Chancellor Martineau Re fuses to Restrain Bond
 Election in Little Rock.
SUPREME COURTTO
 RULE ON QUESTION
Capital City Wants to Issue SloO,OOO Bonds for Establishment of Munici-
 pal Hospital Other Cities to Vote If Amendment Is Upheld.

Little Rock, Feb. 13.- Chancellor J. E. Martincau upheld the legality of the bond amendment, adopted at the last election, when he refused the application for an injunction to re- strain Mayor Charles F. Taylor from giving notices of an election on Apri. IA to determine if Little Rock shall issue bonds of $l50,o0o for the estab- lishment of municipal hospital.
 The ruling was made in the suit brought by w. R. Hilderth of this city, who attacked the legality of the bond amendment on the ground that it had not received majority of ali votes cast in the election. Plaintiff contends that the initiative and ref erendum amendment does not alter the constitutional requirement of a majority vote for the adoption Of an amendment.
 The bond amendment received 34,- 7S2 of the 95,323 votes cast on tlie proposition. The total vote in the September election was 135,317, and according to contention of plaintiff for the bond amendment to have been adopted it should have received a majority of that number. Attorney Hal Norwood, represent ing MT. Hldredth, gave notice Of al appeal to the supreme court. This question was before the su preme court in another case, wher the legality of an amendment Wa' attacked, but was not decided at Una I time, the court holding the measur,
 in question illegai.S adopted on th' ground that only three proposed amendments can be submitted at on' l time.
 The outcome of the case is awaited | in all cities, as several are plannin: | to hold bond elections if the amend
 ment Is upheld.

Beginning tomorrow the oyster
dredging season on the lower Poto-

boats will start work on the beds from

catch will be good. The Potomac beds
are reported full of good, marketa BILE

Under the laws of Maryland and Vir-
ainia oyster dredging on the natural
rocks is legal until March Is next but
the tongers can continue until April 20.
From the last named date until the
18th of the following September it is
against the fisheries protection laws of
the two states to take oysters from
rivers or bay. To the laws, which are
In large measure enforced. is due the
great Improvement both in quality and
quantity of the oysters on the Potomac
beds.
For the past month the dredgeboats
have been in harbors making ready for
the dredging season and in the past
day or two they have gone to the
board at the earliest moment the law
allows. 1t is stated that the dredge-
boat masters are having difficulty in
securing crews for their boats, not
withstanding the fact that compare
lively few men are now needed, power
hoists and other appliances making big
crews unnecessary.
The men that formerly shipped for
the dredging season have gone to work
in munitions producing plants, it is
said. at much higher wages than they
could earn on oyster boats

month rent for a good many years. At
present he is renting a back step OF
the building to chestnut peddler for

offer from a hot sausage merchant for

while a real estate operator is trying
to buy the whole building for 100000.
Until recently the Stratford Hotel in

Lafayette was given a banquet there in

handicap of their time-honored con-

being offered for sale in HONEYWELL a
number of Petersburg business men
went over and watched the bidding.
One daring chap ventured to buy a lot

VISITING THE WAR
BRIDES.
V.-HOPEWELL.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

HORr.&ELL, Va, October 2e-You
approach the new city of HopeWeli
through a waste of timber ana broom
hedge. You are amazed to see TINS
wilderness extensively laid on IN Wloe
avenues and boulevards. designated by
freshly painted signs. There is not
house in sight. 1t looks as though
some one had planned a large city and
then neglected to erect so much DIS
chicken coop.
Suddenly the mystery is explained
tremendous battery of hundreo-1oo'
chimneys. belching smoke, looms ABOVE
the pine trees to your right, while TO
YOUR left is whole city of paper and
wood and corrugated iron steadily
marching into the forest under an
army of hammers. The next minute
you are in the midst of Americas new
est mushroom town, the city OF 3o,ooo
that grew in a year from the burrows
of a cornfeld-the war BRIDE, FL
Dorado, which is nowhere west or the
Mississippi, but right here in the Old
Dominion home of first families and
conservative traditions.
The first families of Hopewell will at
ford considerable bewilderment to the
future genealogist. Greeks and 1tal-
ians seem to have a strong grip on the
feed house and shining business. and
good many signs are in Greek; Jews
are as ever the merchants. Negroes
workers in the powder mills are proba-
bly, samples of every race that comes
by way of Ellis Island.
Hopewell is a muddled network of
narrow streets, churned into seas of
mud, linz d
Muddled Network with painless
of Wooden Shacks. wh,cb house
every trade and traffic known to man,
but with an astounding preponderance
of dance halls, cabarets, moving pic
ture shows, restaurants and hotels.
Throngs of every tongue and color pour
through the streets. The place re-
sounds with their babble of chatter and
shouting, the snort and squawk of jit-
neys that are always bringing more,
the tattoo of a thousand hammers
building houses to hold them, and the
mighty, murmurous undercurrent of
sound which is the whirr and roar of
the great mills that brought it all into
being.

spectability, Richmond and Petersburg,
and perhaps she has made them bit
envious. She is not. however, the den
of vice and disorder she has been rep
resented, and that she well might be,
considering her population and her
government by common consent. Wine,
women and song are here, to be sure,
but with the assistance of the strong
company police force. the Hopewellians
are gradually cutting out the wine and
women and confirming themselves to
song-chiefly of the mechanical variety.
Hopewell is split in two by a wide
and busy railroad yard, where it seems
to be miracle that men are not killed
every day. On the one side is the retail
and residential section. and on the
other side the powder plant, city in
itself The casual visitor is not well
come to visit this part. of Hopewel.
The fact is delicately intimated by the
presence of a ten-foot wire fence and
large force of armed men.
