Beyond Willow Grove on the Nw

States, Massachusetts and New York, and
also escaped prosecutidn under tho FeN
era! laws for setting off a. bomb In tho
Capitol last Friday night.
Tho authorities aro of the opinion that
Holt was Insane. To confirm tins belief
Dr Charles Macdonald. the New York
alienist, will make a complete examina
tion of tho brain of tho suicide.
Jeremiah Ryan, the guard who was
watching Holt when tho latter killed him
self, was severely rebuked by District
Attorney L. J. Smith.
"I told you not to take your ocs oft
that prisoner for a single second," de
clared the District Attorney.
According to Ryan, he went to Investi
gate a noise mado by another prisoner
and, although ho was absent only a few
minutes. Holt seized the opportunity for
self-destruction.
Holt was examined by Dr. Carlos Sic
uonald, the famous alienist, not long
beforo he killed himself.
"I'm not crazy, I'm as sane as you
are," tho prisoner declared emphatically.
Ho gave part of his life history, saying
he was born In Wisconsin, went to col

FIND SUICIDE'S EXPLOSIVES;
HAD PLANNED MANY CRIMES
Police Seize Trunk Filled With Bomb
making Material.
NEW YORK. July 7.-A trunk filled
with dynamite, picric acid, fuses and
other articles used In tho manufacture of
bombs, which had been shipped from
Mlneola by Frank Holt, the suicide, who
attempted to kill J. P. Morgan, was found
today In a West Side avenue house
The shipment had been made under ihe
namo of F. H. Henderson
Letters found In. the dynamite trunk
ehow that Holt was born In Milwaukee,
and that his mother was a German, his
father being a German-American.
The police are searching for an ac
complice who helped Holt ship explosives
to the cottage at Central Park, L. I.,
where he maintained a bomb-making fac
tory. Holt practiced revolver shooting
constantly at the Central Park cottage.
As developments come to light, It Is
shown, that Holt planned a career of
terrorism mora widespread than any
other ever attempted in America. He
Intended to wreck the New York, clti'
liurary, tna Harnspurg and Albany Cap
itols and the manufacturing plants of
thf Aetna Explosives Company and du
Pont Powder Company. His expectation
of blowing up ammunition factories to
prevent shipment of munitions to Europe
was revealed by papers In a satchel found
at Farmlngdale by Ptnkerton detectives.
Another trunk, filled with dynamite and
other materials similar to the one found
,ln this city, was shipped by Holt, it was
learned.
In the trunk found In the West Side
Storage House were about 12S pounds of
dynamite. It was one ot the biggest hauls
of high explosives ever made by the New
York police. Powder In the trunk was
found to have been made by the Key
stone Company of Pennsylvania, the earns
concern mat manufactured the dynamite
found In Holt's suitcase at the Morgan
summer home on Long Island last Sat
urday, This was the deadly array found In the
trunk: I3t sticks of 63 ptr cent, dynamite,
three large tin cans, two boxes ot electric
fuses, one box of blasting caps, one pack
age Of powder, one coll of fuse, one dry
battery, ono package of powdered, resin.
one pacKage or sai ammoniac, one pack
age of sulphur, six boxes of fulminate of
mercury nnd one box of matches.
Inspector Eagan, of the Bureau of
Combustibles, said that each stick of
dynamite had been fitted with a fuse,
ready to be exploded. Eagan said the tin
cans were evidently to be used as bomb
containers. He also said he had found
murlatlo acid, which, according to the
label on the bottle, was purchased from
the Chrlstlance-Dudley Pharmacy, of
Ithaca, N. Y

