CORVALLIS AUTOIST
GETS JAIL SENTENCE
This For Not Needing Law As
To Actions Following a
Collision

John Ulmer, Of Corvallis, is doing a
70 l-2 davs sentence in the Marion
comfy iail because he did not stop his
automobile and see whether any assist
ance was necessary when he ran into
+be big Winton car of R. P. Boise near
Woodburn Sunday evening with his
little Chevrolet.
This is the first conviction under the
new motor law that went into erect
August l and is warning to automo-
bile drivers and all motorists to stop
and give whatever aid is possible when
a collision occurs. The new law re-
ouires the person who runs into another
with a motor to stop and render as
sistanee. to leave his name and the
number cf his car with the other par
tv. and to take the name of the other
marty and the number of his car and
the names of all witnesses,
This Timer failed to do when ne ran
into the Boise car. His car caught the
Winton car inside the front wheel ana
turned If about at an angle of 40 de-
orees so that it headed for telephone
nole. When the Winton car swung
around it freed the smaller car and
Timer raced on as fast as gasoline
would let him.
However. the chauffeur of the Win
ton car got a good look at Timer ana
gave a good description Of the ear SO
that on instructions wired ahead. ne
was arrested before he reached Port
land The trial was held Monday al
Woodburn with Deputy District Attor-
nev Heltzel prosecuting. The jury DIS
agreed and yesterday the case was
tried again with the result that YER
diet of guilty was reached.
The new code says that if man
rms into another and then runs away
without rendering any assistance ne
is presumed to be guilty.

Agent for Krupps and Su-
spected Spy Captured After
Long Search

Seattle, Wash, Aug. S.-A nation
wide search for Herr Louis Hollewig
Won Bettenhausen, agent for the
Krupps of Essen, Germany. United
States army deserter and suspected
German spy, ended in Seattle today
when he was identified by Howard
Wright, in charge of the bureau of in,
vestigation for the federal department
of justice.
Following a career of international
intrigue, Won Bettenhausen is now in
custody of United States army off
cials at Fort Lawton. He will be i'm
prisoned at Alcatraz, Cal.
Technically Bettenhausen is charged
with desertion from the United States
army.
But secret service Investigators have

Philippines, Vladivostok, Borneo, Java,
Australia, Hawaii, Mexico, and final
ly in the little town of Leavenworth
Wash, on the summit of the Cascades
where large numbers of l. w. w. pas:
to and from the eastern Washington ae
ricultural centers. A visit paid to Leav
enworth by Won Bettenhausen three
weeks ago is now being investigated
He is suspected of being connected
with recent I. w. W. disturbances in
that district.
Orders to proceed with the arrest
came from Washington, D. @.
Won Bettenhausen arrived in Seat
tie January 30.
Is A Deserter
Only 81 years of age, an expert me
chanic, he obtained employment at the
Duthie Shipyards here.
That he threatened to blow up Unit

AIR SQUADRON HAS
THRILLING BATTLE
Was Far Outnumbered by
Tango Fleet But Fought
Its Way Home
BY ". 5. Forrest

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, Aug. S.-A thrilling air bat
tie in which four members of the La
fayette escadrille successfully fought
off the famous German "tango squad
ROM of Baron Riehofen, was describ-
ed in reports received here today from
the front.
Lieutenant Rauol Lufberry of New
York, Sergeant Edward Parsons of
Springfield, Mass, Corporal Walter
Lowell of Concord, Mass, and Corporal
Harold Willis of Boston comprised the
Lafayette patrol engaged in the fight
Far outnumbered, the Americans man
euvered, dipped and kept their ma
chine guns going until finally able to
elude the Germans. Parsons and Willis
escaped only by calling into play all
the acrobatic stunts they knew. Their
final dash to safety was with fancy
spring nose dive of thousands of feet
The German "tango" squadron is
always quickly identified in the air,
owing to the unusual marking of its
machines. The wings of the aeroplanes
are black, while the bodies and tails
are scarlet.
The Lafayette patrol was eight
miles in German territory when they
encountered the "tangoers. The Ger
mans Immediately began to close in
and then followed a half hour fight, as
lively as has been reported in months.
Had Five Battles
Lufberry had five distinct fights as
he wheeled and maneuvered high up
in the air. Lowell and Willis each
| fought off three machines, which came
charging and firing on them. Up above
the fighting "field" was Parsons. The
latter was assigned to the task of pro-
tecting the fighters in seeing that no
enemy reinforcements came up.
AS the fight progressed, two, and
| finally four German monoplanes sue
ceeded in mixing in the fight. They
detoured high in the air, despite Par
sons efforts, and for time had the
Lafayette fliers completely cut off rom
withdrawal to their own lines.
The real fight to avoid being brought
down or forced to alight behind the
German lines then began. Lufberry
fought his way through the enemy and
while Parsons and Willis were doing
the same thing, mixing their shots
with acrobatics, Lowell climbed high
over the Germans and peppered them
with his machine gun.
The escape of the Americans was
due to their GOODNESS and judgment and
also to the fact that they had better
machines. The Lafayette machines
were much faster than the German.

