Detectives prepared to ply HolC "lIh
questions all night if necessary.
Thomas Tunney, captain OF the
bomb and anarchist squad Of New
York detectives, and William E Luy-
ster, the justice of the peace before
whom Holt was arraigned late to-
day, obtained the confession. To do
so, they intimated, they had to en-
ploy so-called third degree methods.
Three sticks of dynamite bound
together; some match heads placed
in a hollow of one of the sticks; a
bottle of sulphuric acid in the neck
of which was inserted a cork care
fully measured and of a kind previ-
ously tested such was the bomb
which Holt placed in the Senate
wing of the capitol at q o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Holt had ascer-
tained by tests that the acid would
eat its way through the corkin about
eight hours. Therefore he estimated
that the bomb would explode about
midnight. He waited at the union
station, several blocks from the cap
itol, he said, until he heard the ex-
plosion
Then he boarded a train for New
York. Arriving there, he lost little

Then they would let him sit down,
and surround him. They hurled
questions at him so rapidly that al
times his half audible replies were
interrupted by succeeding inquiries
Still he refused to answer the, ques.
tions that he did not want to.
They let him rest a few moments
and when he refused to answer pulled
him up and began once more the te-
dious promenade, talking to him all
/ the time.
After two hours of such treat
hent Holt told his story. He said he
left Jersey City yesterday morning,
arriving in Washington at noon, and
went to house on Delaware avenue
and C street, where he rented room.
Before taking the ferry from New
York to Jersey City he purchased a
supply of so-called trick matches.
Holt explained that they were the
kind that exploded or popped" af-
ter they were lighted. The popping
of the matches, he explained, fur
nished the conclusion which explod-
ed the dynamite.
Holt said that he left the house
where he rented a room, taking the
dynamite with him, and walked
around the capitol grounds. Then
he walked up the steps to the main
entrance of the capitol and strolled
through the corridors. He spent
about half an hour in the building,
he added, looking for a SPOT to place
his bomb where it's explosion would
not injure anyone or cause great
damage to the building.

ed away. He went back to his room,
he said, and to the union station.
He walked about the street for
while, then decided to write to the
newspapers and the President ex-
planning why he had set the bomb.
He did this, he said, before the
bomb exploded and mailed the let
ters during the early evening. AT
this point he refused to tell more.

plan to assassinate Mr. Morgan.
When they listened, in undisguised
amazement, to the story he told OF
the Washington bombs construction
they concluded that he possessed q
knowledge of explosives far beyond
that of the ordinary bomb-maker.
Under the third degree Holt talked
freely of his bomb-designing. Earlier
in the day he openly admitted he had

intention of remaining there until

State and federal governments

animals. This is the part of a report
made to Governor George H Hodges

best means of conserving public health
conditions in its territory. Further
more, it should inform people in it's

where.
THE sum expended by state and
federal governments on college exper-
mental stations is such a profitable
investment that it is constantly being
increased without a word of comment.

Catholic Church Fosters Big
Plan to Get Thousands
to this Country.
COMMERCIAL CLUBS MAY AID
Become Truck Farmers Down
in Oklahoma.

Muskogee, Ok, Dec. ia plan to
colonize fifty thousand Belgians in Ok
iahoma under the supervision of the
Catholic Church, and to build a rail-
road 172 miles long connecting Mus
kogee and Oklahoma City, along which
these people may conduct intensive
farming and find a market in the
largest two cities of the state, is rap
idly taking form. This plan was con-
ceived by several Oklahoma women,
who believe that there will be thou
sands of Belgian women without hus-
bands to support them when the war
is over. They wanted these Belgian
women and girls for servants
They were trying to solve the serv-
ant problem. From this grew the idea
of colonizing the Belgians on a large
scale and this has been taken up by
important commercial bodies in the
state
Need a Railway from Muskosee.
There is no direct line of railroad
connecting Muskogee with the state
capital and the country between for
the most part is sparsely settled. The
Belgian plan of living and farming re-
quires transportation. Therefore the
big plan of building a needed new
railroad and creating traffic to make
it pay by settling Belgians along the
right-of-way in villages and colonies,
with churches of their own and
schools in which their own language
is used.
Catholics Behind the Plan
There is in New York Belgian i'm
migration bureau under the direction
of the Catholic Church. The head of
this bureau is a divine who was for
merly in charge of a parish in Okla
homa. Bishop Theopile Meerschart,
who is in charge of this diocese, is a
native of Belgium. Father Joseph
Van Hu1se and others in charge of the
Catholic Church and schools in Mus
kogee are also natives of Belgium
Many Catholic priests in Oklahoma
are Belgians. Bishop Meerschart was
in Belgium when the war came on
and is fully alive to the crisis con
fronting his countrymen even when
| the war is over.
| The plans for Belgian colonization
and building a new railway have gone
! so far as to be laid before the Com
| mercial Club at Muskogee with re
| quest for approval.

