YANKEES WIN A Postpone Elks Championship EBELL HELPS IN SALE OF TICKETS World's Greatest Musicians Will Appear in Anaheim Within Few Weeks Farming Depression Loses Party Lines WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. — The agricultural depression now sweeping the west has practically wiped out party lines, Senator Wm. E. Borah, Republican of Idaho, told International News Service today. He predicted the west would throw its support in the next presidential election to the man "who can relieve present conditions." Borah, who conferred with President Coolidge last night at the White House, declared that he found the west "entirely friendly to the President," and was willing to give him a chance to win the next Republican nomination. Borah said he also found strong sentiment for Henry Ford and Wm. G. McAdoo. ANAHEIM ARRIVE FINE SH Many Southland Support Locals Title F By COLONEL P. (Manager Anaheim Team) World's Greatest Musicians Will Appear in Anaheim Within Few Weeks Three great artists of international reputation and one of the greatest orchestras in America are scheduled to appear in Anaheim this season, according to the announcement of the Inter-club Musical Association of Anaheim. This great series of concerts will be opened Oct. 10th by Madame Margaret Maitenauer, prima donna contralto, of the Metropolitan Opera Co. Madame Maitenauer is an extremely popular artist in So. Cal., due to her appearance as soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra, and her highly successful concert appearances in Los Angeles. The association is to be congratulated upon securing an artist of such recognized standing for their opening event. Following Madame Maitenauer will be the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, with either Sylvian Noack, violinist, or Ella Bronson, cellist, as soloist. Former appearances of this great organization have established their popularity with the music lovers of Orange-co. Their return engagement this season will be looked forward to with a great deal of pleasurable anticipation. The third event of the series will be Reinald Wertenrath, America's foremost concert baritone. Or, as one critic aptly put it, "An American institution, and a great one." Wertenrath's art is sane, wholesome and healthy. There is a virility about all that he does which strikes a responding chord in the hearts of his hearers. To be tender without ever lapsing into mawkish sentimentality, to be humorous without ever clowning, always to uphold the dignity of the most beautiful of the arts, in these qualities Reinald Warrenrath has few peers among the singers of our time. Closing the series comes Olga Samaroff, recognized as one of the world's great masters of the keyboard, who won her right to undisputed place in the front rank by the accomplishment last season of the unique and monumental musical task of playing the entire series of 52 sonatas by Beethoven, which had not been attempted in the United States since 1876, when Hans van Buelow presented the cycle. Madam Samaroff had 12 appearances last season with the principal symphony orchestras in the east and is in great demand in concert work, as well as soloist with the orchestra. PLANS FILED FOR K.OF P.

SEEK MURDER STORY FROM 2-YEAR OLD LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20.—An ornate jumping jack was today added to the scientific crime detection apparatus of the police homicide squad, when three great burly detectives dangled geegaws before the eyes of two-year-old Emily Cass, counted the little pigs that went to market and tried to elicit from her baby lips the story of the possible murder of the mother, Mrs. Ethel Cass, beautiful cabaret entertainer, formerly of Buffalo, N. Y., found dead and covered with blood in her apartment in N. Toluca street. The child was with her mother at the time of the slaying, and for ten hours after until the crime was discovered. Police meanwhile were on the trail of a man declared to have been with Mrs. Cass late Tuesday night. Four persons were to be questioned immediately in connection with Mrs. Cass's murder, it was learned this afternoon.

WALNUT PKG. HOUSE OPENS NEXT WEEK The packing house of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Ass'n will not be in operation until next week, contrary to expectation, altho nuts are being taken in, ready for cleaning and packing. Four hundred sacks had been received up to today, according to Secretary-Manager Walter Ross. The association prefers to have a large supply on hand, so that when operations are begun they will not be interrupted. Many growers who were most eager for an early start now have called off their pickers, after discovering that the nuts can wait for another week. Ross advises growers not to pull the nuts from the tree in an effort to rush the season. Nuts lying on the ground with the outer shell still upon them are inclined to mold. Oct. 4 is the tentative date set for the meeting of the directors of the California Walnut Growers' Ass'n. The directors consist of the managers with blood in her apartment in N. Toluca street. The child was with her mother at the time of the slaying, and for ten hours after until the crime was discovered. Police meanwhile were on the trail of a man declared to have been with Mrs. Cass late Tuesday night. Four persons were to be questioned immediately in connection with Mrs. Cass' murder, it was learned this afternoon. They are Harry Paulson, known to have been frindly with her; "Tug" Smith, to whom Mrs. Cass is said to have been engaged at one time; James Cass, her divorced husband, now in El Centro, and Police Officer Brennan, whose connection in the case is that he arrested her several weeks ago and that Mrs. Cass told frinds she had gained the policeman's enmity. That robbery may have been the motive for Mrs. Cass' death was believed established this afternoon when it was learned from a young woman known only as "Mercedes," cigaret girl at The Cave, a South Spring Street cafe, where Mrs. Cass entertained, that in view of Mrs. Cass' contemplated trip east Monday she carried $1,000 in her bodice. Despite a careful search of the apartment where the woman was slain, the money could not be found. Further mystery was added to the cast today when the cause of death still remained unknown after an autopsy on the body. Examination of the woman's body failed to disclose the exact cause of death, tho surgeons stated she probably bled to death from a wound. Mrs. Cass was known in the entertainment world as Ethel Williams, and the police learned today she had planned to leave Monday for Chicago to marry a man whose name could not be learned. This impending marriage, the police said, might have caused a jealousy motive for the slaying. Mrs. Cass' statement to friends a few days ago that she had a "thousand enemies and not a single friend," plus her wide acquaintance among the cafe habitues, caused the police today to investigate her acquaintances among frequenters of gay night life resorts in Los Angeles and the nearby beaches. An autopsy examination is depend upon to ascertain the exact cause of death.
