MOTHER SKKS SON The mother of Midshipman Cheva lier, who was in charge of the swamped boat and who collapsed after saving twelve men, arrived in New York to day from New Bedford, Mass., and spent most of the day with her son. He is still shaken after the extreme mental and physical strain, .It. Karl, one of the men supposed to be dead, is credited with having saved, four men. Karl was a big fel low and. a good swimmer. In the water he held up two men until two life preservers came his way. He gave these to the boat and then swam around and found two other men who were exhausted and " sinking. - These he held up until they .were picked up by- a boat. ; '" Still regardless of his own safety, ho did not attempt to get aboard for fear of overloading the boat. Nobody seems to have seen him afterward. The account of his bravery was given by his shipmates. All day today police boats dotted the river above West 157 th street, their crows grappling for bodies. Their efforts were in vain. ■ . NO BODY RECOVERED Not one body was recovered. Old river men said they were not sur prised, for when the accident occurred, they declared, the tide was runningl out like a mill race. It probably^will be several days be fore more bodies are found. .. Along- the water *:ont In the vicinity of the accident crowds gathered today, rushing hither and thither seeking' in formation. Many women were among them, anxiety depicted on their faces. (Cu-itUiueU on l'sce 'Iwoj LOS ANGELES HERALD INDEX OF HERALD'S NEWS TODAY LOS ANGELES g:! A.

PAQB 9 MAYOR RAISES REWARD FOR CRIMINALS TO $10,000 City Executive Says Officers Are Bending Every Effort to Solve Mystery Mayor Alexander yesterday noon raised the reward offered by the city for the apprehension of those guilty of causing the Times disaster from $2500 to $10,000. The mayor made this raise in the reward offered after considering all phases of the case, having come to the conclusion that anyone connected with such a crime would not be tempted to reveal details by the sum first offered. It is hoped that the added amount will prove alluring enough to make some one of those connected with the affair confess. No promise of protection for turning state's evidence is held out, however. MAYOR AND CHIEF ACTIVE The city officials are doing all in their power to unravel the mystery. Mayor Alexander and Chief of Police Galloway having spent the entire day yesterday directing the work of possible clews. Just what is being done they would not reveal last even ing, except to state that unusual emergency action is being taken. "To tell whae we are doing would bo utter folly Just at present," the mayor said last evening at the Alex andria, "especially as nearly all our moves so far have been of a secret nature. To publish our plans would undoubtedly warn those for whom we are searching of their danger and re sult in their escape. EVIDENCES OF DYNAMITE "From all appearances the -Times building-'-was wrecked by dynamite, and such is the general opinion. Every clew, even the slightest and most re mote, is being run down. "The money appropriated by the city council to aid in unearthing the per sons responsible for the terrible affair Is being used, we believe, to the best advantage." ♦-*♦ I BONAPARTE WILL RETIRE PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2.—Having served as president of the National Municipal league for seven years, Charles J.

Brings Glowing Tale from Arizona Town Rich strikes of placer gold in and around Nogales, Ariz., recently made have set that town and surrounding district in a state of frenzied excite ment. So says A. Ernest Garcia, 518 South Los Angeles street, who arrived from the border town yesterday. "I am surprised that Los Angeles has rot heard about the strike," siiid 'Garcia iaat nigth, "It Is trio principal subject of conversation throughout the southern part of Arizona just now, and many are rushing to Nogales by train and automobile. I staked out a claim before I came away." It is said that samples taken at random on the surfaces when" tested give values of from $20 to $155 In gold per ton. These values represent dirt tested east, west, north and south of the town within a radius of probably a mile. The excitement following the strike has caused everybody, from govern ment officials stationed there to^Mex ican laborers, to take up claims. The discovery was brought about in a queer manner, accirding to Mr. Garcia. As the story goes, Alphonse Bacheiler, an old-timer, once saved a Papago Indian's life and the Indian never for got his benefactor. On his dying bed, as a last request, he asked his son to find Bachelier and show him where the riches of the tribe lay at the white man's feet. The Papago tribe inhabited at one time all (ft southern Arizona and north ern Sonora, and it had often been told that they had washed gold from the dirt of what Is now the Nogales town site, but no credence was given to the story by the white men who settled in the district. With the arrival of the white men the Indians retreated southward to the Altar district in So nora. * " Bachelier, with several friends, ac companied the Papago's son to the lo cation of the ground that the dying Papago had told his son contained Im mense riches. Here they staked out claims, which was noticed by the com munity and led to every one testing the dirt, resulting in a general staking. The investigatio7i by expert mining men that followed definitely settled the richness of the strike, asserts Gar cia, and now mining men from all ever Arizona are flocking into Nogales and the population of the town is growing with every incoming train. Conservative mining men who have arrived in the town, it is understood, have estimated that the claims will av erage $11 to the toa in gold, which will give a wide margin of profit in the operations computed at $2 per ton. WELLS-FARGO DETECTIVE TO BE BAY CITY CHIEF John F. Seymour Succeeds Martin as Head of Frisco Police SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.