Chicago, July 4. Information point Ing to Frank Holt, the would-be assas sin of J. P. Morgan, as Erich Muenter a former University of Chicago stu dent, who disappeared from Harvard following the death of his wife in 1906, was given to a newspaper her today by a college associate in Mueu- ter's Chicago days, who says he knew of Muenter rehabilitating himself, as Holt. ; The informant added that; he had known of him as Holt in Vander- bilt university and Cornell. The jnformer, whose anonymity was pledged by the newspaper, was quoted as saying: I "Frank Holt, who shot J. P. Mor gan, is the Erich Muenter who took his -degree of A. B. at the University ol Chicago in 1S99 and later fled from Cambridge, Mass., following the death of his wife, and has since been a ngi- tive. I and Holt being the same man. j "He has kept hidden all these years throueh a remarkable rehabilitation under the name of Holt. "Muenter was born in Germany bui since his rehabilitation has claimed tc have been born in Texas of German parentage. For a time he taught Ger man in a Chicago private preparatory institution. He also taught German In Radcliffe college for women. j "His wife was a German-American woman, as I remember her. She was about to give birth to her third child ttriion ),or laafVi nppiirrpfl Muenter ran .. - T . away from Cambridge with the wc children and brought them to Chicago where he turned them over to Mrs Muenter"s parents. Then still undetect ed by the authorities he went to Mex ico. " . '. I; . He worked for a while in Mexicc Citv as a stenographer. He shaved hi3 full beard and wore a soft hat instead of "the derby he had affected as Muen ter. A reward of $1,000 for his arrest has never been claimed. While a fugi tive he issued a review of his case couched in sarcastic terms and mailed it to some of his acquaintances. J "Under the name of Holt he showed up at the Agricultural and Mechanical college at College Station, Tex., pass ed 'the examination there and wa graduated. He married a classmate in the Texas school and has three chil dren by her. ) "He later taught German in Van derbilt university at Nashville, and attended Cornell university, where he obtaind his Ph. D. degree. "He was elected head of the depart ment of German of the Southern Meth odist university of Dallas, Tex and was to begin his work there next fall "I always considered him odd, but to talk with him you would not sus pect his eccentricities." J Muenter's sister, Miss Bertha Muen ter, a teacher in the public schools here, who lives with her aged mother said- she never had heard from her brother since his disappearance nine years ago. I "His poor mother Is 84 years old," she said. "She has nearly forgotten the terrible times of his disappearance in 1906. I hope he has not turned up to bring it all to the surface again." ; Mrs. Muenter died in Boston j on April 25, 1906. Only her husband was present at the time of her death,! as the Muenters -did not believe in doc tors, it was said. J 't The undertaker was suspicious and the stomach and internal organs were sent to Prof. Whitney, of Harvard, for analysis, but Muenter was allowed; to leave for Chicago with the "baby. j Prof. Whitney found traces of pois on in the stomach and a warrant was issued for Muenter. Before the Chic ago police were notified he had dis appeared. - ' '''..-: I At Harvard Muenter was instructor In three elementary German courset did some private tutoring and prepar ed a thesis on "insanity In German THE GREAT PROBLEM of many people is to have their money last through their lifetime. A single mistake in investment sometimes means misery. An annuity guarantee a fixed income for life and gives per f ct freedom from worry over money matters.

BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL. Christian Scientists To Erect a Monu ment to Mary Baker Eddy. Work has actually begun on a me morial to Mrs. Eddy to be erected in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, near Boston. An illustration of the memorial, as It will appear when completed, Is pro duced in the Christian Science Monitor for June 26, 1915. The site is one of great natural beauty, and the material to be used for the classic design is white granite The designer, Mr. Egerton Swartout of New York City, is one of the best known architects of the day. He is responsible for the design of the George Washington Memorial for Washington City, the new Missouri State Capitol, the new Federal build ing in Denver, Co., and many othet important works. The memorial for Mrs. Eddy, in cluding a fund for its future main tenance, is estimated to cost $110,000 The treasurer of the Mother Chucrb in Boston states that $75,604.43 of this amount has already been contributed LAWYER CHARGES PERJURY IN NOTED BECKER CASE. Hartford T. Marshall, a pomineni New York lawyer, who was counsel for "Bridgie" Weber, one of the chief witnesses against former Police Lieu tenant Charles Becker, sentenced to eloctrocution In the week ending July 26, at Sing Sing,; declares that-Webber admitted to. him he had committed perjury in the testimony he gave against the policeman. Mr. Marshall has kept silent for. two years, but on the eve of the execution of the police man he has: spoken, and he has thus thrown a bomb that has startled all those connected with the case. For unlike many lawyers practising; in, the criminal courts of New York City, he is a responsible and able attorney of fine standing. 'Becker had absolutely nothing to do with the murder of Rosenthal " declared Mr. Marshall. "Bridgie" Web ber, when he employed me as his counsel at the first trial, admitted this to me and said that he and the others were perjuring themselves in order to save their skins. "When Webber told me that I told him to get another lawyer. "I think the case is a damned out rage. Becker is an innocent man. 1 never would have entered the case had I not known from what 'Bridgie' Web ber told me that Becker was deliber ately 'framed up' by Webber, Harry Vallon, Jack Rose and SamSchepps," "Has Webber consented to let you reveal confidential communications be tweeh counsel and client? Has he agreed to waive his rights in that re spect?" was asked of Mr. Marshall. "I am going to take a chance on that," replied Mr. Marshall with a ring of determination in his voice. "Have you communicated with Web ber recently regarding the matter?" "I have not. I have not seen Wm since the first trial." "Do you expect Webber to permit you to disclose what he told you?" "I do not know, but I expect him to deny the story because of his immun ity agreement. I do not intend to make public Webber's conversations with me until I have laid them before Judge Bartlett." Restored to Good Health. "I . was sick for- four years with stomach trouble," write3 Mrs. ; Otto Gans, Zanesville, Ohio. "I lost weight and felt so weak that I almost gave up hope of being cured. A friend told me about Chamberlain's Tablets, and since using two bottles of them I have been well woman." Obtainable every where. NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION.

