For once cn'ne was made late today, following
an explosion which early today caus
, ed great loss of life and destroyed the
buildings and plant of the Times, en-
tailing a loss of nearly half a million
dollars and suspected effort to blow
up the auxiliary plant of that paper.
A powerful infernal machine was also
found today at the residence of Sec
retary Zeehandelaar, of the Mer
chants' and Manufacturers' Associa
tion. Telegram From Gen. Otis.
This afternoon the Times made
publlfc the following telegram from :
General Otis:
"Your wire, with its terrible news ;
reached me this morning. I am
amazed at the desperation of the ;
; criminal conspirators in destroying
the Times building and slaying its
j loyal defendenrs, whose loss I deeply
I deplore; but, .the Times itself will
; live on, bravely defending the vital
I and essential principles of industrial
j freedom under law which must yet
' triumph in the entire nation.
(Signed)
"HARRISON GRAY OTIS."
The death list of tht Timts disas
j ter which occurred this morning, will
! probably total nineteen. There are
four known dead and fifteen missing
whose bodies probably lie in the still
smoking ruins of the Times build-
ing.
In addition there are about twenty
injured, some of whom may die.
The original suspicion of the police
that the Times building disaster was j
due to a heavy charge of high ex
plosives was circumstantially con
firmed by the finding of the other ;
bombs and the statements of those j
persons in the building, or nearby
at the time of the explosion.
.g ajso aimost certain that the
explosion occurred in a narrow alley
that separated the two buildings oc
cupied by the Times. j
Foreman Graybill, of the compos- j
ing room, in which the full force of
the explosion was felt, and where j
the greatest direct damage was done,
is firmly of the opinion that it was !
due to dynamite in the alley. His j
statement is the clearest yet obtain
able. He said:
"I was standing near the center of
the composing room when all at
once a terrific force blow seemed to
raise a section of the floor clearto the
roof. The upheaval came between
two linotype machines. Frames and
broken timbers flew in all directions.
The force of the thing was indescrib
able. Grant Moore, a machinist, was
directly over the spot where the im
pact came through the floor. His
body Was hurled against the ceiling.
E. A. Jordan, a head setter, and E.
against the celling of .the composing
room.
"Every one of the type-setting ma
chines was thrown and hurled in all
directions."
Rewards which will probably
reach a quarter of a million dollars
will be offered by the publisher, the
officials of the city of Los Angeles
and citizens generally. Labor lead
ers in the East have expressed their
indignation and offer assistance.

CHARLOTTE SPEECH
Former Senator Butler Flays
Democratic Party and Ex
poses its Hypocrisy.
Greeted by a Crowded House Ar
raigns Governor Kitchin and His
Failure to Keep Promises Bond
Matter Explained The Democratic
Plan of Campaign is to "Cuss But
ler." The Charlotte News in reporting
the speech of former Senator Butler,
said :
"With Ex-Senator Marion Butler
advertised as the star attraction, the
Mecklenburg County court room was
almost crowded to the doors when the
Republican county convention was
called to order yesterday afternoon.
Every precinct in the county, with
the exception of Steel Creek No. 2
and Providence No. 1, was represent
ed by delegates and many Democrats
helped to swell the audience. When
the preliminary business of the con
vention was concluded and the time
for the appearance of the ex-Senator
rolled around, every seat was occu
pied and much of the standing room
was taken up. The crowd in the main
was, of course, composed of Repub
licans, but there were many Demo
crats in the audience, anxious to hear
what the returned chieftain had to
say."
The following is a report of the
speech from the Charlotte Observer:
The former Senator, was in good
form. He entered into the fight with
zest and his voice rang clear as with
vehement gesture and biting sarcasm
he arraigned the Democratic party in
this State, charged it with violated
pledges, with malicious attacks upon
him, and pointed to the Republican
party as the only hope for good gov
ernment in this State. The speaker
was heard by an audience which filled
the criminal court room, numbering
500 or 600 people. He was cordially
received and given good support al
though some of his most denuncia
tory periods were not marked by ap
plause. -
' It was 3.50 o'clock when Chairman
Jake .F. Newell reconvened the con
vention after a temporary adjourn
ment, and after the platform had
been read and adopted, so that the
ex-Senator might comment on it, he
proceeded to introduce him. In his'
preliminary remarks he referred to
the fact that Mr. C. W. Tillett, who
had been talked of for a Democratic
candidate for Governor, had criti
cised Butler in a bpeech at Winston
Salem. He did not think that a man
who was big enough to run for Gov
ernor wouldn't be afraid to meet the
man he's always cussing. He attrib
uted the refusal of the Democrats to
send a man to divide time, to the ex
Senator's prowess in debate. "For
they know that from his belt hangs
the scalps of Simmons, Aycock, and
how many others, colonel?"
"Oh, I don't know," rejoined Mr.
Butler with a deprecatory smile.
Mr. Newell concluded by presenting
him as "a man who has given you
more during his brief life than the
whole Democratic party has." The
speaker of the day was cheered when
he arose to speak.
Senator Butler, began by express
ing approval of the platform Just
read. "It is sufficient reason for
every voter in Mecklenburg to vote
the Republican ticket and put the
principles therein enumerated into
practice." (Applause.)
In Gaston the other day he took
just such a platform and held it up
and called for the Democratic plat
form for the purpose of comparison,
but was told that they didn't have
any. Over in the Fifth District, after
trading and swapping and swapping
and trading, they finally nominated
Major Stedman and told him to run
as fast as he could but gave him no
platform to run on. One man when
asked about this said that he thought
it was Major Stedman's wish not to
have a platform so that two years
hence he would not have to go up
and down explaining violated pledges,
as Governor Kitchin has to do now,
telling why he didn't give you any
anti-trust law with teeth. (Laughter)
It's to their credit that the Democrats
have quit having platforms, for thus
they don't add to their others, the
sin of lying.
Arraigns Governor Kitchin.
The Democrats of the State, in
their convention assembled here two
years ago, after the nomination of
Kitchin and after the friends of
Kitchin and Craig had called each
other liars and thieves, adopted a
platform in line with, the promises
made by Kitchin all over the State.
On every stump Kitchin posed as the
mighty, vigorous trust buster. "Elect
me," said he, "and we'll have an anti
trust law with teeth.""
