PHOENIX, Jan. 19,-P)--The storm
which has been gathering over the
University of Arizona for more than
year broke late this afternoon when
President Cloyd II. Marvin and four
dered their designations to Gov Geo
w. +. Hunt
In explanation of His resignation,
E. T.. Ellinwood, chancellor of the
board, said that "the discord and dis
sension which exists among some of
the members of the board is real and
irreconcilable." President Marvin is
sued statement to the effect that
recent changes in the personnel OF
the Board OBVIOUSLY establish a board
which will be unsympathetic to the
plans of the administration
President Marvin assumed the presi-
dency of the university in September,
1922, going to Tucson, site of the uni
versity, from the southern branch Of
the University Of California. A flare
up in the relations between the presi-
dent and faculty occurred last summer
when the Tucson Ministerial associa-
tion, backed by group Of dissident
members Of the faculty, brought
charges against Dr. Marvin that, he
had disrupted. the morale of the fac
ulty and student body" He was ex-
onerated of the charges by the board
of regents following a series of hear
ings.
The other members of the board who
resigned are Judge J. II. Campbell of
Tucson, J. j. Corrigan of Phoenix and
Cleve w. Van Dyke of Miami. The
resignation of President Marvin was
presented to Ellinwood, and was trans
mitted to the governor along with his
own resignation and statement de-
ploring the necessity of the action.
The recent changes in the person
nel' of the board, mentioned by DR..
Marvin apparently referred to the rer
cent appointment to that body of J. f.
Crider of Superior and Mrs. Theodore
Marsh of Nogales, both bitterly OPP
posed to the president of the univer-
sity Crider formerly had been con-
nected with the university and had
been among the opponents of the pres
dent at the hearings conducted by the
board last summer. Mrs. March, prior
to her appointment, said she would
not accept the position if DR.. Marvin
We're retained as president.
Ellinwood's letter of resignation was
tcrse. Addressed to the governor, it
saluted him with Sir" and stated
simply: Il hereby tender my resigna-
tion as member of the board of re-
gents of the university, to take effect
upon your acceptance of the same"
In a supplementary letter, however,
the chancellor said;
I'm rendering to you my resignation

MEXICO CITY, Jan 10 M)-A1-
though Official comment from the
Moxicap government was field In
abeyance today, all circles in the
capital eagerly discussed reports
from Washington that Secretary or
State Kellogg has indicated that he
is in favor of arbitrating the diff
ference between Mexico and the
United States. The foreign office
POINTED out that it had no official
communication indicating Secretary
Kelloegs Willingness for arbitration
cf the question. The feeling in offi-
cial circles is that it is difficult for
the Mexican government to commit
itself on the matter until it has
definite suggestions including ue-
tails of which precise points woul0
be arbitrated and how.
Almost invariably the Individual
reaction to the Washington reports
CT Secretary Kellogg's attitude was
one of relief. The feeling was pres
cpt that the situation has been made
.eSS acute, but, after reflection and
the subsistence of the first flush of
optimism, there was distinct
growth of more cautious attitude
=: restraining emotion and of not
becoming too hopeful Until more de-
finite prospects of arbitration ma
terialize. The oil situation itself
meanwhile, appears to be marking
time, little actual developments tax

PHOENIX, Jan. Is. up - Expendi-
lures by the various departments Of
the state government thrust tslem-
selves into the foreground in the legis-
lature again today when Senator kim
ney of ella county introduced reso-
luton designed to clarity the law re-
lating to the amount of the indebted

legislative committee, presented by it's
chairman, Brooke of Yavapai, for au-
thority to Investigate the financial af-
fairs of the bureau of vocational edu-
cation which, according to the state
budget, has failed to make a financial
statement and has not asked the
legislature for an appropriation.
Senator Sutter of Cochise, chairman
of the committee on highways and

morrow to begin consideration of the

highways committee - empowered to
receive the report--will be executive,
and the statement from the depart
inent which, in its bill for financial
rehabilitation, disclosed deficit OF

Governor Hunt said today he APP
proved the Kinney resolution which
was referred to the judiciary commit
tee. Quoting a section of the state
constitution which fixes the indebted
ness of the state at $350,000, and an
other from the financial code which
forblds any officer. board or depart
ment to incur debts exceeding appro-
priations, the resolution asks the ju-
dietary committee to inform it whether
any Officers or agents" of the state
have contracted debts in excess of the
$35O,O0O.
The resolution says that it has beer
made to appear to the eighth legisla-
ture that liabilities have been incurred
by state agencies grossly in excess OF
the amount of budgets appropriated
for such agencies By the preceding
legislature or legislatures of the state
OF Arizona and that in the accounts Of
such state agencies there now exist

though Secretary kellogg has an
