THOMPSON NOW
UNDER ARREST;
HELD IN JAIL
Bookkeeper Charged with
Embezzlement Caught
at Lena Cove This Am.

Walter Thompson. m / g
bookkeeper for the Snow White
Laundry for whose arrest en- a
charge of embezzlement was is
sued Monday, was apprehended
early this morning in cabin at
Lena Cove. He was arrested by
Deputy U. S. Marshal Walter
Sibley. accompanied by Phil Jolie,
and brought TO the local Federal
Jail pending hearing.
Thompson has been sought
since Monday. Working on the
theory that he would try to get
away by small boat, probably
from Tee Harder, officers have
been watching Glacier Highway
all week. He was first seen by
them late Wednesday afternoon,
but made a getaway. They fol-
lowed his tracks through the
snow to the Tee Harbor cabin
where he was picked up.
Following up report that the
man might be in a cabin at AUX
Lake, Deputy Sibley and Jolie,
accompanied by w. G. Hellan,
who owns a place at that point,
went to the lake yesterday after
neon. They saw Thompson run
from the house into the woods.
Not having located him by dark
they returned to town. Early
this morning Sibley and Jolie
left in an automobile to renew
the search. They tracked him
into a woodshed owned by U. S.
Attorney H. d. Stabler and from
there to Lena Cove.
Thompson was questioned by
Marshal Albert White today. He
said he had spent Sunday night
and Monday night in the Hellan
cabin. He came TO town Tuesday
night but returned at once to the
cabin. He saw car drive up
in front of the house yesterday
and got away into the woods.
He returned to it after dark, got
his shoes and walked on to Lena
Cove, resting at Mr.. Stabler's
place.
Thompson was still in Jail this
afternoon. 1t was expected he
would be arraigned before Judge
F. A. Boyle today or tomorrow
morning and bail fixed.

now closed reopen production will pro.
coed at levels close to those of May and
June. With July the lowest month this
year in production, possibility is seen
that output for this period will be
greater than the corresponding month
of any previous year.
This is attributed to the unusual
sales levels maintained, despite the fact
that more marked declines are apparent
in this weeks survey Of the sales CEN
tiers. The demand for new automobiles
in all sections of the country continues
to exceed the seasonal demand of other
wears, and until the recent recession
made it's appearance the peak had con-
tinued for more prolonged period than
ever before in the industry's history.
The anticipated sharp decline following
the new sales records during Spring
took the form of mild recession. New
low-priced car stocks are at minimum,
and in many sections purchasers have
to wait for delivery of certain body
types.
With a steadier volume of sales dur
ing the current week, truck production
reveals slight gains and appears to
have reached levels which should be
for some time. The vary
ing trends which have characterized
sales may again slightly unsettle the

MANY TO TAKE CARS
ABROAD THIS YEAR
American Automobile Association
Finds Public II Discovering Mo-
toring Delights Of Europe.

The number Of American motorists
taking their cars abroad in 1929 will
far exceed all past records, and the
number handled by the foreign travel
division of the American Automobile
Association during the first six months
Of the year was in excess OF the total
for 1928.
At the same time the A. A. A. foreign
travel division pointed out that there
is no let up in the foreign exodus, and
all indications point to the travel con-
tinuing at o heavy rate well into
October.
"One Of the reasons" says the ma
tional motoring body, els the decided
advantage of travelling at the time Of
the year regarded by steamship COM
panies as an "off season." AS result
most of the transoceanic lines offer q
10 per cent reduction on round trip
rates on cabin class steamers and sec
ond class accommodations. Usually
this is from August Is to May IS. east
bound, and from October Is to July IS,
westbound. Moreover, desired accom-
modations are more easily secured.
Another of the principal factors con-
tributing to the late Summer and early
Fall travel abroad, however. is the fact
that the weather Is ideal for motoring
throughout the British Isles, France,
Germany, Holland, Belgium. Switzer-
land, Italy and Austria Hungary. while
September and early october are very
pleasant in Norway, Sweden, Denmark
and Finland. Car owners contemplat-
ing a trip abroad will be especially
pleased with the many conditions max
ing for an ideal trip at this season.
The A. A. A. foreign travel division
says that the less crowded travel con-
ditions during the so-called "off sea
son" make 1t desirable to ship the car.
Rates. averaging from $225 for small
cars to $40 for those Of the larger type,
are made by most transatlantic lines.
and automobiles are handled uncrated
as baggage.
