ARRESTED
Portland Detectives Capture a
Noted Crook.
HE WAS OPERATING IN OREGON
Takes in Custody at Instance of
Plnkerton,. for Cracking: a. Bank
Safe -in Virginia.
James Rapley, alias several other names,
was arrested in Portland yesterday for
the daring robbery of a bank In Will
iamsburg, Ta, .May 24. His arrest was
made by the police at the Instance of the
Plnkerton Agency, which, acting for the
Fidelity & Casualty Company, of New
Tork, hunted the criminal down and lo
cated him thousands of miles from the
scene of his crime.
Rapley was examining a tag on a trunk
in the office of the Northern Pacific Ex
press Company, at the corner of Third
and Washington streets, at noon yester
day, when Superintendent James Nevins,
of the Portland Plnkerton office, accom
panied by Detectives Day, Cordano, Ford
and Wolner, stepped up behind him, and
Day quietly slipped a pair of handcuffs
over his wrists.
"There is no need of me saying any
thing to you fellows," he remarked, with
out any visible surprise, and walked to
the police station, where he will remain
until, the arrival of an officer who is now
on the way to take him to Williamsburg
for trial. His arrest removed a menace
from every bank and postoffice in the
state, as he is an "artist" at his profes
sion, and has without doubt robbed two
postoffices since his arrival in Oregon.
Maps in his possession show that he In
tended to continue in the business here
about. The trunk Rapley was examining was
the clew that led to his arrest. It be
longed to a woman with whom he came
to Portland July 1, and had been closely
Joseph Rapley, Safecracker
watched since its removal from the room
the pair occupied to the express office.
The police believed that he vrould come
to forward it, and they were right.
The night of May 24, a gang of thugs,
with itapley at their head, entered the
Peninsula Bank, of Williamsburg, Va.,
and proceeded to blow the safe. The ex
plosion of the first charge of nitro
glycerin aroused the residents of the vi
cinity, and a posse., led by the president
of the bank, came to arrest the robbers.
The thugs, detailing a few of their num
ber to stand off the posse, coolly proceed
ed with their work, exploding six more
charges, taking $3500 from the interior of
the safe, while the crowd outside was
growing larger. Then, still holding their
pursuers at bay, they made their es
cape, and the arrest of Rapley is the
first successful effort of the law to bring
them to punishment.
The officers of the bank turned the
hunt for the criminals over to the Fidel
ity & Casualty Company, which had in
sured them against burglary, and that
company gave the matter into the hands
of the Pinkertons, telling them to spare
neither pains nor expense in capturing
the thugs.
July 14 Captain Nevins, superintendent
of the Portland office, received a tele
gram from George D. Bangs, general su
perintendent of the company in New
York, informing him that Rapley was
In Portland. Assisted by the police. Cap
tain Kevins began a quiet search for him,
and within two days located him in a
Fourth-street lodging-house, in company
with a woman who was found to be the
wife of a notorious crook known as
"Buck" Ballard. Rapley was not in Port
land at the time, nor did he return until
yesterday. July 19 Captain Nevins
searched his room and found a burglar's
brace, maps of Oregon, Washington,
Pennsylvania, and a bankers' directory,
containing the name and capital stock of
every bank in the United States, Canada
and Mexico. On the map of Oregon the
'following towns were marked in lead pen
cil: Cornelius, Hillsboro. Newberg, Mc
Mlnnvllle, Sheridan, Lebanon, Sllverton,
Dallas. Monmouth, Independence, Sclo,
Brownsville, Harrisburg, Junction City,
Cottage Grove and Tillamook. That same
night the postoffice at Independence was
robbed, the safe being blown by the
same method employed at Williamsburg.
These circumstances, together with the
fact' that the postbfllce at Union was en
tered and the safe blown the night De
fore Ripley arrived in Portland over the
O. R. & N., seemed to indicate that he
had chosen Oregon and its banks as a
field for extensive operations.
