INJUNCTION ASKED
 AGAINST SPEAKER
REPRESENTATIVE GRANT OF JACKSON COUNTY ATTACKS
 AMENDMENT No.13.
ONLY PUBLISHED SIX WEEKS
Says Legality Should Be Determined Now Before too Late-shouId
 Be Printed Six Months.

western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-Rep. c. Love Grant. of Jackson county, sprung a surprise here when he filed a petition in the Pulaski County Circuit Court asking that temporary injunction be issued against Speaker Joe Hardage restrain. Ing him from declaring Amendment No. l3 adopted.
 The amendment limits the leeis. lative session to Go days. If was adopted at the recent state election by an overwhelming majority.
 The petition gives as cause for ac. ton the complaint that the amend. ment, which in effect limits the ses- sion of the legislature to 60 days. was published in the newspapers of the state only six weeks, when the law requires that it should bo published six months.
 The reason for filing the suit at this time Is that the question of whether or not Amendment No. 13 was properly submitted is being discussed throughout the state and much litiga- tion is being threatened over it." said Representative Grant If this legis- lature should pay no attention to whether the amendment was properly published and the speaker declare it adopted, it might be that in the flu ture certain acts of this session of the general assembly, or even of future legislatures, would be attacked and end in long and costly litigation If the amendment was properly publish cd for the length of time required by the constitution, then the courts should declare so. The constitution of 1874 requires that amendment be published for six months. Amendment No. 13 was published only six weeks If six weeks is the time they should be published, then it would be useless to spend thousands of dollars every two years to publish them for six months when six weeks is sufficient It can be tested at this time without cost to the people and at a time when no vested rights have interyened."

 The work of the department accord ing to MT. Hodges, has been handicap ped because of the removal of the office from the old to the new cap- itol in the first week of his admins tration. This move, he says, caused great deal of work and confusion and took two months to complete. The records of the department, he says. vera rearranged and reindexed, and the corporation papers relied and re- indexed. Also the licensing and regis tration of automobile owners, he points out, has added a great deal to the clerical work of the department.

 The determination of the committee followed the testimony of Dr. C. w. Richardson. who, after examining MT. Rockefeller, told the committee that although suffering from shaking palsy and unable to speak above a whisper the magnate could undergo a brief examination" if his testimony was of paramount importance He said that to submit the oil magnate to prolonged questioning might cause a hernorrhage or swelling of the larnyx which would stop his breathing.
 Dr Richardson said that he examin- ed MT Rockefeller at Miami, Fla, on Sunday, January 12.
 Dr, Richardson said that he found that the right vocal chord of the oil magnate was practically gone and that the left was badly affected. He said he found MT. Rockefeler's pulse 100 and his blood pressure 162. A writing test, he said showed that MT Rocke. feller, by continued efforts, could write only eleven words in two and one-half minutes. He said he found q condi- tion of what is mostly called shaking palsy" which made an examination by writing a practical impossibity.
 "l believe he could be subjected to a short examination orally without i'm mediate danger to his life," said Dr. Richardson, but a lengthy examina- ton would probably weaken his vocal chords to point where a serious swelling of the larnyx might be caused or hemOrrhage might result that would end in serious case"
