POLICE BALKED AT EVERY TURN IN DEATH CASE \ Disappearance of Comely Widow Likely to Be Unsolved Riddle. By United Press LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 30.—The strange disappearance of Mrs. Ella McDowell Rogers, 29-year-old widow, from her fashionable apartment here last Oct. 7, may be listed among Louisville’s unsolved mysteries. •Police admittedly were baffled today as they traced down clew after clew, vainly seeking some tangible motive for the pretty young widow’s disappearance. Philip Haynes, Negro janitor of the Barrington Manor apartments, where Mrs. Rogers lived, still was under afrest on an old charge, but he stoutly denies any connection with the enigma. Mrs. Rogers last was seen by H. K. Harned, a young Dawson Springs (Ky.) banker, who escorted her to her suite on the night she disappeared. Harned left in a taxicab and boarded a train for home. Haynes was suspected when a peculiar gray substance was found clinging to the grates and mixed with ashes in the apartment furnace. Physicians, after examining the residue, said they believed it came from human bones, but this must be determined by City Chemist Vernon Robins, who is returning today from a trip. On the night the young widow dropped out of sight, she returned from an out-of-town trip. Her bags were found later, still unpacked. Police turned their attention to Haynes when it was revealed he had been charged with molesting white girls. The Negro denied the charge, however. Mrs. Rogers was the widow of Hamilton Rogers, a prosperous young newspaper and business man, who was killed in an automobile accident here in 1927. She is described as extremely comely, an attractive dresser, and the possessor of a vividly magnetic personality. FIRE TRUCK CRASHES Six Ladders Smashed; No One Is Injured.

GRAPE BELT OF CALIFORNIA HIT CRUSHING BLOW i Demand for Crop in East Is Far Below Call in Recent Years. BY MAX STERN Times Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30.—A Something has kicked California’s $50,000,000 grape industry with more than a half-of-one-per-cent kick. California’s vice-clad valleys and hills are wont to furnish virtually all of America’s supply of grape juice. Last year 69,000 carloads of table and wine grapes went over the Rockies to fill the increased demand of grape and grape-juice addicts in a spore of eastern cities. This season the total will be only 64,000 carloads. Vineyardists are counting a $10,000,000 loss. Wine or “juice” grapes that last year brought $45 a ton are bringing only $25; table and raisin grapes have suffered a $lO a ton drop. The California Vineyardists’ Association is trying to re-wet American thirst with “grape weeks,” radio advertising, and other means It is urging pulling up of vines of “marginal producers” to cut 190,000 tons from the annual market. Raisins, which take 50 per cent of the state’s grape crop, are “off” this year as a result of over-produc-tion. The slowness with which the usually thirsty east is taking „he 45,000 carloads of wine grapes is the subject of many explanations. Some of these are: Low buying power among the foreign, particularly Latin, folks who crush the family winter supply for “Juice,” due it is said to too much stock speculation. The fashion of making home brew

beer from prepared malt extract. The fact that California’s grape crop was a fortnight earlier and hit the east during the hot weather. The “gin habit” among the younger set. Heretofore prohibition has proved a blessing rather than a curse to California vintagers. The little clause put into the Volstead act by the brethren of the hard-cider belt that permits the crushing of fruic fqy juices “not intoxicating in fact,” has saved millions invested in California vines. It is believed that this year’s hard times will be only a temporary phase, and that grapes will do a come-back next year.
