15 SUICIDE l!l JAIL
Holt Is Found With
His Skull Fractured.
CONFUSION FOLLOWS AGT
Stories of Jail Officials Differ
as to Details.
LONG FALL IS REPORTED
Keeper Declares Prisoner Was Unusually-
Cheerful Early In Even
ing; Letter Left Bidding Good
Bye to His Family.
MINEOLA, N. T., July 6. Frank Holt,
the Cornell University professor -who
shot J. P. Morgan in his home near
Glen Cove, last Saturday, committed
suicide in the jail here tonight.
While several of the jail authorities
declared that Holt killed himself by
climbing through the opening at the
top of his cell door and then plunging
to the narrow court below. Holt's
keeper said he was positive that the
prisoner was killed in his own cell,
where he said he found the body.
Prisoner's Skull Fractured.
There were many conflicting reports
as to the manner in which Holt met
his death, but it was definitely estab
lished through Dr. Cleghorn. the jail
physician, that Holt died of a frac
tured skull.
Several of those about the jail said
they heard an explosion, the report
coming from Holt's cell. This noise. It
was believed, was due through the fall
ing of boards from the top oC the cell.
Jeremiah O'Ryan, the keeper who
was detailed to watch Holt, said he
was 15 feet away from the cell when
he heard a loud report. He looked in
the direction of the cell, but it was
dark. Entering, he found Holt's body
in a pool of blood in the corner.
Kirltcnirat Followa Noise.
-The excitement that followed the
noiae brought Warden Hulse and other
jail authorities to the scene. District
Attorney Smith and Dr. Cleghorn, to
gether with several constables, were
summoned and immediately began an
investigation.
Dr. Cleghorn denied a report that
Holt had killed himself by chewing a
percussion cap. He repeated that death
was caused by a fracture at the top
of the skulL An explosion, which would
have blown his head off, would have
followed an attempt by Holt to chew
a percussion cap, the physician said.
A thorough examination of Holt's
cell failed to disclose, according to the
jail authorities, any weapon or imple
ments of any kind which Holt could
have used to kill himself.
Suicide Kvideat. Says Coroner.
Coroner Jones, after viewing the
body, said:
"Undoubtedly a suicide, and un
doubtedly the man jumped."
The body was taken to the morgue
in Hempstead, where Dr. Cleghorn was
prepared immediately to perform an
autopsy.
The autopsy is expected to disprove
a report current here immediately after
the finding of Holt's body that he had
been killed from the outside. This was
vnly one of a number of reports reach
CFs the authorities.
Keeper O'Ryan declared that Holt
appeared unusually cheerful early in
the evening. He couldn't understand
why Holt should write a letter, which
was found after his death, in which
Holt addressed presumably his wife and
children as follows:
"My Dears I mucst write to you
once more. .The more I think about
it. the more I see tlie utter uselessness
of living under these circumstances.
Bring up the dear babies in fear of
God and man. Good-bye, my sweet.
Affectionately, FRANK."
Cell Keeper In 1ncertnln.
An evidence of the great confusion
which followed the report and the
finding of Holt's body was a second
statement by Keeper O'Ryan to the ef
fect that he was not sure whether
, Holt's body was found in his cell or
in the corridor.
This tended to strengthen the theory
of District Attorney Smith and Warden
Hulse that Holt killed himself by jump
ing from the top of his cell into the
court below and that while doing so
he had dislodged a couple of boards.
which fell to the floor with a loud re
port.
Holt earlier in the day had admitted
to detectives that he had not told the
truth when he said he made the Cap
itol bomb out of sulphuric acid and
match heads, and said also that he did
not tell the truth about his movements
la Washington and New York.
dK pinH sSuiprrofl
He made these admissions when con
fronted by evidence tending to show
that he made the Capitol bomb in a
bungalow which he rented here about
ten days ago. The admissions followed
the positive identification by Lewis Ott
of Holt as the man wbo had rented the
bungalow. Ott said he found numerous
bottles with corks punctured in the
center, small vials and pictures of a
dozen public buildings throughout the
country, three of which were marked.
Frank McKahill, a local constable,
who accompanied the detectives in the
search of the bungalow, said that the
marked buildings were the New York
Public Library and the Capitol build
ings at Albany, N. Y. and Uarrisburg.

