shot Gostanian. Assistant Prosecu-
tor Jasnowski asked him II Mrs.

Bold Pair Land in Cell After Lift
ing Two Machines Within
Week.

Lawrence La Valley, from out Fair
view way, is about the champion JOY
rider of this joy-riding community. 1t
may be safely set forth that Law
renee Is strong on the hill and dale
stun especially when he Is skimming
over the scenery In perfectly good
automobiles belonging to other par
ties.
Mr.. La Valley and his particular
friend, Mr.. Raymond Bernor, are now
languishing behind the bars in the
central police station, gnawing at the
gratings. while autos .whirring by OH
the street, give the merry chug-chus
to their Jealous optics.
Detectives Glare and Kunkel, who
devote most of their energies to spoil
ing the delirious cruises of youthful
gasoline fiends, are responsible for
the arrest of the two.
Two automobiles, taken within a
single week, comprise the recent ac-
tivities OF Messrs. La Valley and Ber-
nor. Saturday they began operations
by breaking into garage at No. 345
Montclair-aye., where lhey seized the
auto of Harold Ducharme, No. 4O4
Montclair-ave All Saturday night
and a great portion Of Sunday. they
devoted to shattering speed records.
Sunday, they had the misfortune to
run into horse and buggy at Wood
ward.ave. and High-st. The driver OF
the rig thought the youths hardly be-
longed in the machine and he furnish
ed their descriptions to the police.
After the collision the youths aban-
doned the auto and 1t was recovered.
But their thirst for auto-cruisins
was by no means satisfied Tuesday
they took the machine belonging to
DR.. George K. Clark, No. 397 Hurl-
but-ave., and drove away. This ma
chine was later recovered, and the
Doctor left 1t at grocery store at
Jefferson and Lycaste-aves.
The young men went to the grocery
Wednesday and deliberately stole the
machine again. BY this time, the de-
tectives were on their trail, however.
Wednesday Bernor was arrested In
his home, No. 236 Lycaste-ave., and
La Valley was found in his home, No.
174 La May-ave., Thursday. Both
are held in the central police station
on grand larceny charges.

$35 to George Gillespie. at Detroit,

learned this morning. The draft,
which was cashed at Detroit bank,
is In the hands Of Detective Baker.
1t appears that George Jefferson,
who shipped himself out Of Jackson
prison last August, was to send In

once outside he deserted and has not
been heard from since. Then the
other convicts managed to communi.

Mrs. Louis Haberman arrived last
evening from Rico, with her two
daughters and son and left this morn
ing for Boulder, to remain through the
school year. The young ladies', Misses
Caroline and Clara, were guests OF
Miss Eulalie Pulliam over night. Mr..
Haberman, who spent yesterday in
town on business, accompanied his
family to Boulder to see them settled
for the winter. Miss Caroline gradu-
ated from the state university last
June, and returns to her alma mater
this fall as assistant instructor in Ger
man. The two younger members of
the family were returning to their
studies in different departments of
the university. Mrs. Haberman will
keep house for the family until the
close of the school term, next June.
Mr.. Haberman expects to return in a
week or ten days.

cloths, and goods of smooth texture.
In ladies' coats there is radical
change. The very newest is full
length reversible coat, loose fitting,
and generally of mixed goods with
large collars and cuffs in plain ma
terials of contrasting color. These
are SO made that they may be worn
with either surface out, so that the
person owning it has two coats in one.
Next to the reversible coat, manu-
facturers are emphasizing the cara
cules in black and plain colors, and
also are using black plush, for all
ages, from the child of five years to
the lady who no longer has birthday.
Black caracule will be the dressy coat
for the coming season.
Most women will be sorry to learn
that the convenient one-piece dress
is disappearing, and the former popu-
lar waist is back again into favor.
All sleeves on waists and dresses will
be short this finter the only excep-
tions being the sleeves of coats and
suits. The chiffon waist over silk,
often embroidered and always hand
somely trimmed, is very popular this
season.
The prices on suits are lower than
six months ago, due in some measure
to the smaller quantity used in the
garments, and also to the tendency of
the merchants to purchase less heav-
lily than usual, as well as the large
stock on hand by the manufacturers.
Persons intending to purchase a
winter suit will do well to buy early
since after the stock on hand is made
up, there will be scarcity of new ma
terial as manufacturers are econo-
MIXING on their output, and choice
of nice material will not be possible
later in the season.
