TO MAKE OWN TIRES TOO
Detroit, July 3. The erection of a !
factory In which all tlrs used on Kord 1
automobiles will be manufactured and I
the building of a blast furnace and n
motor plant, all to be surround! d by a
model city for the emploees, are
among several projects to be undertaken
soon, according to an announcement
made by Henry Ford to-day.
For some time Mr. Ford has been con
sidering means to prevent the waste
which comes from the reduction of Iron
Into "pigs" and the melting of the "pigs"
to be poured Into moulds for the making
of castings.
Recently he hit upon the Idea of
operating his own system of ore laden
boats from Lake Superior to a dock
near Detroit, where the boats might un
load their burden In tho Immediate
neighborhood of a blast furnace. The
Inauguration of such a transportation
service and the building of the furnace
are among the plans now projected.
"We expect to have our own lleet of
boats to carry ore up the rtiver Houso .
ana transport machines destined to
foreign countries through the Welland
Canal," Mr. Ford said to-day. "I hope
to see the river widened sufficiently to
render It navigable.
"A large part of the property along
the river will be sold to my employees
at Just about the price which I paid
for It Then I expect to see a model
village develop around the new plnnts.
The 15 a day rate of wages which Is In
force at our Highland Park plant win
he extended to the 'nctorles on the
Kouge Illver. I want every employee to
have space for a small garden adjoining
his home.
"I am much Interested In the project
to widen tho Welland Canal and am
hopeful that this Improvement will be
effected soon. Then ocean going vcsels
may sail from Detroit direct to France,
Kngland, Germany and other countries
which we serve and our products will
be distributed without unloading."

of Frank Holt, J. P. Morgan's ukmII
unt, that he Is rtSKnslt)e for the nt
ti'inpt to blow up the Semite wing of
the Capitol Is believed by the Wash
ington ixillee.
They uccept his statement as clear-
lug away the mystery of the explosion
which wrecked the recerttlon rcum of
tho Senate chamber late last night.
The kit-r.l police have not, however,
given up their determination tv ascer
tain nil the facts In regard to this
crime. They are busy trying to trace
Holt's movements while tie was In
Washington. Up to u late hour to
night they had been unable to learn
anything definite along this line.
The Washington ixitlcn nlwt believe
now that Holt Is the nuthor cf letters
which were received by two Washing
ton newspapers this morning and
which were signed "H. Peuroe." These
letters Indicate on their face that the
writer was the man who made the
attempt to blow up the Senate wing of
the Capitol.
The letters were postmarked at 10
o'clock last night, about two lwuns lie
fore the explosion occurred in th
Capitol. Both letters contain references
to the planning of that crime.
Mmllnrlty of Ktiitemrnts

were attracted to the similarity of the
statements In these letters with the
statement made by Holt at Glen Cove
In explaining his attack uion Mr. Mor

man who hud placed the explosive In
tho Senate room.

"I iirh n n old

Tho letters contained a rambling
protest against the sale or arms and
ammunition to the belligerents and
against tlw collection of "blood money"
by American monufacturera.
A remnrkablo feature about these
letters Is that they were dated Juno 1,
1915. They were typewritten, except
for the use of the word "Senate" In
referring to tho place of explosion. A
blank space hud been left In the letters
and In them tho word "Senate" had
been printed In by long hand, this
sentence rending:
"In connection with the Senate af
fair, would It not be well to stop and
consider what wo are doing?"
Plnnneil n .Month .tun,
From the date of the letter June 1
tho Washington police believe that
Holt, or "Pearce," ns he signed himself,
had been planning for more than n
month to blow up some Government
building nnd had prepared the letter
before he had decided which one he
would select. They bellove th word
"Henate" was written In nftir tho bomb

