Journalists or citizens. The announcexnent was coupled with the statement that the prohibition would also govern l-Zr ifliscugsion or speculation on any polltl-

Oal or military topic. Ambassador Gerard called at the foreign office at 5 o'clock this aftercoon and was closeted with officials there for more than half an hour. At the end of his conference he declined to state either the nature of his conversation or state with whom he had been conferring. He stated that any Information regarding new developments must come from Washington.

vestigated the law closely in the matter of this corporation and have been informed that they are liable to the county for their tajces, and not to the state, and we will act accordingly. This company is the only one of the public service corporations which has r.ot made a return on their assessment^."

With but one exception, all the chattel loan companies and persons who make chattel loans in the city were raised, the raises in gome instances amounting to mote than 125 per cent. The Eagle Loan company was the one exception and their return was passed by the board without any action.

According to the president, all mortgaged made by these companies are subject to tabfatlbh. He says It Is the rule for the loan company to charge $8 for the loan, 2 per cent a month and 20 cents for the release of the mortgage. He says all' mortgages "are entered at the county recorder's office, but it has been the practice of the loan companies to take the 20 cent1* for releasing the loans and then not making the release. Such mortgages as have no doubt been released by the parties who procured the loan are still, subject to taxation if the necessary legal steps have not been taken by the companies to release them. Seeburger says that the loan companies have not made these mortgages a matter of record on their assessment return and all will be held against them for taxation unless they are released in the proper manner.

Served With Notice.

It Is the law, according to Seeburger, that if notice is given In writing to the loan company to release the mortgage it must be released within ten days or the company is liable for attorney fees amounting to $25 to the party who wished the release, but the ordinary person making a loan of this kind Is not cognizant of this fact and the result Is there are many outstanding mortgages the principal and interest of which have been paid, but the mortgage not released.

All the loan companies which have under estimated the amount of their mortgages have been notified by County Auditor Wallace to appear before the board and show why they should not be assessed on these documents and will be compelled to release mortgages made long ago or have them taxed.

The board has employed a special man to investigate this work and acted on his report. He has been at work In the auditor's and recorder's office for some time and made a detailed report to the board Friday' evening and official action was taken Saturday morning.

J. H. Aufderhlde, dealing in chattels and judgments, was assessed $8,712 Max Blumberg and five special agents, both in Terre Haute and other towns, was assessed $33,084 by the board's action. O. W. Storer, holding chattel

WASHINGTON, July 3.—General Huerta's rearrest, the arrest also of Ricafdo Robelo, who was attorney general in the ex-dictktor's cabinet, and the escape of General Orozco, Huerta's alleged co-conspirator, left officialdom here tonight seertiingly strangely Indifferent. Secretary of State Lansing said his advices were "a trifle reass-ur-ing," that the Mtexico situation wag better and the authorities apparently v, ere maintaining order. He refused tq comment on the story that the Red

don relief efforts because no faction seemed desirous of co-operating. Huerta, according to 131 Paso messages, was made a prisoner again In connection with a general round up of his adherents, on fresh accusations of plotting neutrality violations. As Attorney General Warren said that as the rearrest was not on the justice department's order, he supposed It was due to local developments at El Pasp.

Why People Use the Jitneys

A quiet, inoffensive passenger on the South Seventh street car line a few nights ago wanted to get off at Crawford street. The motorman was up ahead watching the right of way. The little' man stood up, but he was unable to catch the conductor's eye. Fearing he would get by his street, he reached up and pulled the bell cord.

The conductor walked back to him and In a twelve horse-power voice, said: "Say, you, one man's enough to run this car, and when I quit I'll let you know."

The little man sneaked off the car and went home down through the alley.

ASSAILANT Of MORGAN TELLS AMAZING STORY

Continued From Page On*.

Before I went to Cornell I was an Instructor at Vanderbilt college. I received, a degree of doctor of philosophy at Cornell In 1914 while I was an in structor there in modern languages. I resigned from the Cornell faculty this spring and accepted an appointment to the chair of Roman languages at the Southern Methodist university, Dallas. "No one Influenced me to do this. I got the idea about a month ago that I might persuade Mr. Morgan to stop the sale of ammunition because I thought it* was all wrong. I didn't mean to shoot him but I did Intend to stay around until something was done. That liquid I had In my pocket that they called nitroglycerine was only benzine to (Clean my clothes."

Describes Struggle.

Here Holt described the struggle In the Morgan hallway. He offered no reason for shooting Morgan but expressed admiration for his victim's brave struggle and for the bravery of Mrs. Morgan in attempting to save her husband. After he had talked to reporters, Holt borrowed a pencil and wrote a telegram to his wife, addressed to 101 Marseilles street, Dallas, Tex. It follows: "Man proposes. God disposes. Don't come here until you get my letters. Be strong. FRANK."

Late this afternoon Holt was arraigned before Judge Luyster, charged with assault In the first degree which covers attempted murder. He was bound over without bqtll for appearance Wednesday at 2 p. m., the police announcing that the prisoner would be taken to the county jail at Mineola, N. J.

