FATHER-IS-LAW NEVER
SUSPECTED SUCH A THING

DALLAS, TEX, July 40. F.. Sensa-
baugh, of Dallas. whose daughter mar
ried Frank Holt in 1910. hearing to-
night that Holt was thought to be
Erich Muenter. exclaimed:
Il can't believe it. 1t is so unreal
sonable compared with anything that
! know of Mr.. Holt. 1 never have even
heard or suspected anything OF the
sort"
Mr. Sensabaugh said Holt had
claimed to be a native of Wisconsin.
He said he had never heard that Holt
attended Texas Agricultural and Me-
chanical College. His daughter, he
said, was a classmate of Holt at the
Polytechnic College at Fort Worth.
Tex. Hollis father-in-law said he had
received no word from Holt to confirm
in his own mind the suspicion that the
man under arrest for the Morgan
shooting is his son-in-law.

MORGAN FIRM HANDLES
HUGE WAR CONTRACTS
More Than $500, 900, 900 Worth for
Foreign Governments Since
War Began.
BRITISH AND FRENCH AGENT
About One-Half Total Amount Con-
tracted For Represents Ammuni-

Small Part Has Been Forwarded.

NEW YORK, July 4.-In explanation
OF the part j. p. Morgan * Co has
taken in the furnishing of war NUM-
tons and supplies for the European
nations at war. 1t was stated authori-
tatively here tonight that the irm had
handled more than $500, 900 worth
Of contracts for the account of foreign
governments since the war began
OF this amount about 100000. 900
worth has been purchased for the
British since the Morgan firm was
appointed agents for Great Britain in
this country. and s50.Oo0oon worth for
the French contracted for within the
last month, the Morgan firm having
been appointed BY the French govern
ment TO act in the same capacity as
il does for the British government.
About onehalf of the total amount
contracted for in this country. repre-
sents contracts for ammunition, shells,
powder and the like. hut of the whole
amount OF ammunition contracted for
only small part, it was stated, had
been forwarded to the purchasers The
remainder is being manufactured.

II was explained that of the total

ton with the French offensive in the
Arras region, though the changes show
little on the map, gains Of very posi-
tive tactical value for the future were
made.
IL The opinion of lay observer
counts for anything, the British army
Is far from making anything like its
maximum effort vet.
The anger of the officers and men at
the German gas attacks has not passed
Tommy Atkins is always seen in the
new trenches with 4 rcspirator slung
in bag a his side. He rcsents this
style Of lighting, however.
If bitter personal feeling and n de-
sire to pay back means morale. then
the German use OF gas has been in
valuable TO the morale of the British
army.
In the trenches these days, at least,
one hears no talk Of any peace which
is no, gained by forcing Germany to
her knees.

WASHINGTON. July 4-The Capito1
police had another brief scare TO-DAY
when they discovered a susnicious
character roaming through the great
building and carefully Investigating the
crypt in the sub-basement under the
exact center of the great dome. A,
the building is always closed on Sun
days, except to those having business
within. the man was promptly appre
hended. but not until after he had
shown fight and endeavored to make
his escape BY flight.
Giving his name as Whallen Daniel
aged siNty-two, and claiming his home
mere, he declared he was a prince that
this was his principalty. and the Capi-
tol his official seat. He said the build
ing belonged to him and he was simply
looking II over TO sec that it had not
been damaged by the bomb The man
was taken to police Headquarters,
where he proved to be an old soldier
regarded as harmless. He had nothing
IN the way of a weapon, not even a
pocket-knift. but he gave the police
on duty in the Capitol n bad quarter
OF an hour, for regardless of his age
and condition, he put up a stubborn
fight against arrest. He was sent to
Washington Asylum for examination.
Later II was discovered that he lives
at 1901 Third Street, Southeast, with
relatives.

FIND NO TRACE OF HOLT
IN WASHINGTON HOTEL, g

WASHINGTON, July 4.-AIore than
200 hotels and lodging houses have been
searched by the Washington police in
fruitless effort to establish where
Frank Holt. the would-be assassin OF
). p. Morgan. stopped when he came to
Washington on Friday to blow up the
Senate reception room at the Capitol.
Detectives with photographs of Mr.
Morsan's assailant, visited to-day every
place In the neighborhood OF the Capt.
toi and the Union Station where a room
might be rented. without finding any
one who would admit entertaining a
man of the description. Particular at
tention was given to large lodging
house where Holt said he had a room,
and the officers were practically con-
WINGED that is the place, although the
proprietor declares he does not remem-

revolver and number of letters and

Holt, the former Cornell instructor,
who shot J. T.. Morgan, were found in
Holts trunk in the attic OF Sage Cot
tage or the Cornell campus to-day by
Detective Sergeant Bernard a. Ditsch
OF New York, who arrived here this
morning to look up Hollis history con-
corning his life in this city.
Sergeant Ditsch spent the day inter
viewing parties who lived near Hol,
and others who were acquainted with
him He took down their statements,
and in addition TO the revolver and let
ters he discovered. the local police who
had searched Hoits rooms, last nigh,
turned over n number of letters. clip
pings from papers and other docu-
mcnts.
Sergeant Di,sch's investigation. he
said. failed TO reveal any connection
between Holt and any German society
or association.
Sergeant Ditschs investigation con-
lrmed the press reports that Holt was
a quiet, reticcnt man. perhaps a crank
on certain subjects. but sane and rea-
sonablc. He discovered Holt was not
so much q pro German as an antiwar
advocate. and he thinks there is good
ground for belief that Hollis strong
religious opinions inspired hatred
for war and produced the idea that
the war would be stopped if the eX-
portation OF ammunition We're pro.
hibted.
From Harold Dean Phillips and
Charles Harvey Hadlcy, who roomed on
the same floor with Holt in Sage Cot
taGe, Ditsch learned that Holt argued
more earnestly about religious ques-
tons than he did about the war. From
them he learned that Hollis war talk
was not pro-German. but against the
whole war itself.
Ditsch believes that ovcrworli had
good deal to do with Hollis conduct
His investigation failed to reveal any
family troubles or any difficulty in con-
nection with his official position. On
the contrary, Holt was a popular and
successful teacher.
