Holt Commits Suicide in Jail
at Glen Cove.
Glen CoveI July Frank Holt,
assailant of J. P. Morgan, and cap
itol dynamiter, is dead.
His attempt to kill himself with
1 lead pencil having failed, Holt, last
night, tried jumping to death ana
succeeded.
he dived from the bars of his cell
and dropped eighteen feet. Striking
on his head his skull was crushed.
Warden Hulse, of the Nassau county
Jail, in an official statement today re.
moved all doubt of the manner of Hollis
death.
Holt was under the guard of Jere-
miah Ran, Jail attendant. The pris-
oner apparently was sleeping soundly
and Ryan, hearing a noise on the other
side of the cell tier, left his place in
front of Hollis open door and started
to investigate. Ryan heard noise
which he said, resembled an explosion
and hastily returned to Holt's cell, only
to find it empty. Holt had slipped
through the open ecu door and climbed
to the top of the cell tiers to an open
window through which he plunged to
the narrow court yard below.
DR.. Guy Gleghorn, the Jail physician,
and District Attorney ]. Smith we're
summoned DR.. Cleghorn examined
the body and found that the skull had
been crushed and that death had been

North Dakota Still
Has Vast Amount Of
Untitled Land For
Farming Pufa oses

The records of the department of the
interior at Washington show that July
1, 1890, there were vacant government
lands in the state of North Dakota,
subject to homestead entry, with an
years later. July /. 1914, the same re-
cords disclosed the fact that only 672,-
949 of these same acres remained. The
total land area of the state is 44,736,-
AT acres, or approximately 10000
square miles. Thus in less than a
quarter of a century nearly 100000
acres have been taken up by actual
settlers under the u. s. land laws and
passed into private ownership, leaving
but the picked over remnant of less
than 100000 acres to represent the free
government lands OF the state No
more pregnant fact could be given than
these to demonstrate that hereafter the
seeker for a home in North Dakota will
have to make his selections from deed
ed lands and not from the free domain.
Figures certified to Commissioner r.
F. Flint of the state department of
agriculture by the various county aud
itors indicate that the actual farm
acreage in the state for 1914 was %, :
314,S55 acres of which 15,112,596 acres
are actually under the plow. Assum-
ing that per cent of the tctal land
area of 44,7S6,477 is unfit for cultiva-
ton and that the proportion of culti-
waited area to farm area in 1914 repre-
sents the full amount that can be cul-
tivated under our present system of
agriculture, making allowances for
pasture and meadow land, then there
remain in the state seine 12,42S,992
acres which can be cropped without
disturbing the proportional balance
above referred to.

government has proposed to Great
Britain the postponement of the plan
