WOMAN CAPTURES
SUSPECT 'TERROR'
Boyle Heights Matron with Revol
ver Compels Prisoner to
March Ahead of Her
STOPS STRANGE MAN BY GUN
Supposed Offender Slips Away as
Warrant Is Being Made
Out; Eludes Police
Compelling a man Bhe believed <o
be the Boyle Heights terror to enter
her home and breakfast on tea ana
biscuits, and later bringing him down
town under the same compelling In
fluence, wan the achievement of Mrs.
Margaret Keardon, li7D4 Winter •treat,
yesterday. She would have landed the
man in jail pending an investigation
of his record but for the fact that
he slipped away while she was sweax
ing to a warrant for his arrest and
an attempt was being made to photo
graph him.
Mrs Reardon says the man gave the
name of William Smith and said he
had been working at a grading camp
near Ramona convent. She bol.evea
he has been prowling about her home
and obtained a warrant In Police
Judge Williams' court for his arrest
on a vagrancy charge. Officers are
looking for him. -
Smith Is a man between 40 and 50
years old and has a peculiar walk be
tween a slouch and limp, Mrs. Hoar
don says, that tallies in several m-
Htances with reports made to the po
lice by victims of the Boyle Heights
assailant. His story to Mrs. Reardon, j
according to her report to the district
attorney's office, was conflicting in
many details.
Several times he attempted to run
from the woman, she says, as she es
corted him from her home down town,
tout she halted him with a threat to
shoot if he did not stop.
BOVGIIT A REVOLVER
"I 6aw him this morning in my back
yard," she said yesterday. "He acted
suspiciously and appeared to be at
tempting to find a place to secrete him- j
self. For months, all during the time
that women and tlieir escorts have
been attacked near my home, I have
been disturbed ut night by a man
prowling around my house and tam
pering with the windows and locks
on the door?. Several times I have
seen him running away Into the
night and once he clambered to a sec
ond-story window and dropped to the
ground when he saw I had discovered
him. I had purchased a re\ olver to
protect myself the day before and fired
ah him twice through a door that led |
on an open porch and once from the
■window. I heard him cry out as If
in pain as he ran away and leaped
over a fence."
"Yesterday, when this man who sail
his name was Smith saw mo in the
doorway he climbed over the backyard
and ran across a vacant lot. I
seized a revolver and followed him.
Whin 1 threatened to shoot if he did
not stop running he stopped short. His
story to me was conflicting.
GAVE HIM BKKAKFA.ST
"With thpi revolver held at hie head
I drove him Into my housu and gave
him tea and biscuits to breakfast on.
All the while he kept begging to be al
lowed to go, telling me it seemed to
luake him awfully nervous. After he
had Irank a little tea I put on my hat
and with him before me we walked
down town. I held the gun in my
hand covered by paper.
"Three times he attempted to run
away but the. gun stopped him. I hope
he is caught, for I feel sure he la the
man who is prowling around this dl.-'
--trlct. He answers the description of
the man I fired upon, although It
was .quite dark. His peculiar slouehy
walk is one of the things that stand
out clearly in my memory."

GOMPERS STATES UNION
MEMBERS ARE INNOCENT
President of American Federation
Discusses Disaster
ST. LOUIS, Oct. I.—Samuel Oompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, said today that he did not be
lieve union labor members were In any
way responsible for the deadly ex
plosion and fire In the building of the
Los Angeles Times.
"The position of the Times toward
union labor is well known," said Gom
pers, "bnt nothing has happened re
cently to make the feeling of union
men against the paper more acute. I
regret the loss of life and destruction
of property, but I see no reason for
thinking union members had anything
to do with It."
HAWLEY PRAISES WORK
OF FIRE CHIEF AND MEN
Fire Commissioner C. O. Hawley was
enthusiastic In his praise of Fire Chief

way in which the flames were con

covered themselves with glory," said
Mr. Hawley. "If the flames had been
allowed to communicate to the build
ing at First and Spring, formerly occu
pied by the Mullen & Bluett company,
which In an old fire trap, it is probable
a conflagration would have followed.
The buildings all around the Times
office were kept from serious Injury,

