cry. Three men were blown out of a
window by the explosion, and this for a
time caused a belief that the plant had
been dynamited because it is operated as
an open shop. The officials. however
doubt that dynamite was used.
The eleven injured were burned or in

ASK SUPREME COURT
TO REVIEW DECISION
West Virginia May Request
Reconsideration of the Vir-
ginia Debt Case.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 1S-It
was learned here today that legal repre-
sentatives of the state of West Virginia
are holding conferences, chiefly in New
York city, with view to asking the Su-
preme Court OF the United States to re-
consider its findings in the Virgtnia-Wes
Virginia debt case.
The court recently decided that the
state of West Virginia was under obliga-
ton to pay more than 100000 Of the
$33. 100000 debt hanging over the old COM
monwealth of Virginia January 1, 1861,
shortly after which time the first steps
were taken to organize West Virginia as
a separate state.
Points to Be Raised
One of the points that will be urged, it
is understood, is that the court, in select
ing a ratio for the apportionment of the
debt existing January /, 1861, should have
taken the valuation of property in the
two states on that date rather than on
June 20, 1863. (the date of West Virginia s
admission into the Union. BY taking the
latter date the court gave Virginia the
advantage of the depreciation of property
resulting from the war between the
states. 1t will be urged also that the
court erred in excluding the valuation of
slaves from the property list on the
theory that slaves were recognized uni
versally in Virginia as property in 1861.
