BEEF HIGHEST SINCE 1882
Brings 1872 Cents Found Whole
sale in New York City

- New York, May 2S.-The highest
price since 1882 was reached by beet
in the wholesale market here when il
SOLD at 1872 cents a pound in bulk. 1t
is said to mean from IL to 2 cents a
round increase for prime meats at re-
tal.
The primary cause or the high pri
oes. the wholesale men say, is the con.
nued scarcity of cattle. Small re.
tail dealers continue to talk of ruin
alton Of their business because con
sumers are greatly curtailing meat
purchases.

tons and turned his attention to
seamless hosiery which was then in
it's infancy.
In 1890 he became associated with
Mr. Hickman. of Philadelphia in
starting the Middlesex Mill at Mar
tnsburg, w. Va, and in 1923 built
the hosiery mills of the Kilbourn
Knitting Machine company in that
city
The Kilbourn Knitting Machine Co.
in Martinsbufg dates from 1891 when
Mr.. Hilbourn came here and negotiat-
ed the purchase of the present Middle
sex mill the owner, Col Hickman, hay-
ing dropped dead a short time before
chat. About the same time he organ
lied a stock company and built the up
per or Kilbourn mill From that time
to the present, the industry has grown
year by year, until these hosiery mills
are known far and wide and employ
hundreds of operatives. But for the
inventive genius of Edward +. XII
bourn, it is very doubtful if they would
be here today.
At the time of his death and for
some years prior thereto, Mr.. Kilbourn
was president of the Eilbolrn Knit
ting Machine Co, and chairman Of the
board of directors. He was a frequent
visitor to Martinsburg and was well
acquainted here. He was of a genial
and kindly disposition and everybody
liked him for his companionable traits
His death, therefore is keenly regret
ted by many people in lhls community.
During the period of his life from
1890 until his death, he was actively
engaged in machine experiments and
inventive work and made many radi-
cal improvements in hosiery machin-
cry. He was unquestionably the
greatest hosiery machinery inventor
of his day. A commissioner of pat

BOUNDARY LINE is
FIXED FOR ALL TIME
Contention Between Two States Since
Creation of West Virginia Has
Given Much Trouble

Creation of West Virginia Has
Given Much Trouble
Washington, May 2S.-The last
chapter of the famous boundary con
troyersy between Maryland and West
Virginia was written yesterday when
the United States Supreme court sus-
tanned the majority of the boundary
commission and definitely fixed the
line which is to divide the two States.
The courts opinion was another vic
tory for West Virginia,
More than year ago the court en-
tered decree in the case. and while
it was supposed az the time to be
equally favorable to the two States,
the later perusal OF the courts opin.
ion indicated that West Virginia had
got the better of the long fight
When the decree was entered the
court appointed a commission of three
to make the decision effective.
This commission. composed of w
McCulloh Brown, representing Mary.
land; j. X. Monroe. representing West
Virginia, and Samuel S. Gannett, rep
resenting the United States Geologi.
cal survey, spent a year surveying
the disputed territory and in fixing
the boundary in accordance with the
findings of the court originally The
commissions report was filed with
the court and demurred to by Mr..
Brown on the part of Maryland.
The exception taken bJ the Mary
lander resulted in a reopening of the
case. The Geological Survey expert
had sided with the West Virginians
Yesterday the Supreme Court upheld
the majority of the commission and
ordered that the line be fixed in ac-
cordance with their views.
In it's brief review OF the case the
court announced that the disputed
part of the boundary would run from
Deakins, on the old State line, along
the south bank OF the North Branch
of the Potomac river to the Pennsyl-
vania line.
The court also stated that the ex-
pense of the commission amounted
to Silica Under Tho ruling each
State to bear half the Total cost of the
surveys and other WORK in connec'
ton of the final decree.
The Maryland-West Virginia bound,
airy dispute dated from the creation of
the latter State The change in the
course of the Potomac river caused
the old line to be obscured, and sever
al thousand acres of land were inyolv-
ed in the controversy.
This boundary line has been unset
tied for a period of between It's and
200 years The territory in dispute is
strip of land about 4 miles wide
and about SO miles in length, running
Maryland and the eastern line of
West Virginia. and containing about
As square miles.
Dispute on Since 1746
Maryland claimed this strip of land
and in 1746 what is known as the Fair,
fax stone was planted at the southern
end of the line. where The headwaters
of the Potomac form the southern and
northern boundary of Maryland and
the territory which then belonged to
Virginia The Supreme Court decis-
ion knocks out Marylano's contention
that the State line should be moved
west about rs miles.
In an effort to settle the controver
sy, Lieut. Michler, an army engineer,
in 1859 restored the original Fairfax
