He repeated that death was caused hy a fracture at the top of the skull. An explosion which would have blown his head off would have followed an attempt by Holt to chew a percussion cap, the physician said.
 A thorough examination of Holt's cell failed, according to the jail authorities to disclose any weapon or implements or any kind which Holt could have used to kill himself.

They followed the positive identification by Lewis ott of Holt as the man who had rent cd the bungalow and who found num- ercus bottles with corks punctured m the center small vials and pictures of dozen public buildings throughout the country, three of which were marked.
 Frank Mecahill. constable who Nac- eqmpanied the detectives on the search of the bungalow, said the marked buildings were the New York public library and the eapltols buildings at .sl- hany. N. Y, and harrisburg, Pas
 No Reason for Lies
 Holt refused to say why he lied in tho first place about the contents of the bombs and his movements.
 He refused also to admit that he was the man who, under the name of Hen drick, received a shipment of 12O bounds of dynamite at Syrosset Long Island. although George W. carnes. station agent at that place, tonight identified Holt as Hendrick.
 Throughout the day New York de tcctives were working on a clue which led them to believe that Holt was the man who received the dynamite and who took it to the bungalow and there made a number of bombs They were trying 10 trace a trunk full of bombs which they had reason to believe Holt had shipped from the bungalow to a New York address
 The detectives learned that Holt left the bungalow last Friday morning with the intention of taking the first train toward New York. He missed it. but got the next one at 7;l9 a. m. The detectives recalled that it was last Friday when Holt went to Washington and set off the capitol bomb. They learned that when Holt boarded the train he had trunk and suitcase which he had checked to the Pennsyl- vnria station In New York.
 The detectives were unable to learn lf Holt took the trunk. which they be. lieved 10 be full of bombs. with nim to Washington or had it sent from the station to some New York address. In any event the police are convinced that In the absence of any dynamite in the bungalow the explosive is in the miss ing trunk. They secured the neighboT- hood of the bungalow tonight and were unable to find any evidence that it had heen buried.
 II was said that Holt's admission that he had lied as to the contents of the bomb came after Captain of De tectives Tunney had told him that ne fTGnneyl knew for positive fact that Illuminating caps had been used in the making of the bomb. Captain Tunney declined. however to tell how he reached this conclusion.

HOLT CHEERFUL
 IN EVENING

Keeper O'Ryan declared that Holt ap- peared unusually cheerful early in the evening. He could not understand why Holt should write a letter which was found after his death, in which Holt addressed presumably his wife and children as follows
 My Dears I must write to you once more. The more I think about it the more I see the utter uselessness of living under these circumstances Bring up the dear babies in fear of God and man. Good-by, my sweet. Affectiona tely. FRANK"
 An evidence of the great confusion which followed the report and the find ing of Holts body was a second state ment by Keeper O'Ryan to the effect that he was not sure If Holt's body was found in his cell or in the corridor. This tended to strengthen the theory of District At torney Smith and Warden Hulz that Holt had killed himself by jumping from the top of his cell into the court below and that while doing so he had dlslodged couple of the boards which fell to the floor with loud report.
 Dr Cleghorn, after performing autopsy on Holts body at Hampstead, stated that Holt had died of hemor- rhage of the brain caused by depressed fracture of the skull
 Dr. Cleghorn said he found large con tused wound, which extended from the top of the head to below the eyes. and that both the top and base of the skull had been fractured.
 pr. Cleghorn said he found no evidences of an explosion or bullet wound.
 Frank Holt. who shot j. r. Nor gan in his home near here, after set ting the, bomb that exploded In the capitol at Washington, admitted to de- tectives at the Mineola jail tonight that he lied when he said that he made the capitol bomb out of sulphuric acid and matchheads and said also that he did not tell the truth about his movements in Washington and New York.

Sheep Breeding in Japan.

Imports of wool into Japan now
amount to about seven million dollars
year, with tendency to increase
along with the increased demand for
wooden textiles. 1t is therefore con.
sidered important to breed sheep in
Japan. A Tokyo commercial agency
bulletin says that experiments are be-
ing made at the farm of Marquis
Matsukata and in Chiba prefecture,
while the department of agriculture
and commerce is encouraging some
villages in the island of Hokkaido to
breed sheep. The department has de-
cided to appropriate about fifteen
thousand dollars for sheep breeding
in 1915. 1t may be impossible to
make sheep breeding as prosperous
in Japan as in foreign countries, on
account of geographical and other con-
ditions, but if encouraged and carried
on as a subsidiary business of farm
ers, some of the domestic demand
may be met. In view of this fact the
department seems very eager to en-
courage stock farming.-Consul Gen.

LITTLE JOKE OF WEBSTER'S
How He Refused to Appoint Washing
ton Irving Dispatch Bearer
to Himself.

When, in 1926, Washington Irving
was preparing his Life of Columbus"
he took up his abode at the home of
the American consul in Madrid, and
some time later, while collecting ma
terials for his Conquest of Granada"
and "The Alhambra," ne lived for
quite a long time in southern Spain.
Then, after serving as secretary OF
the American legation at London, he
returned from his long sojourn abroad
to his own country to enjoy tue fruits
of his fame.
But, as time went on, the memories
of those days in Spain grew sweeter,
and there sprang up in his breast a
longing to visit again the land where
life had been so pleasant. So, in
1912, says the Youths Companion, he
resolved to call upon Mr.. Webster,
then secretary Of state, and ask of
him the humble post of bearer of dis
patches to the minister of Spain, who
was about to be appointed, in order to
diminish the expenses of the trip to
that country.
When he called on the secretary at
his private residence, however, and
preferred his modest request, he was
a little embarrassed by the hesitation
OF Mr.. Webster, who told him that
he could not grant the request until
he had consulted the president. Ac-
cordingly, Irving took his leave, his
gentle nature somewhat hurt by such
cold treatment.
When he returned few days later
to learn what success his petition had
met, his embarrassment was further
increased when, in the course of a
long conversation, Mr. Webster made
no allusion whatever to the subject
Of the much-desired position. At
length, convinced that that was the
secretary's method Of conveying his
refusal, Irving rose to take his de-
parture.
Then ME-. Webster, rising with him,
said:
Il regret to say that l have found it
impossible to give you the position for
which you asked the other day, be-
cause"-and here he smiled quizzical-
ly and placed his hand on Irving's
shoulder" because this morning the
president appointed you envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary to the court of Spain! And
neither nor the president" continued
Mr.. Webster, as Irving stood speech
less with establishment and delight,
consider it in keeping with the hon.
or and dignity of that high position
that you should be dispatch bearer
to yourself"

New AneSthetic

A new anesthetic is being used in
the treatment of wounde in the pres
ent war. 1t is understood to be re-
lated to amalgersine, preparation dis
covered, as this, too, has been, by M
Paulin, distinguished French chemist
and a pupil of Pasteur. It's action is
not local; it operates upon the nerve
centers of the body, and produces a
state Of obliviousness to pain which
may last for several hours. 1t is
claimed that by an injection of this
fluid into is system the wounded sol
der may be rendered unconscious suf-
ficiently long to cover the period of his
removal to the station, where the first
serious treatment of his injuries may
be seen to.