Of f ieial Prosnosticator Takes Chance
Old Ilhyme Holds True and Leav
ens Fair Forecast Accordingly.
Rainbow at nigh'., sailors' delight:
Rainbow in morning, sailors' warning.
This bit of old rhyme was upheld
yesterday by Edward A. Beats, weather
forecaster for this district, when after
a generous downpour of rain shortly
after 5 o'clock, Mr. Beats made ob
servations, ran his fingers through bis
hair, and proceeded to write into the
weather forecast for today:
"Wednesday showers followed by
fair weather."
Whether Mr. Beats put his faith in
the old maritime tradition about rain
bows or whether he made the forecast
on strictly scientific data it doesn't
matter, but the significant fact remains
that Portland was visited by two beau
tiful rainbows yesterday afternoon and
fair weather is predicted for today.
There were two generous showers
yesterday. The first fell at 4:10 to 4:26
P. M. and for the benefit of statistical
fans, it was heaviest between 4:19 and
4:i2. During these three minutes .09
inch was measured at the weather
office.
The second shower began at 5:15
o'clock and ended at 5:32. for a total
of .24 of an inch. The showers didn't
break any previous record, but each
was a lively downpour of rain.
The rainbows which followed were
beautiful and distinct and stretched
practically entirely across ' the sky.
They were the objects of much com
ment and sky-gazing while they lasted.

PARIS. July 6. The Bank of
France has been compelled to desig

gold offered in exchange for notes in
consequence of the invitation to the
public to turn in its private hoards of
gold so as to strengthen the national
reserve.
Long lines of persons waited In
front of the institution all day yester
day and were there again today. The
largest sum exchanged was 685,000

The usual amounts were 1000 or
2000 francs. The certificates given for
the gold bore an inscription saying
that the exchange was made for "na

GERMAN PROPOSAL
IS HOT APPROVED
Outline Sent by Am
bassador Gerard
TENTATIVE OPINION ASKED
Washington Views Assent as
Sacrifice of Rights.
CABINET IS CONSULTED
Important Changes In Berlin Keply
Regarded as Necessary Before
Critical Aspect of Negotia
tions Is Removed.
WASHINGTON. July C. Germany has
submitted Informally to the United
States through Ambassador Gerard in
Berlin, a tentative draft of its reply
to the note of June 9, which asked for
assurances that American rights on the
high seas would not be violated further
by German submarine commanders.
After careful examination of the con
tents of the proposed note as outlined
by Ambassador Gerard, which coincides
with Berlin press dispatches of the
last few days, high officials practically
are agreed that the United States can
not, without sacrificing important neu
tral rights, express its approval of the
German proposals in their present
form.
Opinion Mot to Be Eraift
The draft mas shown to Ambassa
dor Gerard with the idea of elicit
ing from him an expression of opinion,
and he promptly asked for Instruc
tions from Washington as to whether
the United States could make conces
sions. rresldnt Wilson has been ad
vised of the situation In several long
messages sent to his Summer residence
at Cornish, N. H., and the impression
obtained tonight from reliable quarters
was that the American Government
prooably would Instruct -its Am. u -
dor within a day or two to decline to
express any view until after the formal
riply Is delivered to him.
Just what Germany proposed has not
been officially divulged. Secretary
Lansing today took the position that it
would not be proper for him to dis
close Germany's position as informally
reported by Mr. Gerard without au
thorization from the Berlin govern
ment Conditional Annan area Proposed.
From Berlin dispatches and authori
tative sources here, it is learned, how.
ever, that the note as drafted by the
German foreign office, with Emperor
William's subsequent approval would
give assurances that Americans might
travel with safety on the high seas
on certain conditions Imposed by Ger
many, such as the marking of bellig
erent vessels carrying Americans, noti
fication by the United States to Ger
many of the date of departure and

