THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1913. OREGON SEN ORS U COMMENCEMENT ON Dr. John H. Boyd, in Baccalau reate Sermon, Issues Warn ing to Graduates. GIVE WORLD BEST, IS PLEA Class Picnic Breakfast on Campus Postponed to Wednesday May pole and Folk Txre Dances Prove Interesting. UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, Eugene, June 16. (Special.) Marking the pass ing of the second largest class ever graduated from the University of Ore gon, the 37th annual commencement exercises are now in progress. The commencement programme was ushered In yesterday with the bacca laureate sermon to the seniors In Vil lain! Hall. Today was entirely given over to the festivities, which will cul minate in the annual senior ball Wed nesday evening. The baccalaureate sermon yesterday was delivered by Rev. John H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Portland. Clad In their caps and gowns, preceded by the faculty and marching to the strains of an or chestra processional, the seniors entered Villard Hall and took their Beats In the front of the auditorium. By the time the 134 graduates and their parents and the alumni, for whom special reservations had been made, were accommodated, space for the throng of visitors was at a premium and as usual, half the audience was turned away without having caught a glimpse of the ceremony. A special or chestra and a picked chorus of 40 lngers furnished music for the oc casion. Portland Pastor Makn Plea. The Portland pastor pictured to the graduates the success they might at tain with the proper efforts and the failure which threatened them should they disregard the principles of Chris tianity. Dr. Boyd pleaded with the young men and women to give the world the best that Is In them. "To have a mind and never do any -thinking, to have a will undisciplined In executive ability, to have the possi bility of living, moving and having our being and not answering in any way when the world is clamoring for our services this Is the mediocrity of which I warn you," said the speaker. "If you have divine potentialities of manhood and womanhood, let Christ the Redeemer handle that potentiality." Weather Hits Programme. Part of today's exercises were blighted by the threatening weather. tThe class picnic breakfast on the campus was postponed until Wednesday morning. The baseball game between the seniors and the alumni did not materallze, for although the- near jrrads were ready to do battle, the veterans did not appear in sufficient force to form a team. The much-heralded performance of Henrlk Ibsen's "Peer Gynt," by stu dents of Professor Reddie's class In dramatic interpretation was given in the Eugene Opera-House. The natural amphitheater west of the city in which the open-air production was staged ten days ago, was abandoned because of the unfavorable weather. The result was that a portion of the audience was unable to secure admittance, even after every available square foot of standing room had been utilized. Long before noon the crowd collected at the door of the theater, although the performance did not begin until 2 o'clock. It -was voted even a greater artistic success than on Its first presentation. At 6:45 on the campus members of Ir. Stewart's classes in physical train ing executed Maypole and folk donees. 'The annual graduating exercises of the school of music were held at 8 o'clock In Villard Hall, and again drew a capacity house.

