SKINS OK UK VOLUTION
SEEN FOR SOME TIME
dnwx+ifed Prr«. W4**'**.
London. Oct. 4—The Times this
morning prints no dispatches from its
Lisbon correspondent, liut it prims
the Matin's wireless message and says
it has reason to believe that the news
of the revolution is true, ulthough the
rumors that the king is a prisoner are
not well supported.
Private advices received from Por-
tugal recently had reference to the
danger threatening the monarchy.
A letter from a well Informed cor-
respondent at Lisbon, received here
only last night, criticises the king as
giving almost as little aid to the mon-
archist cause as to the progressive,
and declares that his lack of force in
political affairs has been accentuated
by public suspicion of his private life.
King Manuel, says the correspond-
ent, for these reasons, has been rap-
idly losing the good esteem of those
whose honest attachments to the Un-
man church has hitherto held them
loyal to the monarchy in his person.
The Times further points out that
there have been many recent indica-
tions of approaching trouble, the per-
meation of military and naval affairs
with republicanism, rumors that con-
servative statesmen were entering .Into
relations with the republican leaders
and similar signs that can have only
one meaning, while the court party
displayed timidity, thus prompting ihe
belief that they would offer no se-
rious resistance to a revolution which
might therefore lie effected quietly
and possibly by parliamentary meth-
ods.
. .
The chief incident of the day was
the arrest here of General Otis, pro-
prietor of the Times, on the charge of
having criminally libeled Andrew Gal-
lagher, a Nan Francisco labor leader,
in the columns of the Times. He was
taken into custody while preparing to
attend the funeral of Wesley Heaves,
the young stenographer to whom he
dictated the articles on which the libel
was based.
The arresting officer accompanied
the general to the funeral and then
into a Justice court, where ball was
arranged. The ease will come up to-
morrow on a habeas corpus hearing.
Warrants for Otis.
The charges against General Otis
were contained in two warrants. They
were issued some time ago in San
Francisco, but as General Otis was in
Mexico representing the United States
as a special envoy to the centennial
celebration, they were not served.
Similar warrants, however, were serv-
ed on Harry Chandler, assistant gen-
eral manager of the TimeM, but he
was released under a hule-ns corpus
writ, Issued on the* ground that the
warrants were insufficient. The al-
leged libel was contained in an article
criticising not only Gallagher, but
Mayor McCarthy of San Francisco, and
o. A. Tveltmoe. following the visit of
Gallagher and Tveitmoe to this city
to confer with labor leaders regard-
ing strike conditions here.
Funds to be devoted to the relief of
families of the explosion victims re-
ceived a great addition today when
the American Bankers’ association,
which is holding Its annual conven-
tion here, added *5000 to the sums, al-
ready collected by the various news-
papers.
Labor People Would Assist.
The committee appointed by Presi-
dent Sullivan of the state federation
of labor, called on Mayor Alexander
today to ask permission to Join in the
Investigation now being made of the
explosion. The mayor refused to make
the federation appointees members of
the investigating Committee named
several days ago. The labor repre-
sentatives asked for a permit to go,
upon the Times' property and conduct
a separate investigation. This also
was refused, the mayor holding that
he had no authority to do other than
issue instructions to the police to let
the labor committee within the police
lines, stretched to hold back the
throngs which still surround the
v. rerkag'> (lay and night.
Several reports wore current today
that ihc mayor had asked the labor
.leaders of the city to call off the
strikes of the iron workers and brew-
ery employes, which have been in
progress here for some time. The
mayor dented this, blit said that if lo-
thought the labor leaders would look
he still buried in the
are believed to
ruins.
While the clue discovered today, on
Chief Galloway's word, is regarded us
an important one, the men of the po-
lice department engaged in the search
for tile criminals still maintain the
waiting attitude which they assumed
upon the receipt of the news that the
trail of the dynamiters had been
found In San Francisco.
THU BOAT IS FOUND
THAT CARRIED DYNAMITE
AttncluUtl Prrnn lHtpnUli.
Oakland. Calif.. Oct. 4—In the dis-
covery of the launch "Pastime" at a
boat house In the Oakland estuary,
the detectives who are working on the
case of the dynamiting of the Los
Angeles Times building are certain
that they have at last located the
mysterious craft known as the "Peer-
less" and believed to have been used
by the perpetrators of the crime to
carry the dynamite from the sales-
rooms of the powder company at
Giant, on September 23. The boat
was identified today by George Phil
lips, chief salesman of the powder
company, as identical with the one
used by the men who purchased the
explosive. Detective Wm. J. Burns,
who is conducting the investigation
Into the matter, visited the boat house
today in company with Captain of
Detectives Walter J. Peterson of the
local police department, who made
the find, and several detectives from
Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oak-
land.
'We have found the bout used by
the men we are after,” SUkl Burns to-
night. "By the by, we have gained
on the them and the boat in which
they carried on most of their early op
orations is very important."
Two pairs of common blue overalls
and a torn piece of a San Francisco
newspaper of September 24, were the
only things found in the boat.
Probably Ibe Peerless.
Nail and screw holes on the bow
of the boat are believed by the detec-
tives to be the marks of the letters
"Peerless." placed over "Pastime.”
Immediately after the visit to the
boat house detectives were sent in
automobiles to Alviso, a town about
ten miles down the bay toward Nan
June, where several persons stated
that they had seen a strange launch
in that vicinity on September 2<> in
which three men were riding and that
several boxes such as are used for
dynamite were found near the town.
>lcn Answer Description.
The three men who rented ihe
launch on September 20 answer the
description of the men who negotiat-
ed the deal for the sale of the dyna-
mite in evert particular. They stated
that they had come from New York

