after his attempted assassination of
j. p. Morgan. the wireless cracked
q warning over the Atlantic telling of
his threat to blow up a shin, and the
mystery of his life was cleared away
with his positive identification as Erich
NTuenter. the alleged wife murderer,
who fed Harvard University in 1905.
HIE LAST FEW CROWDED HOURS
Nothing more dramatic in the last
foW crowded days of Holt's life has
como to life than the warning of de-
struction that was uncovered after his
death. His confession that he placed
the bomb in the Capitol at Washington
last Friday; his attempted assassi-
nation of j. p. Morgan; the growing
belief that he was Erich Muenter.
alleged murderer of his wife, culmi-
mating to-day in his positive identi-
ficaion-in. death-as Muenter, and
his sensational suicide by leaping
twenty feet from the top of his cell to
the floor. formed n series of events to
which the threatened destruction of
the Philadelphia or the Saxonia fitted
as a startling climax.
WIRELESS REACHES OUT TO SEA
The powerful wireless stations OF
thc Navy Department were enlisted in
the efforts TO prevent the threatened
disaster at sea. In answer to the warn
ing there was received to-day a mes
sage from the captain of the Phila-
delphia which said that everything
aboard had been identified and that all
was we'll. The SaNonia had not re-
piled. Her failure to do so was at
tributed to the weakness of her wire
less batteries, which could not, it was
thought, span the distance from mid
ocean 10 shore without relay.

is continuing in at least one section of
the front south of Warsaw.
Divergent claims come. from Vienna
and Rome as to the situation on the
Austro-Italian front. Italian head
quarters reports infection of severe
losses upon the Austrians in counter
attacks on the Carnic frontier. the re-
pulse of attacks along the Tyrol-Tren-
tino line and of a determined assault
upon the Italian position on Avos-
tano peak.
The most recent Austrian official
statement declares the Italians have
been on the offensive and have been
repulsed in attacks at several points.
Unofficial dispatches from Italy en-
phasized the violence of the fighting
along the Austrian frontier and de-
clare the troops of that nation are
making a determined attempt to open
the way TO Jarvis, regarded as the key
to interior Austria.
In Caucasus the Russians report
having checked a Turkish attempt at
an offensive west of Ahlavat.
French destroyers have been oper-
ating on the Asia Minor coast sinking
Turkish vessels and infiicting other
damage.
Heavy Fighting i'm West
Last night saw a continuance of
heavy fighting along the western front.
The French, in the official report from
Paris, claim to have repulsed German
attacks north of Arras and on the
heights of the Meuse.
Near St. Mihiel, at the point where
the Germans have maintained their
salient since the early months of the
war, German troops were successful in
penetrating the first line of French
defenses along a front of seven hun
dred yards
In the LIE Pretre forest a German at

according to the French War office,
which to-day gave out an announce

The statement declares the attack
was the most important delivered
since early May, and that 1t was
launched with the purpose of driving
the invaders into the sea. A Turkish
cruiser in the Dardanelles took part
in the engagement. as did the batter

The board also passed a resolution
urging legislation that will prevent the
use of the mails for the advertising of
Intoxicating liquors in dry territory.
Another resolution adopted COM
mended President Wilson for refusing
TO renounce. despite strong pressure. a
letter he is said to have written while
governor of New jersey to a citizen of
Texas in which Mr.. Wilson is said to
have declared that state prohibition is
proper where public sentiment is ripe
for it.
Members of the league were urged
in another resolution to call upon con-
gressional representatives in their re-
spective districts to support any meas
ure that will bring about national pro-
hibition.
The text of the resolutions will not
be made public until they are read to
the convention of the league in session
here this week
Two interesting addresses were
made at the morning session of the
convention. one by the Rev. Father
Curran, of Wilkes Barre, and the
other by Ex-Governor Foss, of Massa-
chusetts. Father Curran, who pre-
sided, said the reason. in his opinion,
why Catholics as body have held
aloof from the Anti-Saloon League
movement was because they were too
conservative. He added that the tide
was now turning. Father Curran fur
ther said that he desired to arouse the
Catholics of the country to the impor-
tance of the Anti-Saloon League in the
fight against the liquor traffic.

mated that the political parties in
their national conventions next year
will come face to face with the oues-

only way to stop industrial decay in
this country is through national pro-

WREETLERS BOTH AT HARD
TRAINING FOR COMING BOUT

Workman and Rintrop, the two
wrestlers, whom are to try and settle
the question as to being the best man,
are both training hard for the coming
bout, which takes place in Blackfoot
April 5. Both men are hard as nails,
and by reports can 90 the route at a
very fast rate.
These are the two young men that
had the match a few weeks ago, and
the results were not satisfactory on
either side. Workman being fouled, as
some of his hackers claim. But either
way, this bout will settle the question.
Mr.. Patterson and others who are
promoting this bout, promise the fans
excellent service .anG everybody knows
that these two young men will give a
very good account of themselves. And
as several papers in the neighboring
towns are saying: "Blackfoot is to
have a wrestling match on the night of
April, 5 that will long be remembered
by the fans in that locality, as both
men are of championship calibrc.
