 AT PRESCOTT FAIR

Prescott, Arizona, Sept. 28.-(Spec- fial)-Twenty beautiful bouncing ba- bies have already been entered in | the Better Babies Contest, which will be held under the auspices of the Northern Arizona State Fair Assoc iation, during October 19-20-21, the dates of the Tenth Annual Northern Fair To this energetic Association must be given the credit for having first instituted the Better Babies" contest in the State of Arizona. Full ly realizing that the most important crop to Arizona is that of her babies, the Northern contest has been fol- lowed by states of the Southwest and also by the Arizona State Fair. This contest is in charge of Miss Catherine o. Beagin, R. N., as man. ager and Alfred B. Carr, as superin- tendent, and is open to all babies of Northern Arizona, between the ages of six months and thirty,six months. There are three classes, divided as follows: Class 1, boys and girls from six months to twelve months; Class |2, boys and girls, thirteen months to twenty-four months; Class 3, boys and girls, twenty-five months to thir- ty-six months.
 All entries on October 14th, 1922, at five P. M This is necessary ow- ing to the great amount of care and time which is taken in the examin- ations of the babies. Entry blanks will be mailed on request and ap- pointments for examination will be mailed in ample time before the con- test opens. All questions on blanks submitted to parents must be answ- cred. No child suffering from any acute, constitutional or contagious di- sease may be entered.
 The examinations will begin at nine-thirty on the morning of Octo- Der 18th, at the Baby Pavilion. All judging will be under the rules of the American Medical Association and their standard score card will be used, a copy of which will be mailed to the parents after completion. Com- petent nurses and doctors will be in charge and all judging and handling fthe babies will be under the most sanitary conditions possible.
 All babies entered in the contest will be eligible to the Prettiest Baby contest (although this is one of the minor divisions of the Better Babies contest) and it will again be decided by the mothers of the contestants by using the Australian Ballot, voting for three best choices: first choice will receive five points; second, four points and third, three points. The baby receiving the most points in the ballot shall be considered the choice of the mothers as the prettiest baby in the 1922 contest.
 Beautiful and appropriate prizes, including Native copper loving cups and many other prizes will be award ed in all classes.
 Mothers desiring totake advantage of this wonderful opportunity of learn ing first-hand just how their babies are progressing should immediately make out entry blanks.

putty sheriffs this morning opened
fire on group of strikers in the
Phillasdale district of East Provid-
cnce wounding one man and put
ting a bullet hole through the coat

authorities and the strikers.
According TO the former the
strikers numbered about 100 and
were armed with stones lying in
ambush to attack workers bound
for Pawtucket mill. The strik-

announced tndC Iney WOulu care
for Johnsons wife and two chill
dren. The 68 year old defendant
was set free six hours after the
jury ~retired.
Directed by Judge Sanderson to
return with one of four verdicts
guilty or not guilty of man
slaughter, murder in the first de-
gree OF murder in the second de-
gree, the jury retired at 815
o'clock last evening with the case
o. Caleb Loring Cunningham,
aged farmer of East Milton, on
trial in Dedham superior court for
the murder of John Johnson, a
trespasser on his estate.
In his address, which lasted an
hour, the judge defined the law
as relating to the plea of self de-
fence, he said, would have to de-
eide that Cunningham felt his own
life in danger before he discharg
cd his carbne.
After conclusion Of arguments,
Cunningham, presenting a pitiful
figure as he stood alone in the
prisoners dock, delivered 15-
minute dramatic appeal for acquit-
tal The aged defendant stated
simply that he shot in self-dc
fence, that there was no murder
in his heart, and that he did not
dream he had injured the man.
Judge Sanderson addressed the
defendant at the end of Dist. Atty
katzmann's argument. "In accord
arce with long practise establish
ed in this court you are informed
that you now have right, if you
choose to address the jury in your
own behalf" the court stated, in
dicating that the choice lay wholly
with him, and could be accepted
or not as he selected.
Confronted with the supreme
moment in the battle for his life,
the gray-haired and bearded de-
fcndant displayed no nervousness.
He arose and quietly said: 81
think, your honor, if there is time,
| will address them" A short
consultation of counsel took place
at the bench, and when the court
announced that he might begin,
Cunningham inquired, "Shall |
read it from here? 1t is difficult
to sec with this light.
The court directed that the
lights be turned on over the pris-
oner's cage, and a glass Of water
Was brought to the defendant.
In calm self possession his
manner as he adjusted his eye
glasses and began to read his
statement, written in his own
hand on several sheets of white
paper Offered marked contrast.
Every eye in the court room was
focused on his frail figure. There
was a tense silence up to the mo-
mcnt he closed with the words,
spoken earnestly, and with the
paper from which he had been
reading dropped to his side.
"Gentlcmcn, | did no murder. |
hao no murder in my heart. |
