VOTE LIKELY THURSDAY

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.-President Will
son to-day vetoed the immigration bill
passed recently by Congress because of
its literacy test provision. 1t was the
second time President Wilson had vetoed
an immigration bill because of the liter
acy test, and for the same reason SIM
liar measures were vetoed by Presidents
Taft and Cleveland.
When the message was read in the
House 1t was ordered to lie on the table
until Thursday morning. and champions
Of the bill began laying their plans for
an effort to override the veto. Chair
man Burnet announced tonight that he
would move for a vote Thursday. Two
years ago the House lacked only four
votes OF the necessary two-thirds ma
jority to pass the bill over the veto, the
yeas being PSI and the nays 1856. The
attempt having failed in the House no
action was taken by the Senate.
When President Taft vetoed a similar
measure because OF the literacy test the
Senate succeeded in overriding him by
more than two-thirds majority. but
the House fell short about a dozen votes.
The bill which the President vetoed to-
day passed the House last March by a
! vote of 30S to 81 ami the Senate in De-
/ cember by 81 to 7.

Of special interest not only to Flag staff friends but many out of town ones as well, is the engagement of Miss Mary Greenlaw and Mir. Dayton Draine. To a coterie of girl friends of the bride, the announcement was made last Thursday night at the Greenlaw ranch, east of town.

The interesting secret was learned by each guest finding a tiny card hidden in her napkin upon which clever verse revealed the fact that Mary and Dayton would soon be one.
 Miss Greenlaw is a great favorite in Flagstaff and counts her friends by the score. The groom, while not Of long residence here, has made many friends. A number of pre-nuptial affairs are being planned for the pleasure of the bride, while the we'd ding itself will occur early in Septem- Der.

He is especially anxious that the ranch CTS call at the hotel and make them selves known as his time is limited and he wants to do as much work az possible while here.

He is making this trip for the state de partment of Agriculture and Horti- culture and his services don't cost rancher a cent.

HARRIS REFUSES TO
 GIVE UP OFFICE

Not without fight will Colonel Charles w. Harris surrender his office as adjutant general of Arizona. This at least was the substance of state. ment issued by the colonel Monday in which he strongly questioned the jurisdiction of the governor. Govern or Campbell refused to make any statement regarding the matter.
 Only for cause and in a legal way as prescribed by the Arizona statutes can an adjutant general be removed from office, according to Colonel Har- ris. Likewise, a successor can be ap. pointed only by the four line officers of the national guard of this State and not by the chief executive, says Harris.
 Notwithstanding this belief, it was learned today that summary of the law regarding this point is on file irl the office of the chief executive and every law phase had been carefully and searchingly considered before the resignation was requested, it was stated.
 According to Colonel Harris state ment, no cause for the request was given by Governor Campbell, the communication merely stating that his resignation was desired.
 "In my intercourse with Governor Campbell our relations have always been of a friendly nature," declared Colonel Harris today. q had no in- timation whatsoever of what was coming and it was as great surprise to me as to anyone.
 The communication from Governor Campbell requesting his resignation was received by Colonel Harris at ( o'clock Saturday evening.

WORK AND RECREATION

WORK AND RECREATION
 The need of recreation grows as We take up the burdens war has thrust upon us.
 While there is more seriousness in the social life of every community, still this social side must be maintain ed to effect a right proposition.
 There is a field engaging the atten- tion of women just now, which ever seems to widen-the work of the Red Cross. While the work has grown tremendously, yet the needs grow so rapidly; one woman writes from Paris that everything is going out. On a visit to one of the military hos pitals to watch the Carrel treatment, by chance she noticed one of the nurs- es go to the cupboard for binders and slings. It was literally bare except for a few rags-but cheerfully she explained-"It is the most we can get" Such glimpses as these make it imperative that we do quickly what the women of America have set out to do-"Help win the war by the way of the Red Cross" In the local sewing rooms the report each week is most gratifying-but there are more help CTS needed. The work is not for any club or society to put through but every woman in Flagstaff is asked to come and do her "bit." One chairman was most elated to announce 76-- seventy-six finished pieces as the work of her table on Tuesday. A splendid showing surely!
 Mrs. Porter will welcome you next Tuesday and gladly place you under some chairman for work. Again the call comes for old linens.
 All surgical dressings are wrapped in these old linen pieces and tied in bundles to be sterilized; consequently the need is great for these old pieces Donations of outing flannel and plain white flannel will be received by the committee on comfort bags. It might interest some to know that seventy five dollars worth of material is made up in two days period of each week
 President Powers made a visit tc the work rooms on Friday last and commented on the splendid spirit shown in the work. Come next Tues day!
