Holt Calm at College.
IBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune.


Ithaca. n. Y, July 3.-Though pro-
German in his views of the European
war and opposed to the expectation of
arms and ammunition by this country
to Europe, Frank Holt, the former Cor
nell instructor and graduate student
who shot J. P. Morgan, to-dey-two
weeks after he had received the degree
Of doctor of philosophy from Cornell
University-was considered one of the
coolest and sanest members of the Ger
man department at Cornell. His for
mer colleagues are utterly at a loss 10
explain his act; they cannot harmonic
il either with his character and his
mode Of life and conduct while resi-
dent Of the university community for
two years. The belief that Holt was in
sane when he shot Morgan is wide
spread.
Holt had discussed the war with
other members of the faculty, some Of
them warm partisans Of the Allies, but
he had never lost his temper and he
was regarded as one of the most rea-
sonable men in the German depart
ment on this question. He had never
made a special point OF opposition to
arms expectation, though he was
strongly opposed TO the policy of the
government on tnat issue.
Lat fall Holt wrote a letter TO THE
Ithaca Journal" protesting against what
he called unfair treatment Of the war
news, the occasion for his protest being
the publication of the report of alleged
German atrocities in Belgium. The tone
Of the letter, however, was calm, and
very much like hundreds of letters
printed in papers all over the country.
He asked the newspaper to publish both
sides of the war question.
Holt came to Cornell two years go
TO strive for the degree of Ph.D. He
was a brilliant student and an accom-
plished linguist, speaking French, Ger
man and Spanish huently. His work
appealed to the professors in the Ger
man department, so that he received
an appointment as instructor. Thus
he taught at Cornell, sometimes in
tutoring schools and the same time
worked on his thesis. Three months
ago he had worked very hard, and
there is a possibility that he might
have been suffering from the effects
of that strain even to this time.
Holt received his degree at the com
mencement exercises last month. lie
had accepted a position as professor
in the Southern Methodist College at
Dallas. but before he went South he
planned TO work in the Cornell library
on some articles that he purposed to
submit to pathological journals. Be
fore entering upon this work he pur-

CALLS CRIMES SIGN
OF PUBLIC ANGER
Miss Miller, Head of Neutrality
Organization. Sees Reason
for Hollis Deed.

Baltimore, July 3. "No one can
sympathize with such a man for taking
such extreme action as he did" said
Miss Nellie Miller, president of the
Organization of American Women for
Strict Neutrality, tonight in comment
ing on the shooting of Mr.. Morgan and
the attempt to blow up a room in the
Capitol by Holt.
Miss Miller was emphatic in her
statement that, while there was such
thing as being firm in the belief that
the expectation Of arms to foreign ma
tons was violation of this countrys
neutrality, there was no need to bring
the matter to such a fanatical conclu-
sion. She said there were persons in
every cause who were always extreme
and ready 10 do horrible things for the
sake of their convictions, but she
thought no sympathy could be extended
the man who deliberately committed
crimes such as Hollis
Indeed, in a manner it illustrates
very WE'LL said Miss Miller. "the grow
ing resentment among the American
people against the expectation Of arms
and ammunition. The laboring classes
and the rank and file of the people all
over the country are beginning to be

sake of greed. are willing 20 risk the
welfare Of their country. II the coun-
try does not put an embargo on NUM-
tions can foresee nothing but trouble
"While ! have not had a chance 20
read the details of the crime of this
man, / consider it a regrettable oc-
currence. But il only shows what
high pitch the resentment of the people
has reached. We maintain that the
country should have no part in the
war, and We think that the way 20 keep
IL out is TO put ar embargo on arms.
Moreover. from communications which
| have received during the last few
weeks | am convinced that popular
feeling is with Us.
AS a result of the stand AIKEN by

@Don't Worry, Morgan, Propped

Morgan had an extension telephone
brought TO his bedside and assured her
that she need not worry. He also called
up his partner. William II. Porter, and
gave him the same assurance.
Late in the afternoon Miss Morgan
went motoring 10 escape the heat, but
her mother remained at home. She was
bearing IN well under the strain this
evening. Servants said she would re-
main with her daughter in the country
over night. Miss Morgan, the expocta-
tion was, would go to Glen Cove to-
morrow ard see her brother.
The telegram caused commotion on
the Morgan estate. Mrs. MOrgan's
maids quickly informed the other ser
wants in the house and they in turn no
titled the gardeners and other outside
hands in a few minutes the news had
reached the servants families, and the
shooting was soon the chief topic all
through the village.
Mr.. Morgan, who has spent many
summers here on his parents estate, is
popular with the village folk, and mes
sages Of sympathy were frequently sent
TO the Morgan homestead.

that Mr.. Morgan had been shot, but
that he was only slightly wounded.
The servants carried the news to Mrs.

that his condition was not serious.
