APPROPRIATION, OR
 THEY GET NJ PAY

Unless the legislature sees fit to- make an appropriation the claims of the salary of the secretary to the state fair commission, amounting to $1462.50; the salary of the assistant secretary, S975, and the salary of the superinten- dent of the fair grounds, $500, will not be paid. In view of the fact that the fund appropriated for the state fair maintenance fund was exhausted be- fore the claims were filed, Attorney General Galbraith yesterday advised Charles Fairfield, state auditor that he was without authority to draw the warrants for payment and that the state treasurer would have no authority or power to pay the same.
 In his opinion the attorney general cites the law as follows:
 Section of chapter 152. session laws of Arizona. 1919, makes it unlawful | for any officer of the state to enter | into any contract or contract Sny debt [ or obligation whereby the result Of such action is to create any debt, lia- bility or claim which wll, when all prior claims. debts or liabilities hy the same state agency made or created for payment from that same fund. exceed the specific appropriation for the spe- cific purposes for which the fund in
 such case was created, and that all such excess debts. claims or liabilities shall be void to the amount of such ex- cess and shall not be paid from any
 state fund whatever.
 Section 1 of chapter 152 of the ses-
 sion laws of 1919 provides that nc
 money in excess of the amount spe- ciffcaly named in the appropriation made for any purpose shall be avail able for such purpose. ooject CT use

FIND PISTOL NEAR
 SCENE OF TRAGEDY

TEMPE, Jan. 21-While some boys were playing ball on a vacant lot on Sixth street near the Baber-Jones store Thursday, they found a revolver and some .3s calibre cartridges party buried. It is believed by a number of people that this weapon was either lost or hidden by a participant in the terrible tragedy of January II, when c. M Spangler and Ernest Hintze were killed and H. c. Baber was seriously wounded. Several people who were among the first to reach the scene of the tragedy always have felt that more than two bandits were implicated in the crime

THE PENALTY OPENS
 AT THE STRAND TODAY

"The Penalty" with Lon Chaney in the famed characterization of 'Bliz- zard," begins it's engagement at the Strand this afternoon. Gouverneur Morris story in it's picturized form, it is said, has reached the very zenith of dramatic possibility. From all over the country the most flattering reports have reached Phoenix on this Goldwyn super feature. It is perhaps as wen if rot better known than any of the nov els this gifted author has ever written. and the picture likewise bears the dis tinction of being the first time in screen history that a legless man is featured as the central character.
 Blizzard is without question one of the most unique fiction characters in American literature. A wreck phys ically, he was an intellectual giant mentally, and was the head of one of the most feared organizations in San Francisco. His entire life had been perfected to the perfecting of a scheme which, when completed, Blizzard hoped would cause all the city to pay for the wrong done him in childhood a wrong that forced him to go through { life helpless cripple.
 The climaxes are particularly strong,
 and are exceptionally well defined
 The continuity-that element always striven for by scenarists-is in this production at all times clear and def mite, each situation building steadily
 to the final denouement which is is said surpasses any dramatic production in recent releases. The Strand an lnounces the production will be screened without advance in prices, and urges wherever possible that attendance he
 made during the afternoon screenings

ashipwrecked Among sannibaIs,

"Shipwrecked Among Oannibals"
 A picture that is loo per cent enter tainmenti "Shipwrecked Among Can nibals' now playing at Mauk's Colum- bia theater, where it had its first show ing Thursday, went over the top as one of the most remarkable pictures ever filmed.
 This picture was taken among the Kia Kia Head Hunters, the cannibal inhabitants of Dutch New Guinea by Edward Laemmle and William Alder, two American moving picture men in search of novel film subjects who were shipwrecked on the shores of cannibal- land.
 The picture opens with scenes of their stunts on shipboard. Later, their good ship, Nautilus" springs leak and the water rushes in relentlessfy. Saving their camera they make for shore and find themselves the unher aided guests of South Sea Island man. eaters the Kai-Kei headhunters.
 Their introduction to the natives, the manner in which they were received, the cannibals bearing down upon them along the shore, a surprise attack, the cannibal slaughter ceremony, the Head Dance-the Kia Kia children with human skulls as their playthings, and every type of savage warrior are shown in the remarkable films with which the two men returned to civilization.
 There is not dull minute> to the pie ture and there are many times when you clutch your chair in suspense. No wild and woody" western was ever half so thrilling.
 l Are you acquainted with the mode of l living in a colony for girl art students | It's a highly interesting sight to see a score or more of pretty girls clad in l the back to- o-nature costumes used in these establishments. Many fine views of such a colony maybe seen in Solid Concrete" a Larry Semon comedy which will be shown at Mauk's Colum- bia theater today and tonight.
 Many laughable situations occur when the comedian and his pursuers rush in upon the unsuspecting girls as they are gathered about their easels in scant attire. One beautiful mode was posing as Venus when Larry jumped beside her on the platform. The pose was irretrievably spoiled, but Larry evaded his pursuers and has 2 rolliclzing good time with the girls un- til the instructor of the school appear: on the scene.

Charles Ray at the Hip

For the final showings today Charles Ray holds the Hip screen in his Para
 mount western classic, "The Sheriff's s Son." It's a mighty good drama of the early days on the plains and reveals the adventures that befell young fel- low whose father. as the sheriff, had been killed by the bad men. The boy had been elected to the office with the hopes that he will carry on in the mat ter of ridding the country of those responsible for the outrage, and how the boy takes up the task forms the meat of the story. Hoot Gibson in Superstition is the added attraction, offering another western bullet swift

The merry crowds who will gather to pay homage at the court Of happiness will find everything to their liking at ArizOna's largest and most beautiful dancing palace. Carol Reeds band-the same band that fur nished the music for the governor $ inaugural ball-dispenses the music at the Blue Bird. Clean dancing, respect ably and decently conducted, that's the policy of this popular establishment, and refreshments are to be had at all times during the evening. Cleanliness and efficiency are paramount factors with the refreshment service, another big item in the minds of those who ] ldiscriminate.

Last of 9Th. squaw Man" Tonight

Last of "The Squaw Man" Tonight
 With the bargain matinee today at 2:30 o'clock and the performance to- night at S:1O o'clock, The Squaw Man" the thrilling and intense story of the west closes its engagement at the Ellzs theater and starting tomorrow at 2:3O o'clock the Brandon Stock company open their fourteenth successful week, offering the appealing sweet and wholesome comedy drama "The Sweet est Girl in Dixie"
 The new play is sparkling with bright clever comedy and the many melody numbers are injected at just the right places to enhance the value and not. detract from the very interesting story. The play also serves to introduce Miss May Roberts to the Phoenix playgoers. In securing Miss Roberts to augment the cast of the popular stock company, the Brandon brothers will be congrat- ulated. Her work will very soon intro
 duce her to the public and will prove in no unmistakable way her right to be accepted as one of Americas most popular and talented stock actresses. In "The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" Miss Roberts is cast in the role of an old
 negro Nanny" one of the good old | fashioned ante-bellum sort, a product | of America, a good dear old soul, one
 moment making you roar with laughter
 and the next compelling you to gentle tears. In this sort of character Miss Roberts is supreme, there being per haps but one who compares with her and that is Miss May Irwin. It is not
 alone in characters of this type, how
 ever that Miss Roberts will soon win l her way into the hearts of Phoenix
 playgoers, but also in plays and parts requiring the strongest of dramatic ability, finesse and experience There | is a very lively advance sale and two capacity audiences will welcome Miss
 Roberts to the Elks tomorrow.
