WIRELESS REACHES OUT TO SEA
The powerful wireless stations of
the Xavy Department were enlisted in
the efforts to prevent tlie threatened
disaster at sea. 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. The Saxonia had not re
plied. Her failure to do so was at
tributed to the weakness of her wire

New York. July 7.—Frank Holt, |
the man who shot J. P. Morgan, lay,
dead to-day in an undertaker's estab
lishment at Hempstead. Long Island.:
and the New York police had in their I
possession his trunk, containing 13 4
half-pound sticks of dynamite with
which they believe he planned to
wreck public buildings in New York
and other cities.
An autopsy early to-day established
the fact that Holt committed suicide
by leaping front the top of his cell j
door in the Mineola, Long Island jail:
while the keeper's back was turned'
last night.
Walter R. Jones, the Mineola coro
ner, issued a statement after an autop
sy had been performed by the prison
physician. He said:
"Holt his death by a com
pound fracture of the skull and cere
bral hemorrhage caused by a fall."
Holt's suicide followed closely upon
the discovery of evidence tending to
confirm the suspicion that he was
Erich Muenter. the former Harvard
instructor who was accused of poison
ing his wife in 1906. This was the
day set f~r Holt's preliminary arraign-;
ment on the charge of shooting Mr. j
Morgan.
Investigation was in progress to-'
day to ascertain whether hig suicide!

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.

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.

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

true.

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."

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,

Divergent claims come, from A'ienna

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

upon the Italian position on Avos

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

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
