TWO OF THE THREE
AUTO THIEVES CAUGHT
Picked Up This Afternoon at
ROseburg--May Be Brought
Here for Trial

Two of the three boys who left Salem
Tuesday in Ford stolen from +. II.
Barker, Polk county farmer, were
taken into custody at 1890 today at
Roseburg. The third escaped afoot and
the authorities are now pursuing him.
The trail was plain from the time
the boys left this city ana led through
Independence, Albany, Lane and Doug
las counties.
At the time of the capture the trio
was riding in Ford bearing a Wash
ington license tag, through which they
were traced south. The Baker machine
was found yesterday three miles west of
this city, stripped of practically every
thing movable.
Yesterday the lads broke into farm
house 10 miles south of Albany. Evi-
IDENTIFY they travelled fast for last night
the store at Comstock was entered and
considerable property removed.
At Albany the lads had stolen anotb-
er Ford and this was found today south
of that city with its fittings gone and
the power plant practically destroyed.
1t is thought probable that the Doug
las and Lane county authorities will
prosecute the lads. Later they may be
brought here to stand trial for the lar
ceny of Barker's automobile.

PROFITS DISCUSS
CHANGING OF NAME
Some Think Name Indicates
Party Is Against
Everything
lRy limited Pressl


st. Paul, Minn., July GA wide
spread move within the ranks of the
prohibition party to change the name
threatens to cause at least one hot scrap
when the prohibition national conven-
tion meets here July II to 81, it was
learned today.
The younger element especially ia
vors remaining the party in order, they
say, to do away with name "not
broad enough to encompass all policies
of the party" name which is
"against, rather than for something -
"The prohibition party is for good
many things and not always against
something as the name sometimes leads
people to believe" one in favor of re-
naming the party, declared today. The
names American, Liberal, Federal and
others have been suggested.
But not all prohibitonists want TO
do away with the name which they say
signifies their stand on "the greatest
issue before the American people-the
liquor traffic. The party name has
come to be looked upon with honor and
respect and it would be folly to change
it now, they say.
Those favoring remaining the party
admit that one of their purposes is to
catch votes, to take over the new wo-
mems party vote bodily, to adopt the
progressive party, and to draw votes
from any and all other parties.
Re-christening of the prohibition par
ty will come in for share of the dis
cussion at the st. Paul convention
Nvba IN U,,lx nj f,at
together meeting of men and women
representing every reform movement in
the United States will meet to talk
over consolidation.
The trend of the debate will be:
l. That the liquor question is the
greatest issue before the American
people, requiring immediate settle
ment.
.. That the issue can be settled only
by electing to power a political party
in favor of nationwide prohibition.
Only in this way can nationwide prohi
bitiOn be enacted and enforced.
3. That it is impossible to expect a
solution of the issue through the ere.
publican elephant. the democratic don
key, or the dccapitated bull moose.
4. What political party then shall be
put in power to settle the issue, the
prohibition party as such, or thor
ough new party similar to the prohibit
ton party but seeking votes under a
different name.
To this get-together meeting the pro-
hibitionists have invited the progress
sive national committee and other party
leaders and $4,000 other reform work
ers, both men and women, throughout
the United States.
