most of the babies entered were well

Those behind the contest are de-
serving of no little credit At first it
did not promise well but through the
untiring efforts of Mrs. G. T.. Earn
heart and her associates the contest
soon promised to be and ultimately
became one Of the greatest of the
kind ever attempted in this section Of
the country
VIII there be another better babies
contest at the Free Tulsa County fair
next year? Yes indeed and 1T will be
bigger and brighter and higher in
scores than its predecessors, perhaps.
As long as there is Free Tulsa
County fair there must be a better
babies contest, and as the fair un-
doubtedly will become a permanent
institution, or has become such, there
always will be the annual contest de-
signed to develop better youngsters.

Dual Personality Of
 Erich Muenter Revealed
Story of Life the Man Who Shot Morgan Shows He of Unbalanced Mind-Disappeared Shortly After His
 Wife Died and Was Indicted for Murder

Cambridge, Mass, July 7.-The duel personality of Erich Muenter, alnis Frank Holt, was betrayed to his ssso- ciates when he was instructor nt Harvard university. The first evidence of n diseased mind was contained in a pamphlet which he is supposed to have written and mailed from New Orleans to President Eliot and members of tue faculty after he had fled from Cam bridge fin the face of charges that he had murdered his wife with poison.
 Considered by his intimates as ec- centric, Muenter nevertheless was re- earded as diligent student and courte- ous gentleman who was not likely to do anything to attract particular at tention. The issuance of the booklet created astonishment, as it was a bit ter tirade against society, threatening revenge upon the community" which he declared had unjustly accused him. The writer gave convincing proof of an unbalanced mind.
 Muenter came to Harvard in 1904 with . degree from the University of Texas and a record of service as an instruc- tor in the University of Kansas. En- tered at Harvard as a candidate for the advanced degree of doctor of philoso- phy, he received an appointment as in structor in the elementary German courses. He was accompanied here by his wife, formerly Leone krembs of Chi cago, and their 1-year-old daughter.
 Second Child Born
 On April 6, 1906, second child was born. Mrs Muenter. believing in mental healing, did not call in a physician until just before the birth of the infant, and the physician withdrew from the case when he learned that his directions were not being followed. A mental heal er and a nurse attended Mrs. Muenter. At midnight on April 15, Meunter told the nurse to get some rest and said he would stay with the patient. At o'clock the following morning he Informed the uursp that Mrs. Menter had died.
