HEARING APRIL B
 FOR AMENDMENT
WILL BE INITIATED AGAIN
Legality of Governors Veto of Hartie Amendment to be Determined
 in Chancery Court.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, April "A hearing on the suit to restrain Secretary of State Ira Hopper from certifying the Hartje amendment to the state con- stitution will be had before Judge Martineau in the Pulaski chancery court on April 15, according to an agreement reached tooay.
 The principal question at issue is the legality of Governor McRae's veto of the amendment. Secretary Hopper, on the advice of Attorney General Utley, holds that the veto power of the governor does not ex- tend the amendments to the constitu- tion proposed by the legislature The governor attempted to veto the Hartje amendment, providing for the taxation of personal property by im- provement districts, for the purpose of leaving a place on the ballot for an initiated amendment prohibiting the enactment of local legislation.
 Little Rock, April 7.-Starting rather early, proponents of the pro- posed constitutional amendment to prevent the enactment of local legis- lutlon by the general assembly, are circulating a petition asking for the submission of the question in the cleo tion of 1924. Representatives of the Arkansas Bar Association will con- txY of the Hartje amendment which was submitted to the voters by the gen eral assembly,, but was vetoed by Gov, T. C. McRae in order that the amend mentfavored by the bar association might be submitted.
 Secretary of the State Ira c. Hop per has certified the Hartje amend ment out and it is now being publish ed. The law requires the publication of the amendments for six months, and the state official was forced to send out the publication before the courts had finally passed upon the right of the governor to veto the amendment, in order that the law be compiled with.
 Should the supreme court decide the Hartje amendment not legally submitted, it will be impossible to vote on the other, as it cannot be ad- vertised as required by law, before the general election. The Hartje amendment would require the collec- tion of taxes upon personal, as well as real property for local improve ments.
 The first petitions are being circul- ated in Little Rock, and it is probable the required number of signatures will be secured in this city, without the necessity of going on the outside, w. s. Mitchell, former owner of the Little Rock DemocRt is directing the circulation of the amendment. Few people are refusing to sign, those who decline give as the reason that no remedy is provided, the proposed amendment shutting off the enact ment of local legislation entirely without designating some tribunal o1 legislative body to give the relief sought by the localities.
 The Arkansas Bar Association has gone on record with the opinion that there is already sufficient machinery for the enactment of local legislation without taking up the time of the lepislature with if

Wise Old Vessels
Guard the Safety
OF Crews at Sea
Ships Possessed Of Good and
Evil Spirits, Is Belief of
Ancient Mariners; Cite In
stances of 'knowingness'

LONDON, Sept. 3 (By Mail). lit is
not wise to scott or to laugh in ones
sleeve at such notions as that of the
'knowingness of ships" says writer
in "The Nautical Magazine" the organ
of the mercantile marine officers,
quoted by "The Daily News"
Men have sailed in vessels and
have come ashore swearing that they
are possessed of an evil spirit.
There are ships which are more
than unfortunate; they seem to look
for trouble on their own initiative and
often succeed in finding it.
''But there are few sailors who do
not believe, little as they care to dis
cuss these matters, that ship is i'm
bued with something which makes
her almost sentient being.
81 think it is Conrad who tells the
story Of the ship which never failed
to answer the slightest touch Of her
helm, save on one occasion.
"And on that particular one, had the
course been changed as intended, she
would have run at a good ten knots
into huge chunk of ice, detached
from some disintegrating berg and
floating a few feet beneath the surface.
"As it was, she slid by, with the
deadly menace a biscuits throw from
her, and then answered her helm as

that sails out Of the Mersey and across
the western ocean.
Captain and officers cherish real
affection for her and passengers are
loud in praise of her.
"There was a cyclone on the eastern
side of the Atlantic.
"A French boat arrived at lie Havrc
with superstructure and boats damaged
and wireless antenn@ blown away.
after running before wind and sea for
eighteen hours.
Another passenger vessel from
America arrived in Plymouth Sound
buffeted and battered, reporting that
the weather had brought her to a
standstilP for day and q night, what
time heavy seas had caused consider
able damage.
"But our Liverpool friend is wise
old craft. She evaded the cyclone---al-
most. She just caught the tail end of
it and got a bit of a busting.
"You may argue that the captain re-
ceived wireless messages telling him of
the progress and anticipated course of
the storm.
"Of course he did. But so did the
masters of the other two ships; yet
they encountered the full force of it.
at must be that our ship from the
Mersey is one Of those good craft that
one hears of occasionally-one Of those
ships that know how to look after them
selves"
The writer denies that sailors are ro-
mantle, but admits that all ranks and
grades are superstitious and fatalistic.
But" he adds, "no one shall say that
it is harmful to any man that the sailor
has profound faith in his supersti-
tions. There may be something. in
them after all, for one gets very near
tc Nature in mid-ocean."
