ALL TRAINS ARE SEARCHED Despoller of Homes May Be Roughly Handled if He Falls Into the Hands of Some of the Irate Husbands. ALBANY, May 2. (Special.) The wrath of deserted husbands caused Creffield and hla Holy Holler followers to scatter from their late rendexvous near Waldport. in Lincoln County. Mrs. Maud Creffield, wife of the "Apostle" and daughter of O. B. Hurt, a prominent citizen of Cor vallis, was in Albany last evening on th way to Portland. She seemed to have fully recovered from her recent mental trouble that car.sed her confine ment In the state Insane asylum. While her mind seema right, she declares her intention of remaining; with Creffield. , When the Crefflelds went to their camp ing ground on the coast, they were im mediately followed by many of the women of Benton County, who had been under the apell of the "prophet." and tha orgies of the Holy Rollers were reported to have begun again. People In Benton County became aroused and heads of families that were broken up by the teachings and practices of Creffield began talking ominously. Some gun play was indulged In by irate fathers and hus bands, who followed Creffield to Wald port and Creffield found things too hot for him. When Mrs. Creffield appeared in Al bany, she was trailed by a number of Corvallis men. who were seeking through her to ascertain the whereabouts of her husband. Last Sunday information wa Bent from the bay that Creffield had de parted from his camp, and the Holy Hol lers were dispersed. The head of the new organisa.tion waa said to have headed for Junction City. When Mrs. Creffield appeared on the way to Port land it was immediately suspected that the prophet had headed for Junction City for tha purpose of boarding the train there, joining his wife in Albany, and thence go to Portland. Last night even- train, freight or pas senger, that passed through Albany from the south was watched by a number of Corvallis men, who. were, seeking the re ligious fanatic and despoller of homer. Just what was in store for Creffield is not known, for he failed to show up, although every freight train was searched thoroughly. That ho is wanted by juctly indignant men seems to be a fact well known to the chief Holy Roller, for when he left the seaside camp he went alone and by a route unknown to his followers, and has studiously avoided Benton Coun ty, where he is wanted. By some unaccountable power. Creffield holds a terrible influence over his fol lowers. In the last gathering of the Holy Roller cian were women who left pleas ant homes and infant children to the care of strangers. Men have become des perate in their indignation, and those who were seeking Creffield last evening were terribly in earnest. Reports have reached Albany of one attempt by a wronged husband to kill the apostle at Waldport, whither the apostle had been followed. Knights of Columbus Election. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. May 2.

Term "Advisory Board" Will Be Vsed to Avoid Conflict With the Antl-TruM Law. S RATTLE. Wash.. May J. (Special.) Shingle manufacturers of British Colum bia. Washington, Oregon and California will meet here Saturday to form a com bination intended to control the shingle output of the Coast. The various local organizations of the shingle manufactur ers will retain their identity, but it is planned to form a central bureau that will dictate in matters of output and pricea. To avoid the anti-trust laws, this central organiaation may be termed an advisory board. A group of Eastern retailers is on its way West to attend the meeting and to urge the elimination of the shingle gam blers from the trade. They will make a strong protest against the class of whole salers who have been bearing the market with price Hats quoting shingles at less than the existing selling prices. The re tailers allege they have invariably found that the Coast wholesalers en the bear side have refused to fill orders if the market does not break. An effort will be made at Saturday's meeting to establish permanent grades and fix the difference between the prices of different grades on a permanent basis. Heretofore it has fluctuated as the de mand for low and high-grade shingles shifted. The success of the shingle manufactur ers' closing movement this year, in which Oregon and California mills joined, is re sponsible for the effort to establish per manently & bureau that can control the output.
