OF AUTO THEFTS
Two young men, Russell Johnson
aged 22 years, and George Wilson,
aged 18 years, following their arrest
by Night Patrolman Cave In this city,
are In the county jail at Jacksonville,
awaiting a grand jury hearing of the
charge that they have been doing most
of the thieving lately from automo
biles parked about town.
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.

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.

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.

At Tago-Last Time Tonight
LONDON, Dec. 1. 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.

TELLS STORY OF
S.
SALT LAKE! CITT, Dec. 1. 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.