WON'T TELL WHERE HE
00T THE DYNAMITE
-Mingola, I.. I., July S in the
course of a long examination to-night
at the hands of Major Pullman of the
Washington police Capt, Tunncy of the
New York city force and Sheriff
Stephen C. Pettlt of Nassnu county,
Frank Holt, the wouldbe assassin of J.
P. Morgan, admitted that It was he
who set the bomb which exploded late
last night In the Senate reception room
of tho Capitol.
The Interview with him lasted from 9
o'clock until a. most 11, and the pris
oner, weak from loss of blood caused
by the cut on his head, had to be car
ried Into the room In which hs was
questioned. Newspaper reporters In tho
corridor could hear his voice, whlc
wan faint and husky,
Those present agreed that Holt spoks
very rationally, nnd showed that he Is
a man of education. He has an unusu
ally facile knnck of expression, and his
slight German accent Increases In direct
ratio with his excitement.
I'lnu I.onar In .Mind,
I Ills account carries his movements
i back to June 11, when he says he left
Ithaca. For several months he hnd In
his mind a plan to bring powerful finan
ciers and manufactures of this country,
and even the national authorities, to a
realization that they could not permit
American made munitions to be shipped
to the Allies.
Then, on June 11, he hnd arrnnged
to act,
"I went straight to the .Mills Hotel
3, at Kevoiilh nvviiuo and Thlrtj
slxth mreet," he said, "Then I tried
to get some dynamite, for I had already
t taught nut a way of making bombs
If I could get dynamite,
"I had never nuido n bomb before,
but I know something about chemistry
nnd I rend the sections In tho ency
clopaedia about dyn.unlto and about
bumbs. This was enough with my
knowledgo of chemistry.
"I had n lot of double getting the
dynamite, but I flnnlly got It by paying
$30 for six sticks. Three of them I
used In the Washington explosion mid
the other three I brought to Glen Cove
with me, one In my pocket nnd two In
my suitcase.
"I eime to Glen Cove at noon on
Thursday and after Impeding the Mor
gan premise I went to Washington,
urrlved there late Thursday evening,
and hired a room In a house at the
corner of Delaware avenue and Ave
nue C.

forth In the confession lie made to the Justice of the Pence In
Mlneoln.
"I, 1'nml; Holt of Itliucn, New York, and lately profeiur of (iennuii
nt Cornell, do hereby freely iimke to William i:. I.tiyxtcr. .lit it lct of the
Pence, the following statement of the facts concerning my vWl to the
home of .1. P. Morgan at V.ut Ntninl, (ileu Cove, X. V.
"1 have been la Xew York city about ten days ami lmd made a pre
vlous trrp to the hope of Mr. Morgan lust week. My mothe In coming
here wits to try to force Mr. Morgan to use lit-. Inllllciicc with the mini

who are (Inunclng the war loans to have nn embargo put on shipments of
war munitions ho ns to relieve the American people from cumpHclty In
tho death of thousands of our Ktirojienu brothers.
"If (ienunny should be able to buy munitions here we would, of
course, isisltlvel.v refuse to sell to her, The reason that the Aiiierlcuu
IHsmle have not ns yet stopped the
getting rich out of this troflle. but do we not get enough prn-Krlty out
of iinn-eoiitrahaiid shipments' And would It not he better for us to iiiake
what money we can without causing the slaiuliter of Kuropi-ans?
"I am very sorry that I had to cause the Morgan family this un
pleasantness, but I believe, that If Mr. Morgan would put lit- shoulder to
the wheel lie could accomplish what I have endeavored to do. I wanted
him to do the work I could not do. I hope that he will do his share any
way. We must stop our participation in the killing of KuroH,'iiis, and
God will take cam of the rest."
I had not constructed It. I had all
the mnterlnls with me. i
Tnese inciuaeu tne niiamue. a smaii
cork stopped bottle of sulphuric ucld
and some trick matches (wlndproof
matches). 1 bored four small holes In
ench of three sticks of dynamite and
' Inserted the trick matches In ench hole.
These matches Hare up highly ana ror
that reason 1 felt sure that they would
explode the dynamite.
.lust Whnt Happened,
"The dynamite, holding the matches,
was placed In n package nnd above It
was placed the bottle of sulphuric acid,
turned upside down. I figured that it
would take about eight or ten hours for
the acid to eat through the cork stop
per and this Is Just what happened.
"I entered the Capitol at the front
entrance, carrying tho pnekage under
my emit. I did not meet a guard or a
policeman nnd no one asked me any
questions. I didn't meet anyone to stop
me ns 1 walked through the cortldors to
lthe room In the Senate wing, where I
placed the bomb without disturbance.
"I took n 12:10 train out of Wash

