SENT RACK TO HOUSE

PHOENIX, Jan. 6.-(R--Joint house
resolution No. I, providing for an in
vestigation of the Arizonai highway
department, which was passed by the
senate yesterday, was reconsidered by
the senate today, recommitted to the
committee on bridges and highways
for corrections and additions and fl
nally sent back to the house.
AS reported and adopted by the
senate, the resolution retained all the
provisions of the previous day with
the addition of clause providing for
the appointment of a committee of
three from both the house and the
senate, appointed respectively by the
speaker and the president, to have
charge of the investigation. Senator
Fred Sutter of Cochise was also named
as manager of the investigation in an
additional clause.
Provision was made for the commit
tee to report to the regular session
negativing the idea that the investi-
cation would be concluded during the
special session. The scope of the in
vestigation provided in the amended
resolution is to inquire into all the
road projects, contracts and expendi-
lures made by the highway depart
ment in the years 1925-1926. The an
nounced purpose of the investigation is
t oascertain and determine the amount
of the deficit stated as being several
hundred thousand dollars and to place
responsibility for the same.

the concessions all afternoon without

A fortunate rainstorm dispersed
the paraders and allayed the fears
felt for the safety Of residents OF
other foreign concessions. Much
street fighting took place Wednes-
day afternoon when mobs of coolies
attacked Chinese police and stoned
buildings. The British women as

and embarked on launches with lighl
baggage for steamers in midstream.
These were to take them toward
Shanghai that night.

Los Angeles the past month Senator

the meeting without ceremony.
Reid reported that the California

Reid reported that the offer made
by California to Arizona was an al

the Colorado river, after Nevada had
been taken care of, with California
taking the remaining two-thirds. In
addition, as power revenue, California

message that appropriations for the
two dirigibles authorized last year be

When the fight over the dirigible

an agreement under which another

The conflict will center about deter

authorized by congress.
The ships in dispute are part OF
eight light cruisers voted in 1924. Two
