CONFERENCE TO DEBATE
S14,OO0,OO0 DISPUTE
Virginia and West Virginia Represent
atives Meet Here Today to
Talk Over Old Debt.

A debt of s14,OOO.oOO, probably the lars-
est dispute of financial nature in the
United States, will be the subject of a
conference in this city today.
Virginia is trying to collect that amount
OF money from the State of West Nir-
ginia and commissions representing the
legislatures of both states will meet at
the New Willard and try to reach an
agreement. The dispute was before the
Supreme Court. which decided that West
Virginia ought 10 pay the claim, but
entered no decree compelling the pay
ment.
There have been many disputes be-
tween the States of the Union. but none
in which settlement was refused.
The debt arises out of West Virginia's
withdrawing from Virginia half-cen-
fury ago and since refusing to pay for
improvements for which the State OF
Virginia is liable.
