He had quit his job because he
was tired of sailing and wanted to
get back to New York. No, he had
no sweetheart in Harlem. And
that was that.
The Western World was due to
sail the next day and Agent ia
found himself without any evil
dence. AS he mulled the case
over he thought again and again
of the silent Sam of the crew.
"There's something there!" said
ia. 81 don't trust these silent

But you have my best wishes"
Sam was ushered into a cabin
and ia joined him, locked the
door and sat down.
Neither man spoke. ia did not
tell his companion why he was
there. He just sat and looked at
the silent seaman.

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 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 49, 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 - National
Chairman James A. Farley 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-Senator Bron-
son Cutting rep, N. M still un-
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 J.
Hartman Of Boston, president of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, are under considera-
ton. Hartman believed to have a
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
last.
Henry A. WALLACE. sDes MONIES
editor, has beehstheaglt 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.

HUNTING SCENES FOUND
ON ANCIENT PAVEMENT
Large Mosaic in Syrian Ruins
Shows Animals at Bay.

En- Science Scrrice
PRINCETON, N. j., Feb. 49,
Scenes Of brave hunters facing wild
animals are revealed on a large mo-
sale pavement unearthed at Daphne
in Syria. A report received here
says that the discovery was made
by the committee for the excava-
ton of Antioch and its vicinity, the
headquarters of which are at
Princeton university.
Exact antiquity of the important
mosaic is not determined, but the
spirit Of the drawing has led arch
biologists to assign It to the late third
or fourth century A. d. The expedi-

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 100000
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, 90 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 Webhs 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
$40 900 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 10
another will not change that. The
land on which this plant stands has
been taxed in 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 a lawyer.
He charged that it is not a Perry
Decatur township fight, but the
power and light company against
Perry township"
Senator Jacob Weiss Dem, 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.
In selling stock to promote the
plant the company valued it at
$4,000, 000," Weiss declared. Then
for rate making with the public
service commission the firm boosted
this to S12,OOO,OOO, while the COM
pany appealed from a S5,000O0O 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

louder than the noises had been.
The slap-slap of the waves became

THE ship was moving restless

dusk when Sam the sailor spoke
for the first time.

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-

neither would admit it. The air
grew stale, but IA and the sailor
continued their duel.
Eight bells struck. and Sam
moved uneasily. 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

Il shouted suddenly, leaping to
his feet. kill me if you want to,

GERMS SHIPPED ABROAD
Great Care Taken of Cargo Bound
for Australia.

BIZ Times Special
HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. ia ship
ment of germs from the Rockefel-
Ter institute in New York has left
here aboard the Canadian National
freighter Canadian Constructor
for Australia. The germs belong to
the mening occi family and are used
to fight meningitis.
Owing to the high mortality that
has occurred among the germs dur
ing previous shipments from New
York, special precautions are being
taken with this cargo. The germs,
stored in specially constructed con-
tainers, have been given a cabin to
themselves.
Arrangements have been made to
maintain the temperature of this
cabin at a proper degree through
out the voyage and the germs will
be under the personal care of the
master of the ship who, however,
will not permit any familiarities.

NEW YORK, July 13-Successive
waves of buying swept over today's stock
market and carried prices forward all
along the line. The industrials led in
the morning, the utilities in the early
afternoon and the rails in the last

Liquor stocks and various specialtias
were strong all day. but they did not
play SO large part in the proceedings.

more to the conservative element on
that account. 1t is sufficient to say
that such important stocks as American

staples were strong. In the last hour
silver futures were up from $50 to 189

NEW YORK, July 13.-Another rush
of buyers in silver today sent that metal
up to new highs since 1880. Bar silver
spurted rs cents to 401s cents an

Todays price for bar silver compares
with a low of 2412 cents reached on

Heavy speculative purchases of silver
futures were reported on the New York
Commodity Exchange. The recent up
swing of the metal has been attributed
largely to renewed hopes of action being

Petitions, signed by more than
$500 county residents, will be

Power Company today asking
them to extend their lines to all
sections Of Arlington county.
The petitions, circulated in re-

Accident PrObed
The commission last night
drafted a letter to the Virginia
Public Service Company, demand
ing explanation Of a recent acci-
dent in which a small child lost
two fingers as a result Of burns
incurred when he picked up live
wire lying on the ground near
his home.
It was claimed the wire had
been left in a dangerous condition
for some time prior to the acci-
dent. L. c. McNemar, a member
Of the Civic Federation, claimed
the accident was caused because
the electric company had cut its
personnel to such an extent that
they could not properly care for
emergencies"
Phone Rates Up
Minor changes in telephone
rates in the county we're suggested
in a report filed by Paul E
Schaub, chairman of he special
subcommittee on telephone activ-
tiles.
The commission urged all resi-
dents of the county using gas for
household purposes to retain their
bills for service since June l in
order to facilitate refunds if the
decision of the State Corporation
Commission in lowering rates is
upheld. The case is now pending
in the appellate court.
