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.

"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.

HERE'S HOLT, THE MAN WHO ATTEMPTED TO TAKE THE LIFE OF BANKER MORGAN The whack over the head dealt by the butler, who wielded a coal scuttle, probably saved the financier's life. ( : t XV , &Vyr Diit ft v. "S l? i 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.

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.
