BLUE BOOK SENT
 OUT BY SEC. HALL

The Arizona Blue Book for 1921-22 compiled by Ernest Hall, secretary of state, was issued today. The book contains roster of federal, state and county officials in Arizona as we'll as a brief history of the state, popula- tion figures, summary of assessed valuations by general classification in 1920, a list of commercial organiza- tions in the state and also a list of newspapers and magazines published in Arizona, as well as much other in- teresting and valuable information.
 Discussing the. book today, Secre- tary Hall said there was an error on page 49 which made it appear that the state tax commission had three democratic and only one republican member Frank H. Parker, who is designated democrat in the book, really is a republican, MT. Hall said. The secretary said the mistake was due to an error in an official report on the certified returns that was made while Secretary of State Sims was in office. He said in that report Mir. Parker was designated as a democrat and the list for the Blue Book was prepared from it.

TEXAS TOURIST BELIEVED
 SLAIN ON HASSAYAMPA

Deputy sheriffs began search for clews to solve the mysterious dis appearance of J. J. Knight, of Texas, who was travelling across the state in an automobile. The last seen of him was near Buckeye, in Maricopa coun- ty.
 The automobile of Knight was found Sunday morning near Palo Alto stalled in deep sand. According to Sheriff Montgomery, he found eviden- ces near the car thatprivate papers be- longing to the missing man had been burned. The sheriff said the fire had partially destroyed some of the pa pers. One of the papers, he said, tended to indicate Knight was mem- Der of the Masonic lodge.
 Tracks found near the car give rise to the theory that Knight was mur- dered by two men who buried the body somewhere on the desert.
 Knight was in Phoenix last week, according to the officers, and had his car repaired there. According to the description given the officers of the missing man, he wore several pieces of expensive jewelry including val uable diamond ring.
 Knight has been missing since Fri day night, July 15, and was last seen that night, while eating his supper in cafe in Buckeye. On Sunday, Geo. E. Bruner of Palo Verde, found the car stalled in the sand along the Has sayampa river 12 miles north of Palo Verde.
 Knights home is in Witchita Falls, Texas, and he said to be wealthy.

Cold Storage Bill
Is Again Delayed

An unexpected row in the House
over cold-storage legislation caused
further delay to the measure yes
terday.
The House declined to approve
the conference report already
adopted by the Senate, which would
have sent the bill to the President.
Objection was raised to the provi-
sion that all goods in storage ten
days must be stamped with the
time of storage. 1t was argued that
this would interfere with many
small sales OF farm and other prod
ucts that are in storage but a short
time.
In general the legislation provid-
ed that goods could not be kept In
cold storage more than a year.
