CREDIT TO STATE
IN VIRGINIA DEBT
Senator Chiffon and Congressman
Hamilton Think They Have
Fund an Error Of 100000

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
v. Il. Chiffon and Congressman John
NJ Hamilton, both OF whom have TAX
en- special interest in the Virginia
debt question since they have been in
Congress-, believe they have discover
Cd an error in the computation of
West Virginia's portion of the debt
and are OF the opinion that a credit
TO West Virginia of about 100000 has
been overlooked. They will make
further investigation and confer with
the attorneys for the state in an effort
to save at least this much out OF the
amount of any judgment which may
finally be rendered against West Viz
ginia
At the suggestion of MI ID. NJ Cal
houn, OF Pendleton county, who is 4
member OF the legislature, socn to
convene, Senator Chiffon and MIR
Hamilton began an investigation into
tho payments of certain sums to var
ious states by an act OF Congress
about ten years ago. After long
search of the records they discover
ed that in 1902 Congress appropriated
certain sums TO be paid to the differ
| ent states which had advanced money
| 10 the federal government with
which to carry on the war of 1912.
When these payments were made the
federal government held what We're
known as Indian fund bonds of the
State of West Virginia to the amount
of s5S7 800 and Chesapeake and Ohio
canal bonds guaranteed by the State
of Virginia to the amount Of $13,S0O.
Instead OF paying cash to to State of
/ Virginia in refundlng the amount it
/ had advanced the government simply
| turned over to the State these bonds
Iaggregating a little over 100000. All
these bonds we're dated prior to 1861
and before the separation OF the
State. They must have been included
as part of the Virginia debt at that
time and vet while West Virginia has
been held by the Supreme Court to be
liable for about one-third of the Viz
ginia debt, apparently no credit has
been given to the State for one-third
. OF lutSt bOluS HAilSl NSAV ANN''' HNN'
to the State of Virginia. If West Viz
ginia is liable for about one-third of
the debt it certainly should have been
credited with one-third of the bonds
returned or 100000.
The Information obtained by Sena-
tor Chiffon and Mr., Hamilton will be
turned over by them to the attorneys
for the State in the debt suit for them
to make such use of as they see fit in
an endeavor to save at least 100000
for the State.

Children Put DO,Un
What They Wmf

Suppose" said a public school
teacher to her class of 10-year old
pupils, Suppose that you could ask
Santa Claus for three things you
want more than anything else in the
world and that he would bring them
to you at Christmas, what would you
ask Santa to bring?"
The teacher IS a human person who
knows that children would rather
write their own ideas as alanguage
lesson than copy the most stirring
Christmas poem from the blackboard,
and. besides, she loves the Christmas
spirit in the schoolroom and the shin
ing eyes of the children. More than
that, the teacher is endowed with a
fair share OF curiosity. and she mag
ined she might in this way get some
idea of the sort of gifts children like
best to receive, whether drums and
air rifles, dolls and dishes or top
boots and mutts.
She didn't get any real light on this
question, but from the viewpoint of
the ehild-psychologist she found in
the answers Il perfect calcium glow.

POSTOFF|CE IN
MIDST OF RUSH
Extra Men are NV on Duty and an
Automobile is Used for Deliver.
ina Packages

The rush at the postofice is on in
earnest. -Four extra men have been
employed until it is over TO assist the
regular men, and it requires all of the
time of everybody to meet the de-
mands made upon. them. One new
man is in the office. and the others
are on the streets delivering packages.
To handle the business with dis
patch an automobile has been placed
in commission, and the new men are
in charge of it. This is somewhat of
an Improvement over the method
adopted last year, as the work can be
performed in much less time and with
greater satisfaction to all concerned
This year the rush is far greater
than that Of any preceding year, and
the postofflce force finds itself con-
fronted with the heaviest work ever
known. However, everybody is. happy
and the business is being taken care
of in the very best way possible and
there are no complaints.

LESS MONEY SENT
ABROAD THIS YEAR
Thrifty F"reigners Keep Their Saw
ings in the Postal sanks--40 Per
Cent. Less Than Last Year

Thrifty foreigners in Martinsburg,
who through larger wages and more
constant employment this year have
undoubtedly made more than ever be-
fore, have actually seat abroad less
than in previous years, and one ex'
PLANTATION of this T. suggested by the
fact that the postal savings bank is
holding much OF this money. For the
first time except in distinctly panic
years there has been a falling of
in the number of international money
orders here, and there is no reason to
indicate that in this respect this CRY
IS different from others. There has
been steady employment and wages
have in a number OF lines been in
creased, but the cost OF living has
entered somewhat as a factor in cut
ting down any increase in the surplus.
Assistant Postmaster Kitchen. said
today that from the returns Of the pos
tai savings banks and from those of
the money-order counter he believes
that the bank has kept here money
that otherwise would have been sent
abroad to be placed in postal banks
there or in financial institutions with
which the foreigners were familiar
from childhood,
A surprising fact is that the postal
savings banks have been affected by
Christmas Withdrawals possibly no
more than other banks. The persons
who have bought bonds through the
banks have held on to them, as was
Of course expected and others who
have steadily and slowly accumulated
by regular weekly deposits have man
aged TO finance their Christmas eX'
penditures in other ways.
Mr.. Kitchin has not had n definite
report made comparing the money or
der receipts with last year and could
not give olt the figures, but stated
that he felt sure the amount sent, so
far. is 40 per cent. less than last year
The express companies have not sent
ANYTHING. All Of which proves that
the foreigners are determined to keep
the greater portion OF their savings
in this country, whore they will profit
them most

ODD FACT BROUGHT OUT.
False Oath Only Perjury In Court In
West Virginia.

PARKERSBUURG, W. Va, Dec. 90
THAT man cannot be punished UNI
der the laws of West Virginia for per-
jury unless he commits the offense
while on the witness stand, and that
false statement sworn to outside
of a court of justice is not a penal
offense, was brought out here when
E. Autsin, of Grafton, w. Va, was ar
raigned before Justice of the Peace
Rathbone on a charge OF perjury pre-
ferred by John N. Bailey, a well to do
farmer of near Belleville.
Bailey alleged that Tustin had been
endeavoring to elope with his daugh-
ter for several weeks and did succeed
in enticing her away from her home
to this city. He suspected that Aus
tin was married, but when he accused
him of dishonorable intentions toward
his daughter, Austin offered to make
a sworn statement that he was not
married.
After Austin had done this Bailey
it is said. secured proof that the man
had a wife and two children at Graf
ton The perjury warrant, it is said,
was then sworn out. When Austin
was arraigned. he admitted that he
had sworn falsely, but the justice was
compelled to release him as there was
no law to justify his being held for
the grand jury.
