WEST VIRGINIA
Supreme Court Refuses to Order
Settlement of Claim
ACTION HANGS fire
Higher Tribunal Not Convinced
That Sister State Has Been
DiIatory in Settlement

Washington, Oct. 3O.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States
today declined to grant the request
of the commonwealth of Virginia to
''speed the cause in the common
wealth's suit against West Virginia
to compel it to pay portion of the
old debt of the Virginia common
wealth. Last March the court ar
rived at the conclusion that West
Virginia's share OF. the $50, 1000, 900
Virginia debt in the sixties was
s7,1S2,O0O. At that time the court
said many figures must be ascer-
tanned or agreed upon before final
decree was entered, particularly in
regard to interest, and with the sug-
gestion that "great states have a
temper superior to that of private
litigants" besought conference be-
tween the states to settle the matter.
The court today, speaking through
Justice Holmes, found that West Vir-
ginia as state had not yet shown
that it was not proceeding with all
deliberate speed"

STEEL CASE CAN'T
BE DECIDED SOON
Final Verdict of Courts May be
Delayed for Two Years
PROCESS IS TEDIOUS
Government Officials Say That
Long Period Will be Required
for Shaping Up Evidence

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 28.-The I'm
tied States district attorneys Office
here is not optimistic of speedy tri-
al of the steel suit.
In the case of the suit against the
powder trust it was pointed out,
twelve volumes represent the testi-
mony and pleadings taken during an
interval of three years after the
filing of the suit The case against
the steel corporation, considered ev-
en- more far-reaching and of greater
scope than the powder suit, hardly
will be completed within less than
this time, they believe.
Even then, the point out, the final
decision may be delayed two years
or more by appeal to the United
States supreme court.
John B. Vreeland, United States
district attorney for New Jersey,
whose signature is attached to the
petition said today that he did not
expect to take prominent part in
the prosecution of the case. 1t was
the unofficial opinion of the district
attorney that decision would hard
ly be handed down within three
years because of the case volume of
testimony to be taken.

PLANS IN SHAPE
FOR INDOOR FAIR
Poultry Exhibit Will Be Largest
Ever Held in Valley

Next week will witness the first
annual exposition of the Augusta In
door Fair Association. Indications at
this time are that the show will be
one of the biggest successes that has
ever been pulled off in Staunton.
That the poultry exhibit will be a
notable one is already assured from
the large number of entries which
have been filed with the committee
having charge Of this department. On
Thursday the number of entries had
exceeded expectations, and it became
necessary for the directors to order
an additional supply of cOOps. The
poultry exhibit will surpass the one
held here last year, both in number
of entries and the class and variety
of birds to be shown.
Equally noteworthy promises to be
the exhibits of corn, fruit and other
country produce. Entries have come
in from all over the county, and al
ready a sufficient number of people
have signified their intention of be-
ing exhibitors to insure really great
show.
Plans of the directors have moved
steadily forward, without the slight
est hitch, and the hearty cooperation
they have received from the merch-
ants, combined with the great inter-
est that is being manifested by the
public generally, inspires them with
the belief that their efforts to give
Staunton and the county an annual
indoor fair are being appreciated.

MINISTERS TALK
CHURCH EXTENSION

The Church Extension Fund,
which is result of movement,
started by Rev. John ]. Lloyd, D. D.,
archdeacon of the diocese of South
ern Virginia in the spring of 1908,
was the subject discussed in both
Episcopal churches on Sunday morn
ing.
At Trinity church Rev. W. @. Hull
linen, rector, the Rev, George Floyd
Rogers, of Covington presented the
needs of the committee, which has
this work in charge, and the finan-
cial secretary of the Church Exten-
sion Fund for the diocese, the Rev.
Otis Mead, of Christiansburg, spoke
eloquently at Emmanuel church, Of
which Rev. R. c. Jett is rector.
There has been subscribed to this
fund about $4,000, and about
$4,000 has been collected and ap-
propriated to about forty-five places
in the diocese. The fund gives es-
pecially, to the equipment OF
churches and schools in weak
places, pays the salary of the arch
deacon, the secretary and of five
. women workers.
Last year $1,000 was subscribed
in Staunton and this year a large
amount was given in response to the
calls made by Messrs. Mead and
Rogers. Splendid results have been
shown as an evidence of the good
| done by building up the work in
! weak places. Mr.. Rogers is doing
noble work near Covington in his
agricultural and Industrial school
and we'll as general mission work
