TIE SOFT DRINKS BILL,

The central assembly enacted bill
which was intended to put tax on
the soft.drink establishments, and 10
doing that 1t also put through a meas
ure which was and is "losded," as IL
appears In the acts approved BY the
presiding officers OF both Houses and
which received the signature OF Cover.
nor Mann March 10th.
The bill was introduced late In the
session by Senator Owen, the successor
of Governor Mann 10 the Senate. L!
bad IS Its title ga bill to require manu-.
factuters, bottlers and dealers In soft
drinks to pay q license tax" Iuno-
cent enough, on Its face, The bill was
sent to the finance committee, and when
that body got hold of the measure II
was supplsnted and tubstiiu was rt-

THE DEBT QUESTION.

With the Lit.Iefild report on The Vlr'
piula and West Virginia debt case 10 the
hands Of opposing counsel 1t Is believed
both sides will file immediat,ly sxcep-
tIous to the report with tae United
States Supreme Court. This will bring
the controversy to sn issue.
The litigation was begun 10 the Su.
pieme Court itself by resson OF the fact
that one state was suing another. What
ever action is decided on now that the
Lttlefsld report is made must be taken
10 that court. Ohief Justice Fuller hs,
given 80 days for the states to 6le ex-
ceptions to the findings. Virginia lost
q hsrd contested point when Mr.. Lit le-
field fl uud that the sinking fund and
the literary fund amounting to more than
So. 5000, 900, were net to be included In
Il Q totsl debt Virginia owed before West
Virginia became q stats. West Virginia
lost still more heavily, however, when
The special master included In the
amount expended by Virginia In the
CT tuntes Of West Virginia 81 item OF
over $l8, 900, 600 SIS interest on the pnb-
lie debt. Those two points may prove
to be the centres OF attacks on the ind
ipgs. Virgins won point when The
master adopted her contention as the
basis for estimating the population OF the
states.
After the exceptions are entered, the
court will proceed to hear arguments on
the disputed poiLt, and finally to give q
decision In the controversy.
On the whole the report is more favor
able to Virginia than to West Virginia.
Counsel for Virginia will meet In
Washington today and 90 carefully OVER
the report of Mr.. Little6eld. Those who
are called to meet at that time are: At
toruey. General Samuel w. Williams,
counsel for the State; ex-Attorney Gen.
eral William A. Anderson, counsel for
the Virginia Debt Commissioner; John
B. Moon and Randolph Harrison, aitor'
ueys for the certificate holders.
Judge Williams has received copy OF
the report OF the special MASTER. He de-
clined, however, to discuss 1t, or 10 inl-
mate, in advance of consultation With
counsel, what the next move OF .he State
would be.
The impression Is that II there are any
exceptions they will come for the most
part from West Virginia.
1t is presumed that sfter The filing
Of exceptions q date will be stt for
final argument before the Supreme
Oouit. 1t is believed that the time Is
not far of when final decision may be
expected.

Los ANGELES, Oct. 25.-The Beav-
ers made their third appearance of
the season on the local lot today and
waltzed away with the first game of
the series with the Angels by score
of to 0. They scored one run in the
first inning and one in the sixth and
only the high class fielding behind
Castleton kept them from adding to
their total. On the other hand, the
Angels had several chances to score
but failed to come through with hit
at the right time
Big Six" Steen was heaving in
championship style for the visitors and
with his splitter breaking in phenom-
email style had the local batters swing
ing their heads off. He allowed but
two hits.
Castletons box work was not bad
by any means and the local HEAVIER had
something on every ball, but the Nc
7Credieites managed to beat him with
clever base running and two hits
