HOLT WAS FRENCH-GERMAN
NEW YORK, July 16—Many new facts are now com
ing out about Holt who shot Morgan and later committed
suicide. When sweated in prison he admitted that he had
dynamited the capitol building ten hours before he shot
Morgan. He wanted Morgan to stop the sale of munitions
and the floating of British loans. The magnate was shot
twice. Holt’s age was forty. He had a wife and two
children and his wife’s father was a Methodist preacher.
His ancestors were French and Germans. Holt was con
sidered by the Cornell students to be a brilliant linguist.
Word was received here today that the Norwegian steam
ship Pym has been torpedoed and sunk in the Notth so.i
by a German submarine. The vessel was a large one and
the loss of life is believed to have been considerable.
GERMANS TAKE CITY
BERLIN, July 1G.—'The Germans have captured the
city of Przasnysz and also Konsya and some other minor
towns in the vicinity. The first named place is an import
ant city directly north of Warsaw and some fifty miles
distant from it so that the German forces may now be re
garded as endeavoring to press in on the Polish capital
from the north, south and west simultaneously. Nothing
has been given out of the operations in southern Poland
since the Germans arrived in the vicinity of Lublin where
the Russians were reported to have adopted offensive
tactics but no uneasiness is felt as it is well know n that t.n
power of the Russians for offensive tactics has been so
weakened that they could not hope foi success against an
army flushed with victory._.

SIOUX FALLS, July 17.—Syver
