Mrs. CreffleU Arrestee. George II. Mitchell, who shot Franz Edmund Creffield, leader of the Holy Rollers, in Seattle, May 7, was acquitted Tuesday, July to Just two days after the above an uouncement was made George Mitchell was shot down by his sis ter Esther, at the Union depot in Seattle, iust aa he was going to take the train to come to Portland Miss Mitchell was walking be hind her two brothers, in company with a third brother. Fred. She had gone to the depot lor the pur- Dose of killine her brother. and though she greeted him with smile and a hearty handshake, she loitered behind to get her oppor tumtv. A revolver purchased the day before by Mrs. Creffield for the assassination was carried concealed I under a cape thrown carelessly over Esther Mitchell's left arm. ftrfA Mitchell nPTrreA tn Cflrrv . me cape ana as sne nanaeu. u to t . i i . him, the sister raised the revolv er and fired. The bullet struck young Mitchell bf hind the left ear a na.a.,tf . j As the gun was brought up Fred Mitchell leaped to seize the weapon but he was too late. He grabbed Esther's arm just after she fired and the girl collapsed in his arms. She stayed there until depot police man hurried up and placed her un der arrest. Both Esther Mitchell and Mrs. Creffield who was arrested, ac knowledged in statements taken f . . .1... .v. uclulc wuici w ajipcusiciu uui iucjr bad conspired to kill George, Had it been necessary Esther Mitchell was prepared to follow her brother to Portland. ' It was(this insane de mand for vengeance that prompted her to refuse to accompany her father on his return to Illinois. "I killed George because he had killed an innocent man, and be cause he had ruined my reputation by saying that Creffield seduced me," Esther Mitchell declared, but both her statement and that of Mrs. Creffield indicate that the two had conspired to assassinate. Corvallis, Or., July 12 The feel ing of satisfaction felt here over the acquittal of George Mitchell gives place to one ot sorrow tonight over the news that the slayer has been slain by the hand of his own sister. The entire population is deeply con cerned. Esther Mitchell left this town for Seattle to join Mrs. Maud Hurt Creffield as soon as the news of the shooting of Creffield was received. On the subject of Rollerism she was always the most fanatical ot any of Creffield's followers. This was evi dent in the earner days oi the cult, when she was the most enthusiastic of all who practiced it. It is well known that it was Esth er Mitchell that Creffield originally selected to be his companion, but that the plan was disarranged by her being taken East, after which Creffield married Maude Hurt. Esther Mitchell was the first one to be committed to the Boys' and Girls' Home, having been until that time an inmate for some time of the home of O. VP Hurt. " Then, as now and at all other times, there was a far-a-way look in her eyes and she had an ab sorbed air. Little interest was tak en in affairs about her. She rarely smiled, and was never eay. In disposition, however, she was kind ly and gentle. ' I am not surprised to hear ot this terrible affair," said Mr. Hurt Esther Mitchell Is, as I said in my testimony at Seattle, and have al ways said, off on this subject They were all mentally unsound on this religious business, , though well-balanced on all other subjects.

JULY 20, lOOfi cult is no more than might nave been suspected. "I was with Esther Mitchell and my daughter in Seattle and was twice wib them when they visited Creffield's grave, but nothing was dropped on either occasion giving any hint of a desire for revenge. But underneath this religious hal lucination and controlled by it ran a current al fanaticism that I was familiar with, and which, before I left Seattle, caused me to advise George Mitchell, In case of his ac quittal. to leave there at once and come to Portland and their go about his business. ''I felt that something might happen, and in this tragedy ot this afternoon mv fears are realized. It is a most melancholy affair." Erther Mitchell was 18 years old last January. While a witness at the Seattle trial Tames K. Berry, of this city, was asked by the Mitchell brothers to visit her and ascertain if she would consent to accom pany her father and Perry Mitchell to Portland, and there keep house for them. .... r . nil Vindlv otirt crarlouslv re Esther W9, then with the. nolice . . tuauuu viucu x i'Miucu uijr T 1 -... -.J errand she readily consented to the , , d..i a. ...!.. retused to va. Jtast. There was nothing in her manner at the time 0 " of the interview to lead me to anti- cioate such trouble as has occurred. althoutrh she was anirrv with her brother tor this Villinr of Creffield. and did not hesitate to say so. "The fact that she declared alter the shooting that she was com manded by Joshua to do it; that she shot her brother in about the same spot that he had shot Creffield, show how completely she is under the spell of her betrayor stijl, and in all things connected with religion as crazy as a loon. On all other subjects she is well balanced and intelligent." Earthquake in New Mexico. EI Paso, N. M., July 13 Earth quake shocks throughout central and Southern New Mexico early .. . , , . ' m uiuiuiug auuun lUIUgS up luu- siderably. The disturbance was felt all the way from Socorro on the Sante Fe railroad, between El Paso and Sante Fe, southwest to Silver City, and throughout the interven ing districts. At Socorro people were thrown from their beds, chimneys toppled over and dishes were broken. At San Marcial, near there, dish es were rattled and plaster fell from ceilings. At Silver City no damage was done, but several distinct shocks were felt and people awakened. In many of the mining camps the shocks were severe and it is re ported that there are fissures in the ground in many places. Socorro has been having earthquake shocks tor the past week and quivers were felt two months ago throughout northern Arizona. A New York special savs that Terrance McNamus, one of Thaw's counsel, states that everv mail brings a flood of a new kind, cranks offering all sorts of circumstantial testimony in connection with the tragedy, but always accomoanv th offer with "Please says that nearly everv miMA chorus girl is boasting of atteutions sne claims White paid to her.

