NEW FOUR MILLIO N DOLLAR
MOVIE CONCERN ORGANIZED

NEW YORK, July "a new
movement in the movie world
that will revolutionize even that
startling and sensational indus
try is about completed and the
plans of the organizersentertain
an extension of the moving pic
ture business on a scale hereto
fore not even dreamed of. H. E.
Aitken is the leader behind the
movement and associated with
him are D. w. Griffith, producer
of "The Birth of A Nation"
Thomas, H. Ince and Mack Sem
nett, the producer of the famous
funny movies. Sennett has or
ganized more comics on the
screen than any other one man
in theb usiness.
The plan is to book movie pro-
auctions in irregular chain of
theatres throughout the country,
the same as legitimate shows are
now seen. This will raise the
movies to the level o regular
theatrical plays and will assure
people in every section of the
country an opportunity of see
ing the best screen pictures that
are being made anywhere today.
The price of admission probably
will also be raised but the back
ers Of the new combination be-
lieve their productions will be
worth the new price scale.
Aiken has announced that a
big Broadway theatre has been
acquired and that others in every
large city in the country are I'M
der consideration. The first
showing of the new combina-
TONS plays will be in New York
and then will start on the round
Of other cities, the same as road
companies do.
It is predicted by Alike the new
departure will overshadow any
thing of the kind ever before at
tempted and that the weekly cost
of the films released will be near
s5,000.00O. Wall street is be-
hind the movement in a financial
way and large sums ofmoney will
be expended on branch offices in
London, Paris, Vienna, Petro-
grad, Rome, South America and
all big American cities, which
will also act as producing CEN
tiers.

GLEN COVE, II. l., July s.
John Pierpont Mongan who sue
eeeded his father as head Of the
great financial house which
bears his name was shot and
probably seriously wounded this
monring at his summer home
here. Shortly before nine o.
clock the wouldbe assassin aman
apparently of German descent
pushed by the butler with a
drawn revolver in each hand.
Going directly to the hoom
where Mr.. Morgan was, he open
ed fire after a brief exchange of
words. The first bullet to leave
the gun struck the financier in
the groin and came out thru his
hip.
The second shot went wild,
and before he could fire third
shot at Mr.. Morgan, the finan-
cier himself grappled with his
assailant and with the assist
ance Of his butler soon overpow-
cred him. The man struggled
desperately and succeeded once
in breaking away, but was re-
before he was able to
get out of the house. He was
then turned over to the Glen
Cove Police by attaches of the
Morgan household.
Rt police headquarters, the
prisoner refused all inquiries re-
lative to his name, home or oc-
Immediately the

a Sweating" in the hope that
he would become more talkative.
Shortly before noon servants
at the Morgan home declared
that two shots took effect, but
this is unconfrmed. Physicians
stated Immediately that they
would issue bulletin early this
But after the first
all they would say
was that Morgan did not seem
dangerously wounded.
When examined by the police,
the man found t. be carrying
two sticks of dynamite and a
bottle of nitroglycreine. He was
recongnized by several persons
who had seen at Glen Cove
Thursday inspecting the Nor
gan estate from an automobile.
The most adroit questioning
by Justice of Peace LANCASTER
failed to develop the identity of
the prisoner.
Wen asked his reason for at
such desperate act,he
said Morgan started the war in
Europe. He could have stopped
it any time he wished. I am

Rec ption Room of the Senate

OLICE SEARCHING FOR
WRITER OF WARNING
Considerable Excitement Prevails in the
Faiional Capital
Especial to The Progressively

WASHINGTON, D. c., July
3.-Aterriffic explosion of a
bomb in the capitol building here
last night completely wrecked
the Reception Room in the SEN
ate end of the National Capitol.
The fact that this explosion
was due to a bomb placed there
on purpose was conclusively
proved by a letter received by
the Washington Times. This
letter was dated July the first
and was mailed about an hour
and a half before the explosion
took place. Both postmark and
signature were plain. The let
ter was typewriter and signed
"R. Pearce. " 1t announced that
the explosion would occur and
closed with the significant re-
mark, "This is an exclamation
point in my plea peace" This
sentence of course stamps the
attempt to wreck the capitol as
the work Of some person whose
mind has been upset by the great
war.
Considerable excitement pre-
walls in the National Capitol, and
the police are making every eff
fort to apprehend the guilty
man. Activity of secret service
men around the whole city is al
so more noticeable now.

to the belief that the writer of
the letter must have spent some
time between the writing of the
letter and the placing Of the
bomb, evidently looking about
before deciding which building
to singleo out for his attempt,
deciding finally, however, to
choose the Senate wing of the
