FAIL TO GET TOGETHER
OVER VIRGINIA DEBT
Commissioners Strive Vainly to
Reach Agreement on Amount
Fixed by Supreme Court.

Commissioners representing Virginia
and West Virginia In tho controversy
over the amount Of the old state debt Of
the original state of Virginia which West
Virginia should pay. met again In Joint
session today. after striving vainly all
day yesterday to reach an agreement
The meetings are being held at the New
Willard Hotel.
The Virginia commissioners submitted
proposal that West Virginia pay the
principal Of $7.ls2.607. fixed tentatively
by the Supreme Court. in 1910. with In
terest amounting to about $l4.O0O.0OO
The West Virginia representatives did
not agree to this suggestion. but proposed
Instead that the entire controversy be re-
opened by subcommittee representing
both states.
The Virginia commissioners took the
position that II could not consider such q
proposal. because tho principal OF the
debt had already been fixed by the Su-
preme Court. No way Of getting the two
commissions together had been sug-
gested when an adjournment was taken
late last night
It was considered probable that the dis
pute will have to be taken before the Su-
preme Court again, since there seemed to
be little likelihood Of tho two states COM
ing to an agreement It has been decided.
however. that the two commissions dis
cuss tho question thoroughly In order to
attempt to discover some possible basis
Of agreement.

CY CUMMINGS ENDORSED
FOR EXCISE BOARD HERE
Blair Lee Suggests Name to
President, So Maryland Anti
Saloon League Head Says.

That Andrew ]. cCy') Cummings Of
Chevy Chase. Nd. a member Of the last
Maryland legislature and well known In
Washington. has been recommended by
State Senator Blair Lee to the President
as a member of the District excise board
was the claim made yesterday In Balu-
more by ". H. Anderson Of the Maryland
Anti-Saloon League.
Senator Lees alleged Endorsement Of
Mr.. Cummings was made the basis Of an
attack by Mr. Anderson, who claimed
that such recommendation was an af-
front to the temperance people of Mary
land Senator Lee is a candidate for
United States senator. and is now in the
midst Of an active campaign.
There ie no vacancy on tho excise
board at present to which Mr.. Cummings
could be appointed by the President
Senator Lee said this morning that he
had no comment to make on Mr.. Ander-
sons statement. Mr.. Cummings said that
it was so p,ainly political attack on
Senator Lee that he thought he had bet
ter say nothing.
Anderson Attacks Cummings.
In his statement Mr.. Anderson told Of
sending an attorney to Washington to
confirm a rumor that Mr.. Cummings had
been Endorsed. and adds that the report
was verified and corroborated at the
White House.
"It is lot necessary to say much about
Mr. Cummings. who Is commonly known
as 'Cy' Cummings. said Mr.. Anderson.
by waiting for his chance, he turned
the trio which finally defeated the state
wide local option bill last time, after
pretending to be for II for two preced-
ing sessions when his vote was not need
ed. He trains with the liquor crowd. He
Is just a practical saloon politician Of
The gross improperly of indorsing such
man to administer the new excise law.
which Is the most stringent governing
any big city in the country, Is apparent
to every body who knows him.
But most serious Of all, we charge
that Senator Lee has run the risk of
putting the President in bad with the
temperance people Of the whole coun-
try in thus indorsing for appointment
try to carry through on, the legislative
ticket in Montgomery county because
OF his known liquor and other cOnnec-
tions. We believe that the President
Is endeavoring to do the fair and right
thing and serve the best interests OF
the public. He cannot personally know
all applications. but must rely upon the
advice of men In the various states
whom he has a right to trust. The in
dorsement Of such a man as Mr.. Cum
mings for such position, merely in
order to get rid of him as a local po-
litica1 milestone, is an inexcusable
breach Of good faith on the part Of
Senator Lee az q supposed friend Of the
President"
