BOYD PARK MAKERS Tells Jurors That cutons Woulid Cool Hatreds Number of Dead Fixed at Judge Crowe Exe- - Thirty-thre- Seventeen negroes were Los Angeles. Revenge for the part he played in the prosecution of a group of dynamiters in the middle west several years ago was assigned by the police here as the 'probable motive for an attempt on the life of Oscar Lawler, former assistant attorney general of the United States. Mr. Lawler's home was practically destroyed by a bomb and subsequent fire here early Sunday and he and Mrs. Lawler both seriously burned and otherwise injured. According to Information gathered by the police, a man driving an automobile stopped in front of the Lawler residence at Newhampshire street and Wllshire boulevard, in an exclusive residential district. He dropped something, leaped into the car and rapidly drove away. An explosion followed almost immediately. The house burst into flames. Mr. Lawler, his wife and one child were trapped within. William lacy, an ironmaster, and Ed Pulford, who were driving past the house, hurriedly obtained a ladder and rescued Oscar Lawler, Jr., Mr. Lawler dragged his wife to a window and in the midst of flames, lowered her from an upper story until her feet touched an awning over a window to the ground. They were removed to the Sisters' hospital. Two others of the three Lawler children, Charles and Jane, were out of the city, visiting at the ranch of Dan Murphy, the oil producer at Pebbly Beach. The Lawler home was a large brick and frame structure in the fashionable Wllshire district in the west part of charged with rioting and murder in indictments voted by a special grand jury Investigating race riots, which, for five days last week, held the south side of Chicago In a reign of terror. While city, county and state authorities combined in seeking onuses which led to the rioting, in an endeavor to . tlx responsibility, 6000 state troops, 8000 policemen and 1000 deputies continued to patrol the negro quarter. Offlials reported the riot eone quiet end every effort being made to relieve the suffering negroes who have been marooned in the area and who have been unable to go to their work. A number of soup kitchens were opened and guards were furnished for negroes who wished to return to work. The police Monday obtained reports of threatening, anonymous letters received by negro families living on the edge of the negro district, in which, the negroes were warned to move within two days or their homes would be burned and bombed and the negroes killed. The coroner has fixed the number and the city of dead at thirty-thre- e health commissioner has found that 808 people Injured In the riots were treated In hospitals, that perhaps 400 or more who were injured In the riots never reported at hospitals. The state troops had little to do during Monday night in the riot zone, but much excitement was caused by persistent reports telephoned to headquarters of the Second regiment that a crowd of f00 men was gathering at West 59th street. When a company of troops reached the scene the crowd the city. vanished. Several thousand negroes who exreturn to work in the stockyards must wait until the unrest caused by the disturbances in the district has subsided. After announcing that the colored men would return to work, superintendents of nil the large packing plants decided that It would be prudent to hold the negroes at their homes for an Indefinite period. FOREST FIRES STILL RAGING. pected to REWARD Rains Aid Fighters Materially, However, In Some Districts. Spokane, Wash. Forest fire conditions in the Pend Oreille and Coeur d'Alene forests of northern Idaho, according to information received here, were worse Saturday, while in the St. Joe forest, where several small fires were burning, little change was noted. A heavy rain for the second consecutive night has virtually extinguished the Mission creek fire across the Canadian-Idaho line, which has destroyed 200,000,000 feet of timber. A fire on the south end of Pend Oreille lake threatened homesteadevs, and more men were sent to fight it. Four more lightning fires were reported from the Coeur d'Alene forest, and one fire set by lightnVng had spread over 200 to 300 acres. Three hundred men are fighting the fire on Bear creek, near Kellogg, Idaho. New crews were sent to the fire near Heron, Mont., which forced crews fighting It to withdraw. Rains relieved the seriousness of the forest fire situation in all parts of Western Montana. More firefighters are to be sent to the Selway and Nez Perce, Idaho, it was declared, in an effort to bring the fires there under control.

Two hundred and sevAmerican citizens have been killed in Mexico since the end of the regime of Porfirio Diaz on May 25, 1911, the senate was informed by Secretary Lansing in response to a resolution by Senator King, Democrat, Utah. Claims filed by American citizens asking damages because of Mexican depredations during the time have totaled 942, Mr. Lansing said. Regarding a request in the resolution that the secretary Inform the senate regarding the number of citizens of other countries who have been killed in Mexico, the secretary said this list was not complete, but that instruc tions had been issued to American diplomatic representatives in the southern republic asking thera to attempt to this information. Accompanying Mr. Lansing's letter was a table compiled by the state de partment, showing the nature and amount of the various claims filed. Claims for damages to property were 772, of which 118 specified no amount. The other claims totaled $22,835,592. Claims growing out of the killing of American citizens totaled seventy- stated no three, of which twenty-fiv- e amount of damages. The others, however, carried claims of $2,317,.'75. Elimination of President Carranza "with the least damage possible" is the only "solution of the Mexican problem," the house rules committee was told today by William Gates, an arch aeologist of Baltimore. Mr. Gates said Henry P. Fletcher, the American ambassador to Mexico, realized that Carranza was "Impossible," and added that the ambassador had uot obtained the real facts In the Mexican situation for President Wilenteen1 ob-ta- in son. Reiterating his charge that the Carranza government existed without constitutional right, Mr. Gates said the new constitution drafted since Carran za came into power had not been ratified by the number of states which Its terms provide shall ratify it. The witness also presented a document from military chieftains in the state of Onxaca calling upon other Mexican states to Join a movement opposing Carranza. DR.

Famine, wars and the white man's encroachments have killed off thousands. The one great achievement of these children of the woods Is their skillful use of poisons. In the hands of a more subtle people the poisoned arrow might have been an invincible weapon, but for the bushman it only delayed inevitable defeat. The bushman's arrow is a toy of light reed until he turn it into a certain death dealer by covering the tip with one of his favorite poisons.
