Tally Will Accept
U..Of A. Regency

Governor Hunt announced Monday
that a meeting of the board Of re-
gents of the University of Arizona
had been called for Monday, January
81, at Tucson, to consider the resig-
nation of DR.. C. H. Marvin, president,
rendered to the board last week SIM
ultaneously with the designations of
four board members.
Governor Hunt said also that
Robert E. Tally, general manager of
the United Verde Copper company at
Jerome, had accepted an appointment
to the board to succeed E. E. Ellin-
wood, president of the board of
regents. Tally, however, it was
pointed out, does not necessarily
succeed Ellinwood as president of the
board, but only as member as the
regents themselves elect their own
president.
Acceptance by Tally of the ap-
pointment rendered him last week by
Governor Hunt leaves two vacancies
on the board to be filled-those
created by the designations of Cleve
Van Dyke and Judge John HI. Camp
bell of Tucson. Governor Hunt was
non-committal as to whether the Van
Dyke and Campbell designations had
been received, but indicated that the
announcement Of further appoint
ments probably would be made later
in the week.
Tally and George w. Bridge, pres
ident of the farm bureau, succeed the
two regents whose designations al
ready are on file in the governors
office, Ellinwood and John J. Corri
gan.
Governor Hunt was reported to
have issued the call for the regents
meeting shortly after receiving word
from Tucson that Dr. Marvin had
asked for an immediate meeting to
consider his recognition, supplement-
ed by the statement that conditions
at the university wereAso acute as to
demand immediate action.

Governor PrOcL0ims
TlOO ArbOr Days

The vast area embraced by Arizona
and the wide range in climatic con-
ditions the state has to offer the
world, were again brought officially
to public attention today through a
proclamation issued by Governor
Hunt, designating February 4 as
Arbor day for southern Arizona and
April 8 as Arbor day for northern
Arizona. Conflicting climatic condi-
tions make it impossible for both the
northern and the southern sections
of the state to plant trees on the same
day with success.
The governors proclamation fol-
lows:
Pursuant to law, / George w. P.
Hunt, governor Of the state Of Ari-
zona do hereby designate and set
apart the fourth day of February,
1927 as Arbor day, to be observed in
the counties of Cochise, Gila, Gra-
ham, Greenlee, Maricopa, Pima,
Santa Cruz and Yuma and further
more, I designate and set apart the
8th day of April, 1927. as Arbor day,
to be observed in the counties of
Apache, Coconino, Mohave and va
vapai.
81 further recommend that due OBJ
servance be taken of Arbor day by
both teachers and pupils of the states
educational institutions through the
holding of appropriate exercises and
the planting of such trees, shrubs
and Vines as viii enhance the ap-
pearance and value of the environs of
public institutions of learning.
at is also recommended that the
people Of Arizona shall improve all
privately owned domains to increase
the beauty and add to the attractive
ness of our city, and state.
''In Witness Whereof, have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the state to be affixed
hereto.
"Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this
goth day of January, 1927.
&C. w. p. HUNT,
Governor of Arizona"

PROMINENT CITIZENS
TO RECEIVE REV ARD

The task of being a prominent citi-
zen, heretofore thankless, is to have
its reward in Phoenix hereafter.
Prominence in civic affairs, specifical-
" the achievement of the years
greatest single civic act, is to be re-
warded by receipt Of a gold medal
and by the craving Of the name and
the deed upon bronze tablet, the lat
ter to be affixed to monument that
is to rise in local park. This mon
ument, in days to come, may be wholly
covered by the enduring testimonials.
Distinction, to be rendered only to a
resident of more than five years
standing and not over 60 years of age,
may go to one who has led in civic
benefactions or in fields of learning or
art. A secret committee is to give the
name to the chamber of commerce.