Wait for Government
to Establish Prices

New York, Aug. S.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
says:
As a potential market factor, there is
only one thing which holds much inter
est for Wall street these quiet days and
that is the question of price fixing,
which Washington is taking its own
time to settle.
Until the squabbles and discussions
are at an end the securities market will
remain what it has been for the last
few weeks, an expectant witness OF
events, buying little and selling little,
aid in some danger of relapsing into a
mere dron1ng affair without initiative
or purpose or trend.
1t is natural that the steel, equipment
and munitions issues should feel the eff
fects of the prevailing uncertainties
most keenly and they showed this plain
Iy enough today United States Steel
receded to the neighborhood of 125 and
bethlehem Steel GA" lost seven points,
while the "'B" stock lost more than six
points. One to two points were lost by
sreh shares as Crucible Steel, American
Locomotive, Baldwin Locomotive, Cen
trail Leather, Mexican Petroleum and
others likewise sold down. The marine
stocks were strong throughout, although
subject to occasional fluctuations.
The tobacco issues were in good de-
mand. There was little change in the
general aspect of the market in the last
hour although there were still further
recessions in the steel, equipment and
munitions group.
Bonds were somewhat more active and
easier,

KILLED HIS PARENTS
SAYS HE FEELSBETTER
After the Murder Son Sur.
renders, Is Believed To
Be Insane

Fresno, Cal, Aug. Scr cut out my
fathers tongue and took it as a relic, !"
said A. S. Gary, slayer of his father
and mother, in a statement to the
United Press regarding the reasons for
his double crime.
Gary shot his parents to death with
small calibred revolver at their
ranch home near here alleging that
they had systematically wronged him
for years. The killing of the aged
couple, 10th over so, was revealed when
Gary rode his bicycle into Selma, told
the sheriff Of his deed and surrendered
81 wanted to keep fathers tongue
for the rest of my life," Gary con-
tinued, "because it ruined me and
others of my family. 1t told more un-
truths than any other tongue in the
whole world.'
Gary is believed to be insane. He is
SO years old, graduate of theologi-
cal college in Massachusetts, and for six
years travelled about the country as a
preacher. His father was one of the
pioneer Armenian vinyardists of Fres-
no county and was widely known in
this section.
"My vineyard and fruit ranch were
stolen from me by my parents" Gary
added 'fWhen Judge George E..
Church in Fresno recently threw out
of court my suit for one-third of the
ranch on which my parents lived, I
decided to do away with my mother
and father.
Wanted to Marry.
"My father had not treated me fair
ly. He forced me to abandon marriage
at two different times when / had ar
ranged to wed Armenian girls. had
bought sixty acre vineyard for my
parents and had worked hard to plant
raisin grapes. Then my parents swim
died me out of the whole ranch and
told me to get out and to stay away
forever.
"I found on the ranch a will made
out by my father leaving me only five
dollars and giving the property to rela-
tives in Armenia"
Gray's suit against his father, which
he lost, was for one third share for
life in his fathers estate. He said
he put in this claim in order to get
some property and get married. He
brooded for months over his alleged
wrongs, he said, and consulted several
lawyers regarding his suit. They told
him his case was hopeless and it was
then he decided to kill his parents.
Gary shot his father seven times and
his mother once.
'T feel better now," he said today
tT did my duty. My life has always
been clean and I have wronged no maj
because have always believed in do
ing right and have practiced my be
liefs."
