YOUNG ROBBER HAS
DUAL PERSONALITY
Bank-Looting Desperado Win
some and Socially Prom-,
inent at Glendale.
TO BE DARING IS AMBITION
Xotoriety of Harry Tracy and John
Turnow Fascinate Kay Diamond
and Methods of Those Out
laws Adopted by Him. .
ROSEBURG, Or.. June 22. (Special.)
That Ray Diamond, the youthful
desperado who on last Monday held up
Cashier Smith, of the Glendale State
Bank, and secured, something- over
$2800 in money, was a dual personality,
Is the general belief of local officers
and detectives, who for the past week
have been making effort to capture
him.
Until last Monday Diamond, who had
lived In Glendale five years, had con
ducted himself In a manner which won
for him the esteem of his acquaintances.
He was Industrious and worked stead
ily until about two months ago, when
he lost his position following a minor
altercation with a fellow employe.
Warn Socially Prominent.
A survey of his past life reveals that
Diamond was welcomed In the best so
cial circles In this district.. Only a
few weeks ago he played the leading
part in a home talent play, for which
he received high commendation. He
was an Oddfellow, while the cashier
he held up was the Noble Grand, of
his lodge.
Young Diamond seldom. If ever, en
tered a saloon, and prior to committing
the daring robbery. It is said no one
at Glendale ever saw him take a drink
of liquor. In his every-day life he
was quiet and unassuming and talked
little. He loved literature and was
familiar with the works of the most
noted authors. He was well versed on
current events, and was a conversation
alist of more than ordinary Intelligence.
In all. Diamond's outward life sug
gested nothing that would indicate that
he was desperate and would ransack a
bank. On the contrary his features
would Indicate refinement, while his
manner was such as to win him friends
on every hand.
OutlCTTM Studied By Youth.
There was another side to Diamond's
life, however, which was only known
to himself. While a reader of heavy
literature, Diamond also read much of
notorious characters, including John
Tornow. the Washington desperado,
and Harry Tracy, the Oregon outlaw.
It Is believed he learned to admire
these men, and fascinated by the pos
sibility of himself gaining notoriety
for daring, he decided to enter the
world of crime.
In the sleeping room of his lonely
cabin on the outskirts of Glendale
were found hundreds of papers and
books, the pages of which were filled
with thrilling scenes enacted by des
perate outlaws.
Indications are that when finally the
time came for his adventure, he laid
...i;u i-m-eimiy x-ossessea of tnat
cunning displayed by much older and
experienced men of crime. Diamond
first prepared for the escape. He prob
ably recalled the expression of Tracy,
"That any fool could rob a bank, but
there were few who could get away."
Purchasing supplies. Diamond car
ried them to a point somewhere in the
dense timber within a few miles of
Glendale, awaiting that eventful day
when he should enter the bank in true
desperado style and emerge with the
wealth for which he longed.
Deed Planned Amid Society.
That Diamond was planning the hold
up and robbery at the very time he
participated In home talent plays, and
mingled with Glendale s best society,
the officers say there can be no doubt
tven the bank officials speak In high
iterms of Diamond's past life, and are
VlUt , V, gWf a satisfactory explana
tion, of his crime. He had $400 of his
own money and consequently was not
funds1 desPeration through lack of
i?Shler gmltl1- the victim of the
holdup, says he knew Diamond well
and would have been no more sur
prised had any of Glendale's mer
chants committed the act.
That Diamond made himself con
spicuous at the Benton and Looney
mines, on Whisky Creek, for the pur
pose of foiling the officers is the lat
est theory entertained by those con
ducting the man hunt.
Detective Ooe to Urants Pass.
Detective Staton. of Portland, who
has been here in the interests of the
company in which the bank was in
sured against robbery, believes that
Diamond changed his course after leav
ing the Looney mines Wednesday and
retraced his steps to the head of Mule
Creek, where he took the trail leading
down Rogue River.
In the event Staton's theory Is cor
rect. Diamond, may emerge from the
mountain districts in the .vicinity of
wants Pass or may continue his way
wWW? ;ast to Crescent City, where
he could leave the country by boat.
fc.taton tonight went to Grants Pass.
J'rom there he said he would strike
out over the trail in hope of blocking
any attempt that Diamond may make
to reacn Crescent City.
Local officers today received a mes
sage from Grants Pass to the effect

