EXPECTED DEATH MAY
CALL FOR LEGISLATORS BACK.

RICHMOND. VA. March 16.-Dur-
ing one of most solemn and impress
sive gatherings of the general as
sembly a resolution was adopted by
the house this afternoon directing
the clerk to notify all absent men,
bers TO return to Richmond not later
tnan tomorrow night.
The resolution was in the form of
a joint motion and will probably be
acted upon by the senate tomorrow.
II was offered by Colonel Stubs and
read as follows:
Being appraised of the desperate
illness of Hon. John Warwick Dan
iel. United States senator and de-
rise is momentarily expected, the
members in attendance upon the leg
islature of 1910. feel that they are
expressing the spontaneous wish of
all virginians in urging tne legis-
lature to be in session in order that
the Representatives Of Virginia may
be enabled by proper resolution and
by their personal presence to pay the
last honor TO the last representative
in national affairs that links Vir-
ginias present with the glorious and
splendid past.
Therefore, be II resolved. That the
clerk OF the house be instructed TO
Immediately use all efforts in order
that a sufficient number Of members
be present on Thursday, the seven
teeBth. to extend the session in &c
cordance with the constitutional pro-
visions for the extension OF the
session Of the general assembly"
The impression prevails that ex-
Governor Swanson will be chosen 10
succeed Senator Daniel il action by
the general assembly shall become
necessary.

ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS
BY HUMAN SMASHED
After His Flying Start in the Two
Hundred Horsepower Machine Old
field Dashes over Track an indis-
tinauishable Blur of Roaring Flame
and Smoke.

rATONA. FLA. March l6.-
Barney Oldfeld driving against time
from a flying start in POO horse
l.ower Benz automobile of special de-
sign. covered the fastest mile this al
ternoCn ever travelled by a human
being His time was 27:33 HOO
seconds. Nothing projected into space
by man save a bullet ever has trav-
eled $3.50 feet at equal speed.
The previous record was set here
four years ago by Marriott. who drove
a special Stanley steamer one mile
in 2S:1-5 seconds. at an average
speed CT 1916 miles an hour. Old
fields average today was 1912.
Returning to the starting line be-
car by Hemmery on the Brookfields
Oldfield again launched his great car
from a standing start for a mile
against time and crossed the finish
line with another record. His time
was 40:53 HOO seconds as against
lI:23-l00 seconds made with the same
car by Hemmery on the Brookfileds
track in England.
His Great Flight.
In the flying start effort Oldfield
came down the rock-like surface OF
The track to the starting line. an in
distinguishable blur of roaring flame
and smoke. Almost before the over
taxed mechanism Of the eye had adj
lusted itself to the changing per
spective of mis- approach. he already
was in the dwindling distance and
almost before the brain had translat-
cd the impression Of sense into
thought. he had crossed the finish
line.
The timing fer both races was done
