DEMOCRAT STALWARTS OF PAST CAMPAIGNS WILL BE DISCARDED BY ROOSEVELT New Leaders Will Guide Party in White House Race; Appeal Will Be Aimed at South and West. RASKOB MAY GIVE WAY TO FARLEY McAdoo, Garner, Wheeler and Walsh Stand Out as Dominating Figures in Revamped Lineup. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Writer j CHICAGO, July 2.—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt’s nomination as the Democrats’ presidential candidate is expected to result in a radical shift in the politics and personalities which have dominated the party for the last decade. Under the successive leaderships of James M. Cox in j 1920, John W. Davis in 1924, and especially, Alfred E. Smith j in 1928, the Democrats devoted their attention to winning! the votes and allegiance of the east and northeast.

On issues affecing prohibition, business and industry, these three regimes tried to appeal to the states of the west having large electoral votes. Tlie theme song was the "Sidewalks of New York,’’ and its hero the child of the tenement district of lower Manhattan. Appeal in South and West The new Roosevelt dynasty is counted on to relegate many of this group to the background because it was they who most bitterly opp—,cd Roosevelt’s nomination. He is expected to direct his appeal to the south and west, which furnished the votes for his nominations, and try to win in November with the support of these sections. His managers already outline a campaign similar to that which Woodrow Wilson conducted in 1916. when he won without the votes of key states in the east and middle west. In fact, Frank Hague (N. J.), Smith manager, ,and Governor Joseph B. Ely (Mass.), who supported Smith, virtually foreclosed their states against Roosevelt in the election. Hague called the New York Governor the candidate of the country as against the cities, and the Roosevelt people made the most of this attack. Champion of Country Folk They retorted that large business influences headed the movement to block his nomination. "You people in the cities don’t grow the kind of people we do in the country,” Roosevelt once wrote, “although you grow good people.” The figures who put over Roosevelt hail from the west and south, and it is believed they will have a more important place in party councils than the nominee’s enemies. They include such men as William G. McAdoo (Cal.), Speaker John N. Garner (Tex.), Senators Burton K. Wheeler and Thomas J. Walsh (Mont.), Clarence C. Dill (Wash.), Huey P. Long (La.) and Pat Harrison (Miss.). Farley to Succeed Raskob Except for the last named, these men almost have nothing in common with the group which has headed the party since 1920. Another elder who may be swept into the wings is Senator Carter Glass (Va.). The senator backed ex-Governor Harry F. Byrd (Va.), and clashed openly with the man who made possible Roosevelt’s nomination—McAdoo. While selection of a national chairman has not been made, it is expected the post will be taken from John J. Raskob, Smith’s friend, and turned over to James A. Farley. Roosevelt's manager. As prophetic of changes, both Raskcrb and Clem Shaver, who handled the Davis 1924 campaign, were "forgotten men” here. The three presidential candidates since 1920, including Cox, whose running mate Roosevelt then was. were lined up in the anti-Roosevelt camp. Need Forest of Olive Branches The Roosevelt people realize that their most difficult, task is to placate their vanquished foes. The one link with some in this group is Farley, a Tammany member, and a close friend of Smith in other days. Despite the bitterness which prevailed at the convention, Farley has indicated he immediately will assume the role of peacemaker. But it will take a forest of olive branches to conceal the weapons which flashed in the all-night battle at the convention stadium. NAMED BUREAU COUNSEL Barnett W. Breedlove to Represent Area for Veterans’ Board. Barnett W. Breedlove, assistant attorney for the Indianapolis area of the United States veterans' bureau, has been appointed chief counsel of the region, with offices at the veterans’ hospital here. He succeeds to the vacancy caused by the death of Freal H. Mclntosh. Breedlove is prominent in American Legion affairs.

FRIGHTENED, PIG-TAILED COUNTRY LASS NO LONGER PROBLEM OF TRAVELERS’AID

THE country girl with the cornfed look, her straw hat with ribbons floating like yacht pennants, and who wore pig-tails to accentuate her modesty, is no more. Nor do deadly, dastardly, whiteslavers or dope-ring lieutenants lay in wait behind benches in the Indianapolis Union station in readiness to plunge the needle of sleep into that country girl's buxom arm.

