Congressman II. D. Flood is a mem
Der. of the commission. This COM
mission was appointed bv the state of
Virginia to push collection of Vir-
ginia's claim against this state. AS
this debt has always been repudiated
by West Virginia the demand will
almost certainly be refused.
Following in the footsteps of everv
Legislature that has preceded it for 80
years. the BODY now in session last
week adopted joint resolution de-
claring that West virginia owed no
part of the dept of Virginia and would
not even consider assuming any of
it.
The Virginians say they expect to
be able to show West Virgipia's just
liability with such clearness that the
officials will recommend steps toward
its assumption. but it is probable
that they only came to make formal
demand before entering suit in the
United States court against this state.

He was brought to the lookup and
searched, and in his pockets were
found number of skeleton keys and
a bottle of chloroform. He was given
hearing before Mayor Minghini

his account of himself was of such an
unsatisfactory nature that he was held
for the grand jury at the next term of
court. where an effort...will be made
to secure an indictment on ascharge of

Fisher gave a rambling and discon-
nected explanation for his actions, and
said the chloroform found in his pocket
