Company Now Conducted on
Sound Business Basis
PRACTICES OF DOUBTFUL
PR0PRIETY PROHIBITED
officers Responsible for Conditions
Revealed Last Winter Have
All Been Dismissed.

New York, July 10.-Not one of
the executive officers of the Mutua!
Life Insurance company responsible
for the conditions which prevailed in
that organization prior to the year
1906 remain in the service of the COM
pany. All practices and methods of
doubtful propriety have been prohibit
ed; the responsibility of the officers
has beeen definitely fixed; measures
to insure efficiency in service and
economy in administration have been
adopted, and many other reforms have
been effected, according to a letter to
the policyholders which was made
public today by President Charles A.
Peabody of that company. Mr.. Pea
body's letter, which will be mailed to
every holder of q policy in the Mu-
tual Life, also declares that other re-
forms are in progress or in contempla-
ton, and that he believes the results
of the future will be entirely salts
factory to the policyholders. He calls
attention to a reduction in the salaries
of officers and employees, and in the
expenses of the home office building,
effecting a saving of $515,00 a year.
The economies effected in the cost
of agency management, medical exam
ination and revision work, advertising,
printing, stationery, he says, aggregate
another $4,000 year, making to
tai saving of more than $4,000 for
each working day. The letter says
that since January l of this year, the
company's funds deposited in banks
and loaned on collateral have been re-
duced more than $175,000, GOO by in
vestment. and that the total gain in
net income on all investments during
the last six months has been ST.
100000.
Mr.. Peabody says that the integrity
and value of the companys assets
have recently been verified by an in
vestigation and examination by Ameri-
can and English public accountants,
whose certifying statement of the as
sets December 81, 1905, Is $4,000 in
excess of the value as shown on the
company's books.

Kansas City, July 10.-In the in
vestigation of the ice manufacturing
firms of this city, which County Pros
ecutor Kimball is trying to show is n
trust in restraint of trade, Harry T..
Burk, secretary of the Peoples Ice,
Storage and Fuel company, testlfying

authority to make prices for any
other company. lie simply fixed the
price for his own company and while
he did not know, he said, that all
other companies promptly made the
same price, ne had not heard of any
body who had failed to follow his
lead.
He told how his company some
times bought ice for So n ton and sold
1t for Sc without ever seeing the
product.

the cost of production, and declared
that the supply and demand fixes the
price of Ice.

STANDARD OIL
MEN MUST
TESTIFY
URGENT SUMMONS ISSUED
FOR PROMINENT OFFICIALS
Grand Jury at Cleveland Hears
Startling Testimony of Irregular
tiles in Oil Business,

Cleveland, O.. July 1O.-The testi-'
mony produced today before the
grand jury which is investigating the
alleged violations of the interstate
commerce and anti-rebate laws with
particular reference to the standard
Oil company, was of such nature
that District Adorned Sullivan caused
several additional subpoenas to be is
sued late in the day for we'll known
Standard Oil officials. One was for
M. S. Villas, treasurer and auditor OF
the Standard Oil company of Ohio.
A deputy marshal was dispatched
post haste to the office of Mr.. Villas,
but he was not found, the officer re-
porting that he believed an attempt
was being made to keep him under
cover. A subpoena was then issued
for c. II. Richards, cashier in the
Cleveland office, and he was brought
into the grand jury room, but was ex-
cused in few minutes. A second
visit to the Standard Oil Offices failed
to find Mr. Villas and the deputy mar
shall was then dispatched to his SUBJ
urban home with Instructions to stay
there all night If necessary to find the
witness.
Another subpoena will be issued to-
morrow for f. b. Squire, vice presi-
dent of the Standard Oil company OF
Ohio. The government officials to-
night awaited reports as to the sue
cessful service of a number of other
subpoenas demanding the presence or
railway officials and others whom 1t Is
believed will be able to give informa-
tion along the lead that was opened
by the grand jury proceedings.
Tomorrow, 1t is expected, Will be
the crucial point in the work for the
grand jury. Among other things said
to have been brought out by the tes-
tlmony today is the sensational char
acter of under billing and ID is alleged
that the jury was Informed that
branch of the New York Central lines
has caused hundreds of cars of the
Standard oil company to be billed to
contain only half the amount with
which they were really loaded. This
under billing. 1t Is charged, was done
largely out of Findlay, Ohio.
A large part of the days testimony
related to alleged trade discrimina-
tions on oil shipments where both the
Standard oil company and the inde-
pendent companies used their own
private equipment.

Slayer of Religious
Fanatic Acquitted by
A Jury at Seattle
Will Get Medal for Killing Destroyer Of
Many Happy Homes

Seattle, WASH, July 10.-George
Mitchell, who shot Franz Edmund
Creffield, leader of the sect known as
Holy Rollers" in this city. alleging
that Creffield had deluded and wrong
ed his two sisters, was found not
guilty by a jury this afternoon. The
defense was insanity.
Mitchell is to be presented with a
engraved gold medal as 4
reward for killing Creffield in First
avenue in this city some weeks ago.
When the medal is presented Mitchell
probably will be the only man in the
country who will have been so honor
ed for homicide.
The doners are to be a committee
of respectable citizens of Corallis, Ore,
where Creffield and his band created
so much excitement and Indignation
three years ago. The man who
brought word to Seattle that the gold
medal is forthcoming is o. V. Hurt, n
Corvallis resident and the father Of
Maude Hurt Creffield. the dead
prophets" widow.
Hurt declares that as soon as the
news reached Corvallis that Creffield
had been killed by Mitchell commit
tee at once started a subscription for
the purpose OF raising money to pres
ent Mitchell with a gold medal, and
to hire a good criminal lawyer to d =
fend him.
He says that the minute the news of
Creffield's death reached the Oregol
town it spread like wildfire and that
there was universal joy. For weeks
persons in Corvallis who had been dis
disgraced through the influence that
Creffield had on members of their
families had been searching for the
Holy Roller leader. He had been
driven from one town to another and
for a month lynching was threatened.
1t was generally believed that it was
only a question of time until some cit
izen, feeling the outrage that had been
perpetrated upon him, would take the
law into his own hands.
"Mitchell's well-aimed shot spared
others the trouble of sending Creffield
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1906-07-11

