that he had changed his position so
that he was facing the door, but ap-

knees down the corridor to check the
disturbance so that Holt might sleep.
He looked into the other corridor and
found there was nothing there. AS he

New York city contained 134 sticks (67
pounds) out of 1000 sticks of dyna-
mite known to have been shipped to
and received by Holt under the alias
of c. Hendricks recently. Six sticks
were used. 1t seemed established to-
day, by Holt when he went to Wash
ington. Three of these six sticks of
dynamite were used. according TO
Hclt's statement, in making the bomb
placed in the Capitol; the other three
sticks were found in a suitcase and on
the lawn of j. p. Morgan's estate.
This would leave sixty sticks, or
thirty pounds, of the explosive unac-
counted for. Although Holt as quoted
as saying that he had used these sixty
sticks in his experiments in the house
he rented at Central Park. Long
Island, this statement was not be-
lieved. Nor did the condition of the
premises at Central Park indicate that
explosives had been used. although it
was believed possible that Holt might
have destroyed several sticks in his
experiments there.

SCHMIDT TELLS ABOUT
THE BREAD SITUATION
Schmidt's Bread Bakery.
Eighteenth and Holly Streets.


To the Editor OF the Telegraph
Dear Sir: Referring to the article
in this mornings Patriot in reference
to the weight OF, bread, naturally loaves
of bread made in Harrisburg are
lighter now than they We're a year ago.
As rule high grade flour only is. used
by the Harrisburg bakeries. The lower
grade of flour is seldom used by any
bakery in Harrisburg.
A year ago. or rather before the war.
high grade flour sold at about s. a bar
rel Since then it has been raised TO
as high as 50 barrel, and at the pres
ent time it is somewhat lower, averag-
ing about $3.50 a barrel.
The weight of our bread at the pres
ent time averages from twelve to thir-
ten ounces for the wrapped loaf of
bread. The unwrapped bread will aver
of a cent TO wrap a loaf of bread. Bread
which is wrapped is made a trifle
smaller. TO offset this cost. Early last
winter there were agitations about rails
ing the price of bread from FIVE to six
cents loaf; in fact, quite a few baker
les in other towns really did raise the
of Harrisburg stuck to the old price.
which was five cents, and gave the
public fair size loaf and a loaf of good
Harrisburg had -four booked ahead and
for that reason they could give little
larger loaf. for the time being. but
they naturally had to go into the mar
ket and buy flour at the high price.
Bread bakers in other cities sur
rounding Harrisburg, Philadelphia in
cluded, have made the loaves very much
smaller and the quality of the bread
is not as good as that baked in Har-
risburs. A certain baker from Phila-
delphia sends bread to Harrisburg,
which hardly ever weighs more than
twelve ounces. This can be proven.
Bread which is baked in Harrisburg
is being sent to all parts of Pennsyl-
vania. some parts of Maryland, parts
of Virginia and West Virginia, Della
ware and New Jersey, which seems to
indicate that Harrisburg bakeries are
giving the people all in quality and size
of loaves that can be expected for the
money.
On the other hand, there is very little
bread shipped from other cities to the
surrounding towns of Harrisburg. II
is fact, and can be proven. that there
are several bakeries in Harrisburg and
vicinity that have made no money and
can even show a deficiency for the last
two or three months. Hence, IL would
seem as though the bakeries of Harris
burg are giving just as much bread
considering the quality, as they can
for the price.
Very truly yours,

Detectives Searching
For Missing Dynamite
b. Assoeiatc9 Prkss

Glen Glove, y. Y. July THE au-
thorities of Nassau county Joined the
New York city detectives to-day in a
painstaking search for more than
twenty-five pounds of dynamite known
TO have been delivered to and unac-
counted for by Frank Holt, the assail-
ant of ]. P. Morgan and the man who
set the bomb in the United States
Capitol last Friday, who committed
suicide during the night by jumping
twenty feet from an iron bar on the
side of his cell to the floor.
In the belief that the missing explo-
sive might have been placed aboard a
steamship leaving this port prior to
last Saturday, a warning by wireless
was spread over the Atlantic during
the night by plants along the eastern
seaboard.
The trunk found last night in a

Holt Leaped From Top
of Cell Door to Death
Ry .4tsactc.c6 Prrss


New York, July Frank Holt,
the man who shot ]. P. Morgan, lay
dead to-day in an undertakers estab-
hshment at Hampstead, Long Island,
and the New York police had in their
possession his trunk, containing 1874
haf-pound sticks of dynamite with
which they believe he planned to
wreck public buildings in New York
and other cities.
An autopsy early to-day established
the fact that Holt committed suicide
by leaping from the top of his cell
door in the Mineola, Long Island Jail
while the keepers back was turned
last night.
Walter R. Jones. the Mineola coro-
ner, issued a statement after an autop-
sy had been performed by the prison
physician. He said:
Holt came to his death by a COM
pound fracture of the skull and cere-
bral hemorrhage caused by a fall"
Holts suicide followed closely upon
the discovery of evidence tending TO
confirm the suspicion that he was
Erich Muenter, the former Harvard
instructor who was accused of poison
ing his wife in 1905. This was the
day set fer Holt's preliminary arraign-
ment on the charge of shooting Mr..
Morgan.
Investigation was in progress to-
day to ascertain whether his suicide
was due to negligence of any Jail off,
cial. The shipment TO New York Of
Holt's trunk containing dynamite
enough to destroy city block was also
the subject of inquiry. Police officials
inspected the cottage at Central Park,
Long Island, where Holt had spent
two weeks conducting experiments in
the manufacture of Internal machines
and in target practice with a revolver.
II was said to-day that Holt had told
a detective that he had put fifty
pounds of dynamite on board a vessel
which had since left New York. Wire
