been opened in New York. What these
leads We're was not revealed, but a
detective from police headquarters was
posted at the Jail here and communica-
ted from time to time with New York.
After talking over the telephone the
detective went several times to Hollis
cell and questioned him for few
minutes. Lenthy questioning was i'm
possible because of Hollis condition.
The secret service operators who had
expected to continue their examination
of Holt today abandoned the plan when
his condition became Known. Because
of this he was above to spend the day
in comparative peace.
Holt appeared SO d~ispondent, that his
| keepers, fearing that Notwithstanding
his weakness he might attempt to in
jure himself, took away his belt.
Holt admitted that he set off the
bomb which Friday night wrecked the
senate reception room in the American
capitol building. He said he did it as a
protest to the export Of arms M am
munition to the allies.
Neither Mr.. Morgan nor members of
his family We're told of the startling
statement made by Holt to Commits
! sioner Woods. The Morgan home is
closely guarded and all suspicious look
ing persons were kept at a distance.
Every incoming train was watched.
Check Up Movements.
Holt, who had spent a sleepless night
in his cell at the Mineola jail, appeared
detected. He spent most of his time
writing letters. He was visited by
Chief Flynn, of the secret service, who
wanted to learn more about his move
ments in Washington prior to setting
the bomb which exploded in the United
States capitol.
To Commissioner Woods Holt told
briefly how he planned to hold as
hostages Mrs. Morgan n the Morgan
children.
my plan" said Holt, was to get
hold of Mrs. Morgan and the Morgan
children and take them into an upstairs
room and then e Mr.. Morgan out tc
see his Influential friends to stop the
expectation of munitions from this
country.

FRENCH ADMIT LOSS OF
TRENCHES RECENTLY TAKEN

Paris, July 6.-The French war office
statement today says:
In the region to the north of Arras
two attempts at attack on the part OF
the enemy, preceded each by a violent
bombardment, were checked by us Az
about 10 o'clock last night. One was
directed particularly against our posi-
lions in front Of Souchez. The Germans
came out several different times from
their trenches, armed with grenades
and bombs. We, however. compelled
them to withdraw, leaving many dead
on the ground. The other took place
at the Labyrinth but it was at once
stopped by our fire. Yesterday after
noon n in the evening the Germans
assumed the offensive along a front OF
about three miles, stretching from
Fey-En-Haye to the Moselle. To the
east of Fey-En-Haye and in the west
ern section of the forest of Let Pretre.
along a front of about two-thirds' of a
mile, they were successful, after a
heavy bombardment, in again taking a
footing in their old lines recently taken
by us. But they found it impossible
to move beyond these lines.
Further to the east, on a line run
ming from La Croix- Des-Carmee to the
village Of Rieht, on the Moselle, the
Germans failed in an attack and they
suffered very heavy losses.
There is nothing Of Importance to re-
port from the rest of the front.

LABOR BODY MEETS TO TALK
BLDG. TRADES TROUBLES
National labor officials met with
representatives of warning Chicago
building trades factions today to dis
cuss the row and it's causes. The
meeting was held at the Morrison no
tel.
The prediction is freely made that
nothing will come of the meetings,
that the hearings will leave the mat
ter as much in the air as ever.
The attitude of Samuel GOmpers,
pres A. F. of L., is not very pleasing
to the unions fighting Simon O'Don-
nell and the agreement. Gompers, in
a recent telegram to the G. F. of L.,
bitterly damned the joint agreement
and it was thought that he would be
as expressive today. Friends Of
Gompers say he is doing right in
Withholding immediate judgment I'M
til he can hear and digest every point.
National officers were today acked
by the opponents to the agreement to
interpret the A. F. of L. law which
prohibits building trades councils
from entering into an agreement with
contractors. They feel confident the
decision can be given in no way ex-
cept against Simon O'Donnell's plans.
No answer was given. This refusal
to at once meet this issue was dis
pleasing to the agreement opponents.
They feel that the law here supports
them so strongly as to settle every
argument.
The conference may continue sew
eral days. 1t is not the intention that
any decision shall be given or any
agreement made in these meetings.
In fact both sides have openly an
nounced they would be bound by no
action taken at them.
What is your stand regarding the
agreements" A Day Book reporter
put this question to GOmDers before

was the only response.

A "sUB" MARINE. BY COL. HARVEY

troit Music Trades association,
came TO Detroit as agent for piano
firms that have no Detroit agent;
had a consignment Of pianos
shipped to the Leonard Reliable
Storage warehouse, and advertised
them as pianos left in storage, or
sent for storage by the piano COM
panies to which they had been
turned back by people who had not
paid for them. This, according to
Mr.. Conlon, was merely a ruse to
escape the payment of the license,
and to compete with Detroit deal
ers by Misrepresentation.
Ogden. Mr.. Conlon says, was able
to show Detective Plies a contract
for the sale OF the pianos, but Plies,
ignoring It, told Ogden that he knew
that action had been taken against
him In Grand Rapids for a similar
sale which he conducted there, and
that he would be accused of violat-
ing the law in Detroit unless he
brought his sale to an end immedi.
ately. The next time Detective
Plies visited the warehouse, the
sale had been terminated, and Og.
den had gone.
The piano men OF Detroit believed
at first that Ogden could be pro.
ceeded against for alleged violation
of the state advertising law. but II
was found that the itinerant mer-
chant act covered the ground Just
as completely.

Judge Merely Orders

Members Of the council committee
on liquor regulation are trying hard
to convince themselves that the
court order issued by Judge Hally
in the case of Frank Weiss, who

liquor licenses. The court order Is
plain enough, and Corporation Coun-
sci Dingeman has personally inform
ed each member Of the committee at
least a half dozen times that all they
have to do in obedience to the order
of the court is to take action on
Weiss application by either grant
ing or denying the prayer Of the pet-
toner.

Granting IL new licenses at this
