BOMB FACTORY IN SEATTLE
POund in Home of German Anarchist
Now In Hamburg.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 2. (Special.)
August Rosenberg, an Indolent brick
layer und rabid socialist, who resided at
2209 Sixth avenue, this city, has been
under surveillance at Hamburg, Ger
many, ever since he landed there sev
sral days ago, suspected of complicity
in a plot to assassinate Emperor
William.
Kvidence found in this city today
confirms the suspicions of the German
police. Crucibles, chemicals, high ex
plosives and bomb-making materials
sufficient to blow up half the city were
discovered In the cellar of his Seattle
home. Acting at the request of Ger
man Consul Geissler, who was notified
by ihe German government of the plot,
the search was made by the local au
thorities. The Hamburg police wore notified of
Rosenberg's intentions by a German
neighbor, to whom he had confided his
plans. Fear for the life of the latter
has caused his name to be withheld.
Although Rosenberg posed as a
bricklayer, he had not worked at his
trade here for the past five years, pre
sumably being maintained here by an
anarchistic circle. He is known to
have taken prepared bombs with him
to Germany, leaving only the introduc
tion of the nltro-glycerin and a primer
to be done upon reaching German soil.
PROSECUTE FISHERMEN.
Washington Attorney-General Says
They Monopolize Grounds.
OLYMPIA. Wash., July 2. (Spe
cial.) Attorney-General J. D. Atkin
son has been called on to prosecute
Btleged violators of the Washington
fishing laws, who are residents of Ore
gon. Complaint has been tiled with
the Attorney-General charging viola
tion of the statute prohibiting the
holding or owning of more than three
licenses for owning, constructing or
operating pound nets or other fixed
appliances for catching salmon fish in
the waters of the Columbia River in
the State of Washington.
It is claimed to be the Intent of the
statute to limit the owershlp and oper
ation of pound-net fish-traps and fixed
appliances, so as to prevent the mo
nopoly of the fishing-grounds and per
mit the enjoyment of this privilege
to be as general among the citizens of
this state as possible, and such privi
leges are limited to citizens of the
State of Washington.
It is alleged that two large corpora
tions of Oregon own and operate about
60 pound-nets on the Columbia River
in the state of Washington.
PAVED STREETS FOR SALEM
Council Hits Upon Plan Which May
Solve Problem.
SALEM, Or.. July 2. (Special.) A move
ment was started in the Salem City
Council this evening which is expected
to mark the beginning of street paving in
the Capital City. Salem is now without
a foot of paved streets. Many efforts to
Interest property-owners favorably In an
enterprise of this kind have failed, but
tonight a number of heavy property
owners on State street petitioned the
Council to order the paving of State from
Commercial to Church, three blocks, with
bltullthic pavement.
It is believed that when one street has
been paved property-owners on other
business slreets will find it necessary to
pave their streets also. The difficulty has
been that Salem has streets 71 feet wide
from curb to curb, much wider than
Portland streets, and paving Is therefor
very expensive.
It U proposed to widen the sidewalks to
18 feet, thus reducing the street to 63 feet.
SALEM WILL BE THE MECCA

SALEM. Or.. July 2. (Special.) Salem

secret organizations, floats and carriages,
a feature of the parade will be an ag
gregation of plug-uglies.
In the afternoon a long programme of
footraces will furnish entertainment for
the crowd. In the evening a pyrotech
nical display will be given on the Willam
ette River.

