GOVERNOR
CONFIDENT
THAT AMENDMENTS ARE CON-
STITUTIUNAI-HE DISCUSSES
THE POINTS THAT HAVE
BEEN RAISED FROM HIS OWN
STANDPOINT.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. H.
Governor Dawson does not believe
that objections raised to the valid
ity OF constitutional amendments
now being considered by the legis-
lature are we'll taken To CORE
spondent he said he had no doubt
that the Legislature was authorized
TO consider and submit as many
amendments as 1t sees fit. The mat
ter was one of the chief topics OF
conversation, many able lawyers ex-
pressing the opinion that the OBJ
jections were sound.
II have looked into this matter
carefully and see no reason why the
legislature cannot pass upon consti-
tutional amendments, or even sub
init an entire new constitution If Il
sees fit" said the governor.
The objection is that ] should
have specified the amendments to
be submitted, instead Of using a gen
eral term giving authority for con-
sidering any amendments which may
be introduced. The objection, Il
seems to me. is not well taken.
Section 10 of article 6, of the
state constitution, says: The gov
ernor may convene the legislature
by proclamation whenever. in his
opinion, the public safety or welfare
shall require It,
Section 7 Of article z, says: The
governor may, on extraordinary oc-
casions convene at his own instance.
the legislature, but when SO con-
yened IT shall enter upon no bust
ness except that stated in the proc
lamation by which It was called to-
gether.'
These provisions are very plain.
and. it seems to me. give the legls-
lature ample authority to consider
all constitutional amendments. the
governor having given them the au-
thority. There is no limitation re-
curing specific matters to be men
TONED. so Ear as I can see. The leg
stature Is limited to business stated
in the call, and part OF that bust
ness Is amendments TO the constltu-
ton"

Of WOMEN IN
SWITZERLAND

Geneva, Switzerland. Feb. H.
Although Switzerland is a country
noted for liberal ideas. its women
have but recently inaugurated a
woman's movement. During the past
ten years the development OF the
woman movement in Switzerland
has been marked. In some parts OF
the country the parish vote has been
given to women: they have been
elected to the supervisory commit
tees of public hospitals and peni-
tentaries, and educational commit
tees. They accept the offer of a par
liamentary committee to give their
views on the revision of the penal
code. and their recommendation In
clude better protection for young
and children. and the independence
of the married woman. as regards
her own property.
These reforms have since been
Kept before the legislature. bv
speeches and petitions. and will no
doubt be soon enacted.
Although suffrage is now a def
mite part OF the woman's movement
the Swiss women intend TO work
gradually to accomplish their aim.
Step by step" is the motto of the
Berne Woman's Conference I'm the
matter of reforms. The conference Is
AFFILIATED with the Swiss Women
Societies, and both organizations are
working in the interests particu-
larly of working women. children
and the poor. Two reforms that have
been accomplished. are the raising
OF the age OF consent, and the adj
mission OF women to sickness in
surance societies. This latter Is n
boom to the woman, especially as
the insurance includes childbirth
The law insists on abstention for
some weeks before and after child
birth, but until this insurance was
arranged, this pressed very hardly
on the poor working woman.
Many Swiss women are engaged
IN teaching and others are taking up
hospital nurglng and medicine. A
large number are employed in banks
and insurance offices. There are n
few lawyers and architects and one
civil engineer.

n. & ". REINsTATES
TEN FREIGHT CREWS
LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IS
GIVEN, HOWEVER, AT HEAD
QUARTERS.

Many stories have been afloat re-
Gently in regard to further and more
recent reductions in the Norfolk e.
western ranks in this city, but in
quiry at headquarters failed to sub
stantiate them to any material ex-
tent.
AT the West End there has been
an increase, owing to the increased
shipments OF coal. The increase has
been so marked as to include about
ten freight crews. who were rein
stated within the past week.
A well-knOwn coal operator OF the
West Virginia fields, who has been
spending several days in the city.
stated to a World reporter that
there was every indication of a
gradual resumption Of work in the
fields.
In few of the departments Of
the shops a few men have been tenn
porarily suspended, and the en-
ployes were given only three DAYS
TINS week.
But little encouragement is held
out at headquarters. The decrease
OF net earnings not only OF the Nor
folk e. Western, but of all other
roads in the country. has been
greater within the past few months
than was ever before known, and
the policy Of the road is to decrease
operating expenses IN proportion.
This has been done so far by n
lessening Of time and the suspension
OF labor rather than through a re-
duction Of wages, but II IS broadly
limited that II conditions do not i'm
prove that the management may
have to resort to a lowering of
wages In order TO meet the required
shrinkage in earnings Roanoke

is well constructed, and affords op-

There is enough interest in the
development of the story to attract

AMERICAN
REINSMEN
To ENTER

st. Petersburg, Feb. I4.-First
entries closed today for the Interna-
tional Prize. the first trotting event
to be arranged in Europe that Is
open TO the world. Several Ameri-
can-bred horses have been entered
and more are expected before the
final entry day, July IA. The purse
offered has total value of $4,000
roubies, or about $4,000. A con-
siderable portion of this sum was
subscribed by the emperor.
The contest is 10 take place at
st. Petersburg some time in Febru
airy. 1909, under the management
OF the Imperial Society for the Pro-
motion of Trotting in the Land of
the Car. Very complicated condi-
lions govern the event. and there
are in all ten divisions of the money.
There Is an age limit. and all horses
must have been foaled prior to 1905.
stations foaled before 1895, mares
prior TO 1898, and all geldings are
barred
There is a sliding scale of en-
trance fees, the lightest being for
those made mp to today, which is
80 roubles and 3O5 roubles due the
day before the race. Any entries
made after today up to July IA cost
800 roubles then and the additional
305 the day prior to the contest.
If an owner comes after that he has
until three days before the event,
when 1t costs 5000 roubles to en-
ter and the additional sos two days
later.
The terms of the contest will
hardly appeal to those who like
sure enough battle between fast
horses. The distance is one and
half versts, equal to one mile. Each
trotter goes two trials alone over
the course, in which the time is re-
corded and the prize is awarded ac-
cording to The fastest mile covered
The best time will secure first
money, which is 5000 roubles, and
there are awards OF 500 roubles
each TO the breeder and owner OF
the successful horse.
For the second fastest mile the
money is 5000 roubles, and graded
up to the tenth, with premiums for
the breeder and owner in each in
stance. The driver of the winner
gets a gold watch for his skill, and
probably a medal, as the Russians
bestow numerous trinkets on the
professional reinsmen that compete
on their tracks
Finally, there is a handicap for
horses bred outside of Russia; whicli
virtually means America, from
where most of the fast trotters over
there have been obtained. Native
Orloffs get the best of 1t in the in7
ternational race, and even those who
are only partly bred from foreign
strains must concede two seconds
to the home product.
