MIRACLE MAN
QUICKLY CURES
LOCAL WOMEN
Prof. Munter Proves Ability
at Lansburgh Ex-
hibition.

Drink plenty Of hot water-not
cold water Exhale, sit well back
in your chairs are some tips for
longer lives which Prof. Munter,
The Miracle Man. recommends to
the people OF Washington.
Prof Munter cures paralysis.
headaches and other ailments. He
appeared for the first time In Wash.
ington yesterday. Today two Wash
ington women can testify that he
works wonders"
Prof. Munter opened his demon
stration yesterday by curing Mrs.
Thomas Pugh. of 23S o street north
west. OF paralysis In her left arm,
hand and hip.
The aged women had to be assist
ed TO the platform. She was placed
in a chair and Prof. Munter. after
passing his hands over her face and
eyes, sharply jerkeu her head from
side to side. Hundreds OF women
leaned forward in their seats to view
the result. '..
Is Quickly Cured.
Mrs. Pugh sat up. shook her head
and raised her left arm above her
head. The hand, which had been
yellow and drawn, was pink with in
flowing blood. She arose and walk.
ed.
Applause broke out. and a ripple
OF excited comment went around the
hail. Many women rose from their
seats and crowded forward. seeking
cures for their particular Ills.
Mrs. Christine Martinowitz, 415 II
street northwest, about forty-five
years old, and Weighing 265 pounds,
was the first woman to be cured.
She told the audience that her
weight caused her such inconveni.
ence that she had been often tempted
to take her life. Only the thought
of her Woodworking husband and
her children prevented her, she sald
in broken English.
Prof. Munter made her sit down
and performed the peculiar, simple
rites OF his healing method. The
buxom woman came up smiling and
reported that she felt much better.
During Prof. hunters ensuing
talk on the corset, he was inter
rupted by the persistent laudAtions
of Mrs. MartinowltS. She removed
her coat and he fitted her with
corset.
Then, at the professors request,

had not knelt for years; ran blithelY
across the platform. descended the
steps and returned to the healer $
side with girlish abandon: she even
danced a little jig for the edlfication
OF the audience.
Cures Other Tns.
Prof. Munter cured severNl minor
Ills, such as headaches and sundry
pains, OF women who presented them
selves, as the two others had done,
from the audience.
Tho professor attributed head
aches, back pains and severa: other
ailments to overindulgence in the
Demon Cold Water.
Prof. Munter is conducting demon
strations Of the Nulifs corset and is
appearing daily In the auditorium Of
Lansburgh 4 Bros department
store. He will be here until May 1S.
The demonstration today opens at 2
o'clock. An exhibit OF living corset
models will be another feature Of

he would not do his bit.

SLAYER 5 NAME
Five Held by Police Following.
Fatal Row in Missouri
Avenue.

Keeping the name OF his slayer a
secret, Walter Anderson, thirty
three years old, whose home has
not been definitely established, died
at Emergency Hospital last night.
He had been shot through the chest.
The murder furnishes a mystery
the police are trying to unravel.
Five men are being held for ex-
animation in the murder. They are
! William L. Mullen, 207 Willard
street, Lexington, KY; Harry T..
Carpenter, Peoria, ILL.,; George
Moore, Arlington, n. j.; Hugh Nc
Z CURE, and William Nester, both OF
@59 Missouri avenue northwest
3 Detectives pleaded with the
wounded man yesterday at the hos
pital to divulge the name Of the
man who had fired the fatal shot,
but he not only refused to give
that information, but also refused
TO tell who he was or where he
/. came from. II is believed that his
! relatives live at Newark, N. J.
At the Missouri avenue address a
number of men engaged In a drink
! fng bout last Sunday. A quarrel
arose, and the shooting was the
sequel. So close was the slayer to his
NlCJim that powder SIdluS were AVunu
on the mans coat.
The only clue the police have is &
pistol which was found in a mattress
in a room rented by Mullen and Car
+ penter. Both were temporarily stop
ping at $50 Pennsylvania avenoe
northwest. They are onelegged men
and elxe out an existence by selling
pencils and begging.
In an effort TO definitely establish
who Anderson really was, Sergt- Fred
Sandberg, of the Identification bu-
reau, went to the hospital yesterday
and took his finger prints. Copies OF
these viii be forwarded to most OF
the large cities of the country.
Edward Williams, who conducts q
grocery store at Asst Missouri ave-
nue.. told the detectives that he saw
"a cripple leave the house shortly
after the shooting. Both Mullen and
Carpenter deny having been at 459
Missouri avenue last Sunday.
Before he died Anderson gave sew.
eral addresses, one purporting to
2 be that of his father, but the com.
munications forwarded there were
returned to police headquarters.
The five men were held at the
central office until last midnight,
but despite a severe grilling refused
5 10 say anything about the shooting.

This man wrote he went out
one night. climbed the tree
where he said the eagle roasted
near a farmers barn, got half
way up and was shot in the
legs with a charge Of rock salt
by the vigilant farmer. The
farmer said he had been on the
watch for thieves who had been
stealing his turkeys and threat
ened to put the man in jail.
The enterprising eagle catch
