WILL END DEBT SUIT
IntimatiOn to This Effect Is Given
Out In Richmond.
THE .NEGoTIATI0Ns ARE SECRET
And May Result In An Amicable
Settlement of Controversy
Which Has Been Pending
Many Years.

AJ @Ne>N1s
A special dispatch from Richmond
says:
West Virginia and Virginia may
Don effect a settlement of tne det
question, which has been pending for
nany years. This is the information
lere today, which comes simultaneous
with a conference between John b.
Ioone, of Albemarle, chairman Of the
tate debt commission, and attorney
eneral, with Governor Swanson.
The understanding is that there has
cen no official and authorized proffer
{ compromise, but there Is letter
communication of some sort which
as found its way into the hands of
ONE Virginia officials which opens
the way for an adjustment of the
isputed account. Just who sent the
9tter is not known, and IT is not pos
lively known who received it, but
vhen Governor Swanson was asked re
arding the matter today, he declin-
to deny that such a proposition
lad been heard of. He would not
Omit, however, that he had received
t.
From what can be gathered, it Is
lain that the proffer comes in the
.lape of feeler to see just what the
ointment is in this state and to ascer-
lin whether the people are willing
} proceed to an adjudication without
lie decree from the Supreme court
: the United States. The sentiment
lvors a speedy settlement, not too
xacting, but an ending OF the yeXa-
ous dispute. The original debt was
ONE $15,000,O0O, but interest, ex-
,enses and various charges have
5rought the amount up to at leaet
vice that amount.
The general assembly Of the state
West Virginia may meet on Janu-
ry 21 One of the subjects to be con-
ldered at this session will be the debt
ssue. The governor of the state, some
{ the leading papers and many OF the
est lawyers Of West Virginia are open
ivocates of abandoning the litigation
his would be the means of maintain
lg the present relations between the
70 states, would be far more econom-
,al and would serve to maintain the
redit of the state Of West Virginia.
Virginia, it is said, will welcome
IN equitable adjustment, in spite of
he fact that she has beaten West
Virginia out in the courts, winning
practically every contested point in
the litigation, and that West Virginia
has fought settlement at every turn.

Resolution of Respect

At regular communication of Housa- tonic Lodge, No. 61, F. & A. M., April 27, 1907, the following resolutions on the death of Brother George H. Brinton were adopted As we enter the Lodge Room today we sadly miss the presence of one who for nearly thirty five years has been regularly accustomed to meet with us, and extend to his brethren his cordial greetings and hand of brotherly love and fellowship.
 During the past week Brother Brinton received the summons from the Supreme Grand Master, and his spirit has entered the land where our fathers have gone be- fore us.
 Brother Brinton had nearly reached the four score mark. He leaves record of unimpeachable character and citizenship, and with quiet and unaSSuming dignity he commanded the respect of all whose good fortune it was to know him.
 WHEREAS this lodge has sustained great loss in his death he is not lost. God himself has written his name on the immortal roll and has gathered his virtues into the eternal treasury.
 His heart was warm and quick to respond to fraternal greetings. He has done much by his jealous labors and consistent life to promote the genuine principles of Free Masonary. His highest ambition was to walk uprightly. before God and man, squaring his actions by the square of vir- tue, neither deviating from the way he thought was right, thereby endearing himself to all who knew him, and more especially to his Brother Masons.
 His work in this earthly temple is com plete. We shall see him no more in the lodge below. There is left only the hope that we shall meet him in the eternal Lodge above where pain and sorrow never go He has laid down the working tools of life and entered that rest that remains for the Faithful. And while we deplore the loss of his ever abundant sympathy, his cordial greetings and his guiding wisdom, we thank God for his good example and ex- tend to his bereaved family our warm sympathy in their bereavement.
 And it is thereby resolved by his breth- ren, in due form assembled, that these resolutions be duly inscribed on the records of this lodge, and a copy be transmitted to the family of our late Brother.
