Mrs. C. E. Ingram, of Everett,
Accuses Mate of Stealing
Diamonds Worth $3000. .
GIRL COMPANION IS HELD
Investigation Is Being Conducted
by Federal Authorities Which
Slay Result in Charges Tin
der Alann White Slave Act.
To be traced down by a vengeful
wife, and charged with the theft of
$3000 worth of her diamonds, as well
as to face a more serious charge, is
the portion 'of Claude E. Ingram, of
Everett, Wash., who was arrested yes
terday in the Montgomery Apartments,
by Patrolmen Miller and Wellbrook.
With bim was Ceclle Stennett. of
Duval, Wash., a winsome girl of 19
years.
Ingram, who is 30 years old and of
good personal appearance and address,
is held incommunicado in the City Jail,
pending the probable filing of a Gov
ernment white slavery charge. It is
Hlleged that he placed Miss Stennett In
a disorderly house.
Mrs. Ingram followed the couple to
this city, after paying 1100 to a person
in Everett for information of her hus
band's plans. Before leaving Seattle
she signed a complaint against In-
sram charging him with a violation
of the Mann act. Mrs. Ingram is 23
years old and was married to Ingram
after a trairedy which took place in
Vancouver, B. C, in the Spring of 1914
Tragedy Is Recalled.
A negro actor, Ralph Saunders, In
gram says, wh'o was jealous of his at
tentions to Goldie Wright, as Mrs. In
gram was then known, broke into
Ingram's apartments on the night of
March 22, 191. He was shot and
killed by Ingram, who was acquitted
on the grounds of self-defense. This
statement was made yesterday ' by
Ingram.
Airs. Ingram now declares that she
intrusted the key to a safety deposit
box, containing $3000 worth of dia
monds, to Ingram, on October 30. This
was in Everett, Wash. She maintains
that Ingram not only stole the jewel
that she had asked him to deposit, but
took the remainder of her diamonds,
one of which was valued at $1S00.
Ingram, his wife says, fled from Ev
erett with the Stennett girl, sending
the pawn ticket for the largest stone,
with the advice that she could redeem
it. He had pawned the diamond for
$600. Arriving in this city, Mrs. In
gram displayed the pawn ticket, on an
Everett shop, in proof of her conten
tion. Patrolman Miller and Wellbrook
were assigned to the case, and found
Ingram and Miss Stennett at the Mont
gomery Apartments.
The case was investigated by C. P.
Tray, special agent of the Department
of Justice, who caused the detention of
Ingram and ordered that he be per
mitted to talk with no one.
Wife's Backsliding Alleged.
Before this order was issued. Ins-rnm
talked frankly about his arrest and the
circumstances which led to it. He de
nied naving stolen his wife's Jewelry,
and maintained that the $1800 dia
mond, which he pawned, was his own
property and that she had given it to
jinn. Mrs. ingrain, ner nusdand said,
was not the sort of woman with whom
he chose to live. He left her shortly
niier meir marriage, ine husband dv
clared, because of her return to evil
ways, but said she had dogged him
" insisieu upon living with him.
As for Miss 'Stennett. Ingram was
insistent that she was a snlendirl riri
and that he had merely intended to
employ her as his housekeeper. He
naa Known ner in Everett, continued
Ingram, but did not elope with her,
their meeting ir this city being accidental.
Ingram had $356 when searched at
the police station, while the Stennett
giri naa iuu ana some cheap jewelry.
The latter was dressed In an expensive
coat and other garments, which Mrs.
Ingram says were stolen from her. No
trace of the missing Jewelry was
found.
"Sure, I have a few "rocks,' " admit
ted Ingram, "but they are not my
wife's and never were. They're in a
safe place, too."
Miss Stennett Is held In the women's
quarters of the City Jail, as-a material
witness against Ingram.

collections bad been made inside the

Couch. Principal Addresses Social
Workers' Club on Necessity of
Interesting Parents In Re
ducing This Evil.
That 60.09O is being wasted every
year by the non-attendance of school
children in the public schools of Ore
gon. was the statement made yesterday
by A. M. Cannon, principal of the Couch
School, who addressed the Social Work
ers' Club at its conference in Room A.
library.
Mr. Cannon said that In Portland
there is an average of 1200 absences a
day in the schools, and that these ab
sences are in a large proportion un
necessary, and that there Is about
$300 a day allowed for the education
of these children, and that sum Is be
ing wasted by their non-attendance.
He urged greater Interest .on the part
of the parents and teachers to encour
age the children to want to go to
school. Mr. Cannon spoke of the neces
sity of having a well-equipped attend
ance department, with enough officers
to do the work.
Attendance Officer Reports.
Hugh C. Krum, attendance officer,
stated that he and his two assistants
have to cover the entire district, in
cluding 69 public and .40 private and
parochial schools. Last year there were
2044 cases reported and examined.
1503 calls made at the homes, S97 in
the public schools, and 12 In the pri
vate schools. Mr. Krum declared that,
without more assistants, he could not
do the work properly, and the economic
waste now going on could not be les
sened unless the public realized condi
tions and assisted in encouraging bet
ter attendance. The social workers
declared that each school day Is worth
to a child the sum of $5, and that chil
dren should be taught to realize their
opportunities.
124S Absent Monday.
On Monday last there were 1848 chil
dren absent from Portland grade
schools, and this .did cot Include Ock
ley Green- and Sell wood Schools, which
were closed by the " bureau of public
health.
Mrs. Millie Trumbull, secretary of the
child labor commission, said that the
truancy and the attendance problems
are not police,' but social workers',
problems. Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, Miss
Manley, of the Allen School, and George
Thacher were among the other speak
ers. All agreed that a large percentage
of the absences are unnecessary. Al
lowances, of course, are made for sick
ness and legitimate excuses.
The next meeting of the Social
Workers' Club will be a conference on
December 14. "Illegitimacy" will bo
the subject of discussion.