Captain Nevins, now certain beyond all
question that he had located his man,
told the landlady of the lodging-house to
notify him of RapleyB return, and yes
terday a telephone message Informed him
that his man was in town. Again secur
ing from Chief of Police McLauchlan the
services of the detective force, he pre-,
ceeded to the lodging-house, but Rapley
had gone. Not in the least discouraged,
the party Journeyed to the express of
fice, where the trunk of the woman had
been sent, and waited for their man.
When he came, he was arrested and
locked up.
On Rapley's person was found two feet
of fuse such as is used by safecrackers,
but nothing else of an incriminating na
ture. The police learned that ho had
pawned a woman's gold watch a few
days before, showing that lie was in need
of funds, a circumstance which was fur
ther evidenced by the lack of money In
his clothes.
Through the suggestion of the Pinker
tons, Sheriff 1L R. Herall, of Williams
burg, telegraphed Chief of Police Mc
Lauchlan a week ago to be on the look
out for Rapley, thus conferring the nec
essary authority to arrest him and hold
him till the arrival of a man with requi
sition papers.
The Fidelity & Casualty Company has
been unceasing in its efforts to effect
Rapley's capture, and will now bend its
energies toward locating the other mem
bers of the gang, who have thus far suc
ceeded in keeping their whereabouts dark.
The Pinkertons have been active in the
search all over the country, but without
the aid of the Portland police force they
would havo been powerless. Captain
Nevins said last night that he had every
reason to be thankful to the police here
for their energy and willingness to as
sist him, and expresses the greatest faith
in the ability of Chief McLauchlan and
his detective force to apprehend crimi
nals, when given anything like & work
ing clew.
Rapley, alias "Topeka Joe," alias H. C
Miller, alias J. B. Evans, alias Sherman,
alias Lee, Is one of the most noted crim
inals in the country. He formerly ran a
saloon in Baltimore, but for the past six
or seven years has been following the
profession of safecracking with marked
success. He is wanted in Hudson, N. Y.,
and several other places, and Is without
doubt the man who cracked the safes at
Urlon and Independence, In this state.
Had he continued to enjoj' his freedom
and work the territory he had mapped
out. Uncle Sam and several banks might
have been heavy losers.
TRYING TO GJBT ROOSEVELT
Street Fair Committee Are Ifot Re
laxing Their Effort.
What might have been serious turns ont
well for the Street Fair and Carnival.
A few days ago the press director of the
Street Fair addressed a personal letter
to George B. Small, editor of the Baker
City Democrat, touching up somewhat in
detail the attractions to be presented
upon that notable occasion. The day be
fore yesterday the director was Informed
that Editor Small had published the letter
in full. For a moment there was conster
nation In the breast of the head of the
press committee. He appealed to his
stenographer, but her notes were cold and
she could not read them. Being an old
stenographer, he tackled them himself
and found them to fit the occasion just
as he desired.
As a result Baker City wants to know
more about the Fair and Carnival. It Is
the same way all over the Pacific North
west. If the present feeling keeps -up
no question about success can arise.
Attractions for the Midway which it
was thought Impossible to obtain were
promised to John F. Cordray, of the com
mittee, yesterday.
In a few days the general committee
will be able to issue a' circular almost
completely covering the entire scope of
the great event.
The effort to have Teddy Roosevelt at
tend the Fair has not been relaxed. As
he is high authority upon the Elk and
his habits, it is hoped he will attend the
dedication of the D. P. Thompson foun
tain, surmounted as It, will be by a bronze
elk. It has been proposed that the dedi
cation should take place the first week
of the Fair, and If It can be arranged this
will be an added attraction of no small

SOME STRIKERS AT WORK
BUT THE MAJORITY STXLIi HOLD
OUT.
ZocIc Manager? Say Titer Will He-
nine Worlc "With. Kerf Mea
it Necessary.