Los Angeles. Ort. 4.— Not only will
the local strike of tho metal trades
and brewery workers not be dt-daron
olf, but the St a to Federation of U»b..r
guaranteed moral and financial as-
sistance to tho Strikers, according to
a resolution adopted by the state con-
vention tonight.
Since the Times disaster the possl
hility of declaring the two strikes off
has been agitated and one of the local
newspapers which has been friendly
to the union cause, has advocated
such action.
But the delegates to the ataje con-
vention evidently are, not affected by
this movement, as the following mo-
tion offered by Andrew J. Gallagher
of Han Francisco, late today was
adopted:
“The convention declares its sense
that the strike he not declared off
hut that It continue until real Indus-
trial freedom- freedom for working
men and women to have a voice in
determining the conditions of their
labor—he established in Lon Angeles,
and that we guarantee to the strikers
even’ ounce of moral and financial
support that they may need

as a possible •'cholera carrier" 4
pending further investigation. *
Annoum em<nt of the foregoing
was made tonight by Ihietor A. 11. j

has been fighting to keep cholera out
of this country during the epidemic

garded as a possible ‘cholera carrier’
and In any event passengers who have
been exposed to the patients will be
transferred to Hoffman Island.
“On September 26, the steamer
Germania arrhed from Marseilles
and Naples. On boarding the steamer
I found an unusually good medical
report. The affidavit of the master
and surgeon showed no deaths in
transit, no ease* of infectious disease
and no suspicious case*; in fact there
was no ease of uri\ nature in the ship’s
hospital and a special report by the
surgeon showed that there were no
intestinal troubles. But for the last
three or four months, us an extreme
precaution, 1 have had removed from
all steamer* from Mediterranean
ports all steerage passenger* who
have applied for treatment during tho
.voyage I ft order that obscure or ir-
regular cases of cholera may be de-
tected.

“Six of the passengers »u the tier*

geon’s journal as having applied tor
treatment for minor troubles, but
were well on arrival, were removed to
Swinburne Island. Two days later
one of this group, a Greek was given
treatment. Twenty-four hours later
the patient was in a < audition «»f eol-
lupse and di« d In 12 hour*.
"Although the autopsy showed no

This Is .i practical demonstration
of what is known as a ‘cholera cur-
