OBSCENITY CULT RITES ARE BARED

By United Pres* LOS ANGELES. Oct. 7.—The “Seven Tones of Gabriel's Trumpet" never sounded to summon Willa Rhoads back to life from the obscene tomb where four years her corpse lay alongside those of seven puppies. ’ Authorities sought today to discover whether the 16-year-old girl, novitiate in a mystic order whose tenets included belief in physical immortality gained by use of weird animal sacrifices, was a martyr to some bizarre rite of the cult. She was consigned to her loathsome grave after her body had been preserved with ice and spices for months in the belief she would be resurrected. The body of Miss Rhoads, who died on New Year’s eve, 1925, was taken from a metal casket beneath the floor of her step-parents’ home Sunday. In another casket were the bodies of seven puppies, which in the symbolism of the cult, represented the seven tones of Gabriel’s trumpet and would proclaim the morn of her resurrection. The step-parents, who adopted the girl in Portland. Ore., when she she was 2 years old, said she died of an ulcerated tooth, but. admitted that no doctor had been called. The two, Mr. and Mrs. William Rhoads, were held as material witnesses. They said that Mrs. May Otis Blackburn, one of the leaders of the cult, had done all she could for the girl. Mrs. Blackburn, who with her daughter, Ruth Wieland. is held in jail in lieu of SIO,OOO bond as a result of financial charges brought by a male member of the organization, denied that she had promised resurrection. Investigation of the cult was started when Clifford R. Dabney

AT 3 a. m. the sextet walked in and fired a salvo into the floor. “It’s us,” announced the leader. Fiddles shrugged and opened the cash register. The guests raised their hands and lined up against the wall. The orchestra sat mute. “This ain’t a funeral,” admonished one of the robbers. “Play us a nice piece, like 'Lover Come Back to Me.’ ” With that the party was on A Gary policeman, spotted in the crowd, was haled on to the dance floor. The barons pocketed his gun and trampled on his star. “Everything’s on the house,” the bandits shouted repeatedly, dealing out Bill Fiddles’ choicest wares. Along toward morning the barons tired of the party. They sped away in two taxicabs. Revelers raced for their automobiles. But the barons had wrecked the ignition system on every car. So those who went merrymaking at the Palm Gardens walked home.

ROOT, GROVE TO TWIRL IN SERjES FIRST Stage Is Set for Classic Event Between Cubs and Athletics. # BETTORS FAVOR MACKS Weather Forecast In Windy City Is Favorable; Rivals Ready. BY FRANK GETTY United Pre&s Sports Editor CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—The eve of another world series, post-season feature of baseball, finds the contenders evenly matched and both clubs ready for the brief but bitter struggle. To an impartial observer it appears that the Chicago Cubs have and excellent chance of wiping out memories of successive four-game victories for the American League and of defeating the Philadelphia Athletics this year. It is true the betting odds favor the American League champions but in baseball wagering by no means is indicative of eventual victory. Both clubs have enjoyed the best of luck as far as personnel Is concerned. The Athletics have come through a highly successful season with all their regulars and replacements intact. * The Cubs lost their captain and first baseman, Charley Grimm, for about six weeks, but he is back, as good as ever. Cubs Have Big Edge Joe McCarthy manager of the National League champions, announced this morning that Charley Root would be his starting pitcher. Connie Mack, whose Athletics were due here at noon, said he would not tell who would start until Tuesday, but it is no secret that it will be “Lefty” Grove. McCarthy told the United Press today that his starting pitcher will be Root, 30-year-old right-hander who led the National league pitchers i this season with nineteen games won and six lost. For the second game Wednesday, the Cubs’ manager has chosen Perce (Pat) Malone, who is the Cubs’ second best right hander. The As will bank on Grove’s blinding speed despite the fact that the Cubs have a reputation for effectiveness against southpaws. The club which wins the first game in a world series enjoys a tremendous advantage, both psychological and mathematical. In the forthcoming series everything favors the Cubs. They are opening at home, on a field which will be strange to their rivals, and they have in their lineup a number of money players who are ready to put in their best licks. No series in recent years has aroused the strenuous enthusiasm which will be on tap this week, and possibly next. Arrangements Thorough Local enthusiasm over the series has reached a peak. The weather forecast for the series is favorable, which is just as well, since postponements would interfere seriously with arrangements. Two games will be played in Chicago, on Tuesday and Wednesday, after which the clubs will journey to Shibe Park, Philadelphia. Three veteran umpires and one comparative newcomer will officiate during the series. Bill Klem and Bill Dineen have been calling ’em for more than twenty years. Charley Moran, another of the National League’s nominees, has been wielding an indicator for a dozen seasons. Roy Van Graflan, who will be the fourth arbiter in the coming series, has been up in fast company only a couple of years, but is recognized as one of the best. Incidentally, he is a protege of Klem.

