In answer to the warn ing there was received to-day a mes sage from the captain of the Phila delphia which said that everything altoard had been identified and that all was well.

Detectives Searching For Missing Dynamite By Associated Press Glen Clove. X. Y., July 7. —The au thorities of Nassau county joined the New York city detectives to-day in a ralnstaking search for more than twenty-five pounds of dynamite known to have been delivered to and unac counted for by Frank Holt, the assail ant of J. P. Morgan and the man who set the bomb in the United States Capitol last Friday, who committed suicide during the night by jumping twenty feet from an iron bar on the side of his cell to the floor. In the belief that the missing explo sive might have been placed aboard a steamship leaving this port prior to last Saturday, a warning by wireless v.-afc spread over the Atlantic during the night by plants along the eastern seaboard. The trunk found last night In a storage room above a livery stable and garage in West Thirty-eighth street In WEDNESDAY EVENING, LITTLE "BILLY" CONDREN St -Jj|B fin ■Pp ? i • *» .. • ? . 3 After suffering four weeks from burns received while playing around a "bonfire," little "Billy" Condren. of 264 Peffer street, died this morning. "Billy" was six years old and attended the Cameron school building. He was a good scholar and was known and loved by all the neighborhood. The picture shows him having the time of his life. New York city contained 134 sticks <67 pounds* out of 2000 sticks of dyna mite known to have been shipped to and received by Holt under the alias of C. Hendricks recently. Six sticks were used, it seemed established to da>. by Holt when he went to Wash ington. Three of these six sticks of dynamite were used, according to Holt's statement, in making the bomb placed in the Capitol; the other three sticks were found in a suitcase and on the lawn of J. P. Morgan's estate. This would leave sixty sticks, or thirty pounds, of the explosive unac counted for. Although Holt as quoted as saying that he had used these sixty sticks in his experiments in the house lie rented at Central Park. Long Island, this statement was not be lieved. Nor did the condition of the promises at Central Park indicate that explosives had been used, although it was believed possible that Holt might have destroyed several sticks in his experiments there. Where the remainder of the ship ment was erlgased practically the en tile attention of the district attorney's detectives to-day. Holt's Keeper Tells Story of the Suicide Glen Cove. July 7. Jeremiah O'Ryan. the keeper who was on guard at Holt's cell when Holt committed suicide, had recovered his composure to-day sufficiently to give a connected story of what happened. O'Ryan said that he had been employed by Sheriff Pettit to guard the prisoner on the stipulation that he watch him from 8 o'clock at night till 8 in the morning. Last night at the specified hour O'Ryan went to the entrance of Holt s cell. Holt seemed to be cheerful. "I had some food to-day and man aged to retain it on my stomach," O'Ryan said Holt told him. "I feel much better now but I must get some sleep. These detectives have been coming in and asking me all kinds of questions and they have been bother ing me day and night. I must get sleep. I have got an important state ment to make and I must be able to convince people that what I say is O'Ryan said he told Holt to go true. ahead and sleep and that Holt turned over on his side, with his back to O'Ryan and remained there for about an hour. At the end of that time O'Ryan heard a noise in the next cor ridor. He glanced at Holt and saw that he had changed his position so that he was facing the door, but ap parently Holt was sleeping. O'Ryan then crept, he says, on his hands and knees down the corridor to check the disturbance so that Holt might sleep. He looked into the other corridor and found there was nothing there. As he was about to start back. O'Ryan said, he heard a noise that sounded like a revolver shot. "I ran back to the cell and said to myself, tie's done it. Somebody slip ped him a gun.' I looked into his cell and didn't see him. Then I thought that maybe he had been shot from the outside, 1 said to myself, "he might shoot me.' So I drew my revolver and went into the cell, expecting him to jump at me. It was dark and I couldn't see him. I tripped and fell, when i looked down I saw that I had had fallen over his body." 30 of 100 Pounds of Dynamite Missing NEW York.

NATIONAL VOTE ON PROHIBITION URGED [Continued from First Paae.] prohibition. The hoard also passed a resolution urging legislation that will prevent the US' of the mails for the advertising of intoxicating liquors In dry territory. Another resolution adopted com mended President Wilson for refusing to renounce, despite strong pressure, a letter he is said to have written while governor of New Jersey to a citiien of Texas in which Mr. Wilson is said to have declared that state prohibition is proper where public sentiment is ripe for it. Members of the league were urged in another resolution to call upon con gressional representatives in their re spective districts to support any meas ure that will bring about national pro hibition. The text of the resolutions will not be made public until they are read to the convention of the league In session here this week. Two interesting addresses were made at the morning session of the convention, one by the Rev. Father Curran, of Wilkes-Barre, and the other by ex-Governor Foss, of Massa chusetts. Father Curran, who pre sided. said the reason, in his opinion, why Catholics as a body have held aloof from the Anti-Saloon League movement was because they were too conservative. He added that the tide was now turning. Father Curran fur ther said that he desired to arouse the Catholics of the country to the impor tance of the Anti-Saloon League in the fight against the liquor traffic. Governor Foss in his speech inti mated that the political parties in their national conventions next vear will come face to face with the ques tion of prohibition. Local option, he said, was an absurd failure, but the only way to stop industrial deeav in tnis country is through national pro hibition.

