GAMBLERS RAISE QUESTION
Whether Alexandria County. Va,
Belongs 10 That State or Not

Washington. Oct. 23.-Does Alexan-
dria county, Va. just across the Po,o-
mae, belong to the District Of Columbia
or is it a legal part of the Old Do
minion? This remarkable question has
been raised in the efforts of the Alex
andria county authorities to suppress
poolrooms and gambling through the
enforcement Of the laws Of Virginia
The keepers of the resorts are resisting
on the ground that Alexandria county
WAS never lawfully retroceded To Vir-
ginia and that the whole county belongs
to the District of Columbia and i con-
sequently under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Government alone.
IL the contention OF the gambling fra
terniiy Is correct, nothing but q eonsti-
tutional amendment can atrolye Alex
sndria county from Federal jurisdiction
and make IL legally part of Virginia

HIGH PRICE OF LEATHER.
Situation Becoming Serious for Shoe
Manufacturers

New York, OFT. -. The advance in
the price of leather Of all grades, which
has been steady and continuous for the
past two months. has reached point
over which the manufacturers of leather
goods are taking alarm and beginning
to talk of raising prices all along the
line. Already the Chicago shoe manu-
facturers have advanced their prices 80
cents per pair, and there was talk here
to the effect that Eastern manufacture
ers would follow suit within few days.
Quotations have risen 80 persistently
and strongly and il is becoming appaT-
emily easy to get higher and higher
prices that unless wisdom and restraint
prevails between buyers and sellers
there is danger ahead.
