RAFT REFUSES ANY
MORE GANG ROLES
SCOrnS BoOtIegger Role;
Suspended by Studio.

By United Press
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 18.-George
Raft was suspended by his studio
Friday because he refused to play
any more moving picture gangster
roles.
Raft told Paramount officials he
considered the title role of 1.-THE
Story of Temple Drake" was I'M
suited to him.
Although Marlene Dietrich and
Stuart Erwin succeeded in delaying
production when they resisted as
signments of pictures, Raft was sue
cessful only in having himself
placed off the pay roll.
Emanuel Cohen, production chief
shrugged his shoulders, and put
Jack La Rue, young New York stage
actor, in Rats part opposite Wynne
Gibson.
Raft issued a statement later con-
tending the part was "a menace to
his future career" and might prove
unpopular with his fans.
The Story of Temple Drake,
adapted from William Faulkner
novel, Sanctuary" called for Raft
to play a bootlegger who shoots to
kill.
In his last picture, Raft was a
Speakeasy proprietor and before
that he was a wise taxi driver.

CPECIAL AGENT IA. of the
- United States bureau of in
vestigation. was in a disconsolate
mood as he watched the tropic
liner, Western World, warp into
her Hudson river pier in April,
1923.
His assignment was one of the
most difficult he had received in
years. This was a case of murder
on the high seas, often impossible
to solve, because of the clannish-
ness of sailors.
They had their own customs,
their own laws. The whole crew
was guilty until proved innocent.
The cable from Rio de Janeiro
told little.
Bernard Suarez, 20, killed
aboard liner Western World two
days out of Rio" the cable said.
Grew refuses to talk"
He went aboard the ship as soon
as she locked, identifying himself
tc the customs men and imme-
diately disappearing among the
crew.
Below decks he waited until the
rush Of unloading had abated,
listening to the crews gossip in
several languages-J-4 was a lin
guist-and trying to pick up some
information that might be of
value.
He was satisfied during those
first hours in the liners hold, that
his identity remained unknown.
Life is ordinarily as safe aboard
ship as on Broadway, but the fact
remained that one murder had
been committed there. Another
was not impossible. The crew lived
in world apart from the pas
sengers.

SENATE BACKS

UTILITY FIGHT
House Expected to IndorSe
Move to Shift Taxes
From Decatur.

Renewed effort to secure favor
! able house action on the bill which
is expected to place the $1,000 600
indianapolis Power and Light Com
pany power plant in Perry township
will begin Monday.
Senator E. Curtis White Dem,
/ Indianapolis), resident Of Decatur
/ township. which now taxes the
plant, Friday failed to halt passage
of a similar bill in the senate.
It passed, % to Is, with White
paired against Senator John Bright
Webb Dem. Indianapolis), a Perry
/ township resident. Both refrained
from voting, after speaking pro and
con on the measure, depending on
their place of residence.
Other Marion county senators
supported passage and Senators
Mahoney, Smith and Weiss all
joined in the debate on Webb's side.
Would Increase Tax
Burden of their argument was
that the power and light company
now profits from the lower tax rate
in Decatur township and if its plant
is transferred to Perry township it
would cost the company between
$4,000 and $4,000 more annually
in tax payments.
White pointed out that to add the
plant valuation to the Perry town.
ship assessment would bring down
the township rate and the company
would not pay more.
THE county board of review and
\ the state tax commission set the
plant assessment" White explained.
Switching it from one township TO
another will not change that. The
land on which this plant stands has
/ been taxed III Decatur township for
fifty years. The entire matter now
is in the courts and should be set
tied there"
Politics Is Bar, Says Smith
Senator Leo z. Smith Dem., IN
dianapolis), contended that the
matter can not be settled properly
in the courts due to politics."
Smith is lawyer.
He charged that it is not Perry
Decatur township fight, but 1.-THE
power and light company against
Perry township
Senator Jacob Weiss Oem.. In
dianapolis), also supported this view
/ and related the various valuations
given the new plant by the COM
pany depending on the purpose for
which the valuation was to be used.
I'm selling stock to promote the
plant the company valued it at
$8,000,000," Weiss declared. Then
for rate making with the public
service commission the firm boosted
this to $12,0000OO, while the COM
pany appealed from a $5,0O0,0OO tax
value of the Marion county board
of review and got it lowered to ST.
10000 by the state tax board.
Effort to defeat this bill is Just
an indianapolis Power and Light
Company steal"
The bill provides for a survey and
not direct transfer.

