out Engineer Commissioner Bell de-
c.ined TO make any comment, indi-
eating that 1t contains several features
which he does not approve.
The bill as ii stands for the Presi-
dents signature. gives the District a
total of $33,918.571. of which SO. 600. 900
will be contributed by the Federal
Government as it's share of the eX.
pense of the Municipal Government.
This is SO, ,432 .295 short of the original
tentative estimates of the Commits
siOners.
The most decisive cut in the Com
miSsiOners' estimates was made in the
school budget, which started out from
the Board of Education providing for
an appropriation of S43SS.000 and
came out of Congress reduced to
s.. 100000. The slash in the school
estimates, however, was partly offset
by 100000 in the appropriation for
street improvements. The bill allows
100000 for streets, plus $820,000
which was shifted from the last sup.
Elemental appropriation.
The compromise in the item inserted
by the House for 25 per cent in
crease in water rates, it was pointed
out, will cause water users to pay a

The grand jury visited Flat Top
after the disturbance. A wholesale

by Warden Walls and there was little

the investigation gave way to the ex-

came as surprise. after the jury had

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Negotiations
were approaching completion tonight
for the acquisition of the California
Packing company by the Postum Ce
real company, which will result in a
combination of food companies with
total assets of more than $250,000,000.
Banking interests identified with
both properties spent the day in con-
ference in an attempt to agree upon
terms of the merger. Reports were
current that California Packing
shares would be taken over by the
Postum company on a basis equiva-
lent to $175 share, the price touch
ed by the stock today on a rise of
more than eight points. The deal
may involve an exchange of IL
shares of Postum for each share OF
California Packing.
Completion of the merger will make
the Postum Cereal one of the largest
distributors of food products in the
country. The company recently has
pursued a policy of expansion
through it's acquisition of the Jello

SCOTT WHITE
SUCCEEDS ITO
SIMS PLACE

PHOENIX, Feb. 3.-Scott White,
resident of Arizona for more than
40 years and long active in Democra-
tic politics of the state, has been
appointed superintendent of the Ari-
zona state prison at Florence effect
i've today, it was learned last night
from authentic sources.
The new prism superintendent, for
years a Phoenix resident, succeeds
r. B. Sims, who has served nine years
and who retired last night to become
a member of the state industrial in
surance commission, to which he was
appointed by Governor G. w. p.
Hunt.
The appointment of White comes as
a promotion, the new superintendent
having served for some time as sec
retary to the state prison. White
was a candidate in the last democra-
tic primary for the nomination for
state corporation commissioner.
Sims retiring superintendent, stat
ed last night following his arrival in
Phoenix, that although Mr.. Whites
appointment is not effective until to-
day, he turned over it's actual duties
to the new superintendent before de-
parting from Florence yesterday.
White is well known to pioneers of
Arizona, having arrived in this state
about 1872. He is a graduate of the
University of Virginia.
During the earlier period in Ari-
zona history, White served for sew
eral years a a sheriff of Cochise
county, and also was associated for
years with Colonel w. c.. Greene, a
pioneer mining man and cattleman
of Arizona and Sonora
In his connection with Colonel
Greene, Scott served as secretary
treasurer of the Greene -Cananea
Copper company of Cananea, Sonora.
After four years service as re-
ceiver of the United States Land Of
flee in Phoenix, White retired from
this post about two years ago. Dur
ing his more than 40 years in Ari-
zona, the pioneer has lived chiefly in
Cochise county and in Phoenix.
The appointment of White culnnin-
ates a period of uncertainty as to
the successor Of superintendent Sims
it having been understood that three
men were under consideration by
Governor Hunt for the superinten-
dency of the state prison.
1t had been reported for several
days that Governor Hunt was prob
ably 20 reach a decision for the post
between William Delbr.dge, parole
clerk at the state prison, Thomas A.
French, assistant superintendent at
the prison, and Scott White.
The retiring superintendent, Mr.
Sims, has served a total of nine years
in that capacity, his last period Of
service having been for a short time
more than three years, while pre-
vious. period approximated six years.
Sims came to Phoenix preparatory
to assuming his duties as member
of the industrial commission, which
holds it's organization meeting this
morning in the house chambers at
the state capitol.

PRES. ROOSEVELT
(By Dispatch A. P. WIRE,

LONDON, Feb. 3.-In recognition
the crew of the British freight
steamer Antinoe, the king, the
board of trade and Lloyds have
awarded decoration gifts to the Of
ficers and seamen of the United
States liner President Roosevelt,
whose fame has been ringing around
the world. The awards given in
the name of the king and made
in accordance with the constitu-
tional custom under the advice Of
the president of the board of trade,

gold medal ''for gallantry in saving
life at sea-"
The recipients of this decoration
are First Officer Robert Miller, Third
officer Thomas Sloan, Fourth Of
ficer Frank M. Upton, and the
crews of the rescue boats, including
the two, Uno Witanen and Ernest
Heitman, who perished in the gal
liant attempt.
Although Captain Fried was so
greatly concerned in the salvation
OF the castaways, he is not included
