Court on Question of Amount
to Be Paid Virginia.

WASHINGTON, April, 16.-The long
fought Virginia-West Virginia state
debt case was presented to the SUI

Several months ago the supreme
court. held that West Virginia was
liable for some seven million dollars
to virginia but West Virginia now
claims that this should be reduced to
about two million dollars byf reason
of assets in the hands of Virginia, in
which it should be allowed to share.

Aspirants Seek to Lineup
Wayne Votes Before
Convention.

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Jan. 2O.-By a
vote Of 131 to III, Howard Roberts of
Greenfield was chosen Progressive
chairman of the Sixth district at the
convention held here today. Cecil
Pague OF Morristown was his oppo-
nent for the position
Both candidates were confident of
election, but the wise ones pre-
dicted Roberts success. Roberts is
retired travelling salesman, of indie
pendent means, we'll known over the
district, an active party worker and a
man said to have been indorsed by
State Chairman Lee. Pague is young
lawyer and has taken an active part
in Progressive party affairs in Shelby
county.
Roberts, before the convention was
called to order announced he had the
solid support of the Hancock county
delegation, also the delegation from
Union and Fayette. Pague said he had
the solid support of Shelby county,
and he also cleaimed the Rush and
Franklin county delegations.
Wayne county's delegation, with its
sixty-four members, is the prize which
both candidates tried to capture
this afternoon, but it will be no sur
Prise if this delega ton is split evenly
between the two candidates.

creases each year. although it Is ex-
pected that the treasurer will collect
within $4,000 of the amount of the
duplicates for city taxes. The increase
in the amount of delinQuents in Rich
mond of this year over last was
$4,000, and outside of Richmond, was
about $4,000. The delinquent tax In
the county. including the city, amounts
to almost $4,000 now, and will ex-
ceed that amount next year. it IS said.
Although almost $4,000 more will
be collected in Richmond this year
than last, the extra money does not go
to the city In fact, the city will suf-
fer slightly in spite of the increased
valuations because the tax rate was
not raised.
In the division of the tax money,
Wayne county will lose a little, al
though the tax rate was boosted a
few cents. This is because OF the in
creased road tax and. the increase Of
ten cents in the state tax.

of the board OF trustees.
A summary of this report was pub

interesting facts in the report which
were not made public until last night
At the conclusion of the reading OF
the report Mr.. Rupe informed the
mayor that he could at any time ap-

One of the interesting facts brought
