New York, July - Authorities
feared today that some steamship now
en- route to England may have secreted
IN its hold bomb containing fifty
pounds of dynamite, placed there by
Frank Holt, who shot j. p. Morgan,
placed a bomb in the capitol at Wash.
ington, and ended his life in his cell in
the Mineola Jail last night.
II was learned today that before
Holt shot Morgan he sent letter to
the authorities declaring vessel which
sailed from New York July would be
blown up today.
The utmost secrecy was observed re-.
garding this letter, but it is known that
the authorities here and in Washing
ton were informed of the dynamite sup.
posed TO be on one of the steamers
which sailed last week.
Holt had been constantly questioned
as TO the disposition he had made Of
dynamite he was known TO have had
m his possession, besides that found IN
the suit case he carried The efforts
Of the police along this line, it is now
believed, were prompted by the hope Of
learning on what vessel he placed the
bomb that the ship might be warned.
Four steamers sailed from New York
saturday for Europe. They were the
Philadelphia Of the American line;
'hicago, Of the French line; SaXouia,
.unard line and Kristianiafjori of the
rwegian.American
Whether the threat Of Holt that one
OF these vessels would be blown up is
an empty one, the police 40 not know.
Holt ended his life In the Jail az
Nincoh last night by a leap Of % feet
from the top Of his cell. Landing upon
The stone tagging beneath the cell
tier, his head was crushed and mutil-
atel, and the bones OF his body broken.
Because Of the mutilation Of the
prisoners coun,enance, It is now un.
hkely that the mystery of whether Holt
vas in reality Professor Erich Muenter,
ihe missing Harvard professor, wanted
vn murder charge will ever De cleared.
Muouter 8 old friends who are now en-
route 10 Long Island will not be able to
identify the body held by the Nassau
county Officials. It is feared Those
who knew Muentcr and saw Holt yes.
i'rhay declared they could not say post

Rough on the Dos.--Miss Carlson
was one of the young women who are
determined to always have their own
way in the face Of all obstacles. When
the conductor came along to take up
the tickets and found her seated with
a dog in her lap, he said:
Madam, l am very sorry, but you
can't have your dog in this car. It's
against the rules"
IT shall hold him in my lap all the
way" she replied haughtily, land he
will % disturb any one"
That makes no difference" said
the conductor. 1T couldn't allow my
own dog to ride in here. Dogs must
ride in the baggage car. I'll fasten
him all right for YOU"
Don't you dare touch my dog, sir"
cried Miss Carlson excitedly. Il will
trust him to no one!"
Very Indignantly the young woman
marched to the baggage car, tied the
dog and returned. About so miles
further on, when the conductor came
through the car again, Miss Carlson
inquired:
"Win you tell me if my dog is all
right"
81 am very sorry, madam" replied
the conductor, politely, but you tied
him to a trunk. and he was thrown off
with it some time ago."

Can You Beat This?-On a dilapi-
dated marrow gauge railroad in a GER
tain state, a traveller was struck with
the general air of hopelessness Of the
entire country. Rundown farms
fences falling to pieces and houses
implanted and dismal, were seen as
mile after mile reeled off. Finally
a countryman got on and the two fell
into conversation.
Country around here looks fearful
ly d%ilapidated,' remarked the travel
err.
"Yaas, but jest wait and yell. see
sumpin' wuss," replied the country
man.
The train stopped. They looked out
and saw a rail missing ahead. The en-
tire train crew clambered out, crow
bars in hand, proceeded leisurely to
the rear Of the train and in due time,
loosed a rail and carried it forward
1t was spiked into position and the
train proceeded.
Somebody stole a rail?" asked the
traveller.
"Yaas, about twenty years ago, ]
reckon. Evah sine they hain't no.

