SEEK ACCOMPLICES
OF 0YNAMITER HOLT
TO Launch General Campaign of
Terrorism

NEW YORK, July S.-Additional
detectives were detailed today by the
New York police department TO run
down accOmplices whom they believe
Frank Holt, dynamiter and assailant
of j. p. Morgan, had in his opera
tiOns The authorities were acting on
clews gained from papers left by Holt,
whose body has been practically iden-
titled as that of Muenter, the Harvard
Wife murderer.
The theory of the police is that Holt
had intended launch a campaign Of
terrorism and are convinced that in
this he would have been unable to act
alone. both because of the labor nee
essary 10 carry out his contemplated
outrages and because his funds were
insufficient for such a task.
While hunting for the alleged ac-
completes the police are also con-
unuing their search for dynamite
which Holt bought and which has not
yet been found. Though messages
from the captains of the liners Sax
onia and Philadelphia have reported
both these vessels safe, the authOri-
ties are certain that bombs
made by Holt were not placed on both
ships leaving New York.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The next
step in this governments controversy
with Germany over the latter's sub
marine warfare, again was up TO Pres
Wilson today and word was awaited
at the state department giving the
chief executives opinion of the in
formal outline of the German reply
which was sent to him. by Ambassa-
dor Gerard at Berlin.
Sec'y of State Lansing did not eX-
pect to communicate with Ambassador
Gerard until he received these instruc-
tiOns 1t is not now denied, however,
that the German government is par
leying for concessions from the stand
taken by the United States regarding
the rights of neutrals to travel unmo-
Tested on the high seas.
There is little doubt in official quar-
ters that the counter proposals made
by Germany are unacceptable in their
platform. The German suggestions
have not been made public either in
Berlin or in Washington, but it is
known that Germany is fighting
against any promise 10 the United
states which might destroy the effect
iveness of the kaiser's submarine war
fare against Great Britain.
What Kaiser Wants.
It Is believed that Germany in the
tentative draft of it's reply to this
government, goes to the extent OF
agreeing that Americans may travel
in any ship provided the United States
gives assurances to the German gov
ernment as follows:
That the ship, belligerent or other
wise. is unarmed.
That she carries no cOntraband Of
war.
That she will stop for search if sig
nailed by a German submarine
This government also would be re-
quired TO notify Germany of The sail
ing date of such a vessel.
Germany is believed here to be un-
willing TO make any agreement TO
spare a ship simply because she has
Americans on board.
Ii is realized by this government
that the United States will invite
much work and worry should she ac-
cede to the SUGGESTIONS TO keep con-
stant espionage on departing ships
that they may be marked as having
Americans on board.
Although the president has not
made purlic his views on such a pro-
gram. IT, as not believed here that he
will enter into an Arrangement of this
sort. The administration, as outlined
in two notes 10 Germany. wants that
nation 10 guarantee freedom of the
seas to Americans and would leave to
Germany, rather than the United
states the adoption Of means 10 pro
vide such freedom. Several members
of the presidents cabinet are said to
be ready TO advise him to stand firm
on his previously announced position
which is founded on international law
and which is regarded as sound in
