CONTEMPORARY ABOLISH OFFICE
 DEPARTMENT IF STATE ADJUTANT
Important Action Likely
 to Be Taken by Executive
 in Conformity with Plan to Gust Colonel Harris

Another communication was received yesterday by Colonel Charles w liar ris adjutant general, from Governor Thomas E. Campbell. and strange to record, it was received with pleasure, the same being the adjutant generals pay warrant for the month of July, said warrant being signed by the gov ernor.
 According to Governor Campbell, this warrant to Colonel Harris is the last one of it's kind, separation from the state payroll having followed the re- fusal of the colonel to resign his office at the request of the governor.
 Two others in the office of the adju- tant general at the state house, Cap tain Temple and the stenographer, also received pay warrants yesterday ac- companied with a haunting fear that they might be the last also for them, as it was reported at the state house yesterday that Governor Campbell in his next move to oust the unwilling colonel, is going to abolish the whole adjutant generals department.
 No drastic moves were made yester- day by Governor Campbell to prevent Colonel Harris from occupying the of fees of the adjutant general in the state house, although it had been ru- mored that something of that kind might occur. Colonel Harris was at the state house offices both morning and afternoon in the interval Of two or three trips to the office of Wylie E. Jones, attorney general.
 Although MT. Jones delivered no written opinion yesterday to Colonel Harris concerning the coloners right to retain his office under the several circumstances which have occurred, it is said that the attorney general stated to Colonel Harris that while there might be some doubt as to the right of the governor to remove Colonel Harris from office without cause, yet there was no doubt of the right and power of the governor to abolish the adjutant generals department in the state.
 In a written opinion delivered yes terday to Mayor COrpstein of Phoenix and the city commission at the request of the mayor, J. E. Nelson. assistant city attorney, declared that the city had legal right to arm and uniform the police reserves.
 No hint has been given regarding the next move of the governor to oust Colonel Harris, but it is practically certain that unless the colonei accedes to the governors request for his resig- nation that the governor will abolish the adjutant generals department. That may happen today.

Marguerite Clark at Lamara Today

Marguerite Clark, who has graced number of child roles-"SnoW White" and Molly Make Believe" among them with such infinite charm and delight plays another enchanting little charac- ter in The Valentine Girl,' a Famous Players rsParamount picture at the La mara today for the last time and which was directed by J. Searle Dawley, who has been responsible for many of Miss Clark's most successful productions. The heart interest and tremendous ap- peal of the little girl in this story will serve to endear Miss Clark even more strongly to the heart of the public, if that is possible. Marian is a child who has never seen either her father or her mother but is finally permitted to see the latter-only to find that he is a professional gambler and a crook, The arrest of her father throws Marian upon her own resources, and the many vicissitudes through which she passes before she falls iii love with a very delightful chap and finally has her father restored to her. a chastened and penitent man form the basis of the story. Frank Losee, who has played SC many great character roles in Fa- nous Players pictures. appears as Ma rian's father. Tomorrow Vivian Mar in and Jack Pickford will be seen in The Girl from Home" picture you've been waiting for.
