EXTEND uNDER-sEA CAMPAIGN.
Kaiser to Carry Submarine Warfare
to American Waters

London, July while negotiations
are in progress between the United
States and Germany on the nature of
Germany's reply to President Wilson's
demands that Americans on neutral
ships te protected. 1t became known
that Germany is to carry her subma-
rine warfare into the waters of Amer
lea itself. This fact is regarded as
a significant forecast of what Ger
many's answer will be to the United
States contention that the Kaiser's
underwater campaign, imperiling the
lives of i,eutrals and non-combatants
should be modified.
News of the decision to extend the
range of submarine activity across the
Atlantic came from Berlin and is
credited to an official close to Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz, who is in charge OF
Germany's submarine operations.

VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION
Fair Seaside Visitor Satisfied She Had
Seen Remarkable Government
Sailing Apparatus"

They were passing the holiday at
Onset and during the course of the
sunny afternoon took stroll on the
beach. At one point they came upon
an improvised breakwater, where
some resident had filled bags with
sand and piled them in breastworks
fashion to prevent the sea from en-
croaching upon his land during the
stormy season.
One of the young ladies' was curious
Immediately. She would know what
the bags were for.
why, it's very simple" explained
her companion with due gravity. THE
water in Onset bay originally was
fresh, a popularity of nature which
has puzzled scientists. 1t seemed too
bad to deprive the place of seashore
advantages so the government took
the matter in hand, filled the bags
with salt and thereby has impaired
the proper flavor to Onset water"
Far from rebuking him for being
fresh" she is now telling her friends
of having seen the government salt
ing apparatus" down there.

looking up at the fair transporter Of

ASSASSIN HOLT FIRED CAPITOL BOMB
Holt Make. Statement.

Glen Cove, N. Y, July 6.-Frank
Holt, the man who shot ]. P. Morgan,
is the man who set the bomb that ex-
ploded in the United States Capitol
at Washington Friday night. In
statement to Justice Luyster and
Thomas Tunney. head of the bomb
and explosive squad of the New York
City Detective Bureau, Holt confessed
setting the bomb, and described it in
detail. 81 made this bomb Holt is
quoted as having said, in his confes-
sion, with three sticks of dynamite,
some match-heads and a bottle of sui
phuric acid"
Holt made the following statement
about the shooting:
MY home is in Dallas, Tex. l have
a wife and children and am 40 years
old. / was born in this country, and
SO were my father and mother. My
ancestors were French and German;
it was all mixed up. l received de-
gree of doctor of philosophy from Cor
nell in 1914, but before that was in
structor in French. l was formerly an
instructor in Vanderbilt University. l
came to New York two weeks ago
from Ithaca and put up at the Mills
hotel at Thirty-sixth street and Sew
enth avenue. / took no pains to con-
ceal my identity and registered un-
der my own name. About a month ago
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1915-07-10


l conceived the idea to see ]. p. Nor
gan, and get him to use his influence
in stopping the expectation Of arms,
which make you and me responsible
for the murder which is going on over
there.
Il could not go from manufacturer
to manufacturer myself. but thought
that Mr. Morgan's banking connec-
tions would render it more easy for
him to accomplish this. 1 have not
been influenced to do this by anybody
else think President Wilson's notes
were fine-but they did not seem
to do anything to stop the war.
II came down here from New York
to put my ideas before Mr.. Morgan,
but depended upon him to formulate
the plan. or course / did not mean
to shoot Mr.. Morgan, but intended
to stay there until something was
done. had stick of dynamite in my
pocket; ! had thought 1t might come
in handy, somehow. Some fool has
said that l had nitro-glycerine in my
suit case, but that was only benzine
to clean my clothes.
Il went up to the house and got by
the butler and walked up stairs. had
my gun in my hand. In the hall on
the second floor met Mr.. Morgan. A
woman whom | took to be his wife
immediately preceded him down the
hall. She screamed and jumped away
from where-I don't know exactly
where. Mr.. Morgan did not give me a
chance to say anything. He jumped
at me and grappled with me and 1
fired in the air, thinking to scare him.
They tell me hit him. l don't know,
for somebody hit me on the head
81 hope Mr.. Morgan is not badly
hurt. l admire Mr.. Morgan's courage
in graphing with me. If he would
only use his courage in the right di-
rection, and for the right things, he
will get somewhere and do something
worth while"
The belief prevailed that Holt had
been connected with other bomb out
RACES which have baffled the police,
notably the finding of a bomb on the
grounds of Andrew Carnegie's Fifth
avenue residence in New York City.
With a pencil borrowed from the
newspaper man, Holt addressed tele-
| gram to his wife, at 101 Marseilles
street, Dallas, Tex. The telegram fol-
lows:
MAN proposes, God disposes.
Don't come here until you get
my letter. Be strong"
The telegram was signed Frank"
He said he had written war arti-
cles" for an evening paper in Ithaca
and that in these articles he had
asked the editor of the paper to be
neutral. The articles, he said, were
| published over his signature.
