LARGE CROWD SEES HEARTS OF WORLD
 ON OPENING NIGHT

Hearts of the World. the master creation of that marvellous wizard of the screen. D. w. Griffith. played to d packed house at the Eagle theater and turned hundreds away last night, is one of the most realistic pictures ever screened, containing some of the most wonderful battle scenes yet pre- sented to the public and is really a fine thing fully worthy of the tre- mendous patronage that has been ac- corded it wherever it has been shown. A decidedly commendable feature of the affair-especially to strong, cool and sentimental folks-is the fact that the house was darkened and one may blubber his eyes out unObseryed. That there are tears is foolish to deny. That was brought about a number of times during the evening when the lusty poiiu defies and vanQuishes a squad of boches or when the wee brother sacrifices his toy pistol to the cause of France. but tears there were The large symphony orchestra that accompanies the picture set the col bring and atmosphere to the play and a person fOrgets that he is merely witnessing a photoplay instead of liy- Ing in war-ridden France.

 For the first time in the history of motion pictures, Mir.

SUPREME COURT TO
 CALL CALENDAR OF IMPORTANT CASES
cReview Phoenix Bureau

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 10.-The cal endar for the present term will be called in the state supreme court Monday. The calendar is unusually heavy owing to the fact that the Oc- tober term was devoted to the dis posal of cases then pending, and which t was desired to remove from the docket before the advent of Judge A. c. Baker.
 As arranged now, there are S1 cases awaiting the attention of the judicial body. Of this number there are but eight criminal cases, the remaining 73 being purely civil actions.
 Important Suits Pending.
 Several important suits will prob ably be decided this term. Among the number is the case of Greenlee county vs. Frank B. Laine.
 The decision that will be ren- dered will have a direct bearing upon the back salaries due state off cials under the new classification law. The action was instituted by the appellee, superior judge of GTeenlee county. against the board of super visors to determine the constitution ality of the measure.
 Another case that is attracting wide attention is the appeal that has been lodged in the supreme court by the Arizona Publishing company, publish CTS of the Arizona Republican. A judgment for damages was returned against the publication in favor of Adjutant General Charles Harris, who sued the paper for libel. The action was based upon an article alleging that Harris resignation had been asked by Governor Campbell. during the latter's previous term of office, because of seditious remarks the off cer was accused of making. A yer dict of S600O was rendered.
 Taxation Case Holds Interest.
 Mining interests are vitally con cerned in the tax suit instituted by the state against the inspiration Con solidated Copper company of Miami. The suit is the Outgrowth of a con troversy relative to the method of taxation imposed upon this class of property. Producing mines are as sessed by the corporation cOmmis- sion upon their intangible value" in addition to the valuation placed upon their equipment and property. It is the contention of the company that this procedure is unconstitutional, and that this form of taxation is un- justly discriminatory.
 The twin of this case is found in the suit against the International Smelling company. In this instance, the physical valuation of the plant was disregarded entirely In both cases a decision in favor of the min ing cases was rendered in the lower courts.

Useful Memorials

It is really cheering to find that the demand for suitable memorials of the great war is taking form in proposals for something better, be- cause more useful, than merely orna- mental statues. Some of these pro possls contemplate the construction of great public halls, of beautiful bridges, and of museums. There is no reason, of course, why art should not enter hand in hand with utility into the design of war memorials; in fact there is every reason why it should Christian Science Monitor

WAR ORDER MAKES HARRIS JOB SAFE
lRerIew Phoenix Bureaul

PHOENIX. Ariz.. Jan. 10.-Recogni- tion of all states adjutants general as officers of the national guard, with permanent commissions. has been pre- scribed by the secretary of war in an order issued December 23, copies or which have recently been received at the capitol The new order preseriDes that the adjutants general of the Vari- ous states shall wear the uniform Of an officer of the national guard, not in federal service.
 Under the new ruling of the secre- taTy of war it is likely that legislation similar tO the Arizona military code will have to be enacted by many of the states. In the case of Arizona no change in existing laws will be neces- code of Arizona already provides that sary, it is believed. The military code of Arizona already provides that the adjutant general shall hold a con- mission as an officer of the national guard.
 While no expression has been forth coming from Adjutant General Harris in view of the newly promulgated or der of the secretary of war, it is not believed that he regards same with any degree of dissatisfaction, and while it in no way alters his status under the Arizona military code, his friends are frank to say that they be- lieve he will urge the recent action of Secretary Baker as further evi- dence tending to support his conten- tion that he can be removed from Of flee only by death or by court martial by the general staff.

PATHFINDERS WILL
 TOUR THIS STATE
lRevIew Phoenix Rureaul

PHOENIX. Ariz.. Jan. 10.-AriZOna is shortly to be visited by the path finding committee appointed to in- vestigate the feasibility of a federal highway through this state from Fl Paso to Los Angeles, constructed un- der the provisions of the Bankhead federal aid act. R. A Kirk. of this city, is in receipt Of a telegram stating that the committee will arrive here in the course of a few days.
 The highway through this state will follow the old BordeTland route if the recommendation of the pathfinders is favorable. Among the important points on the route are Tucson, Phoenix. Bis bee and Douglas. Arrangements have been made here to entertain this com mittee and supply the members with data relative to the desirability of this plan and an effort is being made to have the other cities and counties affected cooperate in this endeavor.
 No Definite Date Set
 No definite date has been set rO- the arrival of the federal inspectors. T. s. Plowman, president of the Bank head Highway association, has an- nounced the call for a meeting of the board of directors for the purpose of selecting its representatives on this tour. It is expected that the delegates chosen will commence the trip without delay.
 Prompt action is necessary since the survey must be made and reported before the third annual convention of the association occurs. This will take place at Mineral Wells. Texas, April 1919. at which time the location of the highway through the southwest will be definitely fixed. Whether Ari- 2Ona will participate in the benefits of this federal construction and to what extent will depend upon the az gressiveness with which the various civic organizations press their claims during the course ot the tour of in- spection proposed.
