The cat question will be one Of the

WINCHESTER HAS
GRANTED FRANCHISE
City Council Was Unanimous in Its
Action for the Passage CT the Bill
Mayor Signs Document.

The city council of Winchester last
night granted the franchise for the
street railway represented by Attor-
ney Clarence r. Martin, of this city.
The franchise was presented to the
council of the Virginia town about
five weeks ago and was seat to a COM
mittee and at the meeting last night
it was reported savorab'y by the COM
mittee, which was unanimous in the
action. The council then considered
the franchise as body and passed it
by q unanimous vote. The franchise
was then signed by the mayor and
the matter will become law
There was no opposition to the
matter in Winchester and every one
was anxious for the opportunity to
secure a trolley line.
Winchester has always been con-
sidered dead town but in the mat
ter of securing a street railway they
have beaten Martinsburg out ard are
ready to have the men behind the
movement go ahead with the work.
The franchise will come before the
city council here tomorrow night,
when it is expected that final action
will be taken
The franchise passed in Winches-
ter is practically the same as the one
presented here by Mr. Martin. The
difference was only in some matters
made necessary by the laws of Vir-
ginia.

TROLLEY FRANCHISE
PASSED THIS WEEK
Council Again Takes Up Trolley Cues
ton But Defers Final Action
Till Thursday Night.

AT the meeting of the City Coun-
Gil Monday night. as noted elsewhere,
the trolley ordinance YVES considered
at length-in fact 1t was l1.30 O'clock
when the meeting adjourned.
The opponents of the trolley ordi-
nance, as originally submitted to
council by Attorney c. E. Martin and
subsequently amended, evidently did
not expect that the ordinance would
be passed at the meeting Monday
might because not one of them was on
hand to cast stone or other missile
at it. AS will be recalled the ordi-
nance passed to its second reading at
ia special meeting of couanil last week
land the regular meeting last Thurs
lday night was postponed for some
treason or other. So, as stated, the
fight was renewed Monday night.
though it was a very friendly one.
Attorney J. M. Woods, who with
Senator Faulkner and City Attorney
&c. E. Williams, had been appointed by
the Board of Affairs to make a thor
lough investigation as to those provi-
!, sions of the ordinance directly affect
ing the interests of the people Of
Martinsburg, was presen. at the latter
part of the meeting by request o..
council in order to go over the troll
ley situation. He said the only sug-
gestion he had to make to the ordi-
nance as 1T now stands was that it
should specify certain number OF
city blocks-say fifteen or twenty
that the trolley line is to cover when
built Attorney Martin, representing
the trolley promoters, replied that ne
had no objection to that, although as
a matter of fact after ill the discus
sion that amendment to the ordinance
was not incorporated. All agreed to
the entire ordinance EXCEPT one clause
of the first section relating to the
route of the proposed line through
lMartinsburg, which matter, 1t may be
STATED. has not been definitely decid-
led as yet.
Mr. Martin exhibited telesrams from
lofiicials in Clarksburg. Morgantown
land Huntington and letters from Of
lfcials in Parkersburg and Fairmont
relative to trolley franchises in those
Iplaces, as per Mr.. Martins request.
All showed that the route clause in
their franchises was either a blanket
lone or else named the streets and
lgave the trolley company the right
Ito select the ones they wanted to go
over. Then Mr.. Woods retired.
After some further discussion coun'
Icil adjourned to meet Thursday night
when the final vote on the trolley or
dinance will be taken and the fran
lchise granted.

TO PAY FOR THE
GREAT NORTHWEST
Bill introduced In Senate to Adludi.
cate = Novel clzim---old Debt
Matter Prompted Action.

Washington, d. c., April 1.-THE
senators OF West Virginia and Viz
GINA began movement to require
the United States government to ac-
count to the thirteen original states
for every cent 1t has received from
the sale of the Northwestern terri
tory, although a century has passed
since the territory was given by vir~
ginia TO the federal governments The
sum probably would amount to $780,
600 600.
! Senator Chiffon. of West Virginia,
introduced in the Senate a bill to
give the Court of Claims jurisdiction
to settle the claim against the fed
eraf government. Then he spoke i'm
advocacy of the bill, saying Senator
Watson. of West Virginia, and Martin
and Swanson, of Virginia, concurred
In the measure.
The West Virginia senator declar-
ed Virginia did not give the territory
outright to the federal government.
but transferred title to the federal
government to hold it is trustee for
the benefit OF all the thirteen original
states. AS West Virginia and Ken
/ lucky were then a part OF Virginia
and were not within the ceded terri,
tory, he asserted these states had d
right to share In virgInia's portion
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois. Michigan and
/ Wisconsin were carved out of the ter
irltory.
The deed of cession vas referred
to as showing that the coded land
was to be considered as o common
fund for the use and benefit Of such
of the United States as have become
or shall become members Of the con
federation OF Federal Ailiance Of tils
states, Virginia exclusive" Senator
Chiffon explained that tire reference
to future members was made so as Il
permit Maryland, then outside the
federation. to participate IN the bene
fits.
at this time when litigation is pend
ing as to whether West Virginia shall
share Virginia's old state debt, Sela
tor Chiffon declared 1t was opportunt
for the federal government to make
a settlement with the thirteen origi
ma. states.
IF ever In their history Virginia
and West Virginia needed their part
of this trust, it is now" said he. 'By
the cession, Virginia made the fed
eral compact possible. 1t is nothing
but right and justice that the two
states of Virginia and West Virginia
should now ask the federal govern
ment for a settlement Of the trust
property committed to its hands"

TWo-cENT RATE LAW.
West Virginia Statute Finally Reaches
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
Washington, April 9.-The validity
of West Wrginia's two-cent rate law
was argued before the Supreme Court
of the United States yesterday. At
torney William G. Conley represented
the state and Frank r Enslow, of
Huntington, the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway The law was entered by
the legislature of 1909 aad since that
time fits legality has hean attacked
successfully in the state courts.
The lower tribunals upheld the
statute, but the Supreme Court OF
West Virginia allowed a writ OF error
on the charge of confscation, and it
IS this writ OF error that was argued
before the United States Supreme
Court.
The Baltimore and Ohio, Western
Maryland and several other carriers
have not protested against the law as
yet, and their action will be deter
mined by the result of yesterdays
proceedings.
The Chesapeake and Ohio, Norfolk
and Western. the Coal and Coke and
Aother lines have had inju1ctions
served upon the state, which permits
Sthem to charge in excess of 2 cents
a mile, providing they furnish the
Ipatron with coupons payable If the
act is finally declared legal.
