LAWYERS WANT A
 NEW CONSTITUTION.
Arkansas Bar Association Says Venerable, Moss-Grown Con- stitution of State Should
 Be Sent to Rear.

city last night, went on record yesterday as favoring the calling of constitutional convention for the purpose of drafting a new state constitution.
 This recommendation, con- tained in a report of a committee on law and law reform, was adopted by the association by an almost unanimous vote after many of the members had de- nounced in strong terms what the committee termed "our ven- erable and moss-grown eonstitu- ,tion."
 The adoption of this recom- lmendation and the election of officers constituted the most i'm portant business of the second days session of the lawyers, and after hearing various other re- ports and discussing the advisa- bility of providing for oral argu- ments in the supreme court the association adjourned until next year.
 After adjournment the mem bers were given a trolley ride to the Country club, where dinner was served. The banquet which was to have closed the meeting last night was not held on ac- count of the serious illness of Chief Justice Bunn of the su- preme court.
 At the afternoon session the following officers were elected by the association for tke ensuing year:
 President Allen Hughes, Jonesboro.
 Vice President Daniel Hon, Waldron.
 Secretary Arthur Neill, Lit tie Rock.
 Treasurer Judge P. c. Dooley, Little Rock.
 Executive Committee Morris M. Cohn, Little Rock, chairman; John T. Hicks, Little Rock; Jos eph M. Stayton, Newport.
 The question of calling a con- stitutional convention came up at the morning session, and the discussion occupied a large part of the forenoon. It was brought up by the report of the commit tee on law and law reform, which was as follows:
 'Your committee on law re- form would respectively report that we have had the matter under consideration, and the sub- feet is too large to enter into de- tails in this report. It appears to us that the greatest difficulty is in our ven- , Arable and moss-grown constitu- ton, which hampers every at latempt at progress and improve Tment.
 "0ur first recommendation would be that the next leglsla- ture call a constitutional conven- ton, composed of a small number of members, for the purpose of drafting new constitution that will meet the demands of grow ing state and be elastic enough to permit the people to tax them- selves for schools and improve ments and keep in pace with our sister states.
 Tn the matter of statutory re- 1. forms we suggest that the law of perjury be amended so as to. punish false swearing in court, whether Che fact sworn to be material to the issue or not. Re- spectfully submitted,

A serious accident was nar- rowly averted at the depot this morning. Mrs. Diaz, accom- panied by one of her little sons, had started to board the passen- ger coach of the local, which was standing in front of the depot. At the time she reached the steps a box car, which was being switched on to the main line, struck the standing cars with great force. The little child was knocked down, but fortunately was not hurt. It might have been very serious had Mrs. Diaz and her little son been even six inches nearer the track. Bates vile Bee.
