The role of the starlet who, with the connivance of vet- eran Powell and her press agent boy ' friend, played by Stevens, usurps the leading role in a pic- ture that had been intended for a reigning Broadway star, affords Miss Drake both dramatic and mus- ical opportunities. Opposite Powell, Miss Drake has a strikingly dra- matic part; opposite Stevens a gaily romantic one. Powell is said to give much his finest portrayol in years, in the role of the once powerful and swell- headed film star who has fallen from grace WASHINGTON, D. C, March 27— To the Daily Alaska Empire Juneau, Alaska Dear Friends Indian Commissioner Myer has circulated to the press and to field otiices of the Indian,Bureau, a re- leasé of March 20th stating that certain tribal attorney contracts of mine will be cancelled because of statements by the Indians them- selves that I have been negligent in my work. This scandalous state- ment is part of the campaign by Myer to run me out of business. It is based on personal spite because through me, have some of his policies. Through this release he is trying to do by defamation what he has failed to do by administrative ac- tion because Secretary of the In-{ terior. Oscar | L. A Chapman lm.s‘ stopped him. The, statements made by the In- dians were based not on their kiow- ledge, but entirely on the represen- tations of the Commissioner him- self ‘and’ of his subordinates, and on presstfe brought by the Com- mission 'upon thése ‘Indidns 'to ‘get rid of me. The charges of thé'Com- missioner have not ' been proven, and ‘are absolutely false. To' the contrary, the cases I''am handling have made excellent pro- gress.’ The Commissioner tried un- stceessfully ‘to ' rejéct - four other contrcts of mine on' precisely the same grounds. The cases were ap- pealed to Seécretary Chapman. The Secrétary referred ‘them to a com- mittet headed by Assistant Solicitor William Flanéry. The committee re- ported that: “The committee is not able to find on the record before it that the services required of Mr. Curry are not being performed, or that the obligations Imposed upon him by these additional contracts will ot be -performed in the event the con- { A check of king salmon egg plant- ing in Montana and Spring Creeks | yesterday by the Alaska Depart- ment of Fisheries shows up satisfac- torily at this time, according to C.
