HOLY ROLLER
NOW AT WORK
J. Edwin Creffield Busily Engag
ed in the Penitentiary
Stove Foundry.
FIVE VICTIMS IN THE ASYLUM
Insane Persons Still Cling to tli
Con v lot's Teachings aul
Try Hani to Follow
Them.
Salem, Ore., Sept. 22. J. E. CreffleKl,
the founder and leader of Holy Roller
Ism, is earning bis bread by the sweat
of his brow. He is earning an honest
living, if not at an honest niun'a em
ployment Along with scores of other
men in convict stripes, ht Is helping
to set up stoves in the foundry at toe
Oregon penitentiary, and ia doing faith
ful work and giving no trouble.
If he has any religious beliefs which
he desires to import to others, he care
fully restrains his desire, for not a
word has passed his lips since his ar
rival at the prison to indicate that he
has any message to communicate to
mankind. The next morning after he
was brought here he was assigned to
duty In the stove foundry, and he has
gone through the regular prison rout
ine, as every other prisoner has done.
Across the field a half mile away, at
the state insane asylum, are confined
five persons whose lives were wrecked
by Creffleld and whose mental derange
ment shows no signs of improvement.
Seven persons were sent to the asy
lum because of the immoral delusions
put into their heads by the teachings
of Creffleld. These were: Mrs. Cref
field, Frank Hurt. Mrs. Hurt. Mrs. O.
V. Hurt, Miss Seley, Miss Hartley and
Miss Bray.
Miss Seley improved enough so that
she was given over to the custody of
friends, who are caring for her. Mrs.
O. V. Hurt was taken home last week,
though she has not recovered. All the
others show no indication of abandon
ing their delusions. They persist In
going barefoot, wearing their hair un
kempt and reading their Bibles. Under
the rules of the Institution they are not
permitted to be careless in their dress
or behavior, but at every opportunity
they try to return to the ways taught
them by Creffleld.
Before Creffleld went Into hiding be
told his followers not to fear for his
well-being, for the Lord would pro
tect him and the officers could not cap
ture him. Asylum authorities were of
the opinion that as soon as Creffleld
had been captured his adherents would
see the falsity of bis claims and lose
faith In him and his teachings. This
much-desired effect has not been expe
rienced, however, for neither the cap
ture nor the conviction and imprison
ment of their leader has in the least
weakened the hold of the Holy Rollers
upon their strange delusions.
BIG STEEL RAIL ORDER.
Offer of S24 Per Ton by Hsrriman Re
fused. New Tork, Sept. 22. Negotiations for
the purchase of close to 100,000 tons of
steel rails from the United States Steel
Corporation by the Harrlman lines
were said yesterday to be pending,
with a probability of being closed In
a day or two. The Pittsburg report
that the contract had been completed
was denied at the office of E. H. Har
rlman.
An official of the United States Steel
Corporation said yesterday that the
Harrlman lines some weeks ago of
fered to buy 100,000 tons delivered at
$24 a ton. They were told that unless
they were willing to pay the pool price
$28 negotiations might as well be
dropped. They continued, however, and
a steel manufacturer in a position to
speak authoritatively, said yesterday
that the order would be placed soon,
at the pool price.
The United States Steel Corporation
is willing, however, to sign a contrct
guaranteeing a rebate provided there Is
any reduction In the price of rails.
The order, if placed, will be divided be
tween the United States Steel Corpor
ation and the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company.
STEAMER MASCOT 8INKS.
Strikes a Bar in the Mouth of Lewis
River Accident to Altona.
Oregonlan: The steamer Mascot, of
the Kamra line, Is temporarily out of
business. At last reports she was ly
ing on the bottom at the mouth of the
Lewis river with her lower deck cov
ered with several Inches of water. The
steamer struck on a sandbar at 8
o'clock Tuesday night while on her
way from this city to points on Lewis
river. The accident caused her to spring
a leak and in a short time she had
gone to the bottom lit the shallow wa
ter. A number qf passengers were
aboard and these were landed safely
In the steamer's small boats. The Mas
cot carried about 20 tons of freight,
most of which was rained so as to be
ubove damage by water. The com
pony's steamer O. V. Walker was sent
down to the scene as soon as news oi
the accident was received, and as she
curried a full supply of wrecking ap
paratus. It Is expected that not much
time will be lost In getting the steamer
atloat and back to this city. In the
meantime the steamer Leona will look
after the Mascot's business.
Another accident to a river boat oc
curred at about the same time. The
Altona. of the Oregon City line, en
countered a boulder where it was least
to be expected In the locks at Oregon
City with the result that two large
holes were punched in her hull near
the bow. She quickly settled on the
bottom, but temporary repairs were
soon made and she was brought to this
city. She will be In shupe ugulu for
service this morning.
