down to drown the horrible noises
outside. De Pent was the first who
was killed; the street was filled with
dead and wounded.

over, deathly sick. My one thought
was to reach my carriage and get
home as quickly as possible. But
how was l to accomplish it? The
Rue de la Paix was of course, impos-
sible. Worth had a courtyard, but no
outlet into the Rue st. ArGaud. He
suggested that | should go through
his ateliers, which he had at the top
of the house, and reach an adjoining
apartment, from which I might de-
scend to the Rue st. Arnaud, where
would find my carriage. He told
one of his women to lead the way,
and I followed. We toiled up many
flights of wearisome steps until we
arrived at the aforementioned atel-
iers. These communicated with an
other apartment, of which Worth's
woman had the key. On her opening
the door we found ourselves in a
small bedroom mot in the tidiest
condition., seeming to have just been
occupied. We passed through this
room, and came out to a staircase.

"When at last I came to the porte
cochere I found it closed and locked,
and the frightened concierge would
not open for me. Fortunately I had
a gold piece to make her yield to
my demand. She reluctantly unfast-
ened the door, and I went out. The
street was filled with a terrified mob
bowling and crying in every direc-
ton. I caught a glimpse of the car
riage away up the street, and I saw
a hand gesticulating wildly above the
heads of the crowds, which | recog-
nized as Louis's, 1t was the only
one with a glove on.

mass of people, saying very politely.

Washington, Jan. 2O.--The stag
gering arithmetic problem, compli-
Gated by questions of international
law of how much Of the $4,000, 900
debt of the old state of Virginia
West Virginia should bear, was laid
today before the Supreme Court Of
the United States for it's solution.
Recognizing the intricacy Of the
problem and the Importance Of the
outcome, the Court consented to de-
vote practically all it's time until
next Thursday to a'hearing of argu-
meptsa.in Athe4-aase- eSsItaists ss.aaeHe
time than has been given to any 9TH
err case argued before the Supreme
Court Of the United States within
many years.
The debt Of Virginia at the time
West Virginia was organized is rec
ognized as about $33,OOO,OOO. Many
more millions have been added to
that sum as interest.
The commonwealth of Virginia
seeks to have West Virginia bear
one third Of the debt. West Virgin
Ia denies her liability for one cent,
TO settle the controversy it NAV be
necessary for the Supreme Court
to review the expenditures and re-
ce1pts of the state Of Virginia since
1926 and figure out from that exam
nation the liabilities.
The bitterness of the contest
which has been manifest for years
was reflected today by the earnest
n1ss OF Holmes Conrad, Of Virginia
IN opening the argument He was
the spokesman for holders of s15,-
OoO,00O. worth Of certificates repre-
scnting q part Of the debt in the
present litigation the certificate
holders are urging that West Vir-
ginia be required to pay the debt
represented by the certificates.
Mr.. Conrad only had time to lay
before the Court part of the founda-
ton for the contest. He took the
Court back to the days of 1926,
when Virginia inaugurated a system
or constructing roads, canals and
railways extending from the Allan
tic to the Ohio River. That, he
said, was the time Of the origin of
the public debt of Virginia as it ex-
listed in 1861.
Inc public improvements were be-
gun largely if not entirely for the
development Of the coal and oil min
erals and gas that today make the
state Of West Virginia the wealthiest
state in the Union" Mr.. Conrad told
the Court.
Because Of the origin Of the debt

that West Virginia was under "rec.
ognized liability" to pay her equita.
