It Is claimed that they have so,con fessed, and In the police station In the city hall building is a large quan tity of articles stolen from cars, which was recovered from their abode In a shack in the west end just outside the city limits and from various caches about town. All persons who have missed things from their parked cars for a week or two past are urged by Chief of Po lice Adams to come and look over the recovered plunder, and see If they can Identify some of it as stolen from them. This plunder consists of over coats, blankets, all kinds of tools, bags, laprobes, ladles' purses, t kodaks, fish ing tackle and the like. The two men under arrest had at tracted the attention of Patrolman . Cave for some time, and this curiosity on hlB part led to their undoing. They pretended to be employed at odd jobs. but he noticed they were always loit ering or hanging around the streets early and late at night. Finally he de- cldod to arrest them on suspicion. Fol lowing the arrest it Is claimed they be came talkative, told where they lived, etc., and Chief Adanm then went out to their above and found quite a lot of stolen articles. The police decided to bring a chargo of grand larceny against them, and to bring the case direct before the grand jury, hence Chief Adams and Sheriff Terrlll yesterday took the young men over to the county jail at Jacksonville. Chief of Police Adams and Patrol men Prescott and Cave are of the be lief that In those arrests they have put an end to most of the auto thiev ing from cars. Johnson has lived hero for the past year, but Wilson has been horo for only three or four weeks. IS SENT TO JA!L 7. II. Kennedy, n man about town, arrested ThankSKlvIng morning; by Sam B.

MEETS ME AT ARMORY TUESDAY OREGON Ted Thye of the Multnomah Ath letic club of Portland, and Ad Schnel- dau of Los Angeles and Gold Hill, will wrestle at the Armory next Tuesday evening, In what promises to be the most thrilling bout of Its kind ever staged in this section. The match will be Police Gazette ruies, best two out of three falls, and will be staged under the auspices of the local post of the American Iegion. Last spring at Gold Hill Schneidau won on a technicality from Thye, and the grapplers have not been feeling sriv too sociable towards each other since. They locked at Portland Bin weeks ago, Thye winning the bout, the preliminary oratory being the most violent ever unleashed In a mat con test In the state. Now they have been rematched for next Tuesday. There will be two good preliminary events, and owing to the prominence of the contestants, a good crowd should be on hand.

(Continued From Page One) SEATTLE. Dec. 1. Three stellar football players will be absent from the gridiron when the University of Washington eleven faces the Univer sity of Oregon team at the stadium here, this afternoon for the seven teenth game between the institutions. Hal Chapman, the veteran Oregon quarterback, who tore a ligament In one of his legs during the practice Thanksgiving day at Eugene and Jens Terj"aen, Webfooter halfback, who broke a small bone in one ankle dur ing the Oregon Aggie clash last Satur day, will be missing from the visitors' Uneup today while Ed Kuhn, Husky tackier, will not play for the Purple and Gold team, due to Injuries. Three Washington regulars and two second string men on the Husky squad will appear for the last time in football suits here today. Captain Wayne Hall, Leo oar d Zlel and Jimmy Bryan have all seen three years of service on the Husky varsity, while Chuck Smith, Ray Hill and Hunter Miles have also played their last sea son. Altho on paper the Huskies appear to have an advantage as a point earn ing machine, the Webfootera were ex pected today to put up a hard fight. Last year the two elevens fought to a 3-3 tie on the stadium gridiron. The Oregon team at that time, however, was considered stronger. With but one defeat suffered by the University of Washington at the hands of the University of California the Husky steam roller was thought today to be slightly stronger than their oppo nents. The game is of utmost Importance to the Purple and Oold eleven, for if they win, tt was considered probable In student circles that the faculty meeting Monday would pass favorably on an Invitation to play at Pasadena New Year's day. On the other hand, If the Oregon team gets the best side of the score, the prospects for a trip to California are not considered good. The probable ftneup follows: U. of W, Position U. of O.

This Is the last week-end before the general election and the canvassers and speakers of the three leading parties will be very busy. Each party says It has been making great progress and each Is confidently predicting Its own vic tory. The conservatives say they are making many converts to Stanley Haldwin s protection policy - in the northern districts. Their opponents say they are likely to. lose London and the south because of the apathy of the electors and the. lack of con servative canvassers. The liberals' . clulm to progress Is based to a largo- extent on Lloyd Oeorge's energetic campaign. The party workers profess confidence that the. election will result In an enor mous victory for free trade. . lioth conservative and liberal speakers report lubor as being in dif ficulties over .the capital levy, ulleging thut this plank for the labor plutform is proving to be a white elephant and is likely to be the ruin of the nurty's hopes. The communists are held responsi ble for tho constant interruption of the other parties' meetings. These disturbuncefi have been carried so far as to prevent some gatherings and In one London constituency, North Bat tersea, the liberal candidate has an nounced that , Inasmuch as he was not allowed to address meetings. .he would abandon the attempt and carry out his campaign solely by canvassing.

A dra matic story of how Marrlner A. Browning fired the shot which killed Benjamin T. Ballantyne and which possibly prevented Ballantyne from keeping his anger-born oath to .kill John Browning, Jr., was told by John Browning, Jr., yesterday in the testi mony which .concluded the fourth week of the trial which Is. to decide whether the Browning cousins wil fully killed Ballantyne as charged by the state or whether the fatal shot was fired when the last second of possible conciliation had passed, as claimed by the defense. - . 1 1 The shooting occurred last April after a discussion of a probable sep aration between Ballantyne and his wife, who is John Browning's sister. Browning, testifying in his own de fense said that Ballantyne in a blast of anger had rushed for his loaded re volver, secured it and had swung practically into position to shoot in spite tf the fact that Browning had him covered and was cautioning him not to do anything desperate; Mar riner Browning came in then, the wit ness said, and after calling to Balkin tyne "drop it. drop lt." fired the shot which resulted in Ballantyne's death. U. S. S. W. VIRGINIA. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. The navy line gains one of the proudest Bhlps afloat today with the commission at the Norfolk navy yard of the battle ship West Virginia. Embodying all the knowledge of naval architecture and protective de vices gained during and since the bat tle of Jutland, the big fighting craft, a Bister ship of the Maryland and the Colorado, takes the place of the North Dakota, which Is to be scrapped under the provisions of the Washington conference navy treaty. "Commissioning of the West Vir ginia will inark the end of an era," said Secretary Denby In a letter to Captain Thomas Senn who is placed in mmmnnij "for veara to come there ' will be no more competition In capital ships among -the great naval powers." I Displacing 32,600 tons, she is, the I fifth battleship equipped with elec tric drive and Is described oy secre tary Denby as being the latest of the superdreadnaughts. The West Virginia, Maryland and Colorado are the largest ahlps In tb United States navy, but they are not' as the new Japanese battleships, the Mutsu and Nagato, and) the British battle cruiser Hood la considerably larger than either the West Virginia class or the Mutsu class.
