WASHINGTON, July 3.-Investigation
Of the explosion late last night which
wrecked the Senate reception-room OF
tho National Capitol was interrupted
tonight by the confession in New York
of Frank Holt, the man who shot ]. p.
Morgan at his home in Glen Cove, L. L.,
this morning. that he also had been
responsible for tho Washington crime.
Earlier in the day Washington news
papers received letter signed "R.
Pearce." in which the writer stated he
had planned the Capitol explosion as
the exclamation point to my appeal
for peace"
While experts were at work satisfy
ing themselves that an Internal machine
had wrecked the Senate room. the police
were searching for clues. They could
find no trace OF the mysterious "R
Pearce." but tonight they sought to
trace the movements OF Holt, who con-
fessed that he came to Washington
yesterday noon and waited at the Wash
ington station until he heard the bomb
explode.
Hours before Hollis confession sus-
picion was aroused here that the as
sailant of Mr.. Morgan and the man
who sought to wreck the Capitol were
Identical. Holt had given utterance in
New York following his arrest to state
ments striking similar to expressions in
the "Pearce" letter
IF Germany should be able to buy
munitions here, we would, Of course
positively refuse to sell to her" Holt
said after his arrest.
I'VE would, OF course, not sell to the
Germans II they could buy here" Is a
statement in the "Pearcc" letters.
REGARDED AS MORE
THAN COINCIDENCE
Other portions of Hollis interview
and the Washington writer's letter also
this as more than coincidence. An
investigation to establish possible
connection between the two crime. was
started.
The havoc wrought by the bomb was
terrific. In the reception-room tele-
phone booths lined the wall near the
window, where the bomb was placed
behind a telephone switchboard The
frame work around this window was
Of Iron, and was shattered by the con-

DETAILS OF BATTLE
NOT YET RECEIVED

LONDON. July "Details of the
naval battle between Russian and
German cruisers In the Baltic yester-
day apparently were lost in the fog
which enshrouded the scene OF the en-
sagement. Petrograd claims officially
that Russian cruiser squadron drove
a German cruiser ashore, but all un-
official reports agree that the vessel
which met disaster was the mine lay
or Albatross.
Petrograd says the German vessels
retired before the Russian attack,
while unofficial accounts declare Rus
sia's warships had to retire before su-
per!or numbers after battle lasting
half day.
The submarines OF the entente al
lies had their innings yesterday. From
Athens It is reported that a Turkish
troopship was sunk in the Sea OF
Marmora by British submersible.
while Petrograd claims that Russian
submarine obtained a heavy bag of
merchant ships In the Black Sea.
London has been encouraged by the
report from General Hamilton. at the
lDardanelles. saying French troops also

guest.
Details of the passing OF Mrs. Grundy
we're lacking in the mcager report re-

this morning.