At the close of the exercises Vice-President Todd completed arrange, merits and raised ample funds for the erection "of a pole upon which the Stars and Stripes will forever- float over Lee s grave. In the evening' the long-prepared-f or and hard-fought lnter-society oratorical contest was held in Waller Hall before a crowd that taxed the building's seat ing capacity to the limit. The contest was pronounced one of the best and most closely contested ever held here. First place was awarded Glen McCad dam, second, third and fourth to How ard Jewett, Elizabeth Luce and Ola Clark, respectively. YOUTH HOLDS UP A BANK (Continued From First Pagf.) lowed Diamond to the door, where he Informed pedestrians that the latter had held up the bank, and secured about $3000. B. L. Darby, a Glendale druggist, rushed from his store and fired three shots at the desperado as he reached a point of vantage on the sloping hill side. Henry Ross also fired several shots at the fleeing man, as did a sur veyor whom he chanced to pass. Dia mond returned fire, but failed in his aim. Desperado Disappears In Timber. Diamond then disappeared in the timber and started In a westerly di rection over the rugged mountain which leads in the direction of Rogue River. Sheriff Qulne and an Oregonian cor respondent visited the cabin occupied by Diamond and found evidence that the desperado was inspired to commit the robbery as a result of reading cheap literature. In Diamond's room were found many newspapers contain ing stories of the eventful career of John Tornow. the Washington despe rado, and Tracy, the Oregon outlaw. Companions of Diamond say that he frequently talked of these desperadoes and often remarked that they were, made of the right stuff. Diamond twice during his Kfe was adopted by Indian tribes. He is said to be well acquainted with the moun tain districts and Is an excellent marksman. People who know him say he will not be captured alive. As far as can be ascertained, he purchased the first liquor today since he came to Glendale five or six years ago. Father Grlefstrtcketi. Dave Diamond, the boy's father. Is grlefstrlcken over his son's act and refused to talk for publication. Correspondence found in Diamond's room Indicates that he was employed once as a forest ranger. Since coming to Glendale he has been employed in the mills. He has a brother, Carl Dia mond, at Eureka, Cal. Cashier W. R. Delay and President S. H. Rothermal, of the robbed bank, are at present at Corvallls attending a meeting of bankers. Acting Cashier Smith gave out a statement to the ef fect that the bank lost $2829.19. About J300 was overlooked by Diamond in his haste to leave the .scene. He also dropped $55 in bills, which was picked up by a local merchant. Diamond's description . is 5 feet 9 inches, weight 160 pounds, black eyes, black hair, slim, wore khaki suit and work shoes. bloodhounds will come upon him be fore daylight tomorrow. Diamond is well acquainted with the mountainous regions in this locality, find in the event he is traveling in stead of remaining under cover his cap ture seems impossible for the present. Holdup Is Remarkable. In many ways the holdup was re markable. Reaching town shortly after 9 o'clock Diamond visited a saloon, where he purchased a pint of whisky. He took two or three drinks of the liquor in the presence of the barkeeper and then left the place. A few minutes later he entered the bank and pro ceeded within a few feet of Acting Cashier Smith, who was well ac quainted with Diamond. Smith, at first, considered Diamond's demand for money as a joke, and not until the demand was repeated four times did Smith en ter the vault and obtain its contents. In fact. Smith Informed an Oregonian reporter today that he joshed with Diamond for a time, when he finally became satisfied that the demand was made in earnest. Diamond kept his rifle leveled on Smith as the money was scraped care lessly from the trays into his pockets. Diamond then backed to the door and walked leisurely down the main busi ness thoroughfare of the city in the direction of the foothills.

The State Railroad Commission today began an investigation of the demur rage rates of railways. It being alleged by the various lines operating in the state that the charge of S2 a day for cars held beyond the time limit by shippers was Insufficient and encour aged a certain class to hold cars during Dusy seasons. The railroads are a unit that the charge should be $3 a day. It was further charged that the prac tice of shippers in keeping cars over time was largely the cause of a scareltv of cars during busy seasons. Grain dealers, it was said, had made a prac tice of- withholding cars, it being cheaper to store grain In them than In elevators. One shipper who testified said there might be some reason for the railroads charging $3 a day demur rage In busy seasons, but to charge it the year round would work a hardship upon the people who furnish the busi ness to the railroads. Washington Roads to Be Improved. CENTRALIA, Wash.. June 16. C Spe cial.) The greater part of the $20,000 allowed Lewis County by the state highway board for road construction probably will be spent in the Improve ment of the road from Toledo to the north Cowlitz County line, as this stretch of highway is one of the worst between Tacoma and Portland. In the opinion of good roads enthusiasts of Kelso at least a portion of the $50,000 allowed Cowlitz County will be spent on tne road between It el so and Car rollton. This road carries extremely heavy traffic, and will permit of ad vantageous work during the Summer months. Mrs. d'eorge It. Sheldon Dead. NEW YORK. June 16. Mrs. George R.

For the past three years she has lived in St. Johns, where she also has many friends who will be Interested In what she has to say: "For the past seven years I have suf fered greatly from stomach trouble. There was intense pain in my stomach and I would bloat up and gas would form and make a bubbling sound that was so distressing and embarrassing that I dreaded to go among my friends Plant Juice has changed all this, and I am now feeling fine. It gave me al most immediate relief, and I am cer tainly glad that I tried it, and hope others who suffer as I did will do the same. I am now eating everything I want and enjoy my food. I sleep well and the pain and soreness Is entirely gone." A chain Is only as strong as its weak est link. The stomach seems to be the most important link in the human sys tem, and no one can hope to be at their best in any way until they have a good digestion and stomach.