Xew Yolk and Washington police have information which leads them to be
Move that he planned next to po to Corn I Mi, X. H., and nttempt the llfo of
President Wilson.
Holt forced his way Into Mr. .Morgan's country home on llnst Island,
three and a half miles from Glen Cove, at :20 A. M. yesterday, drove the)
butler before him by the menace of a revolver, searched the house until heji
ifound 'Mr. and Mrs. .Morgan on the second floor nnd then, as Mr. Morgan
and Mrs. Morgan attempted to disarm him, tired two shots. He carried
sticks of dynamite also to use If the chance offered.
One bullet entered the lower right hand side of Mr. Morgan's abdomen
and lodged near the base of the spine. The other pierced tho right groin,
ranged downward through the flesh of the thigh and passed out of Mr.
Morgan's body.
The financier, who as head of the banking house which I the purchas
ing agent of the Ilrltlsh Government hnd become an object for Holt's at
tack. Is dangerously but probably not fatally wounded. This was the opinion,
at least, of members of Mr. Morgan's family, of several of his partners and
of his friends who had heard the report of the surgeons who examined lilH
Injuries and who probed successfully for the bullet which entered tho
abdomen.
Hi owes his life very probably to the courage and iulcl;ness of .Mrs.
Morgan, who. the llrst to detect Holt lurking In the shadows of the upper
hallway, literally flung herself at the man and so disturbed his aim that ho
had no opportunity to shoot straight. She risked her life without an lit
slant's hesitation In an effort to protect her husband.
Mr. Morgan himself overpowered Holt, and with the help of servants
tied him and trussed him after the Morgan butler, Henry Physlck, had
thumped him soundly over the head with the llrst handy weapon available,
a lump of coal. Then Mr. Morgan, after calmly assuring his house guests,
the Ilrltlsh Ambassador and l.ady Sprlng-ltlce, who hail seen a part of the
ilesjiorate struggle on the second floor lauding, that lie was not badly hurt,
and after telephoning to his mother and to William 11. Porter, one of his:

Cornell, do heicby fieely make to
Willi. mi li. I.uystei, Justice of tho
piace, the following statement of
tho tiictii concerning my visit to the
home of .1. I. .Moir.aii at Hast Island,
(lieu Cove, X. Y.
1 base been in Xew York city
uboiit ten days and hud made u pre-
lous it Ip tn the home of Mr. Mor
gan las! week. My motive In com
ing lute was o tr to force Mr.
Morgan to use his Influence with
Ihe uiiiiiut.u tiireis uf munitions In
the Tinted States, and with the mill
ionaires who are llnaneliig the war
loans, in have an embnrgo put on
shipments of war munitions, so as
to icllcvf Hie American people from
complicity In the death of thousands
of our Kutopf.iu brothers.
If Germany should be nble to buy
munitions beie we would of course
positively refuse to sell to her. The
reason that the American people
have not ns yet stopped the ship
ments seems to be that we are
getting rich out or this wattle, but
do we not get enough prosperity out
of non-contraband shipment? And
would It not he better for us to inako
whnt money we can without causing
the slaughter of Kuropeiins?
1 am very sorry that I hnd tn
cause tho Morgan family this un
pleasantness, but I believe that If
Mr. Morgan would put his shoulder
to the whcrl he could accomplish
what J have endeavored to do, I
wanted him to do the work 1 could
not do. 1 hope that he will do hie
PRICE FIVE CENTS.

share anyway. We must stop our
participation in the killing of Ku
ropenns, nnd God will take care of
the rest.
Immediately afterward he t-uld to)
Justice I. oyster;
"You can do as you ple.is-o with tne,
1 did my duly. You can do jours."

From whnt won gathered by Capt,
Tunney tho deliberate purpose of JloIiK
was to kill and terrorize In u cam!
