NEW LAW TO BLOCK
 REMOVAL 0f U. OF A.
]. V Walker of Fayetteville To Offer Plank to Constitutional
 Convention.

Little Rock, April 23.-A constitu- tional provision to prevent removal of the University of Arkansas from Fay etteville will be submitted to the con- stituticnal convention when it convenes in June, according to information re- ceived from Fayetteville Tuesday: The proposed measure will be submitted by J. V. Walker of Fayetteville, it was said csI
 While the proposed measure osten- sibly would be to preY1nt removal of any State InstitutioA from places where they are ne-~ located, the prim- ary purpose cfg the proposed clause would be to prevent the removal of the university from Fayetteville to Little Rock.
 A bill providing for removal of the university was introduced in the last legislature, but was defeated in the Senate by a narrow margin. Another effort will be made in the 1919 legisla- ture, if the proposed constitutional clause is not adopted. It is probable the removal measure will be submitted to the people.

Of course, the entire interior will be repainted and decorated, and we will install the lat est fixtures for indirect lighting of the building by electricity.

 The Walker company will also have the entire second story of the building, the lower floor of which is occupied bv the Howell Grocery com pany, and Goldweber, the ladies' tailor. Altogether, thW> new quarters will pro vide more floor space, the need for which Knox Walkers growing busi- ness has long emphasized.

The firm will continue to use the two warehouses in West Barraque.
