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

ter to the authorities declaring a ves

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

"His entire skull, from Just above

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.

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

Officials said the feeling toward the

PARIS, July 7 The Germans are

planning a mighty stroke against the.

French in Alsace. Rolling stock ha

been withdrawn on all railways lead

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

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

forces In Poland, with probably a

new offensive against Warsaw; an

offensive to free German territory of