TELLS REVOLTING STORY
(Continued From Page L)
would be objected to, and It was de
sired by Mr. Morris and Mr. Shipley
to And Just what latitude they might
expect in handling their case.
By repeating his story of Holy Roll
erism in the form of a statement that
he had made to young Mitchell, prior
to the killing, Mr. Hurt was permitted,
under Judge Frater's ruling, to testi
fy concerning Creffleld and Creffield's
pernicious teachings.
Mr. Hurt is a man of about 55 years,
stockily built, Intelligent and kindly of
appearance. He spoke in a hesitating
manner and had to be frequently
prompted to proceed In laying bare his
family misfortunes. Several times he
had to stop speaking and fight for self
control. What He Told Mitchell.
After stating, in response to a ques
tion, that he was the father of Maud
Hurt Creffleld, the dead man's widow,
he said:
"I met the defendant, Mr. Mitchell,
In Portland, the last week in March.
I cold him Creffleld was out of prison
and described to him the effects of
his power over the women folks.
"I told him that Creffleld used to get
his followers to lie on the floor and
roll about, praying and shouting. He
would keep telling them that God
would smite them unless they did as
he said. He claimed to be the Savior,
I have known Creffleld to keep them
rolling about on the floor in this man
ner for from 12 to 24 hours at one time.
His power over his followers, who
were nearly all women, was something
wonderful. They did whatever he said.
They were dead to all human sympa
thies. They let their children, their
husbands and their parents go uncared
for and without a kind thought or
word.
Obeyed Him Like Children.
"Creffleld would say, for example, as
I told young Mitchell, 'Esther Mitchell,
you do this;' and she would do it. He
would tell my wife or daughter to do
a thing and It would be done as he
said.
"When they got together for religious
services, all would He on the floor. Cref
fleld would walk about among them and
sometimes he would roll about, too. While
lying this way they were supposed to re
ceive messages from God. Creffleld would
keep telling them to pray and shout with
all their might or God would smite them.
"These things happened mostly at my
home while I was away, prior to the time
Creffleld was sent to the penitentiary.
"Esther Mitchell came to me one day
and said she h?d received an inspiration
from God that he would smite me unless
I made my peace with him. She warned
me not to attempt to go to town that
day, as I had been In the habit of doing.
Drove His Family Insane.
"When I talked the matter over with
George Mitchell I told him they were all
in a religious frenzy and that all of them
had been driven crazy by Creffleld. I
told him that my wife, Mrs. O. V. Hurt,
my son, Frank, and my daughter. May
Hurt, had all been sent to asylums as
a result of their associations with Cref
fleld. I told him that his sister, Esther,
had been taken from my home, where
she had been staying, to the Boys' and
Girls' Aid Society, at Portland, because
of her mental state. I told him his sister
was completely 'off on account of this
religion.
"At one time, as Creffield's power grew,
they offered a sacrifice of two dogs and a
cat. I heard there had been talk of offer
ing up a little girl as a sacrifice. Creffleld
made them turn the pictures of their
homes to the wall, saying such things
partook of vanity and the world. About
this time the Sheriff of Linn County
came to my home and took Creffleld away
to be examined as to his sanity. They
did not send him to an asylum, and he
came back.
Tells of the Naked Orgies.
"It finally came to such a pass that
Creffleld made the women burn all their
clothes as a sacrifice and wear nothing
but thin wrappers. These garments even
would be dispensed with during the roll
ing services. My wife and daughter and
Mitchell's sisters submitted to these
teachings. They refused to sit in chairs.
They would not eat In my presence, and
those who had children would neglect
them. .My wife neglected her little girl."
"That man. gentlemen of the jury,
ruined my life. He ruined my home and
my family. I told Mitchell the man
ruined his sisters.
"Under Creffield's Influence my little
daughter grew so she would have noth
ing to do with me. She would not talk
with me or come near me. I had her
removed then to the Boys' and Girl's Aid
Society. After she had been there a few
days she grew tired of It. She sent for me
and said she was ready to come back to
my home. When she came home 1 learned
from her lips all that had been going on.
Little Girl Confesses All.
"Out in our yard, as I held her on my
knee, she told me the story. She asked
me not to be harsh with my wife, her
mother, because she had been among the
last to bend to Creffield's will. When he
gave her a command that I will not re
peat, my wife refused to obey, my little
girl told me. Then Creffleld drove my
wife to do his bidding. He told her if she
refused he would drive her out of the
church, and that God would smite her.
Then she submitted.
At this point the state entered an ob
jection to the witness' recital of things
not directly bearing on the point, claim
ing that they were Irrevelant and Imma
terial. The point was being argued when
the hour for adjournment arrived. Mr.
Hurt will conclude his testimony In the
morning.
Brothre Attempted Suicide.
The testimony adduced from other wit
nesses was of less consequence. Mrs.
Starr, when finally brought into court,
admitted with reluctance that she was
a sister of the defendant. She identified
a Creffleld letter which Is to be put In
evidence later, and admitted ' having
known that her brother, Fred, shot him
self in Portland about three years ago.
Similar, testimony was given by Esther
Mitchell in response to questions. Both
women will probably be given a more
protracted examination on the witness
stand later on in the trial.
Mr. Mills, the other witness, was an
old friend of the Mitchell family. It Is
intended to prove by him and others hat
young Mitchell inherits peculiarities and
eccentricities bearing on religion from his
father, Charles Mitchell. In the event
this line of testimony is admitted, Mr.
Mills will be on the stand again tomorrow.
There are about 30 witnesses to be heard
in Mitchell's behalf, and it is doubted if
the case will be placed in the hands of
the jury before the end of the week, or
the fore part of next week.
Shipley's Opening Statement.
In his opening statement Mr. Shipley
said he would not deny the killing and
explained that' Mitchell's coolness, on
which the state had dwelt, was the re
sult of a fanatic hallucination that he
had been ordered by the spirit of his dead
mother to kill Creffleld.
He laid great stress on the fact that
the elder Mitchell is a man of strongly
religious nature, first Quaker then a Sal
vation army follower, and that this mor
blh religious strain was inherited by the
entire family, his son the defendant, be
ing a Spiritualist.
After outlining Creffield's career from
the date of his releaes from the Oregon
state prison up to the time of his second
marriage with Maud Hurt at Seattle, Mr.
Shipley continued:
"Shortly after this George Mitchell Is
confined in the hospital at Portland with
measles. The doctor who attended him
will testify as to his condition at that time
and will testify that the sole theme of -the
defendant's conversation, even in his de
lirium, was of his two sisters, and par
ticularly Esther. At this time he claims
that his mother had revealed to him that
Creffleld was again at large and that his
influence was again going to be exerted
over those two sisters. He asserted that
the spirits had revealed the fact that it
was going to be given to him to bring
this unholy influence of Creffleld to a
close, the manner not yet being revealed,
however.
Mrs. Starr's Farewell Note.
"One night toward the end of April,
some time between the close of the day
and the ushering In of the morn, Mr.
Starr awakes to find that his wife has left
him, leaving a note. The.next day the de
fendant calls at the house and reads the
note, something to this effect: 'I cannot
wait until daylight because the babies
would cry to go with me'. I have taken
about $3.50 of your money, but I guess I
have been worth that much to you. It Is
not enough to pay my fare, and I will
have to walk to the place I am going.'
"This brother, the defendant, reads that
letter and takes the motherless babies on
his lap, one of 7 months, one of 3 and an
other of 5 years, and cries over them. He
tells them that his mother has told him
that God would reveal to him where their
mother had gone that God was going to
tell him and he would bring mamma back
to them."
Mr. Shipley concluded along similar
lines, showing the belief of Mitchell in
spiritualism, and said that several wit
nesses would testify from the stand as to
conversations held with Mitchell in which
he had affirmed his revelations given from
the spirits, particularly that of his
mother, in which he was told that he
would remove Creffleld from the world.
DEFIED BY WOMAN BARBER
Washington State Examiners Finally
Cause Her Arrest.
TACOMA. Wash., July 2. (Special.)
Mrs. Carrie Walker, the woman barber
who for over two weeks has defled the
State Board of Barber Examiners by con
tinuing her work after a license had been
refused her, was arrested today on a war