FACES FRAUD TRIAL Former City Man Is Brought Here From Seattle. After appealing to seven courts in the west to prevent being extradited to Indiana to face a charge of grand larceny for theft of SIO,OOO from an Indianapolis woman, George Black, 65, formerly of 3428 Broadway, was returned here Friday for trial. Black was accompanied by Detective Philip Miller, who spent nearly two months in Seattle, Wash., where Black waged his fight against being returned to face the charge. The return was made on a warrant filed April 26 by Mrs. Doris G. Smalley, 3922 Park avenue, who charged she gave Black SIO,OOO to invest for her. She was to receive SIOO for use of the money, she charged. Lodged in the county jail in default of $20,000 after reaching the city, Black said he had no intention of defrauding Mrs. Smalley. He said he took his family to Seattle and while returning to Indianapolis was caught in a snow storm in Wyoming and delayed. He said he borrowed the money in good faith and intended to carry out his part of the agreement. HELDON DRUNK CHARGE Mother of Two Arrested Following Auto Collision. When the automobile in which she was driving with her two children struck a parked car at Morris street and Belmont avenue, Friday night, Mrs. Ana Thomas, 2325 Miller street, was arrested by police on charges of drunkenness and operating an auto while drunk. Neither of the children was injured. According to police, Mrs. Thomas’ car collided with that of William Phaxton, 1942 Wilcox street, damaging both. “What Prohibition Law?” By United Press CLEVELAND, July 2. When Harry W.

SPOTLIGHT OF TRAGEDY ON BERNHARDT

4 Divine Sarah * Plays Cleopatra Role After Leg Is Amputated

Harold Seton 1* hailed at the champion first-nighter of the American stage. More than twenty-five years of attendance at premiers have given him an almost lnexhaustable well of memories. This is the third of a series of interviews with Joseph Mitchell, WorldTelegram staff writer. BY JOSEPH MITCHELL Timet Staff Writer Copyright. 1932. bv the New York WorldTelegram Cornoratlon.i T TER right leg had been amputated. She was feeble and tired. On the darkened stage this indomitable woman of 75 reclined on a gilded couch and pretended she was Cleopatra, the lithe and sinister siren of Egypt. The spectators applauded, and the tumultuous Sarah Bernhardt stood up, held to the shoulders of two young actors, and bowed. She never took a step. She did not want the audience to see her limp. “That,” said Harold Seton, dean of Manhattan’s first-nighters, “was the most pathetic scene I ever saw in a theater. “The divine Sarah in her last hour on the American stage was tragic as the Greeks were tragic. She revived Cleopatra and Mme. X for the reverent ones of Manhattan. Then she went back to Paris to die. An aged woman, dreaming of the past. I went to first nights for a quarter century, but this was the most pathetic scene I ever saw . . . “But it saddens me to think of it. I rather would recall the most preposterous performance I ever saw. The Cherry sisters at Hammerstein’s old Victory theater. They were so bad they were extremely popular. “Instead of firing the sisters, the j managers stretched a net across | the proscenium and allowed them to go on and sing and recite to ! their hearts’ content. "Rowdies hurled vegetables and eggs at them, but very few of the missiles slipped through the net. As long as they were bad, they were paid.

Bn United Press m CHICAGO, July 2.—Harry A. Shilvock. an automobile salesman, was holding a cap today, but the more he looked at it the more it look to him like a bag. The cap was given to him to hold by a young man who said his name was Johnson, and was interested in buying a sleek $3,000 roadster. Shilvock and Johnson drove to a loop hotel to see the customer’s father and close the deal. Johnson asked the salesman to hold his cap a moment. Shilvock was still holding the cap today.

READY TO LAUNCH DRY PARTY PARLEY

Senator Borah May Lead Ticket, Chairman Says at Meeting. Open gun of the Prohibition party convention to be held in Cadle tabernacle Tuesday and Wednesday will be sounded at a mass meeting Monday night. D. Leigh Colvin, national chairman of the Prohibition party, at a meeting at the tabernacle Friday night stated that Senator William E. Borah of Idaho might be named as the party’s candidate for President. Definite information has not been received as to whether Borah will attend the convention, although it is understood strong sentiment has been voiced in advocacy of his selection as the party’s leader. At the meeting Friday night, speakers declared prohibition never had the full support of either the Democratic or Republican parties, and the opportunity exists for formation of a third party devoted entirely to unholding the eighteenth amendment and strict enforcement of its provisions. E. Howard Cadle, prohibition nominee for Governor, and the Rev. B. L. Allen, state chairman, expressed the belief that Borah would find strong support in Indiana, if he could be induced to accept the nomination. Local workers of the W. C. T. U. bore out the statement of Mrs, Ella A. Boole, national president, that the organization was not associated officially with the third party movement. None of the local workers had been informed of the convention and several stated they would not attend. The convention, which was called in Indianapolis by Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin, who is New York state president of the W. C. T. U., will be called to order Tuesday. Pre-con-vention activities in addition to the mass meting Monday, will include a meeting of the women’s national committee on law enforcement at the Roberts Park M.

