VACATION'S JOY
TOLD IN RHYME
GIRL, LOOKS FORWARD TO GIV
ING PLEASURE TO FRIEND.
Swimmin Pool, Picnics on Farm
and Visit to Beach as Caddy, Boy's
Idea of Having Good Time.
A reporter of The Oregonian yester
day received an assignment to get up
a sory of the fact that school was out.
As he had been out of school for
years and could not write with the nec
essary feeling, he hunted up three pu
pils who were able to produce all the
feeling anyone would want on this
subject.
Margaret Gruenig, aged 12 years, a
pupil of. the sixth B grade in the Hol-
laday School, reported as follows on
the subject, "Why I am glad school Is
out":
"No more pencils, no more books,
"No more teacher's cranky looks.
"At last schoolj has let out. Now In
for a good time. I am certainly glad
that I am not tied down to the hard
school bench for the next couple of
months.
"Learning to swim will make a good
pastime- this Summer. A vacation In
the country will be the best sport of
all. Some of the children will have a
good time at the. beach and others at
the mountains, but In the end it all
amounts to the same. It's the freedom
we are after."
Sylvia Westengard, aged 11 years, a
pupil of the Davis School, wrote:
"I have several different reasons for
being glad school is out. First I am
glad I passed honorary. Now I can go
to the beach and have a good time Ash
ing, clamming and. bathing in the
ocean. But what pleases me most Is
to make a little friend of mine very
happy this Summer by taking her with
me to tho beach. She has never seen
the ocean and I know she will think
it great sport to go In wading with
me. Then think of the nice trip on
the boat going home ready for school."
A boy's version of the situation is
given by Harlan Gram, aged 12 years,
living at 358 Larrabee street, a pupil
in the sixth B grade:
"Today is tho last day of school and
I know many kids are happy as I am.
This is vacation time and all the boys
are glad. We are looking forward to
the swimming pool and the good times
wo spend with our friends on picnics
and on the farm. Every vacation I go
to the beach and earn money by-being
caddy for men. This money I put In
the bank. There are other games and
pastimes we have which help make a
very good vacation."

MUNICH. Bavaria. June 26. The 82-
year-old Duke Ludwig of Bavaria, a
brother-in-law of" the Austrian Em
peror, entered suit today for divorce
against his second morganatic wife, a
former ballet girl of the Bavarian court
opera, whose maiden name was Antonio
Earth and who is just 40 years young
er than her husband. He married her
in 1892. Duke Ludwig has taken two
consorts from the stage, first 'marry
ing morganatically an actress named
Henrietta Mundel, who died in 1891.
The Bavarian . royal court treated
Duke Ludwig's first wife with great
consideration and she received the ti
tle of Baroness von Wallersee. An
tonio Barth, however, did not occupy

SALOONS LOSE PRETZELS
Last Hope of Missouri Bartender and
"Free Lunch" Devotee Goes.
JEFFERSON CITT. Mo., June 26.
The last hope of the Missouri bar
tender and liis "free lunch" devotee
was shattered today when Assistant
Attorney Rutherford ruled that pretzels
are food, and that serving them in
saloons violates the anti-free lunch
law.
Application for a ruling on the right
of the twisted German food in the bar
rooms was made by Patrick Larkln,
secretary of the police department of
Kansas City. Officials there and In St.
Louis have permitted the free distri
bution of pretzels in saloons since the
new law became effective.

Hold-Up I liglit Through Hills
Described at Gold Beach.
GOLD BEACH. Or., June 26. (Spe
cial.) Tired, sick and hungry from his
ten days" journey over the rugged
mountain trails, Ray Diamond, the
youthful bank robber, who on Monday,
June 9. held up Cashier Smith, of the
Glendale State Bank, and secured over
$2600 in cash, walked into Gold Beach
this morning and surrendered to Sheriff
Bailey.
Diamond is being held In the coun
ty jail of Curry County pending
the arrival of Sheriff Quine and Deputy
Sheriff Frank Hopkins, who will leave
for this city after the prisoner tomor
row. When searched following his formal
arrest a total of J2610 was found on
his person. Of this amount J19S0 was
in currency and J630 in gold was found
in his shoes and wrapped about his
limbs. In his pocketbook was found
about $33. which was his own money.
Diamond says he got only $2610 from
the bank.
Holdup and flight Described.
Diamond talked freely to a corre
spondent of The Oregonian after first
declaring he would say nothing for
publication until he appeared in court.
Finally he said: I had just as well
tell the whole story." I was drunk when
I robbed the bank and had been drink
ing nearly a week because my lungs
hurt. I was nearly wild drunk and
I am worse than an 'Ingun' when
drunk.
"I had been out hunting and when
I approached the bank I had no inten
tions of robbing it until the thought
struck me all at once. I went in and
told the cashier to hand over the
money.
"If he had grabbed my gun it would
have been all off and I would not have
shot, and would have thought it a
good joke.
"I had not planned to rob the bank
until walking by it, but I had been
wanting to go to school and study
drawing and thought 'here's my chance
to get money,' and I went after it.
When I came out with it, I hardly
knew what to do.
"They commenced shooting at mc,
and when bullets went between my
legs and grazing the skin, I guoss I
returned the fire, but didn't try to
hit anyone.
Home Visited In Kllgbt.
"I got out of town and circled
around to my father's ranch, got my
knapsack out near the sprinsr. where
I had left it when coming from hunt
ing, and started for the mountains. I
camped four or live miles this side of
Glendale. the first night and crossed
the mountains the next morning.
"I met three fellows with six-shooters,
rifles and butciierknlves. I guess they
were looking for me, but I Joshed with
them and saw they were afraid to try
to take me. I told them 1 was going
to Galice, but I started tho other way,
and when I looked back they were run
ning as fast as they could go for
Galice and I hit it up the other way.
"Having sobered up, I decided to
give myself up and Intended to go to
Grants Pass, but thought so many
armed fellows, like these, would be
waiting for me that someone would
shoot. I did not want to kill anyone
and didn't want to be shot myself. I
started for the mountains, started
south, went to the Peavinc Ranger sta
tion, cut across southeast to Bear
Creek, was lost In a fog a day, went
down Howard Creek, spent one day in
the tunnel, went across Bear Creek and
stayed three nights at ranger stations.
My grub 'run out' and I came on dowu
and reached Norton's mine and on
Wednesday I got to the Wootcy Red
Tub mine for dinner.
Fugitive Poses as Manhunter.
"They all talked about that 'outlaw
bank robber,' so I told them .1 was
hunting him.
"I went to Agness and bought a suit
of clothes for $7.50 and some tobacco.
I stopped at the Cooley Hotel at Ag
ness Wednesday night and left this
morning on the fish boat at u o'clock
with Ellhu Fry for Gold Beach.
"I threw my rifle overboard and made
the boatman think I dropped it by ac
pident while cleaning it. 1 never had
any pistols or knives; nothing but my
25-35 rifle.
"I guess I am In for it. but I want to
get back and take my medicine."
It is the belief of the Gold Beach of
ficers that Diamond will defend his ac
tion on the grounds of being intoxi
cated, or mental irresponsibility. . It
appears perfectly rational, however, the
officers say, and displays no symptoms
of Insanity.
Diamond entertains the hope that the
return of the money intact may save
him from a long prison term.