Men Suffer for Necessaries and
Work nt Standstill Through
Councils' Neglect.
WILLOW GROVE TRAINS
OFFER LOWER RATES
Director Porter, In a statement today,
declared that the business of the Police
Department was practically nt a stand
still through tho Indifference of Councils.
Councilmanlc members of the $29,000 Lib
erty Bell Junket aro whirling westward In
a luxurious special and feasting on the
fat of the land, while man of the city's
detectives and policemen aro compelled to
borrow monoy to pay their rent.
Prlsonors In other cities awaiting ex
tradition cannot bo brought hero for lack
of funds. There Is no money for post
age In the pollco department, and now
such little things as ice water In tho
stations havo been denied tho pollco.
This deplorable condition Is due to the
failure of Councils to appropriate ex
pense money due tho detectives and spe
cial policemen for fares and other inci
dental expenses In the Investigation of
crime. The men havo not received any
of their expense monoy slnco last Feb
ruary, and tho constant drain on their
pockets has made it necessary to bor
row money from the Director and clerks
In the otTlco to pay rent, and In many
cases for food.
When pressed- for a statement as to
actual conditions today Director Porfter
said
"Special ofllcera and detectives have
not been repnld the money advanced by
them for carfare In the obtaining of evi
dence since February, and there Is a total
duo them of $1259.23. Tha Bureau of Police
has no fundi for carfare, postage or tho
obtaining of evidence. Not a police sta
tion In the city Is now being supplied
with Ice, the fund having been exhausted.
"We aro without funds either for re
pairs, ot 'purchaso of tires or motor
V'rols and patiol wagons. Notwith
standing the repeated request In behalf
of the department, Councils have de
liberately Ignored the vital needs of the
bureau, and work In this connection Is
at a standstill. Te public should know
where the responsibility lies."
As Councils will not meet again until
September, there Is no opportunity to
remedy the situation beforo that time.
Conllnnfd from Taxe One
cents, a saving of 11 cents; to Chelten
Hills the return fare la also 51 cents, to
Elklns Park It Is IS cents, a saving of 6
first station beyond Willow Grove and
a little more than a mile distant, the
single fare Is U cents. Purchasing a sin
gle faro to Willow Grove nnd paying five
cents on tho train means a saving of
It centB
As tho special excursion tickets to
Willow Grove nro only honored on the
dato of Issue, however, the passengers
find they can only effect the saving on
riding home at night. But for persons
going to any of the above stations from
Philadelphia -Simply for the day the
saving may be made both going anfl
returning.
Tho only means by which tho rail
way company can Inconvenience the pas
songers Is not to stop the specials to
Willow Grove nt Intermediate stations,
and to make this posslblo they will glvo
no assurance to those purchasing tickets
that the special trains will stop. There
are, however, a number of trains which
nro not specials and which aro forced
by schedule to stop at all stations.
The only big question now for com
muters Is a study of tho time tables so
that they can pick out trains which must
stop where they wish to go. The prin

CHICAGO SEEKS CONVENTION.
Chicago already la actively fighting for
the convention, and St. Louis and Minne
apolis also are expected to ask for It,
Senator Penrose pointed out.
"The Republican National Committee
wants assurances of a suitable hall In
whjcli to hold the convention and of a
fund to defray the expenses," said the
Senator.
"Chicago Is considered the natural nlace
In which to hold the convention, because
it can offer all accommodations. Includ
ing ample hotel accommodations.
"Th convention Tield In Philadelphia In
1900 created a very favorable Impression.
The deltgates wero pleased, and the
ticket as elected. It Is very probable
that the claims of Philadelphia for the
convention next year would receive
cordial and careful consideration at the
hands of the pommlttee. .
"it bo happened in 1900, however, that
President McKlnley expressed a prefer
ence for Philadelphia as the place for the
convention. This, of course, had weight
with the committee. The tendency, how
ever. Is to swing back to Chicago, as that
Is a, natural place for such an assembly."
COMMITTEEMEN NOT PLEDGED,
Senator Penrose expressed the opinion
that u majority of the members of the
National Committee have not pledged
their votes to Chicago, notwithstanding
published stories to that effect.
"It Is very unlikely that any member
of tha National Committee would pledge
himself In advance as to the place for
holding the convention." he said.
"The committee meets In Washington
next January as la customary, and among
omer matters to oa considered will be the
formal call for the Republican National
Convention, and especially the selection
of the time and place for It.
"Aa heretofore, several cities doubtless
will ie represented by delegations of
prominent cltUens to present the claims
of their respective localities for the convention-
Chicago, of course, already has
announced that a. delegation win appear
before the committee, and It Is sajd that
6t Louts and Minneapolis also will be
represented.
"The civic bodies of Philadelphia want
to get to work and obtain a suitable hall
find make arrangement for defraying
the very considerable expenses of the
convention."
EXPENSES IN BXCB3S OF 170.000,
Htlatlve to tho expenses of holdlnr th
convention here, Senator Penrose said
that the cost In 1900 was about 170.000, but
that It probably would require a larger
turn for tha 1518 gathering;.
"Personally, I would b glad to see the
convention held in Philadelphia," be
added. "This is tho greatest Republican
dty In tha country. I am willing to co
operate with any cenaRltteM or organi
zations toward that end."
Senator Vare riald tho movement to ob
tain the convention for Philadelphia
should be started at once. "I will con
tribute JJOCO toward a fund of 1100,000 tot
the expense of holding the convention,"
he Added.