SALEM. Or- July . (Special.) De
claring that the European war was
atarted by Germany to obtain tha Iron
resources of Itelglum and Franca and
protect herself. Dr. Newell Dwlgbt
HUUs. ot New York, speaking at the
Chautauqua here today, said the con
flict could be aptly called "the Iron
ar." lie said that Germany realized
bar Iron resources In Alsace and Lor
raine would be exhausted In :i years,
and she believed It necessary to obtain
Iron lands elsewhere. He declared that
Germany really did not care for Paris,
and that she had won her first victory
when she captured the Iron mines of
lielKium and France.
"But Germany Is destined to lose."
continued Dr. Hillls. "When I think
of the devastation he has wroucht In
Belgium I tremble for Germany, ihe
realised that her rolling mills would be
Idle in SS years and she sought t ie
Iron of Relglum and France.
"I think the United Statea made an
everlasting blunder when aha did not.
Ith other civilised nations, protext
against Germany's violation of Bel
glum." Dr. Hints said that the population of
America soon would bo increased from
100,000.000 to li0.000.000. lie thoucht
this country eventually would own
Mexico and South America, because
I'nited States citizens are inv -ng
largely In both countries. Eventually.
he thought, the Willamette Valley
would have a population nf 1 0.001,000.
APOLOGY MADE SWEDEN
Russia Saja l"o Canned Violation of
Neutrality In Rat He.
LONDON. July . The Russian SOT
ernment has apologised to Sweden for
the violation of the latter nations neu.
trality. due to the fact that a stray
shell "accidentally" fell within Sweden's
waters, oxins to a fog during the pur
putt of German exels. eays a Iteuter
dispatch from l'elrocrad.
The German minelayer Albatross was
badly punished by Ruislan warships In
the naval battle In tha Baltic tea on
July 2 and fled Into Swedish territorial
waters, where he wag run aground
near lienvlker. RusMsii ships pursued
her. It was reported, within the three
mile limit.
Tuesdays War Moves
WITH the exception of certain sec
tors between the Vistula and
the Bug. the Austro-Uerman rush In
the eastern war aona seems to be losing
momentum. The Russians have braced
themselves and are holding at most
points along their line, although th
Auatrlans tell of continuous progress
to the northeast of Kraemk and farther
east, along tha River Vleprx, In the
neighborhood of Tarnogrod.
This Is a critical sector so far as a
ncrthward blow at Warsaw Is con
cerned, but It la evident that the Itua
e.ans are stiffening their rt. tance
after their long retreat, and the Br-llah
ireas. for tha first tl.. la w.-eks.
takes a more cheerful view of the east
ern situation,
Tha last It hours have brought many
renewed rumors that the Germans are
planning to launch a new olfcnslve In
Ihe west, their aim being to duplicate
their Gallcian tactics snd break
through to Calais at ail costs. Reports
to this effect came almost simultane
ously from Zurich. Bruaacla. I'arla and
Amsterdam. London papera givo theru
prominence, although how much Is
Kuesswork and how much Is l-ased on
facts It Is impossible to determine. Ac
cording to the Zurich report, ten lier
"an army corps, who have been recu
perating from the rigors of the Ga.l
cian campaign, are now moving west
ward ftora the interior.
The latest advices from General Sir
Ian Hamilton, commander at the Dar
danelles, tovk the Anglo-French expe
dition nu further forward, but made
plain the gallantry of the RrltinU and
French troops, who are flshtlng under
almost Insurmountable difficulties.
It la noteworthy that today's Berlin,
official communication speaka only of
a gain on the northern Poland front,
leaving the southeastern field entirely
to the Austrians, who in their official
statement emphasise that an advance
on the center between the Vistula and
the Bug was made by "Auslriana,"
The quiet which had prevailed on the
British front In Flanders so long has
been broken by a British gain of Ger
mau trenches to the north of Yprea
Trio advance was made after typical
trench warfare tactlca, backed by
French artillery.
This part of the western front still
