Russell, 37, dropped with a bullet in his right arm. Another shot grazed th'* head of Betty Cronin. 10, sister of Raleigh, as she crouched, terrified, behind a chair.

Philip Armour, senior vice-president of i the company and a grandson of its founder, was regarded as having almost an equal chance to receive the appointment. Armour and his brother, Lester, who resigned a month ago as vicepresident of the company, are nephews of the late J. Ogden Armour, who was rated as one of America's wealthiest men until the close of the World war. when he lost approximately $1,000,000 a day for months on food contracts be had made with th? government. Reed, who had been discussing some business matters with White, was talking to the company president a few minutes before last night's tragedy. During *the conversation lie suddenly recalled that he had another engagement, excused himself and went for his hat and coat. B sides White and Reed, others present in the White apartment ( were Mrs. Whit and her sister. Miss Kathleen Peat son. While Herd was getting his hat and coat, White, who had complain- j ed that the room was warm, stepped into a bedroom. A moment later. Miss Pearson left the living room to answer the telephone, iu a hallway. As she passed the bedroom which White had entered she noticed that the French windows were open. Alarmed, she glanced about for White and, failing to s e him, screamed. Reed called pol’ce and hurried to the ground floor. He and police Lieut. Timothy M. Rohan agreed that, judging from the position ot the body, White must have fallen from the window. Reed said Arm-1 our and Company was in splendid financial condition, that White had enjoyed one of his most successful years as president, drspite the general business depression, and that there was no reason whatever why he should take his own life. The body was found almost against the side of the building, indicating White had fallen straight down the wall rather than jumping from the window-. The last Reed saw of White, the president was sitting in the French window in the bedroom. He was swinging his feet, Reed said, and laughed heartily when Reed remarked about a recent trip they had made together to New York.

I On Wednesday evening, just ■ about 24 hours before his death, White attended the annual Armour executives’ meeting at the stockyards restaurant. White was scheduled us the principal speaker of the evening. He sat, with other speakers, on a platform which was raised about 18 inch s above the flour level. As he arose to speak, the rear legs of ids chair slipped off the platform and he toppled off with the chair, failing on his head and shoulders. For a time, he appeared slightly dazed, but apparently recovered and expressed a desire to go ahead with his address. A physician advlsid him, however, to go horu»'. which he did, and the dinner end ed. White was a native of Peoria, 111. He had been with Armour and Company for 35 years. He began as a car checker at $lB a we-k, after working for packing companies in Peoria and San Francisco. From 1905 to 1912 he ruse rapidly from the position of h ad of the sheep department to a member of the board of directors and in 1914 he was elevated to vice president. In 1923, when J. Ogden Armour became chairman of the board. White became president. 0 Pins’* Rapid Growth Pines In tlie B<>uth (’nrolliiii dem onstration forests grow to s height of 14 feet In five years from the seed.
