COMMANDER FALLS AT WHEEL
Qt'EfcNSTOWX. July 6. With
nine dead sailor stretched on Its
deck, eight men lying wounded be
low and Its sides riddled with shot
and shell, the British steamship
Anglo-Callfornlan steamed into
Queenstowo harbor this morning
after having withstood the attack, of
a German submarine for four hours.
The ship's escape from destruction was
accomplished with no other means of i
defense than the Indomitable spirit of
tt raptaln anil craw, combined with
masterly seamanship, ahlch enabled It
to frustrate tte efforts of Ita sssallsnt
to torpedo It.
Son Take Father' IMace.
The story of how Captain I'srslon
Hood on the bridge of the Anglo-rail-fornlan.
amidst a rain of shot and ralmlv
directed the movement of hii ship
until h was killed by shell, end of
how his place was taken by hta ann
until British destroyers appeared and
the aubmaiine waa compelled to flee,
fold by th turvlvora.
The Anglo-Callfornlan left Montreal
for ths PrltlKh lalea on June 24. The
aubmarlne was sighted at i o'rlook Inat
Sunday morning. Captain Taralow or
dered full steam ahead and wireless
i alia for sssletame were sent out.
The aubmarlne on the surface proved
to be a far spewllrr raft than the
steamer and rapidly overhauled It, mean
while deluging It with shells. One shot
put the wireless apparatus on the Anglo
t allfornlan out of action. Finding he
could not eecape by running for it. Cap
tain Parslow devoted Ma attention to
maneuvering hla ship to prevent the sub
marine from ualng torpedoes effectively.
Captain Brave Mae.
' Our captain was a brave man," aald
one of the narrators. "He kept at hla
peat on the bridge, .-oolly glvln? orders
' the submarine circled around us,
vainly Seeking to get a poaltla from
which It could give ua a death blow with
torptdoea. All the while the underwater
, boat continued to rain ahot and shell
upon ua and at times was ao close that
It waa able to employ Ita (una effec
tively. .'At last one shell blew the captain
off the bridge, killing him outright and
terribly mutilating Mm. Just before
that he had given orders to launch the
hosts, but this waa very difficult under
the shell fire. Several men were etruck
down while working at the davits. Ul
timately four boata were got overboard
and were rowed away ur.til picked up."

FRANK HOLT TRIES
TO KILL HIMSELF
(Continued from Page One.)
promptness with whlob Holt's at
tempt was discovered, he lost a con
siderable quantity of blood.
Aaka for Lead Penrll.
Holt spent a restless night, tossing
about on hla cot from whloli he had been
unable to rise during the day. and mut
tering to himself st interval. His keep
er had taken from him his belt his sus
penders and every article in his posse
salon with which they thought he could
have attempted suicide. He had seemed
to be so eapondent during tlie day that
a atiiot watch had been kept upon him.
After several hour ha puaid wtlhout
sleep during the early night. Holt called
to an attendant and asked for a lead
pencil. He aald he wanted to write to
his wife. A lead pencil was. brought to
him and a few moments later a pad of
paper. The attendant remained In the
cell a few minutes, and Holt, turning
on his left side, apparently atsrted to
write.
The attendant then left Within less
than five minutes hs passed ths door of
Holt's cell again. He then noticed that
Holt seemed to be In pain, entered the
cell and found blood flowing from a
lagged rut In his wrist.
After the flow of blood had been cheeked
and the wound bandaged, the keeper and
Warden Hulae searched for the pencil.
They found it on the cot. Holt had es
treated the rubber eraser from the tip of
the pencil and with his teeth had bit the
metal which held the rubber In position
until the edges mst. . The result waa a
fairly sharp weapon with a blade perhaps
a quarter of an inch long.
Did Not Reach, Artery.
Apparently Holt had not reached the
artery. He had cut a vein, however, and
from this the blood was folwlng. To the
warden'a queatlon as to why he had at
tempted to kill himself, Holt refused to
reply.
Dr. Guy Cleghorn, the jail physician,
waa not aummoned because of the Iste
ness of thn hour and the evident fact
that the attempt had been aucceaafully
checked. He waa to hare visited Holt
some time during the forenoon todsy,
The bandage still remained on Holt's
wrist today and It was said that Dr.
Clcghoin's attention would be called to
the wound.
Holt waa cheered aomewhat today by
the receipt of a telegram from hla . wife
at Dallas. It read: "Have best counsel
here. Advised to rest and wait. ' Ton
must do the same, fiend loving greetings
hourly. Beautiful tribute to you in both
evening papers here. I am tarrying for
details of our finances. I will come
when you need me. Do not be afraid.
Beat,"
The telegram was algned "Leone."
sfertrea Still loaproelac
The condition of Mr. Morgan, who la
recovering from the to wounda In hla
left hip Inflicted by bullets from Holt s
revolver, continued to Improve. It was
said Mr. Morgan felt so much better that
he wanted to get up, but that thla was
not approved by hia physicians. The
physicians feel so encouraged by hla
progress that they have virtually reached
a decision to issue no more bulletlne on
his condition.
Callers from Cambridge, Mssa, were
expected at Mltteola today to see Holt
with a view to determining If he re
sembles closely Fnrlrh Muenter, who dis
appeared from Harvard in lluf after the
death of hla wife from alleged poisoning.
Mar Be Taken tw Hoepttal.
Holt was considered to be In such a
serious physical condition from loa of
blood and refusing to eat, that forcrble
feeding and hla removal to the Nasaau
county hoapttsl at Mlneola were con
sidered at a conference of county of
ficials.
"I have never seen a man In worse con
dition." said District Attorney Iewla J.
Smith. "Holt la very weak and I ahould
not be surprised if he died. I do not
know whether he la trying to sUrva htm-
self or not. but I do know that ha ia not
eating and that he has lost much
blood."
Charles B, Apted ssalstant auperln-1
t and en t of buildings at Cambridge, Maaa.,
who knew Muenter at Harvard nearly
ten years sgo, reached Mlneola today
to see hot her Holt and Muenter were
the same men. Mr. Aptol visited Holt
In his cell and remained there a few
mln-itee, but did not attempt, because of
Holt's weakened condition, to queatlon
him. ...
"There is a remarkable striking re
semblance between this man and Muen
tar." Mr. Apted said.
"But it has been nine yeara sines I
saw Muauter and I cannot say positively
that Holt Is the man. He certainty
looks yry muck like Muenter, hewever."
Chart R. Mood, an assistant dlitrtct
attorney of Maasau county, who knew
Muenter at Ha-vard, viaUed Holt again
todsy in sn effort to eatablUh hi
identity, if poaslblc. M:. Wood laid that
he was rtlll unable to say whether Holt
and Muentcr were tho same.'
Evidence Gathers
Frank Holt's Real
Name E. Muenter
GLBN COVK. X. T., July ,The evi
dence that has been accumulating to
support the theory that Holt and Muen
ter are same person ws strengthened
by the announcement today that an ex
amination of Holts body had revealed
scare which correspond to a description
received by the authorities here today of
scsrs which Muenter bore on his body.
The scars In Muenter's case were said
to have been due to an operation.
Alienists have been asked to come here
to make an examination of Holt's men
tal condition to determine whether he la
sane. Dr. Crclghton aald he believed
Holt was Buffering either from paranolt
and dementia praceo. Dr. Carlos Mo
Donald and Austin Flint, who have been
held In readiness to testify for the stote
at the trial in New York to test the
sanity of Harry K. Thaw, have been
asked to come and might arrive late this
