Follow Negotiations With Governor.

The new proceedings followed neSotia-
tons between former Gov. Hatfield of
West Virginia and the Virginia commits
sioners for consideration of the 'set-offS'
claimed by West Virginia. The Supreme
Court refused over Il year ago to issue
writ Of execution for attachment OF
West Virginia property in satisfaction Of
it's judgment, Withholding action until
after the meeting OF the present legisla-
ture.
Virginia:s petition declares that the
state has no other effective remedy than
mandamus and will be unable to satisfy
the judgment unless mandamus requires
the West Virginia legislature to provide
for payment" The petition asserts that,
although the West Virginia Legislature
has been in session since January 10 and
will adjourn February "a. it has taken
no steps whatever to provide for pay
1nent"
1T appears that it is not the
intention of the authorities to take any
steps by legislation or otherwise to bring
about either the levy of q tax or the pay
ment of the judgment" Nirginia's petit
ton charges. but it is the intention to
delay said payment under pretext of ne
gotiating' or APPLYING for a re-
hearing. Under these circumstances the
complainant is entitled to a writ of man
damus.

the Class OF IL Il. h. S. pre-
sented the annual play to as
large an audience as has been
seen in the opera house for
some time.
The play selected. The Time
of His Life, was a comedy and
a good one. and the cast selected
presented it in a most accepta-
ole manner. The story is of a
young man who volunteers to
masquerade as a colored sery-
ant and the results are numer-
Gus situations which are decid-
eddy humorous. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bob Grey. at whose home the
action is laid, were presented by
Donald Warner and Grace Gray.
Donald carried the part of the
successful business man with
western mining interests very
effectively and Miss Gray. as the
impulsiva hostess who was apt
to grasp any possibility to save
a situation, was very good. Rus