GENERAL MACKEfiSEII TO DIVIDE RUSSIANS In Southeast Galicia the Russians Are Fighting Tenaciously and Have the Advantage of Series of ParaUel Rivers. London, July 4. At a rate estimat ed at five miles a day General von Mackensen's German forces are still swinging northward in Galicia and Poland In a colossal and daring en deavor to drive a wedge Into the Rus sian center and dislodge the Russians from the Vistula river and force thorn back over the Bug thus splitting the grand duke's forces into two sections with thousands of acres of swamp and marsh land between them. If the Austro-Germans can continue their progress another week, even the British press admits the Russians will have to give up Warsaw and with it the whole line. Meanwhile the Ger mans are massing more troops in the Baltic provinces and "the recent en counter in the Baltic seems to suggest that they contemplate co-ordinate na val action, but it is possible that the sea operations only were a feint. In southeast Galicia the Russians are fighting tenaciously and have the advantage of a remaarkable series of parallel rivers beyond the Gniia Lipa and the Austro-German advance is likely to be costly. IN HONOR OF MISS CRAWFORD. Miss Mary Lou Crawford, as noted in the Argus some days ago, has been visiting in Thomas-ville, and the press reports from that town contain the following social functions given in her honor: At "Glen Anna," the suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. G.

McDowell, soil survey expert of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, who for months have been diligently and comprehensively at work in Wayne county, " throughout its entire length and breadth, making a soil map of the county, have completed this important work and sent their drawings and data 'in to the Department at Wash ington for mapping and printing, and these gentlemen will leave tomorrow for other counties for similar work, and , the many friends they have made here will always hold them in pleas ing remembrance. The purpose of a soil survey is to map, classify and corralate soils, to determine and describe their field char acteristics, to report on the actual use being made of the soils and on their adaptation to various crops, so far aa can be determined, and upon the rel ative productiveness of the several soil types. The soil experts have clearly in mind the real value of the work they are doing and of its relation to the great industries of the county. In tho gradual evolution of agricultural work . the basic nature of the soil survey has come to be recognized. It is acknowl edged that its primary function is to accumulate and make available knov1- edge concerning the soil, the soil's re lation to crops and the actual agricul tural conditions obtaining as to the soils of the county. This knowledge valuable to many classes of people, most of whom can be grouped under four heads: First, scientific men engaged in the investi gation of problems relating to plant production, to farm management, to farm demonstration, to stock raising, to problems of rural organization, to road building: in short, to many of the branches of agricultural science; sec ond, the farmer; third, colonists, col onizing agencies, investors, develop ment organizations and individuals; Fourth, sudents of geographic, social and economic sciences without infer ence to agricultural industries. v The soil survey is recognized as a scientific institution engaged in the accumulation of data bearing upon" tha soil and its relation to agriculture. The soil survey field-men are scien tists and their results are important and their methods are scientific, as much so in their particular field as those of other scientists in their special lines of endeavor, whether woi king in the field, office, or labo-Ttory. Their iaetLods are not the same as those of laboratory men but "the results i.re just as reliable when they have used their methods just as effectively. No other scientific man has ever had an opportunity to study the actual soil and agricultural conditions' of any county so clearly and in as much de tail as does the soil survey field-man. In the survey of Wayne county each individual soil type has been separat ed, and a sample of each taken for both chemical and mechanical analysis. Results from this and experimental data collected by the State department of Agriculture at Raleigh place this department in a position to assist the farmers in such problems as crop adaptation to individual soil types. methods of fertilization, systems of rotation and the best methods of prof itable crop production. . A detailed soil map, showing the exact location of each soil type, upon a base map showing the location of all public and secondary roads, rail roads, streams, x churches, school houses, dwelling houses and township lines, with an extensive report giving a detailed description of all soil typs, together with an account of the agri cultural conditions of the county will be available to all citizens of Wayne county in about eighteen months or two years; and may be had upon ap plication to the congressman of this district. v The Argus man has been permitted to view the soil map of Wayne county just completed by Messrs. Derrick and McDowell, and it is. 1 deed a wonder ful piece of work. And what is more, the scientific researches and tests made by these gentlemen have reveal ed the flattering and encouraging fact that Wayne county has a variety of soils capable of producing all crops known to agriculture and In this fea ture is second to no county In the United States. Let's appreciate and promote our great county. FOR RENT Six room cottage near Goldsboro Hospital. For terms ap ply at Geo. E. Hood's office.
