Part ll—Pages 9 to 16 FIND TIMES CLEW IN HANDWRITING Earl Rogers, Detectives and the Sheriff Hold Lengthy Session with Chirography Expert TRY TO LOCATE OSTERHAUS Captain Alleged to Have Been on Dynamite Schooner Kate Seen at San Pedro ' ANOTHER BODY FOUND ' IN ADJOINING BUILDING Buried beneath several ton* of debris, a' body was found last evening on the second floor of ' the Baumgardt Print ing company plant at 116 North Broad way, which was wrecked by the explo sion that destroyed the Times building. The body was discovered by • workman employed by Contractor Morrison.. The corpse was lying at tha extreme east ern end of the building. .; S^vi. While ,1 the discovery was ,. made late" yesterday afternoon, the matter was not reported until last night The workman was ' engaged In removing the rubbish from the second floor when he lifted a bundle of burned papers and saw the body. The shock was too great for the laborer and he dropped his shovel and fled. Lost night be appeared and ■ re ported the matter to the police. The coroner was notified and will remove the body this morning. That the power schooner Kate, which Is supposed to have brought 500 pounds of nltro-powder to Southern California, reached San Pedro and discharged Its cargo is the belief of the detectives working on the dynamiting case. Cap tain J. Osterhaus, alleged to have been aboard the Kate when the explosive was transferred to that vessel from the Pastime at a secluded part of San Francisco bay, was seen In San Pedro the day following the explosion that wrecked the Times building. It is said. The officers now are searching for Os terhaus, but so far have been unable to trace his movements beyond San Pedro. c..* j, : According to Information obtained at San Pedro yesterday, Captain " Oster haus appeared at San Pedro October 2 and remained there for several days. He is well known to the old-time resi dents of that town, and has been sail ing ln southern waters for twenty years. A saloon keeper at San Pedro in formed the officers that Osterhaus stat ed that he was going to San Diego. The officers have been unable to find that he reached San Diego. They now believe he returned to the Kate while the vessel was lying at anchor some where outside San Pedro harbor, and sailed for the south. .'.•;. / " , Osterhaus probably Is one of the best Informed seamen sailing off the Pacific coast. He knows almost every harbor and anchorage from Alaska to the southern prt of South America. He is familiar with the small islands off the Mexican coast, and frequently has made trips to uncharted Islands ln the Pacific ocean off the Central and the South American coasts. ;•»*£•« LOOK FOR OSTERHAUS Owing to the fact that the officers have been unable to get any definite Information concerning the movements of the Kate since that boat was seen In San Francisco bay, they believe the vessel probably was taken to .some point off the coast near San Pedro and the powder taken ashore. The detectives ' attach great Impor tance to Osterhaus having been seen ln San Pedro the day after the explosion, and are bending their efforts toward locating him. If Osterhaus Is found, the officers say, lt is probable that the Identity and whereabouts of the men who purchased the explosive at Giant, Cal., September 23, will be learned, and that arrests will follow within a short time. . . " • The detectives are positive that Os terhaus can give them information that will result in the clearing of the matter that has baffled more than 200 officers who are investigating the case. With the exception of the develop ments at San Pedro practically noth ing of ; importance was accomplished by the officers yesterday.

HANDWRITING EXPERTS Following the * conference, Browne and" the San Francisco police officers returned to the northern city without making an arrest.

NEW CITRUS CROP WILL RUN 50,000 CARLOADS Railroads Plan for Record Year Southern California Oranges and Lemons Southern California's citrus crop is expected to aggregate 30,uuu carloads by the end of the season, October 31. This will be 8000 carloads less than last year, which broke the records for shipments of this kind from this section. , '.• ■ '. .. - According to present prospects, the crop the coming year will be not less than 60,000 carloads, If one may depend upon the plans of the railroad men,- who already . are casting eagle eyes upon the shipments of oranges and lemons from Southern California in the twelve months to come. In addition to the crop of Southern California, the shipments from the state will be augmented this season by 2800 carloads from Northern Cal ifornia. The shipments in that sec tion of the state also show an In crease this year, being 250 loads ln advance of those sent east last sea son from that part of California north of the Tehachapi. , The fruit in that district matures earlier than it does ln Southern California and is usually ln such condition that it meets with great approval by the easterners for the Thanksgiving and Christmas markets. Northern oranges, as a rule, are sent east while green, but as they did not color well during shipment last year, and the price declined ac cordingly, the growers of that section are thinking of using a different method. At present, it is declared, that the fruit of the northern district of this state Is further advanced than usual and it is expected that the first ship ments will be accordingly much earlier. Taking all of California into con sideration, the prices of the fruit for the coming season are likely to be good. W**!-):- - .:'..

Ad dresses, reports, election of officers for the coming year and the reading of many scientific papers took, up the greater portion of the opening day. The meeting.was called to brder by Dr. W. J. Hawkes, president of the society, at 10 o'clock in the morning. Dr. Hawkes in Ills annual address at tacked proposed national medical leg islation. He said in part: "The ultimate result of the making of the proposed medical legislation bills into law, no matter what • the wording may be, would be the binding hand and foot of all medical or other healing practice not indorsed by the American Medical association. Care was taken in the phraseology of the proposed bills that lawmakers and the laity generally could find nothing to warrant the claim that such a fear was well grounded. But we know better. Prof. Irving Fisher's bulletin of the committee of one.hundred says: 'The health department would mean death to the quacks.' But a homeopath is to them a quack! They doubtless are honest In their belief— It would seem to them a bounden duty to sup press all quacks! And if they are hon est they will do their best to accom plish that end; they always have tried to suppress us as quacks. ; V KEPT OUT OF ARMY "Already, without such legislation and without a representative In the cabinet, they are able to keep homeo pathic surgeons and ail others not of the miscalled 'regular' school out of the army and navy and all other gov ernmental professional positions. "This can't be altogether accident, nor because all others are unfit. "There are nearly 7000 physicians employed' by the United States gov ernment; all are allopathic—not one is of any other school. Is this the re sult of accident or of design? "The National -League for Medical Freedom Is doing and has already done wonderful work In this matter; and we all, every one of us, should Join this association. It costs nothing but the filling out of a blank, which the league will furnish to all who may apply, and a 2-cent stamp. ;•:. "Our great need in the furtherance of both our professional and political Interests is more of the old-time faith and enthusiasm— enthusiasm and self-sacrifice of Hahnemann and his disciples and coworkers in the old country; and of Hering, Guernsey, Lippe, Dunham, the Aliens and others in our own."

The disagreement is over what is known as the Phllput resolution, pro viding for an administrative body and the unification of the three missionary, organizations in the church. As it is now organized the church has no cen tral body. A committee of eight met in Kansas City last week to form plans to defeat the Phllput resolution, and a committee of fifty met today to carry on this work. The negro question came up for dis cussion today and was treated at length by B. J. Lehman, president of the Southern Christian institute in Missis sippi. He said: "If we do not take steps to dlschargo our duty toward the negroes their de generation will rapidly undermine our society. "Social conditions of our towns and villages are alarming. Unless we ar rest sinister tendencies we must pre pare to see in the next fifty or seventy five years labor strife, mob violence and night rider depredations."
