C SAUNDERS, Beans PRANK HOLT KHJLS HIMSELF IN JAIL. --mien Cve, K. July 6. Frank Holt, the" CorneU'UniveTsity ofes spr, who shot P. .Morgan In his 16me near Glent Cove la-t Saturday, committed suicfde in tne jail at Min eola tonight. While several of the jail authori ties declare that Holt killed himself by climbing through the opening at the top of his cell door and then plungiDg 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 Dody. There were manj conflicting re ports as to the manner in which Holt met his death, but it was definitely established through Dr. Clenghorn. thf jail physician, that Holt died of a iractured skull. Several of those about the jail said they heard an explosion, the re port coming from Holt's cell. This noise, it was believed, was due to the falling of beards from the top of the cell. Jeremiah O'Ryan, the keeper de tailed 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 ceil but it was dark. Entering, he found Holt's body in a pool of blood in the corner. The excitement that followed the noise brought Warden Hulse and other jail authorities to the scene. District Attorney Lewis J. Smith and Dr. Cleghorn, together with several constables, were soon on the scene and immediately began an investiga tion. 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. 1 An explosion which would have blown his head off would have fol lowed an attempt by Holt to chew a percussion cap, the physician said. A thorough examination of Holt's cell failed, according to the jail au thorities, to disclose any weapon or implements of any kind which Holt could have used to kill himself. Coroner Walter R. Jones, after viewing the body, said: "Undoubtedly a suicide, and un doubtedly the man jumped. I can not give an official version until an autopsy is performed by the jail phy sician, Dr. Cleghorn. 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 effect that he was not sure if 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 had killed himself by jumping from the top of his cell into the court below and that while doing so he had dis lodged a couple of boards which fell to the floor with a loud report. District Attorney Smith reached Holt's cell immediately after arriv ing at the jail and found a letter written on yellow paper. This let ter, which Holt must have written before he attempted suicide early this morning when the pencil with which he tried to sever an artery was taken from him, was addressed to "my dears" and follows: "I must write once more. The more I think about it the more I see the uselessness of living under cir cumstances such as these. Bring up the dear babies in the love of God and man. God bless you, my sweet. Affectionately, Frank." "p- s- All please pardon me for all the heartache I have brought you. Pray with me that the slaughter will stop. My heart breaks. Good bye." Search in Vain For the Slayer of Georgia Man. Macon, Ga., July 5. An all day search by officers and an armed posse of farmers failed today to re veal the whereabouts of the negro slayers of Silas Turner, 'prominent planter of Jones county, who was shot Sunday near Round Oak. Two negroes were killed by infuriated friends of Turner shortly after the murder, but quiet prevailed in the county tonight and the authorities said they expected no further trouble. 1 Sheriff Etlleridge said he had heard that several negroes had been killed in the race riot Sunday night, but that he had seen the bodies of only two, Alonzo Green and his young son, of Wayside. 'They had nothing to do with the murder of Silas Turner," added the sheriff. Tired, Aching Muscles Relieved Hard work, overexertion, mean stiff, sore muscles.

Raymond Poincare, the president of the republic, Alexandre Millerand, the minister of war, fheophile Del casse, minister for foreign affairs, the prefect of police and the prefect of the Seine were represented. The ministers of the republics of Argen tina, Brazil and Chile also were present. H. Cleveland Coxe, a delegate of the Empire State Society of the Sons of the Revolution, draped the tomb with the Stars and Stripes and de posited around it a wreath and flowers. - " William ' Graves Sharp, American ambassador to France, made a speech, briefly alluding to the sym pathies of Americans for the "Nation that gave birth to so noble a figure as Lafayette." "I can easily understand the nobil ity of Lafayette's character because I see behind me all these days figures patterned on his model. The asso ciation of the names of Washington and Lafayette more than ever are ap propriate today when the curse of war like a dark threatening cloud lowers over the noble nation from which Lafayette sprang." Referring further to the war and addressing those French present, Mr. Sharp said: "Among all your noble citizens to day is there any doubt that France will survive? No, because your des tinies are guided not by an only but by . a thousand Lafayettes. Yes, France will survive - and become greater and more beautiful than ever." Alluding to the simplicity of the tombs of both Lafayette and Wash ington, Ambassador Sharp conclud ed: "No tall shafts rise towards the clouds to perpetuate their memories. Their monuments are in the loving, grateful hearts of their fellow men." Frederic Masson, of the French Academy, historian of the Napoleonic epoch, delivered an oration in which he acknowledged the smypathy of Americans. He compared the effort trance was making today "fighting for the liberty of Europe" to the war for independence in the colo nies. M. Masson paid eloquent tribute to the Marquise de Lafayette for her devotion to her husband in the trying days of the Revolution, leaving for tune and luxury to share his prison in Austria. Penn Tobacco Company Will Enlarge Plant. The F. R. Penn branch of the American Tobacco Company has def initely decided to enlarge its manu facturing plaat at Reidsville and will at once begin the erection of a large addition comprising 12,000 square feet of floor space': It will add at least 300 operatives to the pay roll of the Reidsville plant. For some time the company has been unable to fully supply the demand for tobacco and at this time is said to be nearly 1,000,000 pounds behind in filling orders. The new building will adjoin the present building on the northwest corner, three stories and basement, 50x59 feet. It will cost about $20, 000, not including equipment. Ma terial has already been ordered and work will begin as soon as possible. It is hoped to have the new building completed and the new machinery in stalled in five or six weeks. Alleged Sulfide Snows Cp. Wilmington, July 6. It is report ed in Wilmington on good authority that young Matt Walker, who about four years ago, in a sensational manner, was reported to have com mitted suicide by jumping from the railroad trestle over Bank's channel at Wrightsville Beach at a late hour one night, returned to Burgaw yes terday and is visiting relatives in Pender county. Walker left a note purporting to assign a reason for his deed and at that time he carried large life insurance policies, payable to his relative, Alex Rowe, who has since left the city. These policies have never been paid in full and it has been reported here from time to time that Walker was still alive and living in Florida. Should be in Every Home.

Baker, general superin tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, said the league aimed to have the prohibition amendment inserted in the national constitutions bet ore the next congressional apportionment is made, following the census of 1920, as there will be an increase in the membership in the house of repre- f sentatives and much of the increase will come from the larger cities, J where prohibition is not so strong as it is in less populated communi ties. Bishop Luther B. Wilson, of the Methodist Episcopal church, was re elected president of the league today. Nine of the 12 vice presidents were re-elected. New members are Rev.