scription uttempted to board a theat
rical special train at that place early

Thompson, js a total wreck at Warm
Chuck, about 30 miles from Fish Egg,
on the west coast of Prince of Wales
Island, where she went on an uncharted
rock. No lives were lost.
The vessel's entire bottom was ripped
open and several persons narrowly es
caped drowning, as the water was al
most up to the steamer"s decks when
she was beached.
Word of the wreck was brought to
Ketchikan by the cannery tender
Orient, which was dispatched for as
sistance shortly after the accident,
which occurred at S o'clock Saturday
morning.
Heavy Cargo Carried.
The Curacao arrived here from Seat
tle Thursday evening, leaving about
midnight with a heavy load of general
merchandise and cannery supplies.
According to the report brought here
the Curacao had Just left the Elsh Egg
cannery, bound for the Swift cannery
at Warm Chuck, when she struck the
rock. She was running at full speed
on the usual course taken by steamers
when she met disaster.
It was soon found that the pumps
could not make headway against the
inrush of water, and Captain Thompson
immediately headed the vessel for the
beach at Swift's cannery. He managed
to bring his vessel up on shore Just
before the water reached the deckline.
Boats had been put out over the side,
and the last passenger was lifted oft
Just as the Curacao settled to the bot
tom. '
Ship Lies In Deep Water.
It was high tide at the time and only
a part of the Curacao's stack is visible.
The cargo will be an entire loss.
The tender Orient met the United

Gedney, which was at work on the west
coast of the island and which immedi
ately left for the scene of the wreck at
Warm Chuck. The Gedney is expected
to . bring the passengers here.
Captain Thompson is one of the old

EMIGRANTS MEAN LOSS
Speaker Clark Advocates Steps to
Check Outflow.
WASHINGTON, Jue 22. While com
mittees of both houses of Congress are
preparing to press immigration reforms
at the next session. Speaker Clark is
giving attention to the other side of
the question. Immigration, the speaker
said, in a statement tonight, is cost
ing the United States millions of dol
lars a year in actual money, aside from
the loss involved in giving up a real
American to be replaced by a foreign
immigrant
"It is high time." said Mr. Clark
"that more attention be paid to the
influence of immigration upon our
future.
"These Americans who are leaving us
understand our institutions, our ways
and our aspirations, while most of the

immigrants into this country have to
be' taught these things.
"In one week not long since . 1845
American farmers with $388,500 in cash
and $145,000 in personal property
crossed into Western Canada to setlle
permanently in British North America.
That's an average of $288 per capita
and that week was below the weekly
average into mat region alone. How
many go to other countries I do not
know.
"These emigrants are among our
best citizens. I am personally acquaint
ed with 200 or 300 of them. There is
not a bad or shiftless man in the lot.
They are seeking to better their con
ditions. They almost invariably take
their families with them. The prin
cipal reason they expatriate themselves
is the lure of cheaper lands and less
stringent land laws as to homestead
lng. etc.
Congress should make our home
stead conditions as easy as possible,
compatible with safety, and should in
crease the area for home building by
Judicious encouragement of both irri
gation and drainage. A statistician has
figured that the average adult citizen
is of the money value of $1000, consid
ering him solely as an asset to the
country. If that is true, the 1845
American farmers who crossed the
Canadian border depleted the assets of
the Republic that week by $2,378,500.

FARMERS OPPOSE TOWN
IXCORPORATIOX OF WOODBCRX
IS BEING FOUGHT.
Report Says Agitation Was Started
by Man Who Wishes to Open
Saloon In Jfe Town.
SALEM. Or, June 22. (Special.)
Circuit Judge Galloway has granted a
temporary restraining order prevent
ing the holding of an election in West
Woodburn tomorrow for the purpose
of incorporating the town. The court
held that the procedure for incorpora
tion was started under an ' old law
which was repealed by a law passed
at the last session of the Legislature.
A score of farmers whose land would
be in the limits of the proposed town
oppose incorporation on the ground
that they do not want to pay city taxes
on land used for agricultural purposes.
It is reported that the agitation for
the incorporation of the community
was started by a man who wishes to
open a saloon there, a new law pro
hibiting them in towns not incorporat
ed. It is charged that a number of the
signatures to a petition for incorpora
tion were obtained by fraud, the law
requiring that it must contain 150
names of residents, and that there are
not that many in West Woodburn.
It is alleged that, in order to obtain
a sufficient number, members of a sec
tion crew temporarily working in the
place, were Induced to sign.
The farmers are represented by S T
Richardson and C. M. Inman.