Payment of inheritance taxes from one man’s estate took the New Jersey state treasury out of the “red’ for the last fiscal year, and started it out with a half-million dollar balance for the new- year, which began Friday. The inheritance taxes were paid by the executors of the estate of United States Senator Dwight W. Morrow. They amounted to $1,019,000, and gave the state a net free balance of $596,014.70. If the executors had waited another three months to pay the taxes without interest, as the law permits, New Jersey woud have started the fiscal year with a debt balance of about $400,000.

Harley Corum, 13-year-old crack shot from Louisville, and runnerup in last year’s national marble tourney, Friday shattered the long standing jinx that a national runnerup never comes back to win a title. Although not near the form he showed Thursday in disposing of St. Louis and Springfield, Mass., two of the top favorites of the tourney, Corum sailed over 12-year-old Earl Weisgerber of Wildwood, N.

Billy Dyer of Indianapolis watched the finals after taking his final dip in the ocean earlier Friday morning. He began his return home late Friday afternoon, will stay over in Cincinnati tonight and arrive home at 11:40 Sunday morning. The trip has been “great,” according to Billy, who already is looking forward to next year’s Times tourney. “But, boy, I’m going to learn to stick before then,” he says. Inability to stick in the ring was Billy’s greatest handicap here this year and cost him many victories in elimination play.

OFFICIALS WAR ON WRIT PLEA IN WATER CASE City and State Join Fight to Hold Cuthbertson Rate Schedule. City and state officials and civic leaders today prepared to oppose suit filed by the Indianapolis Water Company in federal court Friday for an interlocutory injunction against enforcement of the new Cuthbertson water rate schedule. State offcials expressed surprise over filing of the suit in view of the fact the rates are temporary only, and an audit and appraisal of the company’s property, on which permanent rates will be based, probably will be completed in three months. Hearing on the injunction plea has been set tentatively by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell for July 15 before three judges. Baltzell refused to grant a temporary restraining order. Charges Rates Confiscatory The company, in its suit for injunction against the public service commission order, charges the reduced rates are confiscatory in that they prevent the company from receiving an adequate return of revenue. City officials and civic organization leaders have indicated they will join with the commission in resisting the suit. Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbertson, who wrote the rate order, announced he personally would appear in court to defend it. He is a lawyer and former member of the state senate from Peru. The rate order written by Cuthbertson April 1 reduced the minimum charge for small consumers from $1.50 for 700 cubic feet a month to SI.OB for 500 feet, at the same time increasing rates paid by consumers of more than 700 cubic feet of water a month. Granted Moynahan Plea Superior Judge Joseph R. Williams several weeks ago granted petition, of eight apartment house companies, headed by T. A. Moynahan, for injunction against the increases for large users. A second commission order sustaining the SI.OB minimum rate and granting a lower rate for large users was issued June 17 by Cuthbertson. This second order also left the civil city its $65,000 water bill cut granted in the first order. Following the Williams decision, the company asked the commission for an audit, appraisal and inventory of its property as basis for permanent rates. The company, in its federal suit, charges that evidence before the commission showed its valuation was $26,456,152, instead of $21,118,252, as fixed by Cuthbertson in his June 17 order. Predict Revenue Loss The new rates, it is charged, will result in a revenue lass of $228,300 a, year compared with revenue derived from rates in effect prior to April 1. The company further asserts that the present rate order will give the company only 5.59 per cent return on the commission’s valuation figure, or 4.46 per cent on the company’s own valuation figure, instead of the 8 per cent return to which the company claims it is entitled. Regardless of decision of the three judges, it is expected appeal will be sought to the United States supreme court. HOLDS UP BUS DRIVER, BANDIT GETS $5.44 Young Robber Keeps Promise and Returns Money-Changer.
