It la now positively known, that 21 lost their lives in the-explosion and fire which destroyed the plant of the Los Angeles Times. Only five of 19 b6dles hurled In the ruins have been recov ered, although scores of men worked all day removing dead bodies while the police spent a hard day sacking clews to the perpetrators of the crime. Little real progress seems tohave been made. The latest suspect, the third taken Into custody, Is Thomas Egan, and he is an alleged anarchist. The police decline to say on what ground they arrested him. A reward of $18,6CO Is now offered for the arrest of the persons who blew up the plant. The city council raised the city's reward from $5,000 to $10,000. In addition to this the union labor leaders have offered ?7, 500 and other newspapers $l,00O. General Otis and the other respon sible heads of the paper unequivocal ly charge the Times building disas ter and. the narrowly averted at tempts at further destruction of life and property to labor union sources. With- equal emphasis the leaders of union labor here and throughout the state repudiate the accusation and have offered all aid In their power In Ihe tn'.rt to detect the culprits. For 20 years, following a quarrel With, the Typographical union, which resulted In making tho Times a non union paper, General Otis has fought unionism with every resource at his command. lie has been soconded In this fight by the Merchants' and Man ufacturers' association, whoso secre tary was the object of frustrated dynamiting. Feeling Rune High. The feeling throughout tho city over tho Times disaster was aug mented by the startling discovery that a dynamite bomb had been found under tho residence of Secre tary Zeehandelaar, and reached a Btalo of. alarm and consternation when tho attempt on General Otis' residence becanio known. General Otis -has Issued af state ment in which he says: "Whllo I am amazed at the desper ation of criminal conspirators in de stroying the Times building and. slay ing Its loyal dufenders, whose loss I deeply deplore, the .Times ltoeif will live bravely on, defending tho vital nd. essential principles of. industrial Winter, Wis., Oct. 3.

I can get $500,000 worth of machinery by simply sign ing a check, but who Is going to give rde back my inn?" The Times published a statement which expresses Its thanks to Its many friends who have made prof-, fers of financial assistance to fami lies of the victims of tho Times dis aster.

By the upset ting of a tender In the North river, twenty-nine sailors from the battleship New Hampshire were drowned. The sailors were return ing to the battleship after shore leave nnd more than 100 of them had crowded aboard the tender, which was being towed to the battleship. About 300 yards off shore the craft either swamped or was upsst, and the entire load of Jackles was precip itated into the water. Boats were Immediately put out from the New Hampshire, and wher ever a, bobbing head showed a man was rescued. But In tho darkness many sank and others were almost unconscious when dragged to safety. Ordinary Seaman JIcMalne, who enlisted from Indianapolis, before the board of inquiry told the story of the accident as he had witnessed it. In the telling his seaman's respect for a superior officer made him gloss over the part 'he himself had played and dwell with pride In the exploits of Ensign Chevalier, who was In charge of the return party and who must face a courtmartial. "George Stewart of the New Hamp shire was coxswain of the sailing launch," said he, "and N. B. Setley was coxswain of the steamer. . I was bowman of the steamer and Mr. Chevalier rode In the steamer after we had the sailing launch filled at tho wharf. I should guess that be tween 70 or 80 sailors piled Into the sailing launch at the wharf; there was a big crowd there, all anxious to get back to tbe ship. First Felt Shock. "First thing I felt was -a jerk, and I looked back from where I was standing In the bow and saw several of ' the men In the sailing launch stand up. Then I felt another jerk and the whole bow of the sailing launch Just simply dove under. It didn't go under slowly; It just jump ed under, and the water came back and swept ever man Into the rher, that Is, every man who did not Jump first. "All I saw in the light of our lan tern It was very dark then was just white dots all blotched about in tho water. They were men's faces, those white dots, and there were jells and 'hollers,' a number 'not be ing able to swim. It made my heart jump up in my face to hear those yells. "Then I heard Mr. Chevalier yell 'Stop! Stop! Settley, shut off the steam In the engine. Back her!" Mr. Chevalier called, but Settley didn't dare to back, for he was afraid of cutting into the men who were swim ming around In the water. Mr. Chev alier was at the bltts trying to cast off the towing painter. I helped him, und as soon as we got the slack we cast ofT. I couldn't see anything of the sailing cutter; she must have been filled to the gunwhales. . "I saw. Mr. Chevalier, strip, to hjs KES FUTILE Now York, Oct. 3. Dr. Hubert B. Gudgor of Ashovllle, N.

Then I ran foivtard, ripping off my clothes as I ran, and I picked up the forward life buoy.

They wero excited and started to grab for me, but I fought them off and yelled to. them to put one hand each on the buoy and paddle to the launch.
