In those papers just what he had done.
Steamers leaving New York July
will be destroyed in midocean," Holt is
quoted as having written.
The fact that such letter had been
written by Mr.. Morgan's assailant, pre-
sumably prior to his attempt on Mr..
Morganis life, was known to tho police
at o'clock yesterday morning. The
first word Of his letter came from
Glencove. The contents were divulked
by man who had talked with Holt In
his cell for q long time yesterday. This
man refused to permit the us6 Of his
name. but from his standing his asscr-
ton was not doubted
Early Plots Frustrated.
In each case, 1t was said, the bombs
had been placed aboard a vessel carry
ing automobiles and other supplies for
the French army.
Two Of the three vessels menaced by
bombs. 1t was learned, were the British
steamship Bankdale, which sailed from
New York, May I. for Havre, and Lord
EApe. which sailed April 20 for the
saRe destination.
The United States secret service and
the French government, 1t was said,
had Joined in an investigation. In at
least one case the bomb consisted of at
least two large iron cylinders and the
other an explosive which would be set
of when the acid ate its way thru the
walls of the cylinder. The failure Of
the acid to penetrate the iron and
reach the explosive during the voyage
had frustrated the plot.
Story 10 Confirmed.
Announcement that the bombs had
been discovered was made by a steam
ship man OF high standing in this city,
who confirmed the story Of Mr.. Hill, a
passenger Of the steamer Espagne. Mr..
Hill said that one such bomb had been
found aboard a vessel. The man con-
firming Mr.. Hills statement said that
the ship to which Mr.. Hill referred was
one Of three whose destruction at sea
was threatened by bombs.
Dynamite Purchases Traced.
Detectives today examined all the
leftover packages on the piers Of the
American and Cunard lines. but none
of them seemed to tally with the de-
scfiption OF the bomb. The police do
not believes the bomb was dispatched
by parcel post.
The police learned today that Holt
had bought 100 feet of fuse. 100 cleo
trical explosive caps and 200 sticks of
dynamite from local powder COM
pany. This order was delivered to
Holt at Central Park. L. l., on June 20.
1t was ascertained today that Holt
left Ithaca on June 8, with the sui
phuric acid that he used in the bomb
that he exploded in the capitol at
Washington. The acid was bought at
an Ithaca pharmacy.

SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.

OGENIHE ERIVIIEIEs - ClNlllZd-
ton is loaded to the guards with spe-
cial privileges. The burden is crush
ing the life out of the producing
forces of the world and the cries of
the crushed are mounting to heaven,
but fall on deafened ears here on
earth.
Among the minor special privileges
that tend to constant increase is the
making of class of pensioned public
officials. The latest proposition of
this sort is that to pension our worn
out judges.
If government by the people shall
be preserved and perfected the aboli-
ton of all kinds of special privilege
must come, and our laws must be
made so that every human being
shall have equal freedom and equal
opportunity Government machinery
should bear equally upon all. Gov
eminent restrictions should extend

equally TO all. Equal opportunity 10
earn a good and abundant living
should be the portion of every citi-
zen. Every human being should have
an equal opportunity to participate
in all the benefits and in all the social
advantages of civilized society.
These conditions demand the abo-
ition of poverty. Any pension law
that does not include every human
being violates justice.
The broken-down workingman or
woman is entitled to a pension as well
as the judge or the policeman or the
soldier. But our unrighteous system
of land holding and taxation, which
gives the few special privileges to
prey upon the many and puts thebur
den of maintaining our governments
upon the producing forces and which
gets it's revenue mainly from labor
and labor products, stands in the way
of reform.
If it were changed so that monop-
oily would bear the burden and cap
ital and labor be free from toll we
would have sufficient public revenue
to pay all the expenses of all public
functions and there would remain a
surplus large enough to give every
needy human being pension.
The fundamental democracy pro-
posed by Henry George, if adopted
and enforced in it's fullness and integ-
rity by an enlightened people, will in
reality abolish all taxes. 1t would
abolish all inequality and all special
privilege. 1t would establish social
conditions so just, so righteous and
so free that people would laugh to
scorn the idea of pensioning anybody.
For there would be no one on earth
that would need it.
Workingmen! While you are get
ting short breathing spells in your

mocracy as remedy which will give

What did this county send women

for? Why didn't they stay at home?

that their cause is lot one and that
Bulgaria is manifesting tendency
toward the Central Powers This is
due to the dissatisfaction Of that gov

in Macedonia, and at the conduct OF
Greece in this connection. None OF
the Allies representatives cherish
hope that Bulgaria can be prevented
from joining Germany and Austria.