JAQUITII NEW NATURAL IZATIOH LAW AN END TO AUEN FRAUDS. A Mere Complicated Farm to Com. ply Wit". """ "enoe to Ruah in Vttars. St Louis has occa uon to remem ber a series of gross frauds in nat uralization for which, after trial and conviction ia tbe United States courts, several offenders were sent to the penitentiary. Among those who are in strips, for this crime are an officer of the court of appeals and a branch president of the Jefferson club. The evidence saowea that immigants who had landed ouly a tew months before were induced to perjure themselves and cast ballots in elections here. Droves of aliens were rushed through the court in this manner, and most of the busi ness ot naturalization. Early in June the House passed 1 greatly a- mended naturalization law and last Lnnth t received tbe approval of the - v' en the necessity lor sucn a mea I rovm m n rfH t tn Vila 3UIC.

By the national constitution Con- eress has authority to establish, a uniform rule ot naturalization,' ana it has now acted with a denmteness, and thoroughness never before at tamed. The new law is based on tne report ot tbe commission created by the President'iO'invcsfigate the subject, the members of the com mission representing tbe depart ments dealing with the naturaliz ation of aliens and legal prosecutions . .t. .f A bureau of im- . . ,. migration and naturalization hence forth takes the place of the bureau of immigration in the department of commerce and labor. It is re quired to keep at immigrant sta tions books of record in which are registered all aliens entering the United States, with full details of identification. Certificates of reg' istry are granted each alien by gov ernment commissioners at the port of landing. An alien desiring to become a citizen must first make oath in a competent court at least two years before naturalization and, alter reaching the age ot eighteen, that is his bona fide intention to be come an American citizen, renounc ing his former allegiance, giving name, age, occupation, personal de scription, birth place, last foreign residence and allegiance, date of arrival, name of vessel on which he came to this country and present address. At the end of not less than two years, and not more than seven, the applicant must file his petition in duplicate setting forth his eligibi ty. lie must be able to speak Eng lish, and must declare that he in tends to become a permanent resi dent of the country. This petition must be filed ninty days before the hearing in court and be verified by two American citizens, residents of the United States for five years and of the state for one year. These citizens must testify that the appli cant is of good moral character and entitled to become a citizen. At tbe same time must be furnished the department of commerce and labor record in the case. The final step must be taken in open court. In any court the United States dis trict attorney is empowered to ap pear to examine into and, if consid ered necessary, to oppose a natura lization order. The old order o thines that left naturalization at the mercy of ward bummers and corrupt court officers, with the criminals higher up directing the infamous jobs, is completely brok n up by the new law. There are now 100 cases of ty phoid fever in the city of Tendle ton. Few deaths have resulted up to this time, and all precautions are beinjf taken to prevent the spread of the disease. St. Anthony's hos pital is crowded with patients and it is impossible to get the sick into ahospitalin the city. Since the uood ot tbe latter part of May, when Umatilla county was flooded the water has not been considered strictly pure and the health officers warned people to boil all the water tor drinking purposes, but in many cases this was not done, though not all cases are attributed to this. The weather is very warm, making it very hard for the patients. A Tragic Finish. A watchman's neglect permitted a leak in the great North Sea dyke, which a child's finger could have stopped, to become a ruinous break, devastating an entire province of Holland. In like manner Kenneth Mclver, of Vanceboro, Me., per mitted a little cold to go unnoticed until a tragic finish was only avert ed by Dr. King's New Discovery. He writes: "Three doctors gave me up to die of lung inflammation, caused by a neglected cold; but Dr. King's New Discovery saved my life." Guaranteed best cough and cold cure at all drug stores. 50c and $ 1. 00. Trial bottle free. A Hidden Compliment. The schoolmaster opened the dirty envelope and smoothed out the crumpled sheet ot paper. His brow contracted as he read the first word. Who had dared to insult him thus he, a village school-mas ter? This is what he read: "Cur, ass, you are a man of no legs I wish to inter my son in your skull." Who was insulting him? Who had dared to play a practical joke on him? Then the truth slowly dawned. He had received some queer letters from illiterate parents, but this was the strangest of all. With a tellow-master, he translated it correctly like this: "Sir As you are a man of knowledge, I wish to enter my son in your school." The Portland Journal notes that a cow owned by Riley Boyd, at Forest Grove, during the month of May gave 993 pounds of milk, worth atthe market price $18.50. Thecow.it appears, is of humble birth and no pedigree is submitted with the account of her wonderful performance recorded in May. She will be made nationally famous by the traffic department of the Harriman lines, which will print in its literature an account of her wonderful performance and send it broadcast over the country to show the possibilities in the dairying business in Oregon.