There was some change In the situation
at the East Side grain docks yesterdayr At
Montgomery Dock, No. 1, W. K. Scott,
manager, and at the Pacific Coast Elevator
Dock, D. T. Brush, manager, work was
In progress during the day, but at the
others there was nothing doing. At the
Montgomery Dock all the old force re
sumed work yesterday morning, there
being- about 22 men employed. They were
engaged In running wheat through the
cleaner. No cars were unloaded. At Co
lumbia, No. 2, adjoining Montgomery
Dock, there was nothing doing at all, and
the manager said that he could not un
derstand how the old men had gone back
to the Montgomery and had not returned
to Columbia, No. 2, and to the other
docks. He said that Mr. Scott had not
agreed to pay the wages demanded by the
men, but was paying the old terms of 30
cents an hour. At the Pacific Coast Ele
vator Dock there were 16 men at work,
and the manager said that 10 were hl3
old men. He declared his intention to
start up tv.ll this morning, and will load
a ship today. Some of his former crew
have held off because they were Intimi
dated. At the ferry landing. Lower Al
blna, there was quite a crowd of strikers
gathered in tHe afternoon, and they de
clared that they were Just as determined
as ever to stand firm, and would not re
sume work at the old figures. They had
been sent for by the dock managers In
the morning, but had refused to work un
less they got what they asked for. Re
garding the crew of the old men resum
ing work at the Montgomery Dock, they
said that the men were working on the
promise that they were to receive 40
cents an hour, and that, unless this prom
ise was complied with, they would walk
out again. It Is understood along the
beach that Mr. Scott is paying his men
30 cents an hour, while the striking men
on the street were claiming that the crew
had been promised 40 cents an hour. This
was the situation yesterday afternoon.
STRIKERS' MEETING.
They Declare They Will Stand Firm
for Their First Demands.
A long and lively meeting of the strik
ing dockmen was held in Schrantz Hall,
Dower Alblna, last night, which was
attended by a greater portion of the men.
Milton Forney presided, as he has at all
former meetings. Minutes of the former
meeting were not read, and the chair
called for business. One of the results
of the meeting was to stiffen the back
bone of all concerned in the strike, and
a declaration that the agreemen.t entered
into at the start, that they would not go
back to work In any of the docks for
less than 40 cents for regular time and
SO cents for overtime, should stand. This
was reached after long discussion.
The first question taken up was the
fact that a considerable number of men
who had signed the agreemen.t had gone
to work in Montgomery dock, W. K.
Scott, manager, and also at the Pacific

Coast Elevator dock. More had gone
to work at the former than at the latter
dock. Several of these men were pres
ent, and an explanation was asked of
them. Their statement was that Man
ager Scott had indirectly promised them
40 cents an hour, an.d on this promise
they had gone- to work. He did not state
directly that he would pay the 40 cents
per hour, but they considered from what
he said that they were to be paid at
that rate. He said they would be satis
fied with their wages Saturday night.
This was the explanation of the men of
why they went to work. One of the men
said that Manger Thorn, of Columbia, No.
2, was much put out at the men going
to work at Montgomery, an.d had not re
turned to his dock, and that -he was ready
to pay as much as Mr. Scott at any
time. It was also asserted that other
managers, other than Mr. Bush, of the
Elevatorj had made the same statement.
After the explanations had been given,
by vote and expression it was decided
by the meeting that none who had signed'
the agreement could resume work at
Montgomery on the indirect promise, but
that Mr. Scott must say what he will pay
directly. To continue to work under an
indefinite promise was regarded as a dis
tinct violation of the agreement that had
been signed. They could not know what
Mr. Scott considered "good wages." It
might be 30 cents, or even less. How
ever, It was the opinion of all the men
present last night who worked at Mont
gomery that it was the intention of Mr.
Scott to pay them 40 cents an hour. All
present who worked there yesterday
agreed that they would not go back there
without a specific and definite under
standing that they should receive 40 cents
an. hour. Six present agreed to this. Of
those who went back to the Elevator
yesterday, several agreed to keep away
from there.
The chair then announced that about 23
men had. been placed with good Jobs in
the country, and he wanted 12 men to
send away at once at good wages. There
was some more discussion and the meet
ing adjourned.
