Pirates Attack Grounded Vessel
MANILA, Nov. 17.—According to a dispatch from Hongkong today, the British gunboat Tarantula off Shamean intercepted a wireless message from the freighter Taito Maru of the Yamashita Kisen Kaisha line, stating that while aground eight miles off Whampoa the vessel had been boarded by pirates and looted.
The Taito Maru was en route from Formosa to Canton with a cargo of coal and carried no passengers.
The Suzuki Company, agents of the Line, have dispatched the Shinyo Maru to the assistance of the vessel. The Japanese consul applied to the Canton authorities for a gunboat to go to the Taito Maru's assistance and the latter replied none was available.

Turn Topsy-Turvy Desks of Drs. Schmeltzer And Geissinger
The study rooms of Dr. H. G. Schmeltzer of the Zion Lutheran church and Dr. J. A. Geissinger of the White Temple were brigaded last night, according to reports to local police. Nothing of value was taken at either place, it is said.
The study of Rev. Schmeltzer was entered by means of a skeleton key from the choir room, and the lock on the door of Dr. Geissinger's study was pried loose. All the drawers in both studies were ransacked and everything turned upside down. At Dr. Schmeltzer's study the thief took some small change but nothing else, leaving books and tracts undisturbed. They left behind them a woolen cloth saturated with some kind of oil which the police are puzzled over. They are also said to have been extravagant with matches, and quite careless, also.
They are that to have been looking for money, and having found only a small amount departed without anything else of value. It is possible that they were frightened away, it is said.
ARREST PORTANA IN STRAWSTACK
BEMIDJI, Minn., Nov. 17.—Portano, sought here and, according to Sheriff J. R. Johnson, who captured him, was eager to plead guilty to the murders.
Manhunters who scoured the woods for Portano after the murder of a rival suitor, the father and mother of the girl Portano loved, and a marshal who came to arrest him, were frustrated by the sheriff in their intent to lynch the captive.
Portano was brot to jail by Sheriff Johnson, who aided by Dan Rose, a timber cruiser, made the capture near Kellihar, Minn.
The fugitive was hiding in a straw stack and surrendered peaceably, altho he was armed.
The sheriff had been aware of Portano's hiding place for several hours but had learned that a posse aiding in the hunt for the man had decided to lynch him. Before making the arrest, he went the route off on a false trail and boarded by pirates and looted.
The Taito Maru was enroute from Formosa to Canton with a cargo of coal and carried no passengers.
The Sazuk Company, agents of the line, have dispatched the Shinyo Maru to the assistance of the vessel. The Japanese consul applied to the Canton authorities for a gunboat to go to the Taito Maru's assistance and the latter replied none was available.
WINDSHIELDS BROKEN BY STUDENTS
Auto windshields were smashed and pedestrians and trolley cars pelted last night with hard green oranges and soft red tomatoes in Santa Ana by youths whom the Santa Ana police declare were students at high schools of the county. The attack was part of a celebration in connection with the Orange-Anaheim football game in Santa Ana, according to the police.
The oranges were taken with the Nissen ranch on North Main street.
Complaints came into Santa Ana police headquarters from residents at various points along North Main, the vicinity of the High school, Ross and Walnut streets.
Sheriff Sam Jernigan's office also received complaints from irate Santa Anans.
The police appear to have "looked the other way" and no arrests were made or complaints filed.

GOV. WALTON PULLS OUT OF COURT
BY ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
(I. N. S. Staff Correspondent)
SENATE CHAMBER, OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov., 17.—In a dramatic address to the impeachment court this morning, Governor J. C. Walton announced that he would withdraw with his attorneys from the trial.
Walton, after a brief talk, arose and accompanied by Mrs. Walton and his attorneys, marched out of the court room.
The state announced it would continue the trial. Walton's removal from office was considered certain as he will offer no defense.
"I have been sitting here for ten days watching my trial," Walton declared, in a voice filled with emotion.
"I don't want to criticize any member of the court. No doubt there are some members who desire to give me a fair trial."
"But it is plan to see that I can't get a just hearing in this court."
Therefore, I am withdrawing with my attorneys from this court room. You may proceed as you will.
Nothing I can offer will change the situation. I do not care to subject myself to humiliation—nor do I care to subject my family to this humiliation."
A near riot occurred in the court room after Walton left.

