TO ILL HEALTH
Gored by Bull and Injured
Zena Man Who Recent
ly Lost Wife, Kills Self
at Home.
111 health, resulting from in
juries received a' short time ago
when he was attacked by a bull
and possible grieving over the
death of his wife, who died May
28 from injuries received the
evening before when an automo
bile gasoline tank exploded, are
believed to be the reasons why
Milford Harvey Crawford, a farm
er, 36 years of age, living near
Zena, Polk county, committed sui
cide at his home this morning
about 8:30 by shooting himself in
the head with a 12-guage shotgun.
No message was left stating the
actual reasons for the act.
George H. Crawford, father of
the deceased, Is said to have heard
the shot and as soon as he saw
what had happened he reported
the case by telephone to Coroner
Chapman. It is understood that
the coroner after investigating the
case reported that no Inquest
would be held. The body is now
at the Rigdon mortuary. Funeral
announcements will be announced
later.
Mrs. Crawford's death resulted
when Mr. Crawford with a blow
torch endeavored to thaw some
mechanism under the automobile
which had frozen and in some
way the flames ignited that gaso
line, with the explosion following,
She lived but about 12 hours.
Judging from the mangled con
dition of Mr. Crawford's face and
the back of his head It appears
like he had the muzzle of the gun
against his head. His face was
torn beyond all recogition. Be
sides his father, who was living
with him near Zena, the deceased
survived by three brothers,
Edgar C, William M., and S. D.,-
all of Salem, and a baby girl who
was born a short time before Mrs.
Crawford's death.

N
Portland, Ore., Sept. 12. An
other attempt to sidetrack revision
of the prayer book was made In
the house of deputies of the gen
eral conference here today of the
Protestant Episcopal church In
the United States and a resolu
tion to that effect proposed by
Judee George F. Henry of Des
Moines, Iowa, was rejected.
The house of bishops today
asked the house of deputies for a
conference on constitutional
amendments which would give a
vote in the house of bishops to
suffragan bishops. The bishops
had finally adopted this amend
ment yesterday at the time the
bouse voted Indefinitely to post
pone action on the matter.
Bishop J. H. Johnson of Los
Angeles presented' a memorial
from Los Angeles communicants
asking the house of bishops to
"consider the use of unfermented
wine In the holy communion and
to grant a change thereto, or at
least to give permission to use the
same by those priests or persons
to whom this question is a mat
ter of conscience."
The house of deputies referred
to it committee on constitution,
the report of the commission on
women In the church which
recommends that women be given
seats in the house of deputies.
The house of bishops concluded
consideration of the proposed
changes In the rites of baptism,
after rejecting a proposal by
Bishop Boyd Vincent of southern
Ohio, who introduced a simplified
form of the apostle's creed.
Bishop Vincent said there were
many men who could not con-
Bcientloualy subscribe to every-
article of the creed.
