PEARCE CLAIMS ID
 BE HO[T'S PARTNER
DECLARED TT WAS MUENTER THAT SENT WARNING TO LU-
 SlTANIA PASSENGERS.
WRITES THREATENING LETTER
Threat to Assassinate J. P. Morgan and Sir Cecil Sprine-Rice, British
 Ambassador.

New Orleans. A written threat to assissinate J. Pierpont Morgan, Si. Cecil Spring Rice, British ambassador to the United States, and to destroy by bombs British vessels clearing from American ports was received by a local newspaper from person who signed himself "Pearce"
 Pearce declared that the steamers Howth Head and Baron Napier. which cleared from here July and sailed from Port Ears the following day. probably never would be heard from again The Howth Head sailed for Dublin and Belfast via Norfolk with a merchandise cargo, while the Baron Napier had on board 967 mules for Monmouth, England. Neither vessel carried passengers, it is said but the Baron Napier has aboard large number of muleteers. many of whom are residents of this city.
 Government officials attempted to get in touch with the Baron Napier by wireless. The Howth Head is not equipped for radio communication Both vessels should now be some. where off the Florida or Georgia coast.
 Pearce declared that Frank Holt, or Enrich Muenter. was his partner He declared that it was Muenter wh ) warned Charles Frohman and others not to sail aboard the Lusitania.
 Scores of detectives secured the city in an effort to locate Pearce. while squads of British government agents and attaches of local shipping firms searched all British vessels in port in an effort to ascertain whether bombs had been concealed in their cargoes
 Pearce's letter, which was dated New Orleans, July 10, and which was typewriter, follows in part:
 Holt was my partner and I glor,- In the thought of his comradeship. We worked together ever since this curs- ed war began Holt is gone. but I am still here and I am going to carry on the work the two of us began.
 The statement that Holt intended to wreck libraries and other such public buildings is lie The capitol is the only building that we planned to wreck. and we partly succeeded in our plan. But what we did plan and what l am going to carry out. is the just idea to stop this country from contributing to the damnable, hellish, barbaric slaughter across the ocean. l may succeed in blowing up but one British ship leaving this port-I may succeed in destroying 10. but I an going to carry out this work and what. ever l achieve will be satisfactory to me. And then I will be ready for Morgan. And after get through with Morgan l will he ready to share my pals fate. I consider it glorious fate
 And Sir Cecil Spring Rice. Do you want to know who Muenter was after when he went to Glen Cove, Morgan? Partly. The real reason for going to Glen Cove was Sir Cecil Spring-Rice. We have trailed Spring Rice for weeks and we are going to get him yet"

pictures to which we have 50 long

now treated as a picture. The walls

furniture the background. while f

IN HOMICIDE RECORD
Insurance Publication Appeals
to Nation to Stop This Form
of Crime.

Out OF thirty American cities. Wash
ington. n. c.. stands fourteenth in
a record for homicides. compiled by
the Spectator. n New York insurance
publication. The table OF statistics
shows that in this city during the Period
from 1904 to 1918 there were 244 such
deaths, a ratio of rs to every 100000
population. For the year 1914, however,
there were only twenty-nine homicides.
Together with the statistical table,
the Spectator publishes an appeal TO
the nation to take immediate steps to
bring about a decrease in this form OF
crime which, In the thirty cities con-
sidered, has been responsible for 1881
deaths In nine years. The Spectator
says: "The outlook for an Improvement
is hopeless unless the public conscious
ness throughout the nation Is aroused
and q determined effort is made to pun
ish promptly and in the most drastic
and effective manner those who are the
worst offenders against society, in re-
sponse to clearer recognition OF the
moral iniquity Of murder in any and
every form and its most severe con-
dcmna ton on the part of the public. As
abundantly shown by the history of as
sassination. and attempts at the murder
of persons in conspicuous positions, no
