Besides those in- dicted the state is reaching out to arrest other culpable persons and ome of these are said to be out of the staté at present. These persons are alleged to have had guilty knowledge of the con- spiracy to blow up the Times and to bave formed \the conspiracy ring\ us a member of the prosecution here phrased it, which blew up buildings at Oakland, Cal., Seattle, Wash., and other cities on the Pacific coast. The Federal Probe. ' lt ig consgiderei possible that the t probe of the federal government in- to the interstate conspiracies may cover the ground that will bring re- sults also desired by the authorities here, and the state and federal gov- ernments will reciprocate in the han- dling and securing of evidence. From Ortie McManigal 'the state has ob- tained possession of suck informa- tion concerning other explosions, and although for the last few days there have been rumors that the McNama- ras will make a full confession im- plicating co-eonspirators, it was said by Attorney Joseph Scott of the Mc- Namard defense that District Attor- ney Fredericks did not demand a full confession when the arrangement \was made for them to plead guilty and obtain clemeney.

Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 4.-The principal plant of the United States Express company for the service of New York City and the vicinity was swept by fire early today and practi- cally the whole delivery equipment, cons'sting of 400 horses and several hundred wagons, was destroyed. The plant occupied nearly a whole block i bounded by Eighth and Henderson : streets and Pavonta avenue. It comprised the company's stables and its offices and store rooms. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000. Fred Ockray, the night watchman, who gave the alarm, could not be found after the flames subsided and he probably lost his life trying to res- | fendants have until four o'clock this cue some of the horses. * The fire started in the manure pit and soon gained such headway that five alarms were rung and at one time it was thought that help would be needed from New York. During the day more than a thousand men and women are employed in building but when the fire broke out only fifteen stablemen were there to care for the horses. These succeed- ed in releasing a few of the animals but were soon driven out by the dense smoke. The flames were soon roaring to the roof and ignited several wooden tenements across the street. The firemen had the building well sur- caught in the falling masonary and severely injured. The fire was not under control un- til about five o'clock and it burnei fiercely during the rest of the morn- ing. The company. lost all its and records kept since the business was established.
