M|NNEHAAA BLAZE
STARTED BY BOMB
ATLANTIC LINER REACHES HALL
FAX AFTER FIGHTING FLAMES
TWO DAYS AND NIGHTS.
BELIEVE HOLT RESPONSIBLE
Man, Who Predicted Some Vessel
Would Be Destroyed July 7,
Placed Explosive Aboard.

Halifax, July IL. - A bomb placed
aboard the Atlantic transport liner
Minnehaha, probably while she lay at
her pier in New York, caused the eX-
ploson and fire at sea, in the opinion
OF the officers of the steamer which
has put in here for examination.
The explosion occurred in No. hold
and was of terrific force, shaking the
vessel from stem to stern. Those Of
the crew who were forward at the
time were fairly stunned by the shock,
and two sailors were hurled bodily into
the air. Flames followed quickly and
for two days and two nights the crew
battled heroically to save the ship.
Put Blame on Holt.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the officers that Erich Muenter, alias
Frank Holt, or confederates, were re-
sponsible for the explosion which oc-
Cured at 4 :15 o'clock on the afternoon
of July Z, the date upon which Muen-
ter predicted that some vessel, of the
name of which he appeared uncertain,
would be DESTROYED.
Muenter's plans were frustrated by
the fact that his weapon of destruc-
ton was placed with miscellaneous
freight forward, and so was separated
by stout bulkheads, from an enormous
cargo Of ammunition, which, with
other in1ammable munitions of war
intended for the allies, filled the after
holds.
Sailors Fight Fire.
While the sailors fought the fire.
Captain Claret headed his ship for
Halifax and brought her safely through
a gale and a fog to an anchorage in
the lower harbor here at / o'clock
in the afternoon. BY that time the
flames had eaten their way into No. 4
hold, but late in the afternoon it was
announced they had been eXtinguished.
The theory of spontaneous cOmbus-
ton was never entertained, as the eX-
plosion was followed by the issuances
from the matches Of suffocating fumes,
which seriously hampered the crew in
their fight and which the officers in
sisted had been let loose by some in
fernal instrument.
Thrilling stories were told by the
100 men who made up the crew of the
freighter.

Dent marry until you see THE Es-
cape is the moral tag of the new ire
mende1s feature films which VIM be
shown at Ye. Liberty 'theater COM
mencfng next Monday night and con-
tinuing all the week. And that this
is good advice cannot be gainsaid.
Every man and woman that contem-
plates 1atrimony should be interested
in the unfolding of the incidents and
the plot of this wonderful and ell
thralling life history as set forth in
the films under the master craftsman
ship of d. w. Griffith. The eugenieal
theory of marriage selection, that the
contracting parties be healthy, nor
NAL human beings, in order that the
progeny be healthy, normal humans
is the lesson of the film.
. 1t is a drama of so unusual and pow.
erful action as to hold one spellbound.
A human document is clearly and de-
cisiyely set forth, The Escape pre-
SCENTS the story Of two sisters and is
watched in breathless interest by the
audience, as it unfolds itself in logi-
cal and compelling sequence. The
Escape" is a record breaker. for at
tendance wherever shown, which
proves how, vitality the people have
been reached by these powerful films

and for a time this new tie unites hus-
band and wife more closely, but soon
'Lorimer becomes again entangled in
the wiles of the other woman.
How the other woman is justly pun
ished, the cruel husband humbled and
mother and child at last united is dra-
matically unfolded in the unusually
artistic development OF this powerful
photo-play. '--..--.-
The other picture feature will be
the twentieth episode in "The Perils

Besides these two numbers there
will be a new cabaret bill. 1t will be
new throughout with the exception of
"Since Diaphanous Diana Is In Town"
sung by Miss Myers and illustrated in
q gilded frame by Miss Nellie Clifford,
attired in diaphanous, jewel covered
