 That he had some means Of suicide at hand was indfcated by the follow ing noee found in his cell after his body was discovered and which is sup posed to have been directed to his wife although no name was found on lit The note read:

 ''I am in very poor health and my doctor has ordered me to a, quiet place in the country. I would like a little cottage of some sort where ] could have absolute rest and do some liter ary work. Who owns that small bun galow down there in the pines?" Ott told him that a MT. Arnold of Brooklyn owned the place and would rent it. So the stranger, now giving his name as Totten, engaged the bun galow for two weeks. He had with him suit case the day he talked to Ott.
 The few people who live thereabouEs naturally were interested in the new-F conner. They noticed that each day he would start out carrying his suit case in a, way that indicated 1t was emptX He would return with the bag seem ingly weighted down.

 When Constable McCahiny heard this story from Ott. he and Constable John Thompson of Oyster Bay drove over to Central Park last evening and exam ined the place.
 1 Their frst glance at the interior was sufficient to show them that the place had been used as a bomb factory, or ] for the making of bombs. About the floors were scattered thousands of match sticks from which the heads had been cut. There were also dozens l of full boxes of matches in $ complete condition. It will be remembered that that he used match heads in making the Capitol bomb.

It will be recalled that sliI- phuric acid, eating through the cork of a bottle and dripping down into the match heads, was what set of Holt,s bomb. according to his own state ment- There were several bo6tlss l lying about which apparently had con tained acid. There was a small bottle of benzine and also 8 small bottle ef pure alcohol
 More than that, there were hun dreds of corks. which had been shaw ed down into various sizes. shapes and degrees of thtnness.

NEW YORK PAPERS
Hears Himself Hailed as New
Leader of Americans Who
Stand For Peace

New York, June 25.-At the largest
meeting that has yet been held here
on any phase of the war opinion, a
meeting which filled Madison Square
to the limits of its capacity and pack
ed Madison avenue from curb to
curb from 23d to 27th street, with
persons who were forced to content
themselves with listening to outdoors
speakers on six stands, eX-Secretary
of State Bryan heard himself hailed

pie that stand for peace" last eve
ming, while President Wilson was said
to be misinformed as to the present
trend of American thought.
Mr.. Bryan appeared at the Madison
avenue entrance at 1926 and marched
down the aisle and to the high plat
form that had been constructed on
the north side of the building amid
tremendous applause. He sat in the
front row of seats and made a few
notes on an envelope, while the crowd
roared its approval.
In his speech the ex-Secretary OF
State first took up the criticism of
President Wilson, which he referred to
as follows:
'''I call your attention to the fact
that in this separation of the officers
