Supreme Court Now Has Suit Be-
tween the yirginias.
Mr.. CARLISLE. PUTS A POSER
Says " Agreement Between the State.
Is Not Valid, Then They Are
Not in the Union.

Argument in the debt settlement
case of Virginia VS.. West Virginia, has
been concluded in the supreme court
at Washington, After the arguments
had been concluded counsel for
Virginia asked for end was granted
leave to file a supplemental brief to
cover the new ground of demurrer ON
the part of West Virginia, as set forth
in the amended demurrer filed by the
defendant.
Major Conrad said counsel for the
defense had maintained that West Vir-
ginia was absolved from liability for
the unfunded portion of the old bonds.
He denied that statement. and held
that she was merely holding them as
trustee, and that if Virginia failed to
take all the proper steps for the adj
justment of the matter, the holders
of the certificates could certainly de-
mand the return of the unpaid portion
of their bonds and then hold Virginia
for their satisfaction. He declared that
Virginia alone has the right to demand
exoneration, and that 1t is in the prov
ince of the. court to give it. He as
serted that all controversies of what
soeyer nature arising between two
states can be adjudicated by the SUI
preme court.
He said that even assuming the DR..
Jeckyl and Mr. HYDE performance
whereby the Virginia of today was
made the West Virginia of tomorrow
were legal and constitutional, that still
West Virginia was subject to the juris-
diction of the court in suit for an
adjustemnt of the accounts of the two
states.
