NEW YORK. July 7. Authorities
today feared that some steamship
in route to Knglund may have secret
ed in its hold a bomb containing 50
pounds of dynamite placed there by
Frank Holt, who ended his life at
Mineola Jail butt night.
It was learned today that before
Holt shot J P. Morgan he sent a let

sel which sailed from New York July
3 will be blown up today. The utmost
secrecy la being kept regarding the
letter but It is known the authorities
here and at Washington have been In
formed of the dynamite supposed to
be on one of the steamers. Holt was
questioned regarding the disposition
he made of dynamite he was known
to have had In his possession, besides
that found In his suit case. The ef

Telephone System on. North
Side Will be Rebuilt 'Soon
The telephone system on the north
side of Pendleton will be entirely re
build In the Immediate future, ac
cording to an announcement made, to
day by Mannger Edmund Mablc, and
the rebuilding will not only result In
a big Improvement In tho service but
will nlso eliminate much of the un-
slghtllnevis of tho present system
While no announcement has been
made of any further Improvements
contemplated at this time, there la a
general feeling that the rebuilding of
the north side lines is the beginning oi
tho fulfillment of the company's, oft
repeated promise to make the entire
Pendleton system modern and up-to-date.
Manager Mabie has Just received
notice from the headquarters of the
Pacific. Telephone and Telegraph Co.
that the official approval on the es
timate of 15590 for rebuilding the
north side lines has been given. This
approval was made on June 1 and
called for the completion of the work
within sixty days.
All of tho old poles up Jackson
street and upon several side streets
will be replaced with new poles set
against the curb line. Instead of a
hundred or more wires on crossarms,
the poles will carry a single cable In
which will be carried the wires of the
distributing system.
This 160-palr, diminishing cable
will be carried up Jackson street from

Main to a point beyond Grant street
and north of Jackson street there will
be distributing cables on Main, Mad

(Ulalne) streets and south of Jack

on Perkins avenue. An additional
100-pair cable will he strung on Main
street from Court to Jackson.
The entire lead of poles on Jackson
street from Main to Arc will be re
placed with new poles and several ot
the side streets will be similarly Im
proved The stringing of the cable
will eliminate the unsightly maze of
wires overhead. At present there are
four and five crossarms on nearly ev
ery pole and 100 or more wires run
ning over them. Because of the great
number of trees on the north side, the
company Is caused a great deal of
trouble by every wind storm. Sway
ing branches either break tho wires
or cause them to touch each other
and thus cut out a service. To avoid
this, Manager Mable has within the
past year installed a great deal of rubber-covered
wire on the north side, a
considerable Item of expense In Itself.
The present north side system has
been overtaxed to take care of the
growing demands of that section and
the rebuilding will permit the com
pany to extend Its lines. One exten
sion Is planned lo that the new Irv
Ington Heights addition will be pro
vided with service.

desires to learn the minimum modifi

views of the United States. This is
declared to be the main purpose of
unofficial negotiations which were
started by the Berlin foreign office.
Officials said the feeling toward the
United States is extremely friendly,
but it was pointed out that to relin
quish submarine warfare will mean
trouble for the imperial government
at home. The Germans regard the
submarine as the most effective wea
pon with which to combat England's
attemp to starve Germany.

PARIS, July 7 The Germans are
planning a mighty stroke against the.
French in Alsace. Rolling stock ha
been withdrawn on all railways lead
ing to the Swiss frontier and this is
regarded as a preliminary to - new
offensive on the eastern end of tho
long battle line through Belgium and
France.
In the new assault the Germans
wll attempt to drive tile French from
Alsace. Small German reinforce
ments, evidently withdrawn from
elsewhere on the western front, al
ready have appeared in the valley of
the Fecht river.
In connection with preparations
for a new offensive In Alsace, It w4
reported Germany is now working up
on a definite program, which. If suc
cessful, will have as Its conclusion
overtures of peace. The program is
reported to provide for the comple
tion of the drive against the Rus-
S'ans In Galicia; isolation of the Rus
sians in eastern Galicia from the Slav
forces In Poland, with probably a
new offensive against Warsaw; an
offensive to free German territory of
the enemy by driving the French
from Alsace and then peace over
