NEW COHSTITU7IUA
 AGAIN IN PROSPECT
JOINT LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE DECIDES TO REPORT FAVORA-
 ELY IN BEHALF OF NEW CODE.
WILL PROPOSE A REDRAFTING
To Eliminate Objectionable Features Before Submitting To Voters-Many Proposed Amendments Before
 Legislature.

To redraft the proposed constitu- ton, which the voters of Arkansas re gently rejected, to eliminate it's ob- jectionable features and then to sub init 1t to the people as an amendment to the present constitution-this is the recommendation that will be made to the legislature by the joint Committee on Constitutional Amend ments.
 This course of action was decided upon at a meeting of the >1mmittea. The plan was proposed by Represen- tative Kennedy of Sebastian county. The resolution adopted by the com nittee provides that Senator Grover Owens of Pulaski county, chairman of the joint Committee on Constitutions! Amendments, shall appoint a commit tee to redraft the proposed constiul- ton.
 MT. Kennedy called attention to the fact that between 15 and 20 proposed amendments have been submitted to the legislature. The legislature can submit only two, The Arkansas Stu preme Court has ruled that only three amendments may be submitted at one election. and one proposed amendment already has been initiated by peti- tion by the Arkansas Initiative and Referendum League.
 Before MT Kennedy's proposition came up the committee had selected fer favorable recommendation the proposed amendments providing for woman suffrage and for increasing the number of justices of the Arkansas Supreme Court. MT. Kennedy argued that the great number of proposed amendments submitted to the legisla- ture proves that the present consti- tuition is not satisfactory He eX- pressed the belief that a few objec- tionable features of the defeated con stitution were responsible for it's re lJection by the voters, and said he be. 1ieves that with these reatures eImi- mated. the constitution would be adopted.
 The plan is feasible one, Tn the opinion of r. N. Mehafly. who was president of the Constitutional Con yenJion, which drafted the constitu- ton recently rejected by the voters.

STOCK MARKET
QU|ET,BUT FIRM
Crop Situation Good, and
Future Looks Bright
To Traders.
By BRoAnAN WALL

New York, June 4. = After the
healthy shakeup of yesterday. stocks
were quieter today, but strength was
exhibited In nearly every department.
The professionals who engineered the
raid. with the aid OF bankers, were
pleased with the profits they gathered
IN, and the general public was not
disheartened. Such a thing had been
expected for weeks. and the only
wonder was that It did not happen
sooner 1t has left the market In
a strong technical condition. and the
future now looks much brighter. es-
pecially as the crop situation con-
tnues marvelously good. Irregular
ity must be expected for several days
until the great body of traders can
adjust themselves to the consequences
or the shock Brokers are more care
full.
General stocks Cheap.
Generally speaking. the stock mar
ket is not high. Most issues or
the list remain at prices that would
be considered cheap even under nor
NAL conditions. Railroad securities
are still at panic prices. The cop
per stocks. the Steels and most OF
the manufacturing company stocks
are at low levels. About all that
have climbed TO sensational heights
are few OF the motors and oils
and some OF the stocks representing
the clothing and food business. There
Is much justification for what has
been done in these issues, notwith-
standing their new high record
prices.
Many margin calls were made by
brokers as a result of the attack on
the market Tuesday. and customers
responded with surprising cheerful
ness. All recognized the market break
as teamwork, either deliberate or
accidental. between a few plungers
and the bankers, and accepted the
result philosophically.
Set New High Records
New high records for the year were
made by Wilson Packing. Ice, Amer
ican Sugar, and Car Foundry. Gulf
States broke 10 points when the divi-
dend was passed. General Cigars.
Harvester. and Ohio Cities Gas were
strong features. American Woolen was
highly excited, but generally strong,
because of a report that the company
would make an extra distribution In
Liberty bonds. Marines were stronger
than the Street expected them to be.
Rails were a strong feature of the
closing hour. under leadership of
Reading, and railroad bonds were
we'll bought, particularly Frisco 6s.
Lehigh Valley weakened when its div
idend was cut from 10 per cent to
per cent.
Owing to the many complaints of
manipulation on the Curb market. the
New York Stock Exchange governors
are considering a plan for a police
committee to supervise Curb business.