"She was In New York under subpoena

you gave her a certificate of 111 health,
which she sent to me. I think I am

kind of an examination did you make,
and what did you And that Justified your

John B. Stanchflcld objected, but -was
overruled. Justice Hendrlck then asked
the witness:
"Did you think you were emDowrrf
to advise Mrs. Thaw not to come to
court7"
"I did," replied the physician.
Livingston said he found Mrs. Thaw
suffering from nervous trouble.
On cross-examination Livingston said
the appointment for him to examine Mrs.
Thaw was made by telephone by Dr
Austin Flint, the State's chief alienist,
at whose home Mrs. Thaw spent part of
yesterday.
When Cook wob asked why Mrs. Thaw
went to Doctor Flint he said:
"I do not know, except that I alwaya
havo understood that Doctor Flint Is tho
only man she would trust In this case,"
The next witness after Doctor Living
ston was Susan Merrill, the wonun frnrr.
whom Thaw was alleged to have rented

"All those In trm courtrnnm mnv i....

Only one woman left the room.

HOLT HINTED PERIL
TO TWO OCEAN LINERS
Letter to Wife Said Philadel
phia and Saxonia Might Bo
Blown Up Today.
.... ' -
WASIUNGTON, July 7, - Secretary of
the Navy Daniels announced today that
tho Navy Department, at his orders, sent
a warning by wireless last night to the
steamships Philadelphia and Saxonia,
which left New York on Saturday, that
Frank Holt, who shot J. P. Morgan, had
written a into predicting tho sinking of
one of these vessels on July 7.
Secretary Daniels declined to say whero
he got the Information, but he stated that
Holt wroto a letter saying!
"X steamer leaving New York for Liv
erpool should sink, God willing, on the
7th. I think It Is the Philadelphia or the
Saxonia, but I nm not quite sure, ns tho
two left on the 3d."
On the margin of this letter, which It
Is understood Holt wroto to his wife In
Dallas, Tex., were tho words!
"Tenr this oft until after It happens."
Secretary Daniels, upon receiving this
Information, Immediately directed Admiral
Benson, chief of operations, to notity me
two vessels of Holt's message.
The warning was sent out from the
Slasconsett wireless station. It was feared
that Holt had planted explosives on ono
of these vessels with a four-day time fuse.
Tho wireless warning was addressed
only to tho Philadelphia and the Saxonia,
but It was expected that tho Chicago and
Bergonport, which also sailed on Satur
day, would pick It up.
NEW YORK, July 7. A letter written
by Frank Holt to his wife shortly before
he ended his life, In which ho told her
that the liners Philadelphia and Saxonia
might meet with disaster on their Jour
ney to England, Is said to be in tho pos
session of Police commissioner Arthur
Woods.
The Philadelphia Is on American ship.
The Saxonia Is a. British vessel owned
by the Cunard Line. Doth sailed from
New York Saturday,
For several hours before the rumor Bet
tied upon theso vessels It had been re
ported that Holt had placed bombs upon
some transatlantic liners.
At 11 o'clock tho American Line an
nounced that It had received a reply
from Captain Mills, of tho Philadelphia,
to a wireless message sent at 1 o'clock
this morning. Tho captain stated that
all baggage aboard the Philadelphia had
been accounted for and identified, and
that hn was positive tho Holt trunk was
not aboard his vessol.
The polko say that 60 sticks of dyna
mite aro missing from lhe lot purchased
Dy Hon. This tends to confirm the story

