State Accountant Dover. of West Nir-

began probing books in the offices of
the treasurer and second auditor OF
Virginia
Exactly what evidence they are look
ing for appears to be something OF a
mystery but IL is said that they will
leave no sstone unturned TO rtain
what they are after. They expect TO
be at work on the books for fully a
week and perhaps longer. They got to
work on the books covering the year
1850 and from that point they will
work forward down to more recent
dates.
Letters from Hatfield.
Mr. Dover arrived here Thursday
with his assistants and is quartered
at the Jefferson. He was accompanied
to Richmond by Tax Commissioner
Blue, of West Virginia. who returned
home after introducing the State ac-
countant TO Governor Mann and other
officials. The party brought with them
a letter from Governor Hatfield asking
that all reasonable courtesies be ex-

Governor Mann after exchanging

Has Until Next June.
West Virginia has until Juno 1, 1914,
to perfect a plan for the payment OF
the decree of the United States SUI
preme court. This action was taken
when Attorney General Williams. for
Virginia. recently moved the court for
decree to enforce the payment OF
the amount of debt determined by Com
missioner Littlefieid to be due this
State. The court refused to adopt the
motion. but ordered West Virginia to
perfect plan by the middle OF April
of next year for the initial payment or
satisfactory basis Of settlement with
Virginia to become operative. as OF
June LIST The principal and interest
claimed by Virginia liz upward of $780,
900, 600.
Two or three years ago, West vir-
ginia experts went through practically
the same books and carried away with
them enough figures and other data to
fll half a dozen trunks.
The prevailing opinion around the
capitol Is that the second detail OF eS-
perts will have to use a fine comb with
much precision and determination II
they would find anything new in the
books.