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 2, 1010.
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION
VOLUNTEERS ASSISTANCE
Organization Insists That Grand
Jury Investigate the Charges
Made After the Explosion
Los Angeles Typographical union, No.
174, yesterday demanded a grand Jury
Investigation of the explosion and firo
which destroyed the Times building
Saturday morning. Ralph Criswell,
president of the union, and E. J. Hlck
raan, vice president, took this action
after tendering the management of the
Times any assistance its members could
give In getting out its paper.
Because of the fieiit that has been
waged for years between the Times and
the International Typographical union,
the members of the latter organization,
Mr. criswell says, are especially anx
ious that the mystery regarding the
explosion shall be cleared away.
"The typographical union wants a
thorough investigation by an honest
grand jury," said Mr. Criswell. "It
wants the work done by men anxious
to get the facts. If the Times building
was dynamited, it wants the guilty
persons apprehended and given the se
verest penalty the law makes possible.
"Believing that in the circumstances
participation in the parade of union
men which had been arranged for Mon
day night would be unwise, wo suggest
ed that H be abandoned, in a letter
sent to the grand marshal before we
learned of the action of the Central
Labor council. The letters which we
sent explain themselves:
H. G. Chandler, Business Manager
Times:
My Dear Sir: I take this means
of expressing my sincere regret on
account of the terrible accident
which befell the Times this morn
ing, and by authority of the bo;;rl
of directors of Los Angeles Tyio
graphlcal union No. 174 I hereby
tender you our aid in getting cut
your paper until .-such time as you
may wish to dispense with our
services.
Very respectfully,
RALPH L. CRISWELL,
President L. A. T. U., No. 174.
Mr. Feider, Grand Marshal Union
Labor LTarade:
My Dear Mr. Fefder: At the last
regular meeting of the Los Angeles
Typographical union, No. 174, a res
olution was unanimously adopted to
participate in the union labor pa
ra, k- to be held on Monday evening,
October 3, but in view of the aci
dent ihat befell the Tlmea this
morning, I wish to suggest that the
parade be abandoned, and take this
means of notifying you that my
union will not participate if it is
decided to carry .>ut the original
program. Very respectfully,
RALPH L. CRISWELL.
President L. A. T. U., No. 174.

SAYS DESTROYERS OF
TIES NOT ANGELENOS
Police Chief Believes Outrage
Committed by Men from
Another City
"We are doing everything In »ur
power to apprehend the person or per
sons responsible for the destruction
of the Times this morning," said Chief
Gailoway yesterday. "I have had pa
trolmen stationed at the railroad j
depots and kept a close watch on all
outgoing trains. I do not think that j
the despicable outrage was committed
by a Lob Angeles union labor man or
any of their sympathizers, but by
someone from another city—which
place I do not know at the present
time. •
"We do not know the exact cause!
of the fire but have every reason to j
believe it to have been caused by |
dynamite or nitro-glycerine. Until j
the rescue corps now at work on the |
building has reached the basement of .
the building it will be impossible to |
pay with certainty the real cause, i
When they clear away enough of the
debris so that we can investigate the |
basement under the alleyway where ,
the explosive Is supposed to have been i
placed we will be able to say with J
certainty the cause of the conflagra
tion."
Captain Flammer of the detective
department said:
"Although we are in possession of i
no tangible clews as to the Identity
of the men responsible for the out
rage, I hive assigned every available
man on the force to assist in probing
the cause of the fire. That the build- |
ing was wrecked by dynamite seems
certain from all my men have been
able to learn. There are certain rlews
which we believe might lead to ar
rests being made, but whether they
will end in any real result is Impos
sible to tell now.
"The ruins were thoroughly Inves
tigated yesterday as far as possible
by detectives, but owing to the V Bt
nmount of debris they were greatly
h'indicaped. We are doing everything
in our power to take the guilty per
sons into custody and believe that we
w'll be able to apprehend the fiends
within a short time."
MINING MEN DEPLORE
DESTRUCTION OF TIMES
Pass Resolutions of Sympathy to
Widows and Orphans
The American Mining congress.
which held its last official meeting
yesterday morning, passed a resolution
deploring the destruction of the Los
An;," les Times.
Tlie resolution, submitted to the con
gress by Acting Secretary Sidney
Norman and unanimously adopted by
the congress, follows;
"The American Mining congress, al
most at the close of the most import
ant and most enjoyable convention in
its history. deplores the disaster
which wrecked the establishment of
tile I.os Angeles Times early this
morning. It extends to the Times, the
widows, orphans and relatives of
those who have been taken its deepest
sympathy, and hopes that the blame
will be promptly placed, and the cul
prits, If any there be, adequately
punished."
General Sampson of Arizona said
that no punishment was too great for
the culprits, nnd other remarks that
followed the reading of the resolution
were equally as strong In sentiment.

For Rheumatism and Nervousness — No Cure, No Pay
Rheumatism-Cause and Cure
Too much uric acid in the syster/i is the cause of Rheumatism,
Nervousness, Kidney and Liver troubles, Neuralgia, Back
ache and many other complaints. This* excess uric acid is a
poison—which destroys tissue, retards circulation and weakens
the vital organs.
The only remedy is to eliminate thisi excess uric acid. The
quickest, surest and best way to do this is by wearing Electro
podes. These remarkable galvanic insoles remove all poisons
and impurities from the entire system —leaving the blood,
nerves and tissues in a strong, healthy condition—and every
organ free and able to perform its functions properly.
One man writes from Texas: "I have used two pairs of
Electropodes. They cured me of a very seve^ case of Sciatic
Rheumatism." Another in California writes : "I give Electro
podes credit for curing my brother, in two weeks, of a case of
Rheumatism of long standing." Electropodes are sold under