"GRANDFATHER CLAUSE" IS
USELESS, SAYS WASHINGTON
Negro Educator Declares Decision Is
of No Significance.
Tha decision of the Supreme Court on,
the "grandfather clauses" contained In
the Constitutions of nine Southern States
wilt ntt hayo any great political slgnlfl
cance In the South, In the opinion of
Booker T Washington. The negro edu
cator and founder of Tuskegee Institute
passed through this city today en route
for Atlantic City, where he will oddrtsa
tho Anti-Saloon League Convention.
Concerning the "grandfather-clause"
decision. Doctor Washington said:
"The moral Influence of any law or
court decision that guarantees freedom
roust awaken confidence where- these
qualities havo ben lacking. Politically
speaking, I do not think that the ruling
on the 'grandfather clause will make any
great difference in the South."
In speaking of ths convention at At
lantlo City and the liquor problem of this
country. Doctor Washington continued:
"Ignorance and mm are two of the
worst evils the South ha to Heal, with.
We are making progress, however. We
are endeavoring to teaoh the Negro that
rum is hlf worst enemy When we bball
have aoeomplished this saloons will go
out of business, because there will be no
drnand. It Is our only means of solving
the rum question In the South."

Landlords who attempted to preserve
the reputations of their saloon properties
from a financial standpoint were much In
evidence In tho License Court today.
Many were eager to obtain transfers In
cases where tho present license holders
had forfeited by failure to pay tho $1100
ifcense fee.
But in this they are being stubbornly
opposed by the Philadelphia Lager Beer
Brewers' Association. It Is evident that
the brewers do not believe that the con
tinuation of bad-paying saloons will serve
the best Interests of the trade. In a, let
ter from Franz Ehrllch. attorney for the
brewers, which was read by Judge Staake,
the association asked that transfers In
such cases be refused on the ground that
If a man defaulted payment of his license
fee It Indicated that the Baloon In ques
tion was a bad financial proposition.
Mr, Ehrllch also pointed out that there
wae a presumption that the licenses are
not necessary for the accommodation of
the public and that to overcome this
presumption each applicant should show
to the court special circumstances of such
necessity, and that all of the present
applications should be viewed from thla
Standpoint.
Judge Staake then read a resolution
which the association had adopted to this
effect. The resolution was signed by 18
vrvmiMB tuticeniB ot mis city.
The Judge remarked that tt waa rather
an unusuai document, ana added: "This
court has presumed that failure to take
out a Ucenso Is prime facie evidence that
when money could not be earned to take
out such a license the saloon was not
required In the locality specified "
The Judge said he read the letter so
that D. Clarence Glbboney and the public
could know "how the brewers feel about
It-
There was a list of 10 cases In which
the owners of saloon crooertlei nHiin...H
the court to revive licenses which former
nuiucra uuowea r,o lapse Dy failure to
pay the license within the time limit.
Fo the first time In many years a
woman lawyer appeared In the Lleense
Court. She was A. Florence Yerger. Mis
Yerger represented Giovanni Melonl. who
sought a transfer of the license formerly
hsld by Angelo Exposito, of M6 South
tth street.
Charges "Unprofessional Con
duct in Obtaining Money
Fraudulently" From Client.
TRENTON, July 7. That conduct on
the part of former Judge Simon Hahn, of
Newark, an ex-Assemblyman, toward a
client was unconscionable, oppressive and
fraudulent, and that he should be dis
barred from practicing as a solicitor, was
the gist of a lengthy opinion filed by
Chancellor Walker In the Court of Chan
cery today.
Hahn Is severely condemned by the
court for his "unprofessional conduct In
obtaining money fraudulently."
Chancellor Walker succinctly states the
allegations against Hahn In the syllabus
ot the opinion, In ghlch It appears.
Charles S. Peaker, having made ac
cusations against his wife and named
Charles M Kase, retained Hahn as solici
tor to bring suit for divorce. Instead of
bringing suit Hahn sought Kase and In
formed him that his Instructions were to
demand 125,000 to save him from exposure
which would follow If suit were brought
Hahn offered to refrain from bringing the
suit if the demand were met.
Kase yielded and gave Hahn the
ja.ooo.
Hahn then Informed Peaker that he had
settled the case, but did not tell Peaker
what he had received and gaVe Peuker
$2000, saying that the amount was exclu
sive of Harm's fee and the fee of detec
tives. Hahn gave the 'Gregory Detective
Agency of Newark, which had obtained
evidence, JMOO, keeping the balance of
fli.CtiO tor himself.