for sailing.
The afternoon merged into eve
ming, and still the two silent men
sat facing each other. Noises grad
ually ceased, and the silence was
louder than the noises had been
The slap-slap of the waves became
nerve-wracking, even to ia.
THE ship was moving restless
Il ly with the rising tide at
dusk when Sam the sailor spoke
for the first time.
II don't know anything" he
snarled.
IA smiled. He stared into the
sailors face, watching for signs of
his breaking will. But Sam was
more determined than ia had ex-
pected.
He leaned back, made himself
comfortable and returned the
agents stare insolently, easily.
The cabin grew hot, but neither
man would admit he was uncom-
Portable. Each grew thirsty, but
neither would admit it. The air
grew stale, but ia and the sailor
continued their duel.
Eight bells struck, and Sam
moved measily. Then he coughed,
and glanced calculatingly toward
the door. IA produced a revolver,
and the sailor subsidized. Neither
dared to sleep.
1t was hours later when the
sailor broke. All noise had ceased
except the sound Of their breath
irg and the break Of timbers.
ct DON'T know nothing!" he
l. shouted suddenly, leaping to
his feet. Kill rae if you want to,
but I don't know nOthing!"
After his outburst he was silent
again, but he was turned toward
the door, as if suspecting other
members of the crew were caves
dropping. He clutched at his
collar, tried to swallow.
IA smiled coolly and muir
INJURED: so they call you Silent
Sam? Why, sailor, that's my
name!"
Sam glared at the agent with
bloodshot eyes and then shrugged
his shoulders.
"You win" he whispered "Take
me ashore and get me something
to eat and I'll talk. I don't dare
speak here"
In a coffee pot the story came
quickly. Sam, boilerman now,
once had gone to college and
wasn't too we'll liked by the rest
of the crew. Life is cheap some
times at sea and he was afraid
friends of the murderer would kill
him.

said. 81 was alone in the fire

to the cabinet is said to be
as follows:
Secretary Of State-Senator Cor
dell Hull of Tennessee, unless shifts
resulting from other refusals neces-
states his transfer to the treasury.
Secretary Treasury-Senator Car
ter Glass Of Virginia is inclined to
refuse. He prefers the senate, and
has not been convinced that he can
not be of more service there than in
an executive department. But Mr..
Roosevelt still is hopeful Of persuad-
ing the distinguished Virginian to
enter his official family.
Attorney General Senator
Thomas J. Walsh of Montana,
though reluctant to quit the SEN
atorial field, is understood to have
consented to take charge Of the de-
partment of justice.
Farley Is Sure Bet
Postmaster General 49, National
Chairman James A. Farley a sure
bet.
Labor Secretary-Miss Frances
Perkins. industrial commissioner of
New York and Roosevelt adviser, the
most likely candidate, despite pro-
tests Of the American Federation Of
Labor and her willingness to be left
out in order to relieve Mr.. Roosevelt
of embarrassment.
Interior Secretary-S Senator Bron-
son Cutting rep, N M still I'M
willing to quit the progressive bloc
in the senate, but Mr.. Roosevelt
hopeful he can persuade the wealthy
progressive to join fortunes with the
new deal" If Cutting refuses, some
young western progressive, with ex-
Governor La Toilette of Wisconsin
frequently mentioned, is a poSsibil-
ity.
Commerce William H.
Woodin of New York, Jesse I.
Strauss OF New York and Henry I.
Hartman of Boston, president of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, are under conSidera-
tion. Hartman believed to have
good chance because appointment of
either Woodin or Strauss, with Far
ley and Miss Perkins, would make
the cabinet topheavy with New
Workers.
Trouble on Three Posts
The posts giving Mr.. Roosevelt
most trouble are said to be war,
navy and agriculture, especially the
bst.
Henry A. Wallace, Des MoineS
editor, has been thought to be in
the lead for the farm job, with
Frank Murphy of Minneapolis and
Henry Morgenthau Jr. of New York
also mentioned. Morgenthau, how
ever, is believed to be sure for as
sistant secretary of agriculture.
Wallace'S chances are thought to
have decreased because of his re-
cent declaration in favor of con
trolled initiation" through cutting
the gold content Of the dollar and
reconciliation of silver. In confer
ences with other prospective cab
met members, the President-elect is
said to have given assurance that
he will not stand for any tampering
with the currency.
AS this setup indicates that two
southernerS, three westerners and
three New Workers may be in the
cabinet. it generally is thought the
war and navy posts will be allocated
to New England, the southern At
lantic seaboard-posSibly Georgia
or the coast.
