Early next week, President Hard

The terms of J. Thilman Hendrick

close to the President that he has
not considered appointing either OF

influential friends of Miss Boardman,

BILL PASSED
Work Will Begin on New Con-
duit for Water Supply When
Measure Is Signed.

Army engineers are planning TO
begin immediate work, as soon as
the $500, 900 appropriation Is avail
able, on the Tyler plan for incress-
ing the water supply of the District
OF Columbia by constructing an addi-
uonal conduit from Great Falls TO
Delacarlia reservoir.
PASSED By HOUSE.

preparation bill making initial provi-
sion for the Great Falls project.

however. the House stipulated that
the funds for the work should be ap-
propriated on the 6O-40 basis.
Opposition to the Tyler project was
led by Chairman Mapes who con-
tended that II would commit Congress
to future expenditures that might
reach 100000 or even 500. 000, ,00o
before the undertaking Is fully realized.
By comparing IL with the MUSICALE
Shoals project. he elected strong sup
port of his opposition from opponents
of the great Alabama waterpower
scheme. Mr.. Mapes further objected
because the report of the Tyler plan.
had not been printed for the bene6t
Of Congressman.
MEASURE IS OPPOSED.
Congressman Johnson seconded Mr..
Mapes in expressing fear that the
Tyler plan would endanger the supply
of water at Great Falls and denounced
as "bugaboo" the alleged shortage
of water in the District
at seems passing strange that the
engineers should have suddenly dis
covered the alleged shortage of water
in the closing hours of Congress-" re-
marked Jones, of Texas. 'If they did
not know it before, then there is no
reason to place too much dependence
upon their opinion and take hurried
action without due reflection"
Objections of these opponents were
bowled over in the final vote and
the army bill. when President VIII
son signs 1t, will provide that the
initial steps be taken to execute the
plans
An unsuccessful attempt was made
by Congressman Moore of Virginia
to assess the entire expense involved
in the project against the District
of Columbia. Otherwise. Moore
staunchly defended the Tyler plan.
He declared that the imminent water
shortage was not nearly so serious
as the fact that the entire system
is in danger of going out. The
present conduit. he declared, is
wholly inadequate. is of brick con-
struction and is 'liable to go out
at any time"
FAVORED QUICK ACTION.
He declared it takes two days to
empty the conduit and since the res
ervoir does not hold more than two
days supply OF water. it is impossible
to make repairs.
Congressman Zihlman urged i'm
mediate action on the project and
quoted at length from Major Tyler's
report to show the necessity for be-
ginning the work at once. In this
he was supported by Congressman
Sisson Of Mississippi, who declared
that no time should be lost in begin
ming the preliminary work.

BEST PLACE TO HEAR
INAUGURAL ADDRESS

City Editor, Washington Times:
II may be of benefit to the
people of Washington to know
that the best place to hear the
inaugural address will be all the
way across the Capitol plaza and
not close to the stand. The Bell
Telephone experts who have been
testing the loud speaking sys-
tenn assure you that everybody
that can crowd on the broad
space In front OF tho Capitol can
hear the speech. The tendency
OF the crowds who have been at
tending our denomination have
been to get about seventy-nve
or a hundred feet away in order
perhaps. to see as much as they
could of the stand and the man
who was speaking into the in
significant box which forms the
only visible part OF the loud
speaking apparatus.
However. those people who
will stand $50 feet to 400 yards
away. n little to one side, will
be those who hear the best

their preliminary hearings.
Three of the persons, Cliff Graham,
alias Tudie Mobiles, Pat Mobiles and
Mrs. l.. Smith. their mother, were
arrested early Thursday morning in
Nogales by Deputy Sheriffs G. p.
Anderson and AL Dewitt and were
brought to Phoenix last night. I'M

for the arrest of the three who have

weeks.

The sixth person under arrest is
Blanche Tunstall Arlington, wife of
j. ]. Arlington and sister of Tom
Tunstall. Tunstal. Mrs. Addington
and Schaible were arrested here late
Wednesday night. Two others
charged with the murder have not
been apprehended.
TunstaI, according to the officers,
is the owner of the Hassayampa ga
rage situated on the main highway TO
Parker and about 10 miles south OF
the spot where knights Franklin car
was found stalled in the sand on an
unused road leading into the Hasa
yampa river. Schaible has been en-
ployed in the Hassayampa garage
the officers say, Is mechanic. Mrs.
Smith and her two sons, the officers
say, formerly lived near the Hassay-
ampa garage.
The skull and eharred bones, which
have practically been identified as
those of Knight, were found in a
shallow grave about three miles
north of the Hassayampa garage and
about seven miles south of where the
car was found stalled in the sand.
Mrs. Smith and her two sons. the
officers say, formerly lived within a
short distance across the river from
the spot, where the skull and partial
ly burned bones We're found.
Officers working on the case have
reached the conclusion the body was
burned with an acetylene blow torch
used by mechanics to weld and cut
steel and iron. A blow torch, the
officers say, would furnish a terrific
heat sufficient TO destroy the flesh
and CHAIR the bones without burning
any grass or shrubbery nearby. Parts

POLICE ARE ASKED
To LOCATE MANY
MISSING PEOPLE

Finding missing" people is one of
the most bothersome and least APP
preciated servic the Phoenix po
lice department renders, according to
Chief George Brisbois, who estimat-
ed yesterdav that inquiries of this
nature received by the department
average Is a week. In so per cent of
the cases the persons sought are To-
Gated.
Every day the police receive two
or three letters making inquiry as
to the whereabouts of someone sup
posed to be in Phoenix Most of the
people sought are healthseekers who
have neglected to notify relatives or
friends of their addresses. Others
are merely people who have drifted
out of touch with relatives.
In each case the police try to,find
the person sought by telephoning no
tells, reoming houses, sanitariums,
desert camps and even physicians. If
all other measures fail the newspa-
pers are asked to run brief items con-
corning the search and to the credit
of the press be it said that in eight
cases out of ten the little items bring
results.
1T is impossible for US to send
out men to try to find people whose
relatives or friends write us to find
out where they are, but we do the
best we can" said Chief Brishois.
I'VE also receive many letters from
collection agencies trying to locate
certain people. If the information
can be obtained from the city direc-
tory we furnish 1t. However, in tn 4
case of persons who are being sought
by relatives we take every possible
measures to find them"

ing of the Rotary club yesterday at

interesting.
Miss Weiss outlined the work of
the public health nurse, of what they
are trying to do in a quiet way and
some of the needs of the organization
of which she is a part. From 20 to
40 patients are interviewed daily at
the clinic, she stated. If necessary,
a nurse follows this with a visit to
the home, where the patient is taught
how to care Cor himself or for others
in the home.
An interesting statement by Miss
Weiss was that of every So normally
healthy persons in Phoenix there is
one afflicted with tuberculosis. From
February Is to the present time, she
stated. more than 1000 had been Wis
tied by the public nurses. OF this
number 400 were IuDeTCOlar.
Miss Weiss made plea for more
public nurses to care for the in
crea sing. work. The two public
nurses now work from eight to IA
hours daily and the time has come,
she said. when there must be addi-
tons to the staff if the work is to be
taken care of.
The public health law was ex-
planned by DR.. Tuthill, and the duties
Of the state, county and city health
officers. The neglect in reporting
births, as required by law, was criti-
cized by the speaker. He declared
that only public opinion viii make the
