Money

ed in Returning $9,443 to
Citizens

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 20 Up Re-
turning 20 additional indictments
the Maricopa county grand Jury today
submitted to Superior Judge Phelps
a written report of its finding and
Investigations not heretofore reported
since it was convened April %. In
cluded in the report was censuring
OF state department officials, especi-
ally as to the appropriating of funds,
and recommendations for immediate
construction of certain grade crossings
in the city Of Phoenix and the in
stallation of septic tanks at the
Arizona packing plant here.
Criticism was made of alleged di-
version of funds from one state de-,
partlnent to another, with specific
mention of the state prison and state
highway departments, in which the
grand jury charges in several in
stances it found where moneys were
taken from the salary fund OF the
state prison and paid to the highway
department witae the approval Of tho
secretary of the board Of directors
of public institutions"
The grand jury further claims that
"such transactions were based solely
upon dummy claims and we're in no
sense legitimate transactions, the pur-
pose being, the grand jury is advised,
to prevent such funds from reverting
to the general fund at the close OF
the fiscal year."
Charges openly made on the floors
of the state legislative chambers last
winter are rekindled in the grand
jury report in regard to the admins
tration of the motor vehicle title law
under the. office of secretary Of state.

was repealed over the veto of Cow
ernor Hunt in the last session. the
grand jury reports that it finds the
evidence submitted to it in connection
with the secretary OF state. that
that official has caused to be paid
to himself for the year 1925 the
sum of $t,1O5.55 and for the year
1926 the sum of $1,999.80, or total
of Sc, ,1O5.35 for administering the pro-
visions of that law and in addition to
the salary which he received as sec
retary of state.
'The grand jury feels that the
secretary of state was not entitled to-
this additional compensation under
the law and that the proper official
should Immediately institute suit
against the secretary Of state to col
lect such extra compensation and re-,
turn same to the state treasurer
Secretary of State James Kerby
comes in for more censure on the
motor vehicle title law by the grand
jury relative to the expense OF coli
lecting and turning over moneys to
the state treasurer.
The report states that Of $124,937.42
collected from various sources under

plans for resting three hours, and
then resuming the race.
Flying Cloud held the lead in
the race up to last Wednesday
night, when Mad Bull slipped past
him while ne was asleep. Since
that time Flying Cloud has been
pressing the pace setter closely,
and race officials said the two
might start out about together
if Mad Bull adhered to his rest
program, and Flying Cloud con-
tinued on without resting here.

Seward High school basketball team emerged victorious in the first of the three-game championship ser ies with the Anchorage girls by the margin of a single point, 2O-19, after getting away to a miserable start in the first quarter.
 Anchorage started out with rush and before the game was five minutes old, had piled up 13 points and ap- parently Seward was completely out classed. During the first half the Anchorage quintet gave one of the prettiest exhibitions of passing and shooting ever witnessed in the local gym.
 In the second half the conditions were reversed. The Seward girls Cdm6 OUC WlLu a TuSn ana SLodu1ly cut down the big lead by a hard driving offensive headed by Roberta Mcintosh and Elsa Larsson, both of whom scored four field goals during the game. The Seward defense tight ened up perceptibly, due principally to the fine guarding of Wilma Harri- son, and Anchorage was held to three points in the second half while Sew ard was piling up 12.