[LE.TTERSTOTHE EDITOR SCHMIDT T81.1.S Allot T THE BIIEAU SITUATION Schmidt's Bread Bakery, Eighteenth and Holly Streets, Harrisburg, Pa. To the Editor of the Tele^rafh: Dear Sir: Referring to the article in this morning's Patriot in reference to the weight of bread, naturally loaves of bread made in Harrisburg are lighter now than they were a year ago. As a rule high grade flour only is used by the Harrisburg bakeries. The lower grade of flour is seldom used by any bakery in Barrisburg. A year ago, or rather before the war, high grade flour sold at about $5 a har rel. Mnee then it has been raised to as hiph as $9 a barrel, and at the pres ent time it Is somewhat lower, averag ing about $7.50 a barrel. The weight of our bread at the pres ent time averages from twelve to thir ten ounces for the wrapped loaf of bread. The unwrapped bread will aver age a little more, as it costs a quarter of a cent to wrap a loaf of bread. Bread which Is wrapped is made a trifle smaller to offset this cost. Early last winter there were agitations about rais ing the price of bread from flve to six cents a loaf; in fact, quite a few baker ies In other towns really did raise the price to six cents a loaf. The bakeries of Harrisburg stuck to the old price, which was five cents, and gave the public a fair size loaf and a loaf of good quality. A good many bakeries of Harrisburg had flour booked ahead and for that reason they could give a little larger loaf for the time being, but after this flour supply was exhausted they naturally had to go into the mar ket and buy flour at the high price. Bread bakers in other cities sur rounding Harrisburg. Philadelphia in cluded. have made the loaves very much smaller and the quality of the bread is not as good as that baked in Har risburg. A certain baker from Phila delphia sends bread to Harrisburg, which hardly ever weighs more than twelve ounces. This can be proven. Bread which is baked in Harrisburg is being sent to all parts of Pennsyl vania. some parts of Maryland, parts of Virginia and West Virginia. Dela ware and New Jersey, which seems to indicate that Harrisburg bakeries are giving the people all in quality and size of loaves that can be expected for the money. On the other hand, there is very little bread shipped from other cities to the surrounding towns of Harrisburg. It is a fact, and can be proven, that there are several bakeries in Harrisburg and vicinity that have made no money and can even show a deficiency for the last two or three months. Hence, it would seem as though the bakeries of Harris burg are giving Just as much bread, considering the quality, as they can for the price. Very truly vours, i.Signed 1 BERNARD SCHMIDT.

Divergent claims come, from A'ienna and Rome ns to the situation on the Austro-Italian front. Italian head quarters re|>orts infliction of severe losses upon the Austrian* in counter attacks on the Carnic frontier, the re pulse of attacks along the Tyrol-Tren tino line and of a determined assault upon the Italian position on Avos tano peak. The most recent Austrian official statement declares the Italians have been on the offensive and have been repulsed in attacks at several points. Unofficial dispatches from Italy em phasized the violence of the lighting along the Austrian frontier and de clare the troops of that nation are making a determined attempt to open the way to Tarvis, regarded as the key to interior Austria. In Caiu-asus the Russians report having checked a Turkish attempt at an offensive west of Ahlavat. French destroyers have been oper ating on the Asia Minor coast sinking Turkish vessels and inflicting other damage. Heavy lighting in West I.ast night saw a continuance of heavy fighting along the western front. The French, in the official report from Paris, claim to have repulsed German attacks north of Arras and on the heights of the Meuse. Near St. Mihiel, at the point where the Germans have maintained their salient since the early months of the war, German troops were successful in penetrating the first line of French defenses along a front of seven hun dred yards. In the Le Pretre forest a German at tack preceded by the hurling of flam ing liquids, was repulsed, according to the French official report. In the Dardanelles Turkish troops in a general attack on the Dardanelles expeditionary force on July 5 were mown down in masses, and failed to drive home the assault, according to the French War office, which to-day gave out an announce ment describing the engagement. The statement declares the attack was the most Important delivered since early Alay, and that it was launched with the purpose of driving the invaders into the sea. A Turkish cruiser in the Dardanelles took part in the engagement, as did the batter ies on the Asiatic shore. Aviators were active; T irkish airmen bombard ing the French and British lines and French and British flyers throwing down bombs on Turkish positions.