train comes back they've gotter stop
an tear up a rail behind 'em. Amt

THAT is a whole lot Of money" said
Sam, land I am going to try hard to
win the first prize, though my land Is
pretty we'll run down."
You can fix that all right" MI.
Burns assured him. "Of our you
may not get the whole field as well
fortified as it should be, but you can
get the acre for corn in good condi-
ton. And I want you to lay off that
acre Just across the fence from Fa-
gan's. Well certainly show him some
thing this year about growing corn"
That's the poorest land on the
place." said Sam.
$50 much the BETTER" Mr.. Burns
assured him. Pagan can't say then
that your crop is due to better land"
"Oh, no, he can't say that, for his
land Is much richer than mine! Mine
has been neglected sc long. I'll sure
have to go to work on 1t II I'm going
to make a good showing this year."
Yves, that's right. Get it fertilized
and plowed deep as soon as you can.
This is January. It should have been
plowed three months ago. How much
land have your"
Twenty acres, but five Of it are in
pasture. I'm going to hire a man to
pillow the field, a. I have only one
horse"
THAT would be best" said Mr..
Burns, "but you must keep an account
Of all the work done on the contest
acre. for you know it will have to be
figured in on the cost Of the corn"
I'll do that" Sam agreed. I'm fact,
I'm going to keep books on everything
crops and stock too. I want to
know when I make or lose"
You're on the right track" Mr..
Burns replied. 1T is just as necessary
to keep books on the farm as it is in
any other business. for farming is a
business, Sam, and a good business,
too, If you do it in a business-like
way"
1T know that what you say Is true,
Mr.. Burns" Sam declared. II don't
know very much about farming yet,
but I'm going to learn. I want you to
give me a list Of books to read and
study on the subject"
WELL, the first thing for you to do"
suggested the agent, "is to send to the
state and national departments Of ag-
riculture for the bulletins about the
crops you are going to grow. You will
be surprised at the number Of them
and at the information in them. Here
are the addresses and the anne OF
some books for you to get"
THANK you," said Sam, land now
must be going. Bill Googe is to be in
town today, and I want to see him
about the blowing. Goodby until Mon
day. I'll see you at the meeting"

GERMANY Is REASONABLE
Thinks American Note 10 Fair and Re-
plies in Like Spirit.

/ nInk8 Hm0TICdH tN0k0 10 U GU o''S ~
plies in Like Spirit.
London, March 1.-The contents OF
the American note Of February %, to
| Great Britain and Germany and Ger
many's reply thereto are given in a
Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam. The
notes were received in Amsterdam In q
| dispatch from Berlin
The American note expresses the
hope that Great Britain and Germany
may, through reciprocal concessions,
| discover a basis of understanding
which would tend to free ships en-
gagged in neutral and peaceful COM
merce from serious dangers to which
they are exposed in passing through
| the coastal waters Of the belligerent
countries. The suggestion, the note
| says, should not be considered as a
proposal by the American government,
whom it does not behoove to propose
| conditions for such an agreement,
| though the question at issue has a d.
rect and f~ar-reaching interest for the
| United States.
The suggestion Is made that Ger
many and Great Britain should agree
first, that isolated drifting mines
| should be laid by neither party; n a
| anchored mines should be laid ex-
| clusively for defense, within gun range
| of harbors and that all mines should
| Lza- kLo oortr of fha 0nuQrnmQnf 0f
the origin or be constructed as to be-
| come harmless after breaking loose
from their anchorage.
It is suggested, second, that sub
marines should not be employed to at
tack merchant vessels Of any n%ationali-
ty, except to carry out the right OF
holding them up and searching them,
and third, that mercantile ships Of
neither Of the parties should employ
neutral flags as a val ruse or to con-
ceal their identity.
Great Britain, 1t Is suggested, should
agree that foodstuffs shall not be
made absolute c%ontraband and that
the British authorities neither shall
disturb nor hold up cargoes Of such
goods when addressed to agencies in
Germany, the names Of which are
communicated by the United States
government for the purpose Of receiv-
ing such goods and handing them over
to licensed German retailers for fur
Their distribution exclusively to the civil
population.
Germany, it is contended, should de-
clare her agreement that foodstuffs
from the United States, or any other
neutral country, shall be addressed to
such agencies.
The German reply to the United
| States was dispatched Sunday. 1t be-
gins:
The German government has TAX
en- note of the American suggestion
with lively interest and sees therein
new proof Of friendly feelings which
are fully r~eciprocated by Germany.
The suggestion corresponds as to
the German wishes hat the naval war
should be waged according to rules
which, without subjecting n or the
other %belligerent powers to one-sided
restrictions Of methods Of warfare,
would take into consideration the in

Bispham, the opera singer, in addi-
ton to his contribution to the usual
concert programme given for the ben
eft of the sailors widows and chill
dren fund, offered to auction a pro-

the programme, which was added to
the receipts for tickets. After it was
all over a gentleman approached Mr..
Bispham and said, with all due admi-
ration and enthusiasm: Say, I'm a
