he wants tho President publicly to tnke
the pledge for himself and his official
family as the flrst stop in a new nation
wide fight for prohibition
"The Grand Strategy of the Fight" was
tho subject of Hobson's address. In It

tho Anti-Saloon League, at tho meeting
of business men held last Tuesday.
Doctor Russell proposed a fund of
$2,000,000 to fight for prohibition within the

wants a fund of $5,000,000 for this purpose,
and ho would enlist In tho fight all mem
bers of Sunday schools, Bible classes,
churches of every denomination, noman
suffragists .and all temperance societies.
The call last Tuesday for funds was
Issued to wealthy men, many of whom
were millionaires. The call Issued to
day by Hobson was to the rank and
file. Ho asked the members of the or
ganizations he named to underwrite the
great war fund In the name of humanity
and Christianity, nnd painted a glowing
word-picture of the victory that is In
sight. If they agree.
Philadelphia's hosts of anti-saloon sup
porters reached this resort several thou

The death of two Phlladelphlans and
their four relatives, at HummelBtown, on
Monday night, when they were struck
by U Philadelphia and Reading Railway
train at an unprotected grade crossing,
brought censure today by the Coroner's
Jury at Hummelstown upon the Penn

tims of the accident were Mrs. Henry
Cabsel. 4506 North Sth street, and her son
Russell, 7 years old. This is the first time
that the commission has been censured
In such a manner.
It was declared by residents of the
vicinity that the crossing had long been
a dangerous one and has no watchman

The railway was censured because It
did not have a watchman at the cross
ing, and the commission because It did
not compel the railway to provide a
watchman.

HOLT'S ACCOMPLICES
IN TERRORISM PLOT
SOUGHT BY POLICE
Follow Clues Found in Pa
pers of J. P. Morgan's
Assailant Think He
Must Have Had Confed
erates for Crimes.
NEW YORK. July 8. Additional detec
tives were detailed today by the New
York police department to run down ac
complices whom they believe Frank Holt,
dynamiter and assailant of J. P. Mor
gan, had In his operations, The author
ities were acting on clues gained from
papers left by Holt, whose body has been
identified as that of Krlch Mueuter, the
Harvard wife murderer.
The theory of the police Is that Holt
had Intended to launch a campaign of
terrorism. They are convinced that In
this he would have been unable to act
alone, both because of the labor neces
sary to carry out his contemplated out
rages and because his funds were In
sufficient for such a task.
While hunting for tho supposed accom
plices, the police are also continuing their
search for dynamite which Holt bought
and which has not yet been found.
Though messages from the captains of
the liners Saxonla and Philadelphia have
reported both these vessels safe, the au
toritles are not yet certain that bombs
made by Holt were not placed on other
ships leaving New York.
Detective! are searching In both New
York and Long Island for the missing
dynamite. The police admit that Uvea
may still ba In danger from some in
genious bomb device planted by the dyna
miter, Borne of Holt's correspondence, seized
tn Ithaca, is on the way here, and In it
the authorities hope to obtain the names
of his aejoompllcea, who they fear may be
even more dangerous than the man who
killed himself at Mlneola. As a result of
warnings from the New York police, ex
tra guards have been placed on State
capltols In the Bast and over other pub
lio buildings In several cities.
The utmost efforts of the police have
thus far failed to reveal the destination
of the second trunk filled with explosives
shipped by Holt from Long Island at the
time he sent forward the assortment dis
covered in a Wait 36th street storage
house.
The police have failed to obtain an ex
planation of the foot that the explosive
purchased by Holt was 40 per cent dyna
mite, wh)e that he used in UU bomb
const ruction was per cent Their only
rwlble theory under the clrounutancea
that he really bought more than has

cod liver oil ranged from $45 to $50 a barrel. By the close of business on
