New Orleans.-A written threat to
assassinate J. Pierpont Morgan, Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, British ambassador
to the United States, and to destroy
by bombs British vessels clearing from
American ports, was received July IL
by a local newspaper from a person
who signed himself as "Pearce."
Pearce declared that he had come
to New Orleans to complete plans for
the destruction of British mule trans
ports sailing from this port and said
the steamers Howth Head and Baron
Napier, which cleared from here July
8 and sailed from Port Eads the fol
lowing day, probably never would be
heard from again. The Howth Head
sailed for Dublin and Belfast via Nor
folk for coal, with a general merchan-
disc cargo, while the Baron Napier
had on board 967 mules for Avon
mouth, England, direct. Neither YES
sci carried passengers, it is said, but
the Baron Napier had aboard a large
number of muleteers, many of whom
are residents of this city.

notified of Pearce's threats, immedi-
ately attempted to get in touch with
the Baron Napier by wireless. The
Howth Head is not equipped for radio
communication.
Erich Muenter, who several days
ago shot and wounded Mr.. Morgan,
and who later killed himself, had been
working with Pearce in an effort to
prevent the United States from taking
any part in the European conflict, ever
since the war began, Pearce wrote.
Scores of detectives are securing
the city in an effort to locate Pearce.
while squads of British government
agents and attaches Of local shipping
firms were searching all British YES
sells in port in an effort to ascertain
whether bombs had been concealed in
their cargoes.
