 were distributed among the guests

 sisted by Miss Octavia Lauderdale. It
 was program affair with New Years

Seattle, Nov. 21-The coroner's
physicians who analyzed the stomach
of Mrs. Maud Hurt Creffield, the
widow of the late Edmund Joshua"
Creftield, the Holy Roller leader, re-
ported this afternoon that enough
arsenic was found in the stomach of
the dead woman to kill several per-
sons. 1t is therefore evident that the
woman was either murdered or COM
mitted suicide, probably the latter.
Mrs. Creffield was the daughter of
o. Y. Hunt of Corvallis. At the time
of her death she was in prison with
Esther Mitchell, both charged with
tho murder of Esther's brother,
George Mitchell, who was killed by his
sister in revenge for the murder of
Creffield She died suddenly about
midnight last Friday night, supposed

Then Votes TO Raise the Salary of

S2oO-Judge Carey Favors Aban-
doning the Proceedings Against
Judge Turncr-A. ID. Stillman Chos-
en- as Nicc-Prcsident.

At the annual meeting of the Ore
gon Bar association held in Portland
yesterday, the work of Frank $. Grant,
prosecutor for the association, was en-
( dorsed when movement to drop the
disbarment proceedings against Judge
\. II. Tanner failed of adoption.
1t was n motion allowing the griev-
ance committee a special prosecutor
and paying him salary Of 500 a
year that brought Judge Carey to his
feet. He began a eulogy of Judge
Tanner; said he had once been his
partner, and knew him to be high
minded and honorable man.
Robert Treat Plat interjected a
point of order on the ground that the
case of Judge Tanner was not before
the house.
Judge Carey than opposed the plan
of having a special prosecutor for the
committee and again came back to
Judge Tanner. He thought Tanner
had suffered enough, and hoped it
would be the pleasure of the bar and
the privilege of the supreme court to
pass his case by.
F. V. Holman took issue with Carey
and supported the position of the
grievance committee and the special
prosecuting officer for the associa-
tion, and would enlarge. rather than
restrict its powers, and would like to
give to the prosecutor more salary.
He was supported by A. F. Flegel
and w. L. Brewster, who moved to in
crease his compensation to $3.50.
Treasurer c. ]. Schnabel interposed
the caution that the excheauer would
not stand the pressure of such an in
crease.
The question then came to a vote
and carried, Judge Carey not voting.
Stillman Was Honored.

ensuing year \. D. Stillman. of PEN
