Little Rock, March 30-The author ;tv of the governor of this state to veto joint resolutions adopted by the Legislature probably will be tested in the courts as a result of Gov. Me pae,s veto today of the Hartje reso- lution proposing the referendum of constitutional amendment to pro- ride taxation of personal property in improvement districts.
 Little Rock, March 30.-Gov. Me Rae today vetoed the legislative joint resolution proposing an amendment to the state constitution, providing for the taxation of personal property heated within improvement districts, and in it's stead intends to initiate for the third proposed amendment which will prohibit, or very much re- strict, the power of the Legislature to pass local or special legislation.
 Governor McRae also vetoed the bill appropriating $350,O00 for new buildings at the State University and declined to approve or veto the $808,- GOO appropriation for the state high way department.
 Another measure which the gover- nor also declined to take any action on was a bill providing for a tech nical survey of the University of Ar kansas. The governor said that he declined to either sign or veto this bill because it was not in accord with his ideas of a measure of this nature.
 The highway department appro- priation became a law immediately after the governor refused to veto or approve the measure.

KAYSER IS EASY
FOR HARRY GREB.
Baltimore Entry Gets Severe
Lacing From Johnny VIII

FLOYD GIVEN THE "RAZZ"
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE

"YoU just saw the next middle
/ - weight champion of the world in
action" grinncd George Engel ms Harry
Greb, of Pittsburgh. stepped lightly
! from the ring at the Ice Palace last
night. Harry had Just finished admin.
istcring a trouncing to Fay Kayser. Of
Baltimore-doing it niftily and nicely,
virtually making a punching bag of the
Marylande-.
Some time today definite facts will be
sent over the wires from the Madison
Square Garden, New York. giving in
formation Of a contest between Grcb
and johnny Wilson fifteen rounds to q
decision. A date is to be set some time
shortly after the first of the year.
Engcl's prediction will have to be
taken rather seriously, II Greb's exhbi-
ton last night can be taken as a critic.
! rion. II was the eighth meeting between
the Pittsburgher md Kayscr. Fay
would prove himself game guy if he
we're to step into the ring against Greb
again. Plenty is sufficient. and that
eighth meeting between them proved
that Fay is a gritty fellow to go up
against such n bombardment as he got
last night.
Kayser Slammed
Greb was all over Kayser like q cloak.
Harry slammed Fay with straight lefts
and with hooks, with right crosses and
with uppercuts. Either Kayser is
real rugged fistman or else Grcb's hitting
| powers are not much. But he punches
fast and often.
Starting with the first round Kay
ser's mouth and nose bled, and con-
tinucd SO until the finish Also Fav's
features were battered up pretty much,
both of his eyes being in mourning.

ser was pound lighter.
A near riot ensued when the semi
final between Jimmy Gibbons. 1913. and

the fourth round, Referee Frank Floyd.
for some reason or other, having dis
qualified the latter.
Several times Floyd cautioned Wcr-
ner for punching after the referee had
given the order to break. Between the
third and fourth rounds Booboo Hoff.
Georges manager. accused Floyd Of
giving his entry the worst of it when
breaking the boxers from incessant
clinches.
Hooted by Crowd
Shortly after the start of the fourth.
Floyd stepped between the boxers and
ordered Werner 10 his corner, ending
the contest. This decision met with the
disapproval of the crowd. and the air
was rent with cat calls. boots and q
lot of unkind words for the referee.
Up until the bout was interrupted
Werner was having all the better of the
muss. His punches to the body made
Gibbons hold and raised his knee sew
eral times, indicating that Jimmy was
being hurt.
Lonnie Tucker proved false alarm
and his match with Joe Rooms was
stopped in the second round. Willie
Allen was a winner over Artic Nc
Cam: and Billy Pimpus, who looks like
a promising youngster, knocked out
Johnny Mcdonald in the first round.
