WIFE'S DEATH MYSTERIOUS
Sjnn TTtterly Disappears After Fol
"fon Is Found in Dead Woman's
Stomach Bitter Tirade
a Causes Amazement.
.CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. July 7. The
dlial personality of Erich Muenter. alias
Frank Holt, was betrayed to his asso
ciates when he was an instructor at the
Harvard University. The first evidence
of a. 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 the
faculty after he had fled from Cam
bridge in the face of charges that he
lad murdered his wife with poison.
Considered by his intimates as ec
centric. Muenter nevertheless was re
garded as a, diligent student and
courteous gentleman, who was not
lllcely to do anything to attract par
ticular attention. The Issuance of the
booklet created astonishment, as It was
a. bitter tirade against society, threat
ening revenge on the "community,"
which he declared had unjustly ac
cused him. The writer gave convinc
ing proof of an unbalanced mind.
Advanced Work Taken Vp.
.Muenter came to Harvard In 1904
with a degree from the University of
Chicago and a record of service as an
Instructor in the University of Kansas.
Entered at Harvard as a candidate for
the advanced degree of doctor of phil
osophy, he received, an appointment as
Instructor in the elementary German
courses. He was accompanied here by
his wife, formerly Leone Krembs, of
Chicago, and their one-year-old daugh
ter. On. April 6. 1906, a second child was
born. Mrs. Muenter, believing in men
tal healing, did not call in a physician
until just before the birth of the in
fant, and- the physician withdrew from
the case when he learned that his di
rections were not being followed. A
mental healer then attended Mrs. Muen
ter. At midnight on April 15 Muenter
to'.a the nurse to get some rest and
said that he would stay with the pa
tient. At 6 o'clock the following morn
ing he Informed the nurse that Mrs.
Muenter had died.
" I'oIho n Found. Man Disappears.
The physician whose advice had been
disregarded refused to issue a death
certificate, and the medical examiner,
believing that the circumstances Jus
tified an' autopsy, sent the woman's
stomach to the Harvard Medical' School
lor analysis.
.In the meantime Muenter urged that
he be allowed to take the body to Chi
cago for burial, and the medical ex
aminer permitted him to do so, and
Issued a certificate ascribing death to
stomach trouble following childbirth.
Muenter did not return to Cambridge.
Within 10 days the chemist reported
the presence of poison in the digestive
organs, and the futile search for Muen
ter was begun. Soon afterward a grand
Jury returned an indictment accusing
the missing Instructor of having poi
soned his wife.
Pamphlet of Protest Issued.
Two months after Muenter's disap
pearance his colleagues here received
copies of a pamphlet entitled, "Pro
test," which contained a discussion of
the charges against him, followed by a
rambling analysis of existing social
conditions and the treatment of those
accused of crime without proof. On
the latter subject the writer said in
part:
"Take my case. Even without the
process of law, the spirit of revenge
and prosecution of the law which our
newspapers so brightly and painfully
reflect, has branded me as a criminal.
In the eyes of all who read the atro
cious accounts in the daily papers, I am
a brutal murderer, a thing to be des
pised and to be shuddered at, an out
cast of society, an enemy of the com
munity, a wild beast that must be
hunted down and be either killed or
caged up. "for the safety of the com
munity." "The lesson that you teach me 1 will
execute, and it shall go hard, but I will
better the instruction. Without know
ing whether I was innocent or guilty
you have reviled me. you have cast me
out. If I do not strain every nerve to
get revenge, the bloodiest, most brutal
kind of revenge, let me never respect
myself any more.
"I can never prove my innocence to
you. My only wlti.crs is dead. Hence,
if I could annihilate all of Chicago and
Cambridge at one blow that would be
the thing to do. You wish to .annihilate
me. I must anticipate you."
WOOD COMPETITION GAINS
Commerce Department Reports on
. . Philippine Lumber Market.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 7. Iouglas fir from Ore
gon and Washington and redwood from
California dominated the Philippine
market during the past year, so far as
Imports are concerned, announces the
Department of Commerce, but these
woods may be expected to meet active
competition from native lumber in the
future, according to this same author
ity. The Department's announcement
says:
The islands provided a market for more
than 5ow,000 north of forest products in the
1'2 months ended Juno 30. 3114. and prac
tically the entire quantity represented ty
these figures was shipped from the Douglas
fir mills of Washington and Oregon and the
redwood mills of California.
Mr. Smith found, however, a sharp com
petition by native woods and it is his opinion
that this will inevitably become keener. Each
Euccoedins; year, he thinks, will witness an
increasing cyt of Philippine woods. The con
clusion reached Is that the prospective de
mand for American lumber ;u the Philip
pines is not particularly encouraging.
DRY NATION VOTE ' ASKED

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., July 7. The

tions urging Congress to submit to the

quors in dry territory.
. Another resolution adopted com
mended President Wilson for refusing
to renounce, despite strong pressure, a
letter he is said to have written while
Governor of New Jersey to a citizen
of Texas, in which Mr. Wilson is said
to' have declared that state prohibition

"Holt met his death by plunging
from the bars ot his cell. He fell 18
feet. His keeper. O'Ryan, was in
charge of him and I always believed
that O'Ryan was a trustworthy man.
His orders from me were never to take
his eyes off the prisoner. He was told
that if he wanted anything he should
rap on the bars with a club and that
his summons would be answered b
another keeper.
"In running along the corridor to
see what the disturbance was O'Ryan
disobeyed my specific orders. But I
did not employ O'Ryan: he was em

THE BABY'S WELFARE
A MOTHER'S DREAD
A fear clutches at the heart of the
mother that her own little on may
not live ionT. She dreads Its second
Summer, or that it may never wake
from Its sound sleep. All mankind
loves a mother love, to tee a mother
love her child. A baby and its mother
are Insured against Ill-health If the
mother takes lr. Pierre's Favorite Pre
scription, a tonic forewomen that lir.
t. V. Tierce invented nearly a half
century ago for women's Ills. This la a
vegetable tonic, made only of the chirl
nal roota with glycerine, which puts
the female system Into perfect, healthy
action. Ilcfore baby's i cm trig It Is Just
the tonic that puts the womanly ss
tem Into a proper condition to make
the birth painless and to Insure a
healthy child.
Many mothers of families' In the
United Htates have reason to be grate
ful to the person who recommended
Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription. It
Is put up for the single purpose of cur
ing disease peculiar to women. It has
sold more largely on this continent
than any other medicine for women.
Another point In Its favor: it Is a tem
perance remedy and does not contain a
single drop of alcohol nor of any nar
cotic. Young mothers. who preserve the
charms of face and figure in spile of
an Increasing family and the care of
growing children are always to be en
vied. Ir. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion gives the strength and health upon
which happy motherhood depends. It
