Washington, May 20.-Practicaliy
the entire Virginia delegation In Con-
gress will leave Washington either to-
morrow afternoon or early Wednesday
morning to attend the state Democra-
tic Convention at Norfolk. In many
respects this convention will be the
most interesting which the State has
seen in many a yea. though from
what was said this afternoon. neither
Underwood nor Wilson VIII be in
dorsed. nor Will they have the satisfac-
ton of seeing the delegates receive
instructions for them.
Congressman Flood. who in all
proba bility will te made one OF the
big four to Baltimore. spoke inter-
estingly to-day concerning what the
oonv ention might do.
Il do not believe that the conven-
tion will either indorsc or instruct
said Mr.. Flood. al the same time.
do not think the Wilson people will
run away with the cO,., ention. This
will I've the first time that have ever
differed on such matters with Richard
Evelyn Byrd leader Of the Wilson
forces in Virginia, wh1 is my brother
in-law. but we certainly disagree on
the Wilson proposition.
MFR. Byrd and have always stood
firm in everything since we have hcen
in politics, and it will be a stranee
thing if he votes against mo for Il
delegate-atlarge, and / should have
to vote against him.
Another peculiar ,aing is that |
have a nephew. a son az Dick" Eyrd,
who will also in all probability have
TO vote against me as n delegate"
Aside from what Mi FOOD said, IL
is learned that the fgh, between the
Wilsoi and the Underwood people Will
be bitter one. There are TWO or
three members of the Virginia delega-
tion in Congress who arc going TO the
convention to stand ny Wilson TO the
last. while the Underwood people are
just as determined to sec that the Ala :
bama Congressman gels all that Is
coming to him"
In addittn to this. there is some
Harmon feeling in Virginia. and this
may come up in the convention. Con-
gresham Lamb is one Of the strongest
Harmon supporters in the House. and
he doubtless will be heard from.
1t is not known yet whether Senator
Martin Will be able Ia leave Charlottes-
VILE for "a long enough time to he at
the convention. but private letters re-
ceived by his friends here arc to the
effect that II Mrs Martins condition
permits IL he will be there.
Senator Swanson and others Will
leave with Mr.. Flood tomorrow after
noon IT now looks as u the tight Will
be one OF Flood against Byrd for con-
troll of the convention. F. III, MEG.

FOR PASSAGE
OF CAME.LAW
IS TO Be INTRODUCED
IN NEXT SESSION OF LEGISLA-
TURE. E. V. ViSART WORK
ING FOR PASSAGE.

Little Rock, Oct 3.-Another effort
will be made at the next session of the
Legislature to secure the passage of
a game law, for the protection of the
fish and game of the State.
A bill has been drawn which will be
introduced early in the session, and E.
V. Visart of this city, who has been
devoting several years to the subject of
game protection, accomplishing much
with little support, is circulating a
petition among the farmers and 9TH
ers asking for the passage of the bill.
When it is understood, he finds that
there is practically no opposition to
it.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment of three commissioners by the
Governor, with the consent of the
Senate. One shall be we'll versed in
game conditions, one well versed in
fishing, and one shall be an expert
forester. They may appoint such dep
uties as they may consider necessary
to enforce the law. The chairman
shall receive salary of $1,000 year.
and the other commissioners a per
diem while on duty. The deputies
shall receive SIS month and expen-
SeS.
The license fees shall pay all expen-
ses of the commission, and the work
shall never be a tax on the general
revenue. There is fee of 81 for res
ident hunters and fishers and SIS for
non-residents. Farmers may hunt on
their own land and their children may
hunt on their license. The license
covers hunting and fishing and is for
one year. Arkansas is the only state
that has no hunters license law.

NOMINEES SLOW
TO FORWARD FEES

Little Rock, Oct 4.-Messrs. Floyd
and Taylor are the only nominees who
have yet paid the secretary of state
the necessary fee to have their names
certified out for the congressional
election. The time for them and the
presidential electors expires 20 days
before the election. The fees for cleo
tors is $3.50 each, and for congress
men $40 per county.
Secretary of State Hodges an
nounces also that there seems to be
frequent Misunderstanding about
fees for commissions. District officers
are required to pay SIS, sheriff and
county and circuit clerks $40 each,
county judge and assessor 50 each,
and all other county officers and JUS
tees of the peace 81 each. No com
missions are issued by the secretary
to constable and road overseer, who
derive their authority from the coun-
ty Judge.
