Vircinians Are to go to Court Again
Over Old Bonds.

Washington. March 6.-After an al
day session discussing exchanges of
f.proposals the Virginia and West Viz
rinia debt commissions failed We'd
nesdav to reach any settlement re-
carding the S30,000,000 Virginia
debt. The West Virginia commission,
claiming its State had received no
benefit from this '.ebt, offere? as It's
hare in final settlement, $2,327 1876, :
2S. On receiving this proposition the
Virginia commissioners Immediately
convened in another room ut the New
Willard Hotel, and adopted a resolu-
ton in which the offer of the West
Virginia commission was rejected.
The Virginia commissioners direct
ed attention to the decision rendered
BY the United States Supreme Court
on November 10, 1913, in which West
Virginia'S liabilities are place at
&7.i82 .50746, ana insistc3 upon this
amount being paid. Before taking a
final adjournment the West Virgin
ians sent a resolution to the Virginia
commission expressing regret over
lthe failure 10 reach an agreement.
Ap:i l3 has been set by the Supreme
Court as the last day upon which some
settlement must be made. At that
time the Virginia legislature Will
probably ask for a correction Of cler-
ical errors in the decision in order that
the State Iray proceed to collect judg-
ments. West Virginia will appear be-
fore the court seeking new rehear-
irs,. and presenting further arsu-
