Snanibrook while the oc cupants, surreplisiously United out ol town, without leiting themselves be seen. The car is evidently a stolen one, although the oincara have as yet received no definite information in regard to it. On the rear seat were piled three expensive tires, entirely new, together with three license tags, a Dodge speedometer and other articles. In one of the spacious door pockets was flound a very valu able pair of leather driving gloves, an owners tag, which belongs with an altogether different car and sev eral silk shirts, while thrown over the seat were two heavy army over coats and in the rear ot the tonneau was a suitcase full of fancy clothes. From all evidence it is believed that the two men brought the car to Roseburg, have been traveling from lower California, making a business of stealing cars whereever they thought they could protlt there by. Both escaped before sufficient evidence could be obtained to war rant their arrest but will probably be captured soon as their descrip tion has been telegraphed through out the state and it is quite certain they will be brought to Justice. . Arrived Yesterday. They were first seen by officer Shainbrook, shortly after noon yes terday. He had received a tele phone cull from Medford early in the morning stating that three tires had been stolen from that city und was given the numbers. Although he had had no Information In re gard to the car, he became suspi cious and followed It to the Deer Oreek bridge, where the drivers .stopped the auto and went buck to the Motor Shop Oarage-, where they offered one of the stolen tires for sale. Mr. Shainbrook had not suf ficient Information In regard to the tires and so called up the Medford officials, and during the time he was -waiting Tor an answer the two men, who could not be arrested at that time for lack of evidence, became aware that the officer was on their trail and faded." One of them, how ever, In conversation gave the name of A. T. Hutcher. having a letter and an army discharge to show his Inden tity. He said he had been wilh an auto party which had stopped at the camp grounds but that the other oc cupants of the car had "ditched" him and had gone to California by train. Tires Arc Identified. After waiting for about an hour hoping that the men would make an attempt to take the car out Marshal Shambrook had It driven to the city hall where he made a thorough In vestigation, finding the tires wanted at Medlord on the rear scat. lu one of the pockets was found an owner' card, which is required by the California state law. giving the name of Eleva K. Lindsay W'hiltier. Calif. Mr. Shainbrook telegraphed to the address Immediately and re ceived word that the Lindsay car had been recovered. There were two California license tags and one Oregon tag. the latter. having been stolen off a Dodge car at Medford. A Dodge speedometer was also a part of the robber's haul. Iocal of ficers have wired to the Cadillac factory in an effort to locate the owfier of this fine machine. OF SEATTLE v r IBv Associated Press.) SKATTLB. Aug. 28.

De Havilands Will Replace Curtis Shipson California Forest Patrol. SHOULD WORK ON FIELD .Major Smith I'rges Immediate Ac tion to llit Local Field in Sluiiw For l'luiie Which Will Stop Here Tills Winter. On Hie way to Redding, where a forest patrol Is to be -instituted, suven Curtis Planes, which have heretofore been lu use in this state and which were recently replaced with DcHavilands, passed through Roseburg yesterday afternoon. The first squadron was commanded n Major Smith and had as pilots Lieutenants Mcllunry, Goodrich and Sergeant Alelvoe. with corporals Make and Currier as mechanics. The second squadron of three pianos was commanded by Lieutenant Kiel, and had Lieutenant Sliramm and Sgt. La Jotto as pilots wiln Sor- geauts Wagner und layior as mechanics. Major Smith stales that ho ex pects within a short time that De Havilands will replace tho 'Jennies' In the work out of Redding. He says they are much better adapted for patrol work and will untloiiiit edly be more generally used for that sort of work In the futuro. In speaking of t'.e change of base to Eugene, Major Smith said: "Eu geno is the logical place for the state base. Yesterday a plane leav ing tliat city, flew to me east .,1 tt.n rn.n.i. its fur n.trlli nu Portland, crossed over to the range I the east and flew back to En gene without a stop. With the for mer planes it would have taken four stops to have covered the same ter ritoryand twice the lime. The pa trol could not have been made from either Roseburg or Salem be cause the one is too far south and tho other too far north!" Before leaving Major Smith urged the local citizens to get to work on the local field and put it in shape for winter. "You have the best na tural field north of Sacramento, he sand, and should get to work at once lo Improve It. Eugene has the. best surfaced field In the state at present, but.lt has meant work. A great deal of money has been spent and a great deal of t'itne expended, but the result has been accomplish ed, and although their field is not as good as this one, considering the natural features, yet its surface is much better. tour field will un doubtedly be needed this winter as there will be many planes nlong this way. There are very few, places In the state where landings can bo made In wet weather, so vou want to get Iiiirv and be one of the places here they can stop." In commenting upon Senator Mi Nary's telegram he stated that Co Arnold will doubtless make a com plete report to. the lilrector of Air Service, and that when tho matter Is fully explained tho executive will dollblloss agree with Colonel Ar nold that the change was for the best.
