EXPLOSION WRECKS
LOS ANGELES TIMES
Fire Follows and Employes Are
Trapped and Many Meet
Death and Injury.
Lot Angelet Following the explo
sion and fire which destroyed the
Times building, with the almost cer
tain lost ot nineteen livet and Injury
to more than a store, the finding or a
dynamite bomb under the residence
of. F. J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of the
Merchants' and Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, and another under the window
of the residence of General HarrUon
Gray Otis, editor-in-chief of the Tlmos,
the city It In a ferment of excitement.
The explosion, whlcu occurred short
ly after 1 o'clock Saturday morning,
was of such terriric force that It al
most completely wrecked the whole
Interior of the six-story building, kill
ing several men Instantly and cutting
off othert wbo sought meaug of es
cape. Within a minute after tbe explosion
the Instantaneous Ignition of gns from
the p'pes through the building caused
flames to dart from a hundred win
dows and leap far above the roof. Its
force was greatest In the heart of the
building directly under the composing
room. Tbe men working there were
thrown to tbe ground and tbe linotype
machines tumbled over like a houie of
cards.
Flames Cut Off All Etcspe.
There were 115 employes in the
building at tbe time, half a hundred
othert having left within a halt hour
before with the winding up ot the
work for the first edition. Tbe scenes
that followed were Indescribable.
Men cut oft from ordinary exits by
flames darting from every tide, rush
ed hither and thltber looking tor a
meant of escape and wore finally
forced to Jump from second and third
story windows to the street below.
Mott ot the terlout tnjurlet were
the remits of these leaps for life.
Even this opportunity ot escape wss
denied to those wbo are numbered
among tbe missing, most of whom are
burled under the ruins. They died,
crushed to death under the crumbling
walls, or suffocated by tbe smoke and
flamet.
The paper wat Just being closed for
tbe morning edltlont and most of the
editorial force bad gone home for the
night. The mechanical force, bow
ever, was still at work and the men
were caught without a tecond't warn
ing. Labor Unions Blamed.
General Harrison Gray Otis and
other responsible heads of the Timet,
place the blame for tbe explosion on
tbe labor unions, with which organi
sations the paper bat long been en
gaged In bitter warfare. It It charged
that unknown partlet tet off a heavy
charge of dynamite in a blind alley
which ran into the center or the build