YALE BOWL, NEW HAVEN,
Conn., Nov. 17.—Yale football came into the greatest moment of its modern existence this afternoon when an inspired Bulldog team crashed its way to a 27- to 0 decision over Princeton to the roars of gratification from a crowd of 80,000 persons.
There was not a moment's doubt of Yale's all too obvious superiority from the first two moments of play. A forward pass, Neale to Richeson, was good for 37 yards and placed Yale in a position for its first score. The tailles came thick and fast in the immediate wake, of this first touchdown, Memphis Bill Mallory kicking two field goals from the 21 and 22-yard lines respectively and Neildinger, a sub-whiteling his way for two more touchdowns before the final whistle, ended Princeton's misery.
It was the third time since 1915 that a Yale crowd snake-danced to a Princeton defeat, the other occasions being 1916 and 1921.

AN OPEN LETTER TO
PEOPLE OF ANAHEIM
By ROMAINE BERGER
Dear Fellow Citizens.
"Anaheim has always enjoyed a reputation of being a city of cultural advancement. Moreover, Anaheim has won the unique distinction of being the only smaller city in Southern California to enjoy concerts from such nationally-famed artists and organizations as Matzenauer and the Philharmonic Orchestra.
"The appearance of these artists is made possible primarily by one hundred public-spirited business men and residents of Anaheim, guaranteeing the financial success of these enterprises to the extent of agreeing to dig down in their pockets dollar for dollar should a deficit arise. But because of the cultural enlightenment and whole-hearted support of the people of Anaheim, we are proud to say that no deficit has ever arisen. Concerts here have been supremely successful where they have been dismal failures in cities of even larger population.
"And because of these foregoing facts, we are at a loss to understand why it is that at the present time the communities and cities outside of Anaheim are buying more tickets to the coming appearance of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra than the people of Anaheim themselves."

But because of the cultural enlightenment and whole-hearted support of the people of Anaheim, we are proud to say that no deficit has ever arisen. Concerts here have been supremely successful where they have been dismal failures in cities of even larger population.
"And because of these foregoing facts, we are at a loss to understand why it is that at the present time the communities and cities outside of Anaheim are buying more tickets to the coming appearance of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra than the people of Anaheim themselves.
"We cannot help but believe that the music-lovers and residents of Anaheim do not fully realize what a wonderful organization of musicians the Philharmonic Orchestra is, and how much it means to Anaheim that it shall receive whole-hearted support.
"One hundred musicians compose the Philharmonic Orchestra, ninety of them on regular contracts. It numbers among its members much of the best talent of Europe and America, performers who are acknowledged the greatest on their instruments. Critics who are able to judge attest that in every particular that makes an orchestra great, the Philharmonic is the peer of any American orchestra.
"We have set the price unusually low, $1.50, to make it possible for everyone to attend. We, therefore, earnestly urge everyone man, every woman and every child in Anaheim to attend, not only for their own enjoyment, but for the support of Anaheim's cultural advancement as well.
To quote from Rupert Hughes: "Opportunity brings you sponsibility, and it is a civic as well as a personal duty to every citizen to collaborate in these concerts. The reward is a glimpse of delights unknown, an increasing enlargement of one's life and one's soul."
WARNED TO DISPOSE OF EXTRA WIFE
Lorenzo Flores, Mexican, given preliminary hearing this morning before Judge French on the charge of non-support, was dismissed. Flores is said to have two wives, only one of them legal. The legal wife encharged he was not supporting her as befitting her station. But when she began her testimony she was asked if he had provided her with food and clothing. She replied that he had. That was the only complaint against him, so the judge dismissed the case.
He was warned thru the inter-terror that this is not Salt Lake City, and that he would have to dispose of his superfluous wife, which he agreed to do.

Kentucky Entry Easily Leads Most of Race to Whipping Finish
CHURCHILL DOWNS, LOUIS-VILLE, Ky., Nov. 17—Zev defaced In Memoriam in their $25,000 match race this afternoon by a nose and reclaimed his crown as king of the 3-year-olds of 1923.
The Sinclair colt. Instead of taking the lead in the early part of the race, as he usually has done, was taken in behind In Memoriam for the first mile of the long journey. In Memoriam, running easily, looked to have the race won as they came into the stretch, but Zev finished fast, overcoming a two length lead and got his nose in front. Garner, on In Memoriam, made a whipping finish and looked like a dead heat. The judges gave the verdict to Zev.
The time was 2:06-3-5.
That the track was plenty fast enough for the battle of champions was shown when Wise Councilor ran a mile in 1:37:2-5 to win the Kentucky Jockey club stakes for 2-year-olds.
Sinclair's Mad Play was second. Chilhowee finished third. Happy Thoughts, the crack eastern filly, was outrun all the way.
This race and the big match event were both delayed when Bud Fisher's colt, Mr. Mutt, ran away four miles.
