Apostles Of Tongues Of Fire. An
nounce Gift Forthcoming
ALREADY CURE CANCER ANO BLINDNESS
SALEM, ORE, AGAIN IN THROES
OF FANATICS WHO WRITE AND
SPEAK STRANGELY

SALEM, Dec. 28.-The strenuous
| rites of the Tongues of Fire" as the
workers at the Pentacostal missions in
this city are called, may be the recrud-
essence of Holy Rollerism or it may lead
to something equally fantastic. At any
rate the meetings of Rev. M. L. Ryan
of this city, assisted by five or six
evangelists from Los Angeles, direct
from the Aqua street mission, and
Mrs. John Glasco Of the mission on
South Second street in Portland, and
some local talent of more or less draw
ing ability, have been increasing in
interest as the days and weeks go by.
Mr.. Ryan saw the raise of the Azu-
"a street people and went them one
better. They spoke in unknown tongues.
He also did that, and then claimed he
was writing in unknown characters.
At any time during the exercises Mr..
Ryan gets under the spell of the meet
ing, sits like one in a trance and grinds
out reams of characters that look like
the practice sheets Of stenographic stu
dents at a business college. The char
acters are apparently meaningless.
Some Of them look something like the
Chinese and japanese characters.
Mr.. Ryan is not the only one who
does this. His most adept pupil is
Mary Hanson of Dallas, a 14-year-old
girl who is an extremist on the sub
ject. She and her mother and an older
sister, it is said, have given up all the
ordinary relations of life and are de-
voting themselves wholly to the So
called pentacostal outpouring.
Edward Smith of Dallas claims he
has been cured of a cancer that had
been pronounced incurable by physi-
clans. So far as known, this alleged
cure has not been investigated by doc
tors. Mrs. c. w. Irwin, also of Dallas,
claims she has been healed of blind
ness.
-MIS. CTdWIOTU OIL LOS Angeles claims
she can take poison without injury to
herself and that in a short while the
"Tonguers" will have power to raise
the dead. 1t would not surprise the
Salem public if some of her followers
would soon become sufficiently filled
with the spirit to try the experiment.
Edmund Creffield at one time in
the early stages of his ministry
preached and taught in this same mis-
sion.
Mrs. Wiley, a colored woman from
Los Angeles, is the star performer
She is typical southern mulatto and
chants in a wild, weird voice, hymns
of her own composition. She asserts
that both the words and the melody
were given to her by the Holy Ghost
while she was in a trance
The most apt pupils and the ones
most completely under the sway and
spell of the leaders are adolescent girls.
who seem to be most easily moved by
the charms of this fantastic religion.

AbdndOns !VaNa Wd||a Local
TRAIN HAS Been WELL PA1RoM1ED
IF RAILROAD TAKES STEP, MER-
CHANTS MAY ROUTE FREIGHT
VIA NORTHERN PACIFIC

The people of Pendleton are consid-
erably worked up ove> the proposed
| abandonment of the local passenger
! train between that city and Walla
Walla on the first of the year. The
question Of abandonment is by no
means certain but the Oregonians do
not intend to take any chances accord
ing to the following which appeared in
yesterdays East Oregonian:
THAT the o. r. & N. company is
planning to discontinue the local pas
senger train between Walla Walla and
this place was reported here this morn
ing by business men of the former
place who have been spending the day
here. 1t is said the change will go into
effect January l after which time the
only service between here and Walla
Walla will be the regular Spokane train
and the mixed freight as formerly
used.
Upon learning of the proposed
change President Cohen of the Com
mercial association, Lee Teutsch and
others, at once asked Agent Smith to
ascertain definitely if such is to be
done. If such is found to be the case
vigorous steps will at once be taken
to persuade the railroad people to
change their ideas. Local business men
declare that the special train has been
well patronized, in fact crowded much
of the time, and that there is abso-
lutely no legitimate reason why the
service should be discontinued
aside from the Commercial associ-
alton the Merchants association is
also planning to enter strong pro-
test should it be found the company
actually intends taking off the train
1t is believed the combined efforts of
these organizations will be sufficient to
keep the train running. Especially is
this true in view of the fact that the
Train Is UelHS properly pdtroHlleQ ana
the further fact that should the o. R.
& n. company insist upon arbitrary
action the local merchants could re-
taliate by routing their freight via
the Northern Pacific.
This afternoon Agent E. c. Smith
stated that in reply to a query from
this place Robert Burns, general agent
at Walla Walla had declared he knew
present schedule between here and
Walla Walla. In view of this state
ment it is considered doubtful if the
company is intending to discontinue
the train

ConsuIs Render Much Assistance II
Matter of Inheritance Tax.

OLYMPIA, Dec. 2S.-Some time ago
it was discovered that the estate OF
H. C. Brown of Stevens county had
been distributed to various heirs IN
Denmark and Norway without pay
ment of the inheritance tax that was
due thereon. Tax Commissioner Eas-
terday took the matter up with the
foreign heirs through the consuls OF
the country, with the result that all OF
them have cheerfully responded and
contributed per cent of the amount
of the legacies received, the sum to-
falling $1,000, witch was yesterday paid
into the state treasury.
The tax commission regards this as
substantial evidence that common
honesty still prevails in many quar-
tiers.