—When the police commissioners meet tomorrow to nil tho vacancy created by the resig nation of Chief of Police John R. Mar tin, John F. Seymour, chief of Wells- Fargo company's detective bureau and formerly captain of detectives in the city force, will be named. Capt. Seymour today confirmed the rumors that he had been chosen at a conference of the city officials. "I made my proposition to those who approached mo anti they accepted It," he said. "I told them that I would take the place, provided tho department was purged of all politics and that no other city official in any other department would be permitted to have a voice in the administration of the affairs of the office of chief. I told them I would dis charge my duties honestly, efficiently and without fear or favor." Seymour was in the police depart ment for eighteen years under Chiefs Lees, Crowley and Sullivan. He left to accept a place with the Fair estate, and recently became associated with the express company. PUBLIC EAGER FOR NEWS OF THE TIMES TRAGEDY Interest in the developments following the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times office was so intense yesterday that the entire morning edition of The Herald was exhausted by 8 a. m., and this despite the fact that many thousands of extra papers had been printed. So great was the demand for news of the search for bodies and the efforts being made to capture the fiends who pecpe trated the outrage \that The Herald published at 7 o'clock last evening an e^tra edition, filled with news of the disaster. This,edition was soljj before 10 o'clock last nighty BANDIT CAPTURED; BYSTANDERS SHOT Three Slightly Wounded in Saloon Robbery, but Others Help to Take Thug SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.—Following a daring holdup of the saloon of Gio vanni Giohotto, during which he fired several shots into a crowd of 13 cus tomers, slightly wounding three men, George Smith, a young teamster, was chased through the Afreets early this morning by policemen in an automo bile, and arrested. He is held on a charge of assault with intent to rob, and three charges of assault with in tent to kill. Smith entered the saloon and, brand ishing his revolver, lined Glohotto and his patrons along the wall. He start ed for the cash register when one of the men broke from the line to escape, and Smith began shooting. Salvador Basso and Glohotto were struck in the forehead, and Frank Sullivan suf fered a superficial wound in the chest. After shooting, Smith ran from the place and his victims followed him.

MAY STOP AUTO RACE OF OCT. 15 Nassau Officials Will Hold Special Meeting—Barney Oldfield Ar raigns Management NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—The board of supervisors of Nassau county, Long Isl ■and, will hold a special meeting to morrow to consider the advisability of canceling the permits for the grand prize automobile race, scheduled to be held over the Vanderbtlt cup- course, October 16. iVotivittwtanding yesterday's list of four dead and more Unit--29 Injured. Incident to the Vanderbilt race, A. R. Partington, .general manager of the Long Island motor parkway, is author ity for the statement that nothing but official interference shall stop the grand prize. Several drivers booked to participate in the event have demanded mere ade quate policing of the course, and to night William Plckens, manager for Barney Oldfield, gave out the following message, which he says Oldne'd sent from Chicago: FOUR ABB CRTTICAI. "Withdraw my entry from grand prize race unless course will be guarded completely by troops. I am unwilling to risk my neck and car." Oldfleld follows with a severe ar raignment of the management of the Vanderbilt, whom he says, "spent noth ing to safeguard drivers and spectat ors." . The foregoing from Oldfield is some what cryptic, however. In that it was said in New York tonight that he had not been entered for the grand prize. It was at first understood he would drive a Benz car, but the Bens man agement is said to have decided on Hemery, Hem and Hearne as their drivers. C. C. Painter, a member of the Nas sau board of supervisors, will offer a motion to cancel the permit at a board meeting tomorrow. Any move to can cel the race will be bitterly fought. No more deaths of those injured had occurred up to tonight but tho condi tion of four persons is critical. PRISON CONGRESS OPENS INTERNATIONAL SESSION Thirty-Five Foreign Countries Represented by Delegates WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—With dele gates from thirty-nine foreign coun tries present, the International Prison congress assembled here today with much form and ceremony. Attorney General Wlckersham ad dressed the delegates on the progress toward the prevention of crime made in this country since the last con gress in Budapest In 1905. That the police often were too hasty about putting persons in jails was as serted by Charles R. Henderson, pro fessor of sociology at Chicago uni versity, during his opening address as president of the congress. The attorney general in his address declared that modern legislation sought not simply to deter by making an example of offenders, but by convinc ing the offenders of the wisdom of obeying the law restore him to a use ful status In society.

