IS PLACED ON TRIAL
By Private Leased Wire.
■Seattle, Wash., June 26.—The case of
O- jrge Mitchell, the youthful alaxer of
Edmund t.'relfleld, and the avertger of
th> wrongs done his two slaters by the
"holy roller” prophet, was called for
trlul today. No criminal case In many
years has attracted so much attention
throughout this section us that of
young Mitchell, nnd the trial will be
followed with Intense Interest. The
a< used youth has hosts of sympa
thizers In Portland, Corvallis and other
Oregon points, where the people were
acquainted with the odious practices
uml teachings of Creffleld, and a sub
stantial fund has been raised for
Mitchell's defense.
The killing of "Apostle Joshua," as
Creffleld called himself, occurred on
the streets of Seattle some two months
ago.
"I’ve got my man. Am In Jail,” was
the unique telegram the young mur
derer sent to his father at Corvallis.
"X came here from Portland for the
purpnso of killing Creffleld," Mitchell
explained after his arrest "I saw hint
Bial Ills wife on First avenue and shot
the mnn. That's all there la to It He
ruined my two sisters, and I took hla
life."
WATER CONSUMPTION
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Ml previous records were swept
away by the flood of water used In At

w ere drawn front the reservoir by the
pie In the attempt to keep cool. The
reservoir sunk 14 Inches when the
a\‘-rage sink for Sunday when the
putnps are turned off Is from I to I
Inches.
To see If It would be practicable to
t ut off the pumps at the river, there
in- giving them a rest, Manager Park
Woodward Saturday made the experi
ment. In twenty-four hourn the reeer

startling with the old condition of
tilings, but from the gain already made
the reservoir will be again full and

Unconquered by death, Taarab still
reigns paramount over all otber rapra.
Mascot supreme during his four years
of residence on this earth, no leas a
sponsor for good luck Is he In the
whereafter of Ooatland, and as the
greatest of departed goats, he baa ac
cepted the title of official mascot of the
undertakers'of Atlanta add as such
hla head will accompany the Atlanta
delegation to the coming convention In
Macon.
With mtich ceremony Taarab was
I burled Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at
the No.. 7 engine bouse In West End.
Even though hla head had been de
prived of him, Taarab waa given more
honor In the last rites over his body
than even the two-headed goate that
contributed to the fame of p. T. Bar-
num. There were fifteen members of
the Are department present at the fu
neral, as well as fifty or more rank
outsiders, who seemed to think them
selves privileges to butt In just be
cause It was a goat's funeral.
At 10:10 o'clqpk taps was sounded
over the grave of headless Taarab.
Taarab'a head was delivered to Bar
clay ft Brandon, who prepared It for
preservation, nnd who will act as
keeper for the head when It attends the
coming convention of undertakers. It
la fitting that thla should be the first
act of mascotlng after hla death. It
might be said, too, that It was thor
oughly consistent that Taarab, If It
waa necessary for him to leave the en
gine house for a land of never-ending
Are hose and baseballs, to depart on
the day of the month known aa “22."
Taarab II Is now looming InwtlghL

Taarab, aa all aristocratic goats are,
waa bora on the Atlanta dumping
ground. John Jentxen, of the sanitary
department of Atlanta, has assured
Chief Joyner that the Are department
should liavfe another goat from that
same stock.
Several other goats have been of
fered to the Are department, but none
has been accepted aa yet In thla con
nection it might be mentioned that
applicants for the position of official

i .invssslng all sections of the city and
. placing among the working people and
tl,n»e who desire to acquire the savings
haML neat little ppeket banks for the
p u pose of assisting them In their de
sires.
These little banks which are being
placed are marvels of simple Ingenu
ity, being nf just the right else for the
xe*t pocket nnd yet being of sufficient
nzo to hold a surprisingly large amount
of small- change. The Idea of the
scheme la to encourage holders of the
I.anks to pi arc therein their email
change each day. and. at. the *P<J Pt the.
m cck or the month take them to the
Fourth National Rank and have the

Impoeelble. ,
The savings deparimmt of the

t~- raid on all deposits, and the fact
that It Is a national Institution makes
al.olutely no dangerous risks for the

It te expected that the savings de-

New York, June 26.—While ah* lay
dying In an ambulance which carried
her from the Stenton "house of mya-
ter}-" to Fordham hospital, It Is now
said Mrs. Alice C. Kinan named her
alayer.
The end was near, but aha could talk
and was able to think. The detectives
have had their own reasons for circu
lating the report that ahe was uncon
uclous from tho moment the assassin
felled her.
Perhaps they have hesitated to die-
does their most Important evidence
until corroborative circumstance!
should have Insured conviction of the
guilty.
Doubtless they will he called on be
fore nightfall to repeat before Coroner
MacDonald the exact words of the dy
ing woman.
Coroner MacDonald planned to make
today’s resumption of his Inquest i
sensational one. It was freely predict
ed that testimony would be adduced
.which would make Imperative tbe tak
ing of at least on* person Into custody.
The police admitted that If the devel
opments for Which they were hoping
d d not materialise the line-up on
which they had been working almost
from the beginning would fall.
Captain Price and his detective
have been working to complete a chain
of evidence against one person who
they art certain is the guilty one.
The program for today Included the
bringing of Mrs. 8t*nton and Lawyer
Burton W. Gibson face to face at the
coroner's Inquest.
One part of Mrs. Stanton’s testimony
upon which the coroner desires further
enlightenment relates to her answer to
a question about the visitors the fam
ily were In the habit of receiving at
night.
She said: ."Mr. Gibson was In tbs
habit of coming to see us at night.
Alice expected him and thought It was
him who nag the bell when she went
to the door to answer IL”
Startling new evidence, brought to
light today, caused Coroner MacDon
ald and Captain Price to put over the
continuation of tha preliminary hear
ing until tomorrow. It is the purpose
of the officials to thoroughly Investi
gate these newly ascertained facte In
order that thay may ha used In the
further examination of tha old w~mnu.
