NO N ABOARD LINERS
Frank Hollis Tale Of Impending De-
struetion TO Ocean Steamers Not
Verifed-Is Identified az
Muenter.

New York.-Fears for the safety O.
the Cunard liner Saxonia were dissi-
pated July 7, when a wireless message
saying no bombs were aboard was re-
ceived from her captain in answer 10
a warning sent out that Frank Holt
had asserted that this boat or the
American liner Philadelphia we're in
danger OF internal explosions.
A reply was also received from the
Philadelphia that no bombs were found
aboard her.
However, the tension caused by the
warning of the man who set off the
capitol bomb, then shot j. P. Morgan
and finally killed himself, has not beel
entirely relieved, because it was not
known that he had not left explosives
aboard other steamers.
The belief that Holt was Erich Mu-
enter, fugitive Harvard instructor and
alleged wife murderer, was strength
ened here by identification Of the dead
man as Muenter by three men who
knew Muenter. These men went to
the morgue at Mineola, accompanied
by detectives who spent a busy day
delving into Hollis past in an effort to
trace his possible accomplish or ac-
completes and to learn the where
abouts Of the dynamite owned by Holt
still u%naccounted for.

M0RGAN'S ASSAILANT DEAD
Mystery Surrounds the Death Of Frank
Holt, the FormelI Cornell In
structor, in Jail.

Minneola, N. Y.-Frank Holt, the
Cornell University professor, who
shot J. p. Morgan in his home near
Glen Cove, July 3, was found dead In
the jail Oh the night Of July 6.
While several of the Jail authori-
ties declare Holt killed himself by
climbing through the opening at the
top Of his cell door and then plunging
to the narrow court below, Hollis
keeper said he was positive that the
prisoner was killed In his own cell,
where he said he found the body.
There were many conflicting reports
as to the manner in which Holt met
his death, but 1t was definitely estab-
lished through DR.. Cleghorn, the Jail
physician, that Holt died of a tract.
ured skull. A persistent m pre-
walls he was shot from a point out
side the jail.
One of the startling developments
of the case was the discovery made
by the New York police. A trunk ION.
tanning 1874 sticks of dynamite, with
fuses attached, was found by the po-
lice in a house at No. 342 West Thirty
eighth street. The police said 1t was
sent there by Frank Holt, and that it
arrived July 3. The dynamite was
packed in sawdust.
The trunk was delivered by a New
York transfer company, and the bill
of lading was made out In the name
of Frank Holt. 1t was found ON the
top floor of a five-story building.
Besides the dynamite the trunk
contained a number of tin cans, a box
of blasting caps and powder, some
sulphuric acid and matches.

GERS on July s took charge of the pow.
erful wireless plant of the Atlantic
Communication Company at Sayville,

preliminary arrangements for the col.
lection of tolls and management of the

Washington. - Urgent suggestions
that the United States wait no longer
than another month before taking
some decisive action to restore law
and order In Mexico have been for
warded to the State Department by
several American consular officers in
the northern part Of the republic. All
these reports, it was learned, have

fully studied by State Department Of
ficials here.
Threatened famine and the inability
of the contending military factions to
restore peace and establish a govern
ment that could be recognized by the
United States are dwelt upon by the
consular officers. Conditions more
serious than ever troubled Mexico has
seen before are predicted unless the
United States lends a hand quickly.
Recognition of some element which
may set up a strong government with
the moral support Of the United States
Is the solution usually urged.
