Spa Veterans Tell
of Rothstein's Cache,
Man-Eating Horse

IT ALES that are told whel gray
: haired men gather on the We
randas while the stars stand their
watch at Saratoga.
There are the whispers about the
fortune Arnold Rothstein, the sure
thing gambler, may have hidden
some place before he suddenly de-
parted from this earth. Most of
the veterans here knew him--some
OF them only too well and too sad
ly-and they doubt whether his. es-
tate could possibly have been as
small as the records show.
It is not that they suspect any
living person but they knew Arnold
as he was, q closc-mouthed fellow
who early learned that you seldom
can go broke when you have aces
wired. So they sit and wonder
where those aces-thc reserve fund,
the stake for another day-can be.
Some of them will whisper that
there must be close to $500, 900
worth of cash or easily negotiable
securities awaiting in some safe de-
post vault for an owner who never
will return. They--those veterans
who knew Arnold SO well and some
times so sadly-say that would have
been just like him. To rent the box
under some assumed name and
then, trusting no man, to keep the
secret locked forever in his own

Arizona's three electoral votes over

Roosevelt's column today.
The President held a lead of
nearly three to one over Gov. ALT
M. Landon on the basis of United
Press tabulations, an even greater
victory than he scored in 1882
over Herbert Hoover.
In 1854 complete and incomplete

An even more decisive victory
was that of John r. Murdock, D.,

gressional seat He had 41,751 to
10,838 for George l.. Burgess, r.,
closest of his three rivals.

TURKEY PRICES
IN CALIFORNIA
FOLLOW 1885

Turkey prices this year started
at about the same figure as last
season, and indications are that
there will not be much variation in
price from the figures of last year.
This is the opinion of DR.. v. S.
Asmundsen, assistant professor of
poultry husbandry on the Davis
campus of the University of Cali
fornia College of Agriculture, ac-
cording to H. Lee Ianderman, as
sistant farm advisor of Imperial
county.
There may be larger supply of
small birds, DR.. ASmundsen believes,
because there were large numbers
of turkeys Matched late this sea-
son. Also, Thanksgiving turkeys
brought better prices than did
Christmas ones last year, which
probably will bring more turkeys
to the markets in the early season.
High prices of feed also will con-
tribute, he believes, to reluctance
on the part of producers to hold
their birds for later markets.
DR.. Asmundsen urges growers, in
spite of feed prices and last years
market conditions, to see that their
turkeys are properly fitted before
they are offered to consumers.
