WHY DELAY REPLY
Sudden Change in Berlin Plans
Remains Mystery.
Now Certain Controversy Will
Not Be Speedily Ended.

Berlin, July 5.-The sudden change
in plans for the delivery of the Ger
many reply remained a mystery to-
day The foreign office declared that
the date of delivery is indefinite, bur
refused to give any hint as to the rea-
son for the postponement.
Ambassador Gerard could not throw
any light on the situation. He inti-
mated that the reply might not be
placed in his hands ror another week.
Until late Saturday night confer
ences were held at the foreign Of
flee. 1t was admitted the German
situation was under discus
sion, but officials displayed the great
est reticence regarding the conference.
Whatever the nature of the proposal
put forward by Germany. ii is deemed
certain that the German-American
controversy will not be cleared up at
once. The Germany reply will invite
further communication from America.

WOrkmen Taking Out "Pealer''
From Independence Hall.
ITS PART IN our HISTORY
Rang Out the Announcement of
the 1875 Declaration.
In Topeka at the Rock Island
Station Thursday Morning.

Philadelphia, July 81 Workmen
began at sunrise today to remove the
Liberty Bell one of Americas most
treasured relics, from it's case in In
dependence Hall for it's Journey to
the Panama-Pacific exposition. The
bell was taken into Independence
square where it was viewed by thou
sands of persons who had gathered
for the Independence day exercises.
Later the relic was to be taken aboard
"a heavy automobile truck and hoisted
on the specially constructed gondOla
car for its trip to the Pacific coast.
The bell was to be escorted to the
car by military and naval forces.
The train known as the Liberty
Bell special, and carrying city couc-
-cilmen and their guests, was sched-
uled to start on its trip across the
continent at p. m. Before the close
of the day the historic relic will be
a feature of holiday celebration IN
three Pennsylvania cities, Lancaster
being the first stop
1t was 139 years ago Sunday when
the Liberty Bell pealed out the an
nouncement of the declaration of in
dependence Its history has always
been the voice of freedom"
In front of Independence hall on
that day was great crowd. 1t was
not a gay and carefree multitude.
Fancy and fiction have painted the
scene in high colors: fact made it
sonber. The throng breathed the
atm mosphere of seriousness, solemnity
and gravity. It's thoughts were too
profound to study how liberty could be
won against apparently insuperable
odds to become ecstatic over resolu-
tion:.
And that crowd 139 years ago wait
ed. The greatest men of the Colonies
were within the building. facing the
crisis of American history. And the
bell in the tower of the hall was silent.
Then all of a sudden it pealed out in
clear, ringing tones, the fact that the
men from the thirteen colonies had
deemed it wise to cast loose entirely
from Great Britain. And the ringing
of that bell is history.
The liberty bell will be in Topeka
Thursday morning at $50 o'clock un-
til 10 O'Clock. 1t will be accompanied
by Philadelphia city officials. The
bell will be at the Rock Island station
and expectations are that a great
throng will be there. Governor Cap
per has accepted the invitation of the
c. \. r. committee to be there School
children are urged to attend the ex-
ercises. After an hour and a half
stop here, the liberty bell, placed on
the steel gondola car, will proceed on
its tour westward

LOOKING UP MANS RECORD

New York, July 5.-Efforts were
made here at Glen Cove, l.. L., and in
several other cities today to clear up
the mystery said to surround the iden-
tity of Frank Holt, who on Saturday,
attempted to asSassinate j. p. Morgan.
Federal detectives throughout the
country were following up clues which
they hoped would reveal the chief
events in his life. One of the import
ant questions which they had to solve
was that raised by the police of Cam
bridge, Mass, regarding the possible
identification of Holt as Erich Muen-
ter. a former Harvard instructor, who
disappeared from that city after the
death of his wife from alleged poison
ing in 1906.
Statements from relatives of Muen-
ter and men who knew him as stu
dent in Chicago, comparing descrip-
tions of Holt with their recollectfons of
Muenter were read with interest by
the detectives working on the case.
Photographs of Muenter We're COM
pared with those of Holt. Holt was
questioned by police officers from New
York and Washington. Major Pull
man. superintendent of the Washing
ton police, the last of the inquisitors,
endeavored to locate the room that
Holt occupied while in Washington be-
fore exploding the bomb in the capi-
tol. but was unable to do so.
It was in the course of his examina-

Holt disclosed his plan. entertalned
