Sept. 25- a launch which
tallies In almost every point with the
mysterlouB craft which the dynamite
was loaded on at the Giant Powder
works entered there. The same night
the three men aboard loaded boxes
In an automobile. The road from this
point leads directly to Los Angeles.
Detectives Search Marshes.
San Francisco, Oct. 4. Accompani
ed by an experienced detective Wil
liam Burns, In charge of the detectives
searching for the Los Angeles dyna"
mlters, searched the marshes of San
Francisco bay today. It is believed
their search will result In the dis
covery of a direct clew to the method
whereby the powder was transported
to Los Angeles from here. Detectives
received a tip last night which led
them to hunt the marshes.
Labor Federation Angry.
Los Angeles, Oct. 4. Delegates to

tail of 30 policemen last night to la

ganized labor.

Los Angeles, Oct. 4. Post MaBter
Harrison admitted today that he had
received letters of an alarming na
ture since the dynamiting of the
Times. As a result the postoffice Is

WELL KNOWN WOOL
BUYER IS SUICIDE
GEORGE ABBOT TAKES OWN
LIFE AT HOTEL PENDLETON
Body Found Yesterday Afternoon Willi
Poison Box at I In Side Iycft Letters
tor Wife and Daughters Financial
Reverses Believed to Be Cause
George Abbott, one of the best
known woolbuyers In the northwest,
who has made his headquarters In
Pendleton during a great part of each
year for several years, committed sui
cide In his room in the Hotel Pendle
ton some time Sunday night. He
took poison the exact nature of
which Is not known as the small box
In which the powder was contained
was not labeled and as he had taken
all of it there was no chance for an
analysis. A post mortem examination
was not deemed necessary.
Abbott retired as usual Sunday eve
ning and when he failed to appear by
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Clerk Moller started an investiga
tion which resulted in the discovery
of his dead body on the bed. Letters
addressed to his wife and to each of
his two daughters were found ad
dressed, stamped and sealed, while a
letter was also left for W. A. Brown,
manager of the hotel. The latter
gave Instructions us to where his ac
counts should be sent for collection
and requested that no greater newspa
per notoriety than possible be given
to the case. The letters to his wife
and daughters were not opened and
were mailed today by Coroner Fol
som. The dead man's married life had
not been altogether satisfactory aa he
hud not lived with his wife for sev
eral years. She with one of their
daughters, resides In Portland, Maine,
while the other daughter Is in Eng
land, the land of his nativity.
Abbott had always been consider
ed In Pendleton as a man of consid
erable means, but his death apparent
ly reveals the opposite. Most of his
friends believe financial reverses to
be responsible for his determination
to end his life.
Coroner Folsom empanneled a Jury
and held an Inquest. The verdict re
turned was that he had met his death
by poison self-administered. The
members of the Jury were B. Jensen,
W. F. Earnhart, L. E. Penland. John
F. Hill, A. C, Frledley and Arthur
Gibson.
The wife was notified of the death
but has not yet ordered any disposi
tion of the remains and they will
probably be- Interred here.
Mall Order Men Prosperous.
Chicago, Oct. 4. According to fig
ures available today, the present year

to be more than SO per cent over the
same period last year. Other concerns

nate stockholders In these companies
will share in some Juicy melons. As

flects the prosperity of the agricul
tural sections of the middle west.

Winter, Wis., Oct. 4. Armed depu
ties today surrounded the cabin of
John Dletz and demanded his sur

cers have determined to riddle the
cabin with bullets despite the fact that
DIetz's wife and three children are
within. Dletz, the officers say, is
an outlaw and his cabin is situated
near Cameron Dam. What determin
ed the officers to storm it is the man's
boost that he would come to Winter
and kill every man who took part
in an ambuscade which resulted in
the fatal wounding of Myra Dietz,
aged 23, who is dying at a local hos

brothers. The other brother escaped.
Dietz had trouble with a lumber com
pany which claimed the homestead
Dietz occupies. He refused to vacate
and officers were called upon to
force him to do so. Several deputies
went to arrest him but lacked the
courage to serve the warrants. Fi

Address of Welcome.
"As the representative of the busi
ness men of Spokane it is my duty as
well as a pleasure and a privilege, to
welcome the International Dry Farm
ing congress to this city. We wel
come you first, because we love to
show western hospitality to our
friends who live In other portions of
our country and other countries of
the world. We are proud of our
home, proud of the development of
so great and so habitable a city in the
very few years we have been on the
map and while we realize that some
mistakes have been made and some
crudities are visible, we want you to
know that we are putting our hands
cheerfully and hopefully to their cor
rection. "We welcome you, secondly, be
cause your aims are closely allied to
our own. We believe that a healthy
growth to this city can come only as
prosperity and population come to this
great area of which this city Is a cen
tral mart, hence our effort to bring
Intelligent and industrious settlers in
to our teritory to make homes on the
land. We believe the same industry
and the same intelligence applied to
agriculture will yield greater reward
in this Inland empire than anywhere
else on earth.
"We welcome you, too, because you
are engaged in a great constructive
effort which Is sure to work benefit
to mankind. I feel sure that this
movement is not a scheme to furnish
paying Jobs to any set of men, nor a
political game to elect some one to
some remunerative office, or to per
petuate some selfish hold upon the
public treasury; but a real and very
great forward movement, pointed to
ward good citizenship, good morals
and human brotherhood. In so far as
you revote your deliberations to that
end, in so far as you dedicate your
selves to unselfish service, you will
achieve your own Individual happiness
and raise the level of all human life."