MAHIN LAW STANDS
Missouri Pat 3 Found Guilty
of Bringing Liquor Into
Dry Territory.
ROAD MADE A HARD FIGHT
Took Cherokee County Jury Only
Short Time to Convict on
Twelve Counts.

The first test of the provision of
the Mahin Law forbidding railroads
to bring liquor into Kansas for unlaw-
full purposes resulted in a verdict of
guilty in Cherokee County District
Court After one hours deliberation
the jury returned a verdict of guilty
against the Missouri Pacific on twelve
counts. The fine is from 500 to $500
on each count. Each count was on
carload or fractional carload ship
ments- At the beginning of the trial,
Judge Sapp sustained an objection to
the introduction of evidence on thir-
teen counts charging the Missouri Pa
cific with unlawful delivery, but over
ruled it as to the twelve counts for
bringing liquor into dry territory for
unlawful use.
Attorneys for the road objected to
introduction of the Mahin Law reports
which the road filed with the county
clerk. These are duplicates of the
statements consignees sign that the
liquor is for lawful personal use. They
argued that to compel the road to file
these statements and then use them as
basis from criminal prosecution is an
from giving discriminating evidence
against ones self. Holding that the
statutes make all records of the coun-
ty clerks office admissible as evil
dence, governed in this matter, Judge
Sapp overruled the objection. The de-
Tense recorded an exception.
The railway attorneys said they
would appeal the case.

BORN AFTER ITS MOTHER DIED
An Interesting Medical Case Added to
New York's Record-Caesarian
Operation Was Performed.

New York, Dec. 16.-For the second
time in the medical annals of this
city, it is said, a baby was born yes
terday after the death of the mother.
The mother, 20 years old, was walk
ing along an uptown street in the aft
ernoon with her father when she col
lapsed. They were in front of a hos
pital and she was taken into the insti-
tuition unconscious. Despite the eff
forts of the doctors she died in ten
minutes as the result of dilation of the
heart.
A Caesarian operation was per-
formed then, but it consumed fifteen
minutes. The baby, a girl, was in
such condition that it was only after
she had been massaged for twelve min
utes that she showed signs of life.
After that the infant responded well
to treatment and in a short time was
out of danger. The child was normal
and weighed seven pounds.

Vain Longing and Aspirations, as
This Little Fable Shows, Are
Things of Moment

A fashionable woman, coming from
the opera, in the rosy nest of a limou-
sine, passed a group of laborers at
midnight. Machines, like terrible ami
mails. were burrowing into the earth
Steam was kissing, as il from the
mouths of a million serpents. Rocks
few in every direction Torchlights
danced There was the thunder of la
Dor. The night shift was in full
swing.
And the woman, glancing from the
window at a certain workman. for an
instant thought:
How / wish / had that brawny Ia
borer's strength and joy of life, How
envy him his power, his physical
perfection, the wonder of his man
hood, his freedom from the shackles
that bind me. He is his own master,
while / am a slave-the slave of a
man despisei''
At that moment the laborer paused
long enough by the deep chasm where
his engine rocked, to glance into the
motor as it sped by him And he
thought:
"Oh, to be like heri To know leis
sure and wealth and rest! To be free
from drudgery and toll, to come and
chains of debt and worry. and have
the days and nights stretch ahead OF
me like field of fiowers!"
But in another instant the motor
was gone. The torchlights fare(
brighter than ever. And each hat
| forgotten the other.-Judge.
