GOV. HATFIELD IS ASKED
ABOUT STATES BIG DEBT
Virginia Commission Wants to Know
What Steps Have Been Taken
Toward Payment.

Case of Failure, Could Order
Public Buildings Sold.

Following meeting in this city yes
terday of the Virginia debt commission,
called to discuss the delay of West
Virginia in needing the mandate OF
the Supreme Court of the United States
and paying its share of the old debt OF
Virginia incurred prior to the seces-
sion of the territory afterward known
as West Virginia from the Old Domin-
ion, a letter was addressed to Gov.
Hatfield asking what steps had been
taken toward payment Of the debt.
The Supreme Court recently, after. lit
igation extending over many years, de-
cided that West Virginia's share of the
ancient debt was about $14,000,000
which enormous sum West Virginia
was directed to pay.
The letter sent as a result of yester-
days meeting was merely one of in
quiry. it was stated, the communica-
ton containing no limitations as to
possible procedure in case of long de-
lay in payment of the debt.
Might Sell State Property.
It has been pointed out that, follow
case of absolute failure of West vir-
ginia to obey the courts mandate
might issue an attachment on state
buildings and other state property and
direct that such property of the state
be sold to satisfy the debt. The diff
Guilty in such case. however, would be
to find buyer or buyers for the prop

the statehouse at Charleston, state in

state institutions. Just what use any
possible buyer might have for such
properties, 1t is stated, would be diff
cult of comprehension. -.,r

not decided to call an extra session of

and the payment of this debt is so in

politics that no one in Washington will
venture to predict his answer to the
letter.

revenue from the recent prohibition
amendment to the constitution. To
raise $14.000,000 more by direct taxa
ton is not a proposition which will add
to the popularity of Gov. Hatfield in a
senatorial campaign. 1t is understood
that the people of West Virginia have
expressed a determination not to sub
nit to any taxation for paying the debt
but this sentiment is rapidly dying out

JOAN OF ARCS PRISON
Feundatlon Of Ancient Tower Dug
Out In Convent Grounds at
Rouen.

The prisoL of Joan of Arc has been
located near Rouen. The foundations
of the ancient tower in which 1t was
have been discovered and opened up
through some new construction work
undertaken by the government in the
grounds of the Ursuline Convent, from
which the nuns have recently been ex-
PEELED.
The workmen in digging for the
new foundations came upon a massive
wall enclosing a circular space with a
diameter of about 30 feet. When this
was cleared of earth well was found
in the center measuring Is feet across
and about 80 feet in depth. Water
rose in 1t clear and cold as soon as the
earth had been cleared away from the
bottom.
When the antiquarians got busy
they identified the wall as the founda
tion of a building which was known
for ages as The Maids Tower" A
document daring back to 1641 was pro-
duced, which, taking it for granted
that this tower had been the prison of
the Maid of Orleans 21O years pre-
viously, gave 4. description and meas
urements of it, including tho WE'LL
which unmistakably watch the ruins
just eXhumcd.
The structure appears to have stood
unchanged from the death of Joan in
1431 to 1890, whe nit was reduced to
ruins in the course of a siege. In 1863
the city leased the site on which the
ruin stood to Louis Mouchard.
In 1850 he appears to have stopped
paying the rent. The greater part of
the ruin was cleared away about this
time, but as late as 1889 visitor writ
ing about the place mentions the foun-
dation of the tower as visible and
speaks of the well After that it was
filed in with earth and later the site
became part of the nuns garden and
the existence of the ruin and the ira
dition attaching to it we've forgotten.

The country came under Turkish do.
minion in 1916, after the war between
the Ottoman Sultan and the Egyptian

300 years the history of Palestine has
been a record of senguinary quarrels
between the landed sheikhs, and of the
oppression of the peasantry by them
and by Turkish fficials. 1t was not

Two altern i've policies present
themselves in this urgent problem.
The German Emperor has taken a
great interest in Palestine and his
rather theatrical visit to the Holy
Land in 1908, has contributed to the
extension of German activity in the
country. There is the proposal of the
zionists, expressed by Herzy, who
came to this country in the year of
the Kaiser's visit to Palestine, that a
Jewish state shall be established in
that land There is also the proposal
now put forward, that the country
shall now be developed into a Chris.
tian state, guaranteed, perhaps, in it's
national neutrality by the powers.
The Zionist movement, which drew
much of its strength from the perse-
cutions of the Anti-Semites, and has
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1915-04-08

been inspired by race consciousness
and the idea of a spiritual mission, led
to a deep interest among the Jews in
the affairs of the Holy Land. Practic-
ally the movement took the form of
improving the situation of the local
Jews, but it embodied also the purpose
of re-establishing the Jewish nation
in the country. Lord Palmerston be-
came interested in the plan, and Lord
Beaconsfeld and Lord Salisbury sup
ported Laurence Oliphant in his nego-
tiations with the Porte for a conces-
sion, which might pave the way to the
establishment of sdch a State, which
was regarded as promising further
strengthening of the British route to
India.
But the much advertised Zionist
movement has not resulted in any
great and continuous stream of Jew
ish migration into the country.
1t is proposed, therefore, to work to.
ward the creation of Christian State

jected, or as an autonomous state,
by the powers. Such a political organ

An end must be put to the quarrels
between various orders of the Greek
and Latin churches, which have not
been creditable to the spirit which ii

Outstanding causes of dispute at work,
the Russians supporting the Greek
monks and the Turks looking a little
tolerantly toward the Latins under
French inspirations.
Should Greeks or Latins enjoy most
consideration? Which of them should
enter earliest in the day into the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, or
should have possession of the great
Church of Bethlehem? There was a
disturbance in November, 1901, which
arose from dispute as to the right
to sweep certain stairs at the Holy
Sepulchre Church, after which the
Latin communities were assigned to
the protection of their national Con.
suls.
Such abuses have arisen from the
want of proper understanding between
the powers, and of any means of set
ting disputed points. A Christian
state established in Palestine would
be in a stronger position. Perhaps
preferable to the old idea Of British
control, would be guaranteed neutral
state, all the great powers having rep
resentatives t the seat of government.
Permanent neutrality should be guar
anteed, and order might be kept by the
institution of gendarmerie, with Off
GERS specially selected by the Powers.
