VIRGINIA's DEBT CASE.
Supreme Court Declines to Gran
Motion to Expedite.

supreme court DecI1neS 10 Urant
Motion to Expedite.
The Supreme Court yesterday denied
without prejudice the motion made on be-
half Of the State of Virginia to proceed
without further delay taking testimony
in the case involving the public debt of
Virginia as it existed before the separa-
tion of West Virginia from the mother
State. The case has been referred back
to the litigants with a recommendation
that they agree on the proportion of the
debt TO be assumed by West Virginia.
West Virginia has declined to enter the
conference up to this time, claiming that
the legislature alone had power to au-
thOrize such action, and the legislature
will not meet until next year. Under
such conditions the governor of West
Virginia declined to appoint commission
ers to the conference until authorized by
the legislature.
Justice Holmes. speaking for the court
in denying the motion of Virginia to pro-
ceed with the case, said that States could
not be expected TO act as eXpeditiously
as individuals, and granted the extension
OF time asked by West Virginia. The
bends representing the debt are held
mainly in New York.

JUG THE SPlTTERS,
SAYSDR. WOODWARD
Health Officer Praises Police
for EnforeingLaw

DR.. W. c. Woodward, District health
officer, expressed qualification at the at
tempt by policemen OF the First precinct
to enforce the regulation regarding spit
ting on the sidewalk. Three men were
arrested in the First precinct on Sun
day.
II think the regulation is an important
one," said DIR. Woodward. There is great
danger of disease, especially tuberculosis,
resulting from eXpectoration on the side
walks. Persons are likely to track the
sputum from the sidewalks into street
cars and public and private buildings.
thus endangering the lives OF many.
Women in particular are likely to get
the sputum on their skirts, and in that
way carry a possible source of disease
from place to place.
The regulation is one which Is OF
importance to the people, and which
should be strictly enforced. I'm very
glad to know that the policemen are
arresting persons guilty Of violating the
law"

INDORSES VACCINE
AGAINST TYPHOID
Health Officer Recognizes
Efficacy of Preventive.

Health Officer Woodward yesterday ex-
pressed himself in favor of vaccination
as preventive of typhoid fever
The physicians of the city have not

the system generally" said DIR. Wood

larger number of them recognize the
efficacy of vaccination in the protection
of patients from typhoid.

cinated is while they are young. Typhoid
usually attacks comparatively young per-
sons.
Il have read with interest of the sue