to an eternity which he deserved" )"
said Hurt In substance.
Hurts entire family at one time was
under the spell of this religious fa-
natic. 1t was at Hurts home in Cor
wallis that some of the disgraceful
scenes of the Holy Rollers were enact
ed. Hurt himself was once under the
influence, but it didn't take him long
to throw it off. and since then he has
been one of Creffields most pro-
nounced enemies.
At one time during the orgies of
the Holy Rollers all the furniture in
the Hurt house was piled in heap in
the front yard and set on fire by Cref-
field, who announced that it was
burnt offering to God; that religious
people had no right to have furniture,
for furniture was a luxury. At an
other time live cats and dogs were
offered up in the fires while Cref--
field went through his incantations
and worked himself and his followers
into a frenzy of emotion.
A short time prior to the date that
the Corvallis people captured Creffield
and tarred and feathered him, he sue
ceeded in inducing Maude Hurt, o.
V. Hurts daughter, to marry him.
Creffield hid in the woods after he
was tarred and under cover of the
night returned to the Hurt house,
where he crawled beneath the foot
and remained a week, where he was
fed by Mrs. Creffleld.
Later Creffield sought refuge in the
house of B. f. Starr, at Portland.
During his. stay there the husband of
Mrs. Starr field a charge against him
that led to his sentence of two years in
the penitentary. Mrs. Creffield, in
the meantime had become insane and
was sent to an asylum about the same
time that Creffield went to the Salem
prison. Mrs. Starr is a sister of
Gearge Mitchell, the slayer. Mitchell
also claims that Creffield enticed his
younger sister Esther into the ranks Of
the Holy Rollers and disgraced her for
life. For these two acts Mitchell
swore revenge.

Indignant al Stories Of His
Mental Condition
THEATRICAL MANAGER SAYS
YOUNG MAN IS INSANE
District Attorney Continues DiIigent
Hunt After Witnesses Who Can
Throw Light on The Case.

New York, July 10.--Harry X.
Thaw tonight in the Tombs gave out
his first statement since he shot and
killed Stanford White on the Mad
ison Square roof garden. In it the
youngs man utters a protest against
being regarded as insane and declares
his counsel assured him that no such
course as the appointment of a COM
mittee to inquire into his mental con-
dition is contemplated. The state
ment was handed by Thaw in person
to the newspaper representatives. He
gave it out without the permission
of his counsel, with whom he pleaded
all day to be allowed to deny in per-
son the current reports as to his in
sanity and especially the public re-
port yesterday of a purported inter-
view with one of his counsel quoting
the attorney as saying the prisoner
was undoubtedly insane. Young
Thaw's statement follows:
II am informed by Mr.. Olcott and
Mr.. Gruber that the interview with
Mr.. Gruber in one of last nights pa
pers to the effect that l am undoubt-
edly Insane and that a lunaey COM
mission would be appointed to dem.
Onstrate that fact, has no foundation
whatever; that Mr.. Gruber never
made such a statement and that no
such a course is contemplated.
"Mr. Olcott further tells me that
he did not go to Philadelphia for the
purpose of seeing or inquiring about
H1rriat FrhOtu ~ oI1 t,,. ,,tt
and that his visit had nothing what
ever to do with the question of my
mental condition or that of any men,
Der of my family"
The statement was signed with the
initials II. X. 4.
When asked if he had anything fur
ther to remark, Thaw said "That
statement embodies all that / have
to say"
Despite the rapid fire questions
hurled at him by the reporters Thaw
remained smiling but noncommittal
during the four or five minutes he
was with the press reporters.
Assistant District Attorney Garvin
continued today to vigorously prose-
cute his inquiry into the case and had
before him several prospective wit
nesses. Among them were James L..
Lederer, of Philadelphia. who was
manager of The Wild Rose" theat-
rical company at the. time Evelyn
Nesbit, now Mrs. Thaw, was a mem
ber of the organization; May Nc
Kenzie, an actress and friend of Mrs,
Thaw, and Mary Leahy, Mrs. Thaw's
maid.
Mr.. Lederer told the assistant dis
trict attorney that it was his belief
young Thaw is crazy.

SEARCH|NGFOR

BANDIT

Fresno. Cal, July 1O.-The sheriffs
of Madeira and Marlposa counties are
continuing the search for the Yosem-
ite stage robber. A dragnet method
is being pursued by the officers, as
they are convinced that the highway
man lives not far away and that he
has buried or secreted his treasure
in q cabin or some out-Of-the-wa
spot. Dwellers In the mountains have
been asked to agree to q search of
their premises, showing no discrim-
inatlon as between suspected or un-
suspected citizens. The camp Of the
robber near the scene OF the holdup
at Shawnee has been found. II Is
certain he prepared several meals
there and burned his disguise after
his nervy exploit. The trail led to
Grub Gulch and finally was lost in
rocky country not far from the
home Of Sweet wherefore he was
compelled to give an account Of him
self, as he did one year ago, under
somewhat similar circumstances.
