my plan was to get hold of Mrs.
Morgan and the Morgan children,
and take them into an upstairs room
and then send Mr.. Morgan out to see
his influential friends to stop the ex-
portation of ammunition from this
country.
II planned to take the dynamite in
the room with me and cut hole in
the door and have the food showed in
through 1t. I planned to keep them
there until Mr.. Morgan returned and
gave me his promise that the expor-
tation of war munitions would stop.
Unless he stopped it, would tell him
of my intention to kill Mrs. Morgan

Tells of Capitol Explosion.
Three sticks of dynamite bound to-
gether, some match heads placed in
a hollow of one of the sticks which
Holt had scooped out with his PEN
knife; bottle of sulphuric acid in
the neck of which there was insert
ed cork carefully measured and Of
kind previously tested-such was
the bomb which Holt placed in the
senate wing of the capitol at 4 O'Clock
Friday afternoon.
Holt had ascertained by tests that
the acid would eat it's way through
the cork in about eight hours. There
fore. he estimated that the bomb
would explode about midnight. He
wanted to make certain. he said, that
1t would explode, SO he took stroll
about Washington and early in the
evening went to the union station, q
few blocks from the capitol, and
waited there until he heard the ex-
plosion.
Then he took train to New York.
Arriving there he lost no time in
taking another train for Glen Cove.
Several sticks Of the dynamite. left
over from the making of the WASH
ington bomb, were in his suit case
and these he took with him to Glen
Cove.

that man proposed. but God disposed,
and bidding her to be brave. In a

positive that Holt and Eric Muenter.
q former instructor at Harvard who
mysteriously disappeared after his
wife had died under peculiar circum-

in this belief by several who knew

Morgans We're at Breakfast.
Holt attempted to assassinate Nor
gan at the nnancier's summer home at
East Isle. near Glen Cove, N. Y, last
Saturday. According to an authors
tative statement of the affair. Holt
called at the Morgan home at 8
o'clock while Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan
were at breakfast. Fiske, the butler,
answered Hollis ring at the door.
Holt handed the butler his card. tell
ing him to inform Mr.. Morgan it was
from friend. AS the butler started
back through the hallway Holt slipped
q pistol from his pocket and pressed
1t against the buffers stomach. The
butler attempted to warn the Morgans
by telling him to go upstairs. They
did, but finding nothing amiss there
they statred bask. using the front
stairway. and walked almost into the
asssss,n's arms. Mrs. Morgan saw
him first, screamed and drew back.
Holt turned and fred before Mr..
Morgan could seize him. Fiske, no
longer menaced by the pistol. grabbed
the assassin's right hand.
Mr.. Morgan, with two bullet
wounds in his body, threw himself
on his assailant and the three men
fell on the floor.
British Envoy . Guest.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, British am
bassador to the United States. an
overnight guest at the Morgan home,
was with Mr.. and Mrs. lslorgan at
the breakfast table when Holt en-
tered the house.
The struggle on the floor was
short. The pistol was torn from
Hollis fingers and he was beaten by
the butler and other servants who
came running at the sound Of the
shouts.
The Glen Cove police and a physi-
clan were summoned and Holt was
placed in one of the Morgan automo-
biles and hurried to the Jail at Glen
Cove.
Mr.. Morgan walked, calmly and
collectedly, feeling he said, that he
had been shot, but experiencing no
sensation of weakness, up the stairs
and went to the telephone. He called
up the doctor and afterward his
Office in New York City and told the
story of the shooting, asserting that
he did not regard his wounds as Sc
rious. Then he went to his bed and
lay down, awaiting the doctor.
Following his arrest, Holt made
several statements as to the reasons
which prompted his act, at the same
time admitting he had set of the
bomb in the national capital the pre-.
vious night. In one statement Holt
said:
Wanted Embargo ON Munitions.
my motive in coming here was to
try to force Mr.. Morgan to use hff
influence with the manufacturers OF
munitions in the United States and

Would Insure Oil Field Test.

Plans are on foot by some Tacoma
men for the formation Of $4,000
syndicate to let contracts to compe-
tent drilling concerns to drill for oil
to a depth of $500 feet II necessary
in both the Olympia-Tenino and the
Quinault fields, to prove whether
there is oil in commercial quantities
in either field, according to word re-
ceived in Olympia this week. They
believe in the existence of oil In these
fields and think that. by compelling
a contractor to assume all respon-
sibility for the condition Of the well
he drills, they can prove up the field.
During Olympia's celebration of
the Fourth at Priest Point park Mon
day afternoon, w. G. Brown, city
mail carrier. had his pockets picked
of about $50 in cash and several val
liable papers, and c. c. Uhler discov-

Changes in the Trial Courts. Jury
Trials and the Supreme Courts
Are Proposed Under the
RESOLUTIONS.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, March 8.
Oklahoma's court reform measures
as passed by the legislature are in
the form of joint resolutions pro-
yiding for submission to the people
of constitutional amendments. The
amendments viii be submitted by
Governor Williams at the first gener-
al election to be held in this state
This will probably he the primary
election in the summer of 1916. The
governor will not call a special cleo
ton for these measures. ii some
special election should become i'm
perative before the 1916 primary
election, it is probable that the
amendments would be submitted to
the people at that time,
These three amendments reform
the trial courts. the supreme court
and the jury system. They were all
written either by Governor Williams
or at his suggestion.

1t is the belief of the majority of

be irreparably hurt. A review OF
the accomplishments of Mr.. Eddins'

tail in the nominating speech of Mr..
