the suit of the State of Virginia
versus J. P. Morgan for the re-
covery of the will of Martha Wash
ington will be filed in few days in
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
John s. Barbour has been select

County to assist Attorney General
Pollard in the prosecution of the
case.
The will, which was stolen from
the records Of the court Of Fairfax
County during the War Between the
States, is now among the papers in
the library Of Mr.. Morgan. Efforts
were made year ago on resolution
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Thornton, to recover the will with
out recourse to the courts, but these
efforts having failed, suit was or
dered to be brought. The papers have
been prepared and legal steps are
now to be taken.

should be liable for interest on hef
nrouortion of the debt from that date
until paid.
The court already had found that
West Virginia's share OF the prin-
cipal debt of s33,O00,0OO should be
s7.1s2,O 900, but West Virginia about
q wear ago laid claims to joint assets
Of the two states. Virginia on other
hand claimed interest from West Vif-
GINA.
The report was extended and was
regarded as working radlcal cna's'
in the litigation.

the Supreme Court adopted the re-
latiye resources of the two states as

field reported that out OF Sl4,ooo'ooo

VIRGINIA would be entitled to S3,4lo,

eo,,ed the courts attention to the
testimony that West Virginia about

LETTERS THAT NEVER CAME.
Candidates for Postoffice Still on Spit
and Senator is Non Communicative


But the letter that he longed for
never came. It was a good old song
and it is being hummed today by a
half a dozen men in Kenosha who as
pire to be postmasters. Senator Hust-
ing broke his silence on Monday and
appointed A. j. Dopp, mayor of Wauke-
sha as postmaster, for that city and
later IN the day named Emery A. Odell
OF Monroe to succeed himself at Mon
roe. Odell is credited with being a re-
publican, but he is retained in Office on
account OF the fact that Senator Hust-
Ing considers him a rafting good man
for the job The action at Monroe has
raised haunting fear in the breasts
OF the local candidates. Some one has
simply suggested that the senator
might follow the same course in this
city. 1t was said that the senator
would send letters to the unsuccessful
candidates announcing his choice, but
the blue letter has not reached any
Kenosha people. Some of the men in
Kenosha who are close to the senator
now say that the appointment will be
made tomorrow.