BEAT STARVED GIRL
Stepmother's Cruelties End in
Child's Death.
HER HUSBAND WAS AFRAID
Thrashing Recently Received at the
Irate Woman's Hands Compelled
Him to Lay Off Work
for Eight Days.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, July 2 (Spec
ial.) After a stream of people had been
permitted all day to view the remains
of 6-year-old Elsie Anderson, alleged to
have met her death from frightful beat
ings received from her step-mother.
Sheriff DeNormandie ordered the place
closed owing to the manifest sentiment
of the people, which might tend toward
gathering a mob. The father, in a state
ment today, said that when he returned
home yesterday he found that his wife
had locked herself in her room and
poured kerosene on her dress, with the
avowed intention of killing herself. He
broke open the door, he says, and saved
her.
The police have discovered a bloody
night dress in the child's room, together
with bloody bandages six feet long, which
other children say were placed about
Elsie's neck and arms while she was in
bed.
"We told papa about It, but he was
afraid of mama, because she beat him,"
said the eldest, aged 12. "She beat us and
put her hand over our mouths so that we
could not scream."
While the coroner's inquest will not be
held until tomorrow, a post-mortem ex
amination shows the child's organs were
normal but that she had not had food
for some time before her death.
"I didn't know what I was doing when
I was beating her," wailed the step
mother. "When she did naughty things
I simply couldn't stand it. I wanted to
kill her."
The father told the Coroner that as a
result of the last beating his wife gave
him he was compelled to lay off work
for eight days.
Physicians who examined the body of
the child declared that she had been
beaten to death. The body presents a
horrible sight. From the top of her head
to the soles of her feet there are not four
square inches not punctured with what
are believed to be nail holes, or covered
with ugly wounds. One of the child's
shoulders was broken.
Neighbors say that for three weeks
the woman has kept the child hidden
from Its father. When the father re
turned to hia home at night the little
one was shut up in the attic. Marks on
her arms indicate that she was tied with
ropes.

Broken in health, the
result of a disease con
tracted on the battle
field, and suffering from
a general breakdown,
Mr. Nickerson was re
stored to robust, happy
health by the use or Duf
fy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
This is his sincere let
ter of thanks:
When a man is discouraged and con
stantly suffering he very naturally has
a deep feeling for the remedy that
brings him the happiness attained
through robust health.
I take a tcaspoonful of Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey every morning, beaten
up with a raw egg and two-thirds of
a glass of milk. On retiring at night
I take a tablespoonful in hot water and
sugar.
Before I began with Duffy's I was
badly broken In health and completely
run down.
My right leg and foot was cold up
to my knee all the time, and I could
not keep warm nights.
Was also bothered with shakes, con
tracted through exposure during the
Civil War, when I served In the United
States Army.
I recommended Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey to all old soldiers, or, in
fact, to any person who is broken in
health or growing old.
Now, though I am a temperance man,
despising the indiscriminate use of in
toxicants, I heartily indorse Duffy's
Pure Malt "Whiskey. HIRAM NICKER