Holt apparently was suffering greatly from loss of blood when he wad arraigned and his brain was muddled. When asked if he desired to plead, he replied: "That part that says 'I wished to kill Mr. Morgan' must be taken out."

Judge Luyster held that the prisoner was not competent to enter his own plea and therefore, on Holt's behalf, entered a formal plea of not guilty.

Twenty-three special deputies, armed with shot guns, patrolled the boundaries of the Morgan estate tonight. They drove all persons from the bridge leading to the Morgan grounds. Whether this precaution was taken out of fear that another attempt would be made on the financier's life or merely to keep away curious villagers was not made known.

It was learned definitely late tonight that neither of the shots penetrated Morgan's abdomen. The first shot struck the right hip and deflected slightly downward. The second pierced nearer the groin and went downward more sharply, passing out of the upper part of the leg.

Drives to Morgan Home

Holt arrived In Glen Cove on the 3:53 train from New York carrying a medium-sized suit case and neatly dressed. He walked to a garage near the station, called Fred Ford, a chauffeur, and asked to be drijven to the Morgan home on Matinock, about two miles from Glen Cove. "By the way," he asked Ford, as the car was about to start, "do you know Mr. Morgan's car when you see It?" The chauffeur answered In the affirmative. "Well, if we pass It, Just stop,'* Holt said, "and I'll throw my grip In and get In with Mr. Morgan."

At Holt's decision, Ford drove the car through the gateway of the Morgan estate and up to the main steps, where his passenger alighted and paid his fare. Holt then started up the steps, and Ford turned to drive out of the grounds.

Butler Fiske answered Holt's ring. The caller handed him his card, saying: "I want to see J. P.. Morgan. He is an old friend of mine."

The Morgan family was at breakfast in the dining room. Fiske ushered the visitor Into a room off the main library and turned toward the dining room. As he did so, Holt draw a revolver from his pocket and taking a few steps toward the hall, said quite coolly, "You see this gun? I have another one. Now I want to see Mr. Morgan.'

Fiske sized up the tall, slender

™ith the gleaming revolver",

and realized instantly that he was dealing either with a lunatic or a dangerous crank.

Leaps Upon Assailant.

"Mr. Morgan is in the library," he said, quietly. "Just a minute, please, and I'll call him."

The butler parsed slowly Into the hall, broke into a run as he approached the dining room, and shouted: "Up stairs, Mr. Morgan, up stairs."

The financier and his wife, believing that something had happened upstairs, ran up the back stairway. They found nothing wrong, and hurrying through the long hall on the second floor and down the front stairs, almost stumbled upon the intruder, who was brandishing a revolver In either hand.

Mrs. Morgan brushed ahead and attempted to throw herself between the would-be assassin and her husband.

Morgan, however, pushed her ba$k and hurled the full weight of his 200 pounds of solid flesh upon his slender assailant, Just as the two revolvers barked.

At this point accounts of what happened differ materially. The version generally accepted here tonight was that Holt fired three shots before he was felled, one entering: Morgan's abdomen, piercing the center and inflicting a serious wound, and a second penetrating the groin and coming out through the right thigh. A third shot was reported to have shattered a valuable oil painting.

In falling to the floor with his assailant, Morgan seized Holt's wrist and wrenched one of the revolvers out of his hand. The butler and other servants then rushed in.and overpowered Holt. They trussed him up with ropes and telephoned for the police and doctors.

After Dr. Zabrlskle had attended Morgan, the financier ordered the extension telephone brought to his bedside.

Butler Fiske had him connected with his mother, Mrs. J. P. Morgan, Sr., who Is at Highland Falls, on the Hudson. Morgan propped himself upon his elbow and personally told his mother not "to be alarmed over his condition. He then talked to his partner, Wm. H. Porter, over a private line to J. P. Morgan and Co. In New York.

Holt's Father-lfi-Law Says He Recently Became Despondent. DALLAS, Tepc., July 3.—'Frank

Holt,

held as the assailant of J. P. Morgan, had been a peax:e advocate of the strongest type before he, today, shot Morgan. "It seems he must have been demented," said Rev. O. A. Sensabaugh, Holt's father-in-law, tonight, choking back a sob, "though I had never seen anything of that nature about him in the ten years that I have known him. His life has been above reproach"He was an extremely amWttows young man and for five years he been overworking. For three yews h* served as professor of French in Cornell university and previous to that time had been with VanderWlt university and Oklahoma state university. He was extremely quiet and peaceable and strongly opposed to war. Be was of German extraction, born in Wisconsin. "Mrs. Holt this morning had a letter from him from New York, where he had been for the last two weeks, saying that he had been sick and was despondent."

Mrs. Holt, secluded from reporters, is heartbroken. "The strain Is killing her," her father said.

Sensabaugh explained that Holt planned to go to Ithaoa soon and then come to Dallas, where he was engaged as a language professor for the New Southern Methodist university.
