URGFS RECALL Bf:
 INCORPORATED IN NEW CONSTITUTION
Preacher Delegate from Pu- laski Presents Resolu-
 tion to Body.

Little Rock, July Eff proposal 1 submitted today to the constitu- tional convention by Rev. E. P. Alde 1 dredge of Pulaski county should pre-
 vail, all public officials will have to walk in the straight and narrow if
 they would save their official heads. The proposal follows:
 Every public official in the state of Arkansas is subject to recall and dismissal from office by the legal voters of the state, district, county or municipality from which he or she was elected, and the legislature or the people shall enact such laws and pre- scribe such methods of procedure and fix such penalties governing all re- call elections as will best safeguard
 and make effective this sovereign right of the people"
 It was referred to the committee oh. initiative, referendum and recall.
 R. F. Foster of Cleveland county was opposed to holding the convention. and was one of the leaders in the movement to adjourn. But since he has been voted down on that propo- sition, he insists that the convention should put in its time. He has in- troduced resolution to change the rules providing that the convention shall meet daily at 8 a. m. and 1 D. m. There is little probability of it's adoption.
 The first fight came up over the proposition to provide for a majority verdict in certain cases. The com mittee had proposed five-sixths of the jurors in all criminal cases, ex- cept capital cases, and in all civil cases. There were about 15 amend ments offered, and the entire fore noon was devoted to a discussion of the matter. /
 As finally adopted, the section reads as follows:
 "The right of trial hy jury shall re- main inviolate, and shall extend to all cases at law. without regard to the amount in controversy; but jury trial may be waived by the parties in all cases in the manner prescribed by law; provided in all misdemeanor cases and in all civil cases five sixths of the jurors may find 9 ver- dict: and in cases where verdict is found by less than all the jurors the verdict shall be signed by all jurors agreeing thereto"
 Delegate J. V. Walker of Washing ton county has revived the proposition which he submitted before the commit tees in April, designed to make it difficult, if not impossible to move the University Of Arkansas from Fay etteville. He offered an amendment to the article on the seat of govern ment to the effect that all public in- stitutions of the state heretofore To- cated or that may be hereafter located. shall remains as located. provided that such location may be changed for sufficient cause. But the existence of such cause shall be ascertained and declared in an action brought in the supreme court by those seeking the removal, for which purpose exclusive original jurisdiction is conferred upon tho c0nrf .E5sl1s.

 30 Divisions Overseas.
 Substantially 30 divisions are in France ready to meet whatever move the German staff has in preparation. Some of these divisions already have been formed into the first field army under Major General Liggett Others are holding trench sectors at import- ant points along the battle line and still others have been broken up and brigaded with French and British troops.
 Secretary Baker wrote the president that the supplies and equipment France for the 100000 men who have gone is shown by the latest re- ports to be adequate, and added "the output of our war Industries in this country is showing marked improve ment in practically all lines of neces- sary equipment and supplies"

 These facts were disclosed to news paper correspondents who visited the new army proving ground at Aber- deen. Md. as the guests of Col. w. A. Phillips.
