CHARLESTON, w. Va, Sept. IA
The Fairmont charter case Is to be
heard by the supreme court OF the
state without delay. After listening
TO the petition to have the charter
case heard as soon as possible. the su.
preme court decided today that the
case would come up for hearing on
Tuesday, October 5.
The motion OF the petitioners to
have the case settled as soon as pos.
sible owing to the fact that there was
great public interest in the case and
much depended on the outcome was
opposed by Senator Scott C. Lowe,
who was sworn into practice in the
supreme court this morning. and W.
E, r. sByrne, Charleston lawyer. Tho
court oyerruled all the objections
made by these attorneys and decided
that the case should be. expedited. -
This is a great victory for the char.
ter adherents, and there is little doubt
that when the case Is heard on It's
merits By the supreme court a de-
cision In favor Of the charter will be
made.
The action OF the Democratic coun-
sci today plainly shows that they do
not rely on the merits OF the charter
case, but are depending on technicali-
ties and delays to defeat the ends OF
Justice.
Assistant Attorney General Frank
Lively made the motion for the peti.

Anglo French Commission
Expects to Borrow With
out Security.
.VALL STREET m ELURRY
Asking for Straight Terms
Causes Big Sensation in
Financial Circles.
.(By Associated Press. )

:
NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE report
that the Anglo-French financial com.
mission contemplated borrowing bill.
lion dollars here without collateral of
any sort and solely on the government
notes of Great Britain and France
overshadows all other topics in the
financial section today.
Heretofore the opinion has pre-.
vailed that Great Britain and France
would secure the proposed mammoth
loan by American securities dollar for
dollar or by some other acceptable
form OF collateral. All calculations ot
American fnanciers prior TO the com.
missions arrival here have been based
on that asspn ion The, reportel
plan Of the commission provided for
a straight loans without collateral,
csusedJ the biggest sensation Of the
year in the New York financial dis
!trict. It was the consensus of sfinan-
cial' opinion that the commlssion
would find its task tremendously. more
difficult than would be the. case were
the proposed credit loan secured by
collateral of American bonds and stock
as at first suggested.
Whether strict Interpretation Of
American neutrality would permit the
issuance OF a straight commercial loan
on bonds OF two OF the allies warning
nations was topic of considerable
conjecture.
The. belief.prevailed that the admin.
istration at Washington would not in:
terfere. Before the commission reach
ed New York belief was prevalent in
some quarters here that Europe was
virtually on her knees to the United
States begging for money and that the.
American bankers were consequently
in position to dictate the terms. Those
who held this view are said to have
awakened with somewhat OF shock
to find that the commission enter
tanned no such belief, but maintained
that instead OF being masters OF the
situation American bankers would be
to great extent suppliants them
selves for favorable. terms.
Whether the commission could bor.
row the money on. terms lined with
the name today was not so much a
matter Of interest as, what might hap
pen to cripple American industry
should 1t fail. 7
