TO ELECT PRESIDENT
FIRST EXECUTIVE HEAD OF UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.
Board of Visitors Will Meet n Wash ington Next Saturday to Make a Selection-Several Men
 Are Mentioned.

Washington, June 10.--(Special )-Wash- ington alumni of the University Of Vir- ginia are looking forward with keen in- terest to the election of President for the University next Saturday by the Board of Visitors.
 Never in its long history has the Uni- versity had a President. The executive duties have hitherto been performed by the chairman of the faculty and by the faculty.
 This was Thomas Jefferson's idea of university government. But today, many of the alumni say the University. like all other large corporations needs busi- ress head who will give his whole time to the executive government of the in- stitution. Smaller colleges, they say. have gone ahead of the University in the matter of endowments and the subscrip- tion of funds for new buildings because their executive officers have kept in touch with the alumni.
 For several years the struggle has been going on between those opposed to the election of President and those con- tending for the creation of such an off, was hard fight over this question. This year, however, the Legislature of Vir- gfnia passed law permitting the Board of Visitors to elect a President
 Charles w. Dabney, President of the University of Tennessee, is thought to be the strongest candidate for the office of President. He is graduate of the University of Virginia and a man of great executive ability. During Cleve- lands administration he was Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. He has done much to bring the University of Tennes- see to its present high standard.
 Until recently John Bassett Moore, a graduate of the University of Virginia and a professor of Columbia University in New York, has been considered the coming President, although there was some opposition to him because he Is not solid on the negro question. It is said. however, that he will decline the election should 1t be offered him. His reason for not being candidate for the office 1t is said. is the fact that he is compiling a work on International law for the Government and he would not have time to continue this work and to fill the office of President
 The other prominent candidates are President Venab1e of the University of North Carolina and Colonel Miles of Bed ford, Va. President Venable is a son of the late Professor Charles Venable of the University of Virginia. He has had much experience as the executive head or university and is well thought of by the virginia alumni. R. A. Watkins.

May Be Unconstitutional.

The grand jury in it's written interroRa- tory asked whether or not the provisions of this act were violative of the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments of the Fed ernl Constitution.
 Judge Jones replied that this was 8 question that had received much thought in his professional life It was very i'm portant matter, he said, and one that he would give mature consideration. He said he would advise the jury at another time
 It is expected that Judge Jones will give the jury an opiinon on the sub ject today or tomorrow.
 juror asked If a Justice of the Peace gave a sentence fin excess of that author ized by law or wherein he had no Juris- diction and caused person to be put to hard labor. whether he would be guilty of causing the person Go be held in peon- age.
 Judge Jones answered that for an hon est mistake of Judgment or error of law the Justice of the Peace would not be had with the transaction.
 "How About Mistakes
 Another juror asked:
 How about Justice of the Peace who is In the habit of making such mistakes and turning persons over into peonage ?"
 Judge Jones replied that If the Justice acted in bad faith or cOrruptly in pur- Suanoe Of design to cause the parties to be put to hard labor. then he would be guilty of causing the persons to be held in peonase. He further said that a law full judgment lawfully imposed by which persons were put to hard labor was not violation of the law but no matter how perfect the proceedings were on their face they would afford no protection against indictment If the proceedings were a cloak or a fraud to cover up the Illegal design to cause persons to be held in peonage.
 The grand jury then retired and ad- journed until this morning.

SPORTING WORLD.

In view of the fact that the Pacific
Northwest baseball season Is to open
about two weeks earlier than was an
ticipated, Manager McKibben of the
Tacoma Tigers says his team will get
to work practicing about March 25,
instead of on April this year Nc
Kibben claims to have the fastest
outfield in the northwest this season.
Advices from Tacoma state that
Manager Garrett of the Spokane team
is long on pitchers and short on back
stops this year. which accounts for
his trading Pitcher BERTHE Mckay to
Tacoma for Catcher Zalusky. Tacoma
still has Backstop John King. who
made a hit with the Chicago National
league team last year.