GIRD LOINS FOR PEACE IS SENATE PLEA OF PREMIER

Here is one of the most remarkable portrait studies ever made of Ramsay MacDonald, the Scots stable boy who rose to become twice prime minister of Great Britain. This picture, taken by a cameraman for The Times and NEA Service during the British leader’s visit to the United States, strikingly reveals the strong, well-molded face of the premier with his shock of unruly gray hair, dark unflinching eyes and shaggy moustache. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—An appeal for the United States and England to “gird our loins for peace” was made in the senate today by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald at the climax of a series of momentous events looking toward Anglo-American co-operation for world peace. The prime minister previously had greeted the house with the observation that his presence in American legislative halls made him feel again “how close akin we are.” V The prime minister’s appearance in congress was preceded by two significant developments: First, the issuance of invitation to a fivepower conference at London while President Hoover and MacDonald were holding conversations on a log at the Rapidan camp Sunday; second, thf following joint statement:

“We frankly have reviewed all the questions which might give rise to friction between our peoples with gratifying progress.” Secretary of State Stimson said today the expectations of results from the conference between the President and prime minister had been realized abundantly. Great Britain’s issuance of invitations to the five-power conference while the two men were in camp was coincidental largely, he said. He did not know of any major difficulties which had remained to be considered prior to the camping trip' and believed the decision to send out invitations did not depend upon the trend of conversation between Mr. Hoover and Mr. MacDonald. Neither war debts nor tariffs were discussed, Stimson said. MacDonald spoke to the senate in a very friendly way, at one time lapsing into the familiar address, “my friends.” He stuck his thumb in his vest and his tone was pleasing. He did not read his speech but occasionally glanced at notes which he placed upon the table of the Vice-Presi-dent, who stepped down from his rostrum to let MacDonald speak there. The dominatin gtheme of his address was that the signing of the Kellogg peace pact in Paris had brought anew understanding among the nations. “I can not say, senators, that these walls are unfamilier to me,” he started out. “I have been here before, but when I sat then in one of those galleries, little did I think that destiny was to bring me one

The procession paused for two minutes before the open window of Stresemann's room in the foreign office where he had worked night and day on that program of peace and conciliation which gave Germany again her place in the family of nations. During the ceremonies in the Reichstag, the three figures who stood out dramatically and impressively were President Von Hindenburg; the widow, Frau Kaethe Stresemann, shrouded in black and Chancellor Hermann Mueller. Standing beside the catafalque on which the flag-draped coffin lay amidst black draperies and a vast bed of flowers, Chance’lor Mueller paid a last and simple tribute to the dead statesman. “A good man and a good fighter, who worked himself to death for his country,” said the chancellor in his f '.rewell address from the rostrum.

MRS. CASSLER RELEASED IN MURDER CASE State Admits Inability to Fasten Swamp Killing Upon Woman. VICTIM WAS LOVE RIVAL Second Time in Shadow of Scaffold; Evidence Circumstantial. Bu United Press VALPARAISO. Oct. 7.—Another chapter in the eventful life of Mrs. Catherine Basseler was closed today with dismissal of murder charges brought against her in connection with the death of Miss Cameoi Soutar, Chicago roller skater. A motion to nolle prosse the charges was filed last week and sustained in Porter circuit court here today. The state admitted it could not prove where Miss Soutar was murdered and that its case against Mrs. Cassler was weak. Facing trial for murder was not a new experience in the defendant’s life. Late in 1928 she was tried and found guilty along with another woman and a man for the murder in Chicago of William Tinely. The other two pleaded guilty and were given life sentences. Mrs. Cassler refused to make a guilty plea, was convicted and sentenced to hang. While in the death cell, awaiting execution, her husband brought Miss Soutar to see her and intimated that they were living together and intended to get married. Through efforts of her aged mother, Mrs. Cassler was granted a rehearing, but when the trial started the state lacked evidence. The other woman in the case had died in prison and the man refused to testify. Then the Illinois supreme court freed Mrs. Cassler and she went back to try to separate her husband and his paramour. Deaths Follow Joy Rides On a Sunday night there was a joy ride in which Cassler and the girl participated. After the man left her at her apartment, she was not seen again until two youths found her body on the edge of a swamp near Hebron, Ind. She had been dead for several days. Well known national detective firms and Chicago police began an attempt to unravel the mystery. In substance, their findings were: Mrs. Cassler had hated Miss Soutar. She told her husband the day after the Sunday night ride, “Your sweet patootie has gone away. She won’t bother any more.” Miss Soutar was killed by a bullet from a revolver of a .32 caliber—the same size as one owned by Mrs. Cassler. Another coincidence was that Miss Soutar’s shoes were missing, and police remembered that the chief clew in solving the other murder for which Mrs. Cassler was held was the fact that the soles of the man’s shoes were dry when the pavement was wet. Son Released All of the evidence against Mrs. Cassler and her son Edward, who also was accused of complicity in the murder, was circumstantial. He too was discharged today. Further investigation revealed evidence that virtually offset that already gathered. Detectives proved it almost impossible for Mrs. Cassler and her son to have murdered Miss Soutar in Chicago and taken her body to Hebron, because witnesses testified that the accused wife was back in Chicago before 10 Wednesday night and she could not have left before noon Tuesday. No traces of blood were found in Mrs. Cassler’s automobile nor in her flat. No shot was heard by neighbors. Whether the roller skater was lured to the swamp and then killed was a matter of conjecture today. Mrs. Cassler’s connection with courts started when she was a girl, and just married. She had moved to Hebron with her husband and son. Alleged bootlegging activities aroused the W. C T. U. and for several months she fought charges of liquor law violation.

Bu United Press GROVE CITY, 0., Oct. 7.—Three coaches of a Baltimore & Ohio passenger train were derailed when the train struck an automobile at a grade crossing near here today.