Social Visits of Life Termer
Hindered by Being Locked Out

That "stone walls do not a prison
make nor iron bars a cage" may be
trite, does not detract from its accur-
racy, in the opinion of John Graft,
convict, recently escaped from the Ari-
zona penitentiary at Florence, who
told police at Bisbee that he had been
"a courting" on the night he was
missing from prison and did not re-
turn because he knew he would be
locked out.
While police could not verify Crafts
amazing recital, his escape, they said,
lent some credence to his nonchalant
assertion that he frequently left the
prison by a method of his own and
made nightly sojourns with compan-
ion to Casa Grande, Ariz., where he
knew two young women. The convict
said the only difficulty was that he
had to be back inside the "stonewalls"
by 8 o'clock or he found himself
locked out"
Declaring that the penitentiary is
much harder to get into than out of,
Graft explained that he had served
ten years of a life sentence, was
trusty on duty in the bakery and be-
sides was a twell-behaved prisoner"
adding that he had frequently pur-
loined one of the prison doctors cars
and with his prison mate went for
nocturnal "joyrides" to see their
girls" 1t was on one such a night
that the borrowed" automobile ran
out of gasoline and the convict said
he hesitated to return late to the
prison for fear Of not being able to
get inside
After enlarging on his peregrina-
tions during several weeks past, Graft
departed with his captor, a Texas Of
ficer, after inviting the local chief of
police to "come and see me some time
and I'll buy you a drink-real stuff
Florence is not SO bad"

AUTO ACCIDENT MAY BE
FATAL TO PRESCOTT MAN

George O. Blickenstaff, manager of
the Yavapai Motor company and pro-
prietor of the Plaza Annex garage in
Prescott, lies in critical condition in
the Mercy hospital as a result Of an
automobile accident about 8 o'clock
Monday morning, ten miles out on the
Hassayampa trail.
While in a kind of coma, with
periods of consciousness, attending
physicians deem his condition too
weak to permit thorough examina-
tion for the purpose of determining
the exact nature of his injuries, al
though a severe blow in the solar
plexus region of his stomach is con-
sidered responsible for the internal
injuries from which he is suffering.
The accident was the result of col
lision with another car.

MISSING ONE YEAR,
BODY JUST FOUND

William Holtzclaw, trapper, dis
appeared from his camp near the Fly
ing Fl ranch, last October. Searchers
have found his body in a canyon only
mile from his cabin, and nearby, the
carcass of a tied burro that had died
of starvation. 1t is believed that
Holtzclaw was stricken by tubercu-
losis and had died soon after an en-
forced stop. He was a Missourian,
and papers show him to have been
discharged from the army at Camp
Travis. Texas. in April, 1913.

Beautiful Blonde
Writes Ugly Checks

A dozen Mesa merchants and sew
eral Chandler business men awoke
to the fact that they have been vic
timized by handsome blonde who
passed worthless checks on them,
each check being in the sum of S24.
They were drawn on Chandler
bank, with the names of various
farmers signed to them, and made
out to different persons, her name
being on the back as an endorser.
At no place where the pretty wo-
man presented them We're the validity
of the checks questioned, although
all are in the same handwriting.
While the ones who hold the sack
have entered complaints, the golden
haired maid has vanished and little
hope of apprehending her is held.

Banks Fear Legal
Status of Warrants

Members of the state senate have
learned that counsel for "some of the
better known banks have advised
their clients not to cash any more
registered state warrants until the
legal uncertainties surrounding the
amount now owed by the state have
been cleared up.
Senator Kinney of Gila county in a
recently introduced resolution asked
the judiciary committee to inform the
legislature as to 'sthe legal meaning
and significance, If any, Of the con-
stitutional provisions in reference to
the limitation Of the indebtedness Of
the state to $350,000."
The state highway department in
its financial rehabilitation bill made
known that it carried an Indebtedness
of some $800,000. About $175,000 of
this, however, the department expects
to be erased through revenues from
the gasoline tax and other resources.
The state has outstanding "many
thousand dollars worth of registered
warrants" the newspapers informant
says. "In order to take them up and
provide for running expenses until
taxes come in, State Treasurer Cal
laghan has asked for authority to Is
sue the customary tax anticipation
bonds"

AGED PROSPECTOR FOUND
DEAD IN HIS CABIN

Otto Gier, sixty year old prospector,
began his last journey Sunday,
wrapped in the canvas on which he
died. Coroner's jurors who climbed
to his little cabin on Groom creek, six
miles south of Prescott, to examine
the cause of his death, strapped his
body to a pole and carried it, Chinese
coolie fashion, to the nearest highway
because no automobile could get to
the spot where Gier had spent the last
Is years searching for gold.
Beside the body as it lay in the
open cabin was a bottle of moonshine.
Whether Gier died of cold after be-
coming insensible, or perished a vic
tim of bad liquor, is not known.
