The General Assembly OF Virginia
met in extra session at noon on
Wednesday, under provision OF the
schedule OF the recent constitutional
convention, augmented by procla"
nation of the Governor, converting
the members to adjust the statutes OF
the State in conformity with the new
organic law and will remain In SEES
sion for an indefinite period, various
ly estimated at from six to nine
months. The work required OF the
body is more perhaps than any legis-
lature OF Virginia ever had before it,
and will call for the exercise Of all
the wisdom of the members II they
would render an account OF their
stewardship which will be satisfac-
tory to their constituents.
The question OF revising the stat
utes, 1t is stated, will be one OF the
first things which the Legislature
will have TO decide and how and by
whom the work OF revision will have
to be done, and spirited fights are
looked for early in the session as to
the manner OF appointing the com
missioners Of revenue and the boards
OF visitors of the State institutions
which was left to the General As.
sembly to decide by the Constitu>
tional Convention. A Congressions |
reRpportionment bill also is sure to
come to the front at the first oppor
tunity that is presented, as indicated
by the interest of the politicians at
this time in tie matter, and the
liquor question, no one has ever
doubted, will soon be On and fought
TO q finish by the liquor dealers, aud
those who believe, il license is 10 be
granted them, 1t ought to be regula.
ted according to their wishes and
with view to the best interest OF
all of the people Of the State. A bill
also to prevent the use Of money in
elections will not play an inconspic-
nous part in the deliberations OF that
body, but the most important SUBJ
jects to be dealt with, doubtless
are the new corporation commission
and the section dealing with taxa
tion and finance. These and various
other questions. which will be sub
mitted from time to time, indicate
the great and conflicting interests Of
the people Of the State and the wis.
dom that will be required OF the
members of that body If they would
adjust them in a way that will be
satisfactory to the great body of the
people Of the State, and how long it
will take to reach such an end Of

Hood River Athlete Won.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore,
May l0th.-The University of Oregon
track team today administered decisive
defeat to the athletes of Pacific Univer-
sity, the final score being SO to "a. An
unexpected rainstorm set in at noon,
spelling what promised to be an ideal
day for the meet. The track at Bang s
park was in soggy condition, fast time
being impossible. Both teams were in
fairly good shape, and had the weather
been favorable, some good records would
have been made. The Oregon men had
the situation we'll in hand from start to
finish, the final result never being in
doubt. In three of the events Oregon
captured all three places. Captain CA.
Payne of Oregon, won the three sprints,
his strongest competitor being Redmond
of his own team. Henderson, fresh
man, did clever work, winning the shot
put and broad jump, and tieing Thayer
OF Oregon for first place in the high
Jump. Mills was Pacific's best man,
winning nearly half the points scored by
his team.
Following is Henderson's score in the
games in which he participated:
l6-pound shot-put-Henderson, U. of
O., first ;Philbrook, P. U. second Barnett,
P. u, third best put, "a feet,
Running broad jump-Henderson, U.
OF o., won Lewis U. of o., second; At