ON TRAINS 10ft FOUR MORE BODIES ARE TAKEN FROM TIMES BUILDING RUINS; POLICE STRIKE STRONG CLEW Detectives Learn of Purchase of High Power Explosive by Two Who Are Believed to Have Come Here OUTRAGE DENOUNCED FROM PULPITS Three of the Dead Found in Debris Are Identified; Five Men Believed to Have Been in Plot DAY'S SIGNIFICANT EVENTS ADVANCE DYNAMITE INQUIRY Detectives learned yesterday that five men were seen loiter ing about the home of F. J. Zeehandelaar at 830 Garland avenue Friday afternoon. Two of the men inspected the premises in a casual manner and later were joined by three others. After a few minutes' conference they separated and went in different directions. Mayor Alexander announces that reward for apprehension and conviction of perpetrators of dynamite outrage hat been raised from $2500 to $10,000. Sale of ten cases, each containing fifty pounds of 80% nitro glycerine, was made by the Giant Powder company of Giant, Cal., to two men in San Francisco. According to the police, the explosive was manufactured to order and was brought here in suit cases by men who made the trip by boat. A messenger boy reports having seen three men crouching on a balcony of a rooming house abutting an alley near the Times building. These men spoke in low tones and were acting in a suspicious manner. Three-quarters of an hour later the explosion occurred. Five bodies were removed from the debris since the work of removing the charred timbers, twisted iron girders and wrecked machinery began. Two of the bodies have been identified as those of J. Wesley Reaves, stenographer to Gen* Otis, and Harry L. Crane, assistant telegraph editor. One body was identified ?s Howard Courdway, linotype operator, but his parents claim the identification is a mistake. Another of the bodies is thought to be that at Carl Sallada, a linotype operator. Michael Eagan, arrested by detectives on suspicion of knowl edge of the attempt to dynamite the Otis home, is still held by the police, although no evidence against him has been found. The police say Eagan is a rabid anarchist and was heard to re mark that the only way to settle disputes was with bomb and torch. Sermons were preached in every church in Los Angeles on the explosion at the Times building and the murdering of many innocent employes. Flag placed at half mast over the ruins of Times building in honor of the dead employes. Gen. Otis visited the scene last night and inspected ruins. Detectives are guarding the wrecked building and keeping a close watch to prevent anything of value being taken away and look out for the evidence. Captain of Detectives Paul Flammer is having photographs taken of every piece of twisted iron. He is doing this to aid the experts on explosives who will endeavor to'ascertain the exact kind of explosive used. A double force of watchmen are guarding the plants of the various iron works. Many deputy sheriffs are guarding the Alexandria annex in course of construction. Policemen and watchmen are guarding the Los Angeles Trust and Savings bank at Sixth and Spring streets and the new Orpheum building in South Broadway. The police have taken precautions to guard the lives of citizens thought to be in danger. Arrest of one of the alleged dynamiters expected hourly; detectives working on a good clew. Four sticks of dynamite and a box of fulminate caps were found by E. D. Morrow, night watchman at the Los Angeles Gas com pany's plant in Aliso street, in a vacant house near the gas plant shortly after 11 o'clock last night. The explosive was wrapped in an old newspaper and the caps, in a tin box, were found in the same package. The dynamite sticks were wrapped in dirty paper which bore the date of August 30, 1908. Because of the condition of the wrapping on the powder the percentage of the stuff could not be determined. The Maier Brewing company's plant is less than a block from where the stuff was found. Morrow was making his rounds and decided to explore the in terior of a vacant house near the gas house. He found the package in a corner of one room near the front of the place. He carried the stuff to the central police station and turned it over to the detectives. The police now are working on the case in an effort to trace the ownership of the powder. It is believed that the stuff was stored in the building and probably would have been used to wreck the gas plant or the brewery. • The detectives believe that the owner of the powder abandoned the plan, fearing that the stuff was too old and insufficient to do great damage. A number of bodies were found by the workmen shortly after 12 o'clock this morning. The charred remains were pinned down by tons of twisted steel girders and the laborers, after many futile ef forts, were unable to»remove them. A steel crane will be taken to the wrecked building at 7 o'clock this morning, when the debris will be removed and the bodies taken out. Five men are believed by the police to have placed the explosive which wrecked the Times building, killing twenty-one persons, in juring a score of others and causing a property loss of more than half a million dollars. These same men are supposed to have placed the infernal machine near the home of Gen. H. G. Otis in Wilshire boule vard and to have arranged the time-bomb that was found beneath the window of the home of F. J. Zeehandelaar at 830 Garland avenue Saturday.
