FIND CANNED MEAT
IS ADULTERATED

BostLp, July The state board of
health yesterday made public the re.
suits of It's investigation of canned
meats. The board examined nearly
$50 different kinds of canned meats
from every possible source, as we'll as
the canned meat statlisnments.
In general way che results of the
investigation are favorable tc the
manufacturers, both in the east and in
the west, but it was found that in
many of the preparations there was a
large amount of foreign matter. OF
one brand OF potted ham prepared by
western firm the report asys:
"Tbis was found 10 consist of a
small amount of normal muscles, con-
siderable eridermis in large pieces,
numerous blood vessels and nerves
and glands ground into paste. Quality
poor, the material being largely scrap"
Of another western potted ham the
report says:
abundant muscle fiber, considerable
epidermis, much granular debris,
some fat and corn meal. Quality
fair as there appes1s to be no excuse
for the presence of corn meal, it must
be regarded as adulterated /"
A numter of other products the
board of healrh states contains corn
meal.
Several brands of prepared meat
were.found to contain boric acid or
torax.
One western "ohicken loaf" is thus
described:
Very little muscular fiber; much
connective tissne and corn. 1t is pre-
served with either boric acid or borax"

board train for Portland.
Instantly great crowd gathered at
the depot, and there was the utmost
confusion.
Eather Mitchell was taken into Gus
tody by the police.
| This is the latest chapter in the most
sensational murder case III the history
of rDe Pacific coast.
The young girl, after being recon
ciled to her father this afternoon, took
out her vengeance in cold blood
against her brother. who killed Franz
Edmund Creffield, the "Holy Roller"
prophet of Oregon for raining his sis
ter.
1t has been but two days since a
jury in the superior court acquitted
George Mitchell of murder in the kill
ing of CrefIield.
George Mitohell's plea was insani.
ty and his attorneys attempted to
prove tn at this was q character istic
of the fsmily.
". G. Wroth, joint agent for nu-
mber Of transcontinental lines at the
depot, from his desk saw the trsgedy
He says the girl walked behind George
Mitchell as if to accompany the party
to the train. Then she pllled the gun
and fired the fatal shot from behind.
George ana his brother, Fred Mitch

with their sister in the waiting room
while waiting for the Portland train
to leave. About 4:20 O'Clock the call

George and Fred arose and started for
it
Esther followed few feet behind
George Within fifteen feet of the spot
where they had been conversing she
silently drew revolver and fired it,
point blank, at close range, at Georges
head The bullet entered the head be
hind the left ear in a place similar to
the fatal wound Cratlield received at
Mitchell's hand.
Mitbchell fell to the floor without

| with her for possession of the weapon.
Officer Mason ran to tho struggling
pair and took the girl in custody.

day he killed Crefield. Officer Hutb

at once if she can be found.
Perry Mitchell, the other brother,
who followed Esther to the station,
said to the chief: Don't blame Es.
ther. She is irresponsible. She has
been completely under the influence
of Mrs. Crefield, who told her to kill
George"
Soon after being taken to police
heado uarters Esther Mitchell made
complete statement to Chief Wappen-
stein.
She said that she had determined,
immedi diateIy after the acquittal of her
brother, that he must die. He had
killed "Joshua, she said, and must
die for his crime. She had at once
procured the revolver ana had been
looking for him ever since the verdict
of the jury had been brought in. She
shot:at the first opportunity.
