loaded with whisky purchased in
Baltimore, which the captain boldly
sold, anchored Wednesday night off

1t is reliably reported that he sold
500 quarts of whisky before sailing
yesterday morning for another port,
possibly Norfolk.
Westmoreland authorities have
communicated with the Governors
office, and aid from the Virginia navy
was promised, but failed to materia-
lie.
The schooner is said to be heavily
armed and the captain has sworn
vengeance in case of any interfer-
ence.
For the last week the vessel has
been lying in the Potomac off the

MAKES A SUDDEN MOVE
Governor Makes Procedure Toward
Collection of the West Virginia
Debt Long Due This State.

Sheriff Herbert Mercer, of Rich
mond, and four special deputies are
in the capitol of West Virginia to
serve preliminary papers in the Ia
nous debt claim suit, which has been
decided in favor of the Common
wealth of Virginia by the United
States Supreme Court. This is the
first legal step to be taken in an eff
fort to compel the state of West Vir-
ginia to pay her just debts to Vir-
ginia and the bondholders.
Strict secrecy has been preserved
regarding this initial move by Gov
ernor Stuart, Attorney General Pol
lard and other state authorities, it
being feared that if the intentions of
the Virginia officers were known the
West Virginia legislature, which IS
now in session, would adjourn SO that
the members might evade service OF
the papers by scattering to their
homes. No word of the action con-
templated was given by the sheriff
or his deputies before they departed.
Obviously they had been cautioned
against revealing the object of their
mission, the time of departure or
their destination.
Sheriff Mercer and his special staff
met at the station a few minutes be-
fore taking the train for Wheeling
Wednesday night. The presence Of
the party excited the curiosity OF
prominent citizens who discovered
the sheriff in conference with the
deputies, but none of the party would
acknowledge that any particular
business had brought him to the sta
tion o. that he was travelling out of
the city. Sheriff MERGERS office
inquiries concerning his whereabouts
elected no information.
All Of the deputies accompanying
the Richmond sheriff were. appointed
for this special service by the COVER
nor and the attorney general. They
are George W. Rogers, Stanley
Clarke, John J. Wicker and Detective
Frank W. Gentry. All are private
citizens except Detective Gentry, who
is member Of the Richmond police
department.
It was said in Richmond yesterday
that the party which left Wednesday
night was accompanied by several at
torneys, one or two Of whom are un-
derstood to have boarded the train
at other points. The papers in the
case are declared to be copies of the
orders issued by the courts since
the hearings. with a statement Of
the account and the mandate of the
supreme court of the United States
for West Virginia to come across and
make good the judgment.
Sheriff Mercer and his deputies ar
rived in Wheeling this morning
shortly before noon.

Serious Disorder in New York And
PhiIadelphia-Many Arrests Made.
in Connection With Bread Riots.

Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-After day
! of disorder in which crowds of women
of tho Jewish quarters who were
clamoring against high food prices
charged by dealers in the neighbor-
hood had several clashes with the
police. two women were injured yes
terdav and a man was shot in the
hand by policeman.
New York, Feb. 23.-Riots. includ-
ing attacks on butcher shops, destruc-
ton of push-carts and Doycotts on
high-priced foods were continued by
women in many quarters of Greater
New York yesterday.
Housewives who attempted to buy
chicken, fish, onions or potatoes were
attacked and their purchases de-
stroyed Butcher shops and fish
markets were surrounded by angry
crowds, who dared the owners to
come out Fifty arrests were made.
Washington, Feb. 23.-Many E PITY
cars rolled West at passenger train
speed yesterday from congested rail
road yards of the East, according to
Interstate Commerce Commission adj
vices from its field force of investi-
gators Fair weather and holiday
combined gave the roads the first real
opportunity in more than week to
exert their maximum energies to re-
l!eve the car shortage that has threat
cred conditions approaching famine
in some sections of the country.
Officials of both the railroads and
the commission expressed the convic-
ton last night that the acute stage
Of the shortage had passed, and that
steady Improvement in the situation
would continue. At no time, it was
said, had conditions reached the
acutaness of the tie-up q year ago.
Nationwide boycott on high priced
foods may be called for by proclama-
ton from the White House.
Representative Meyer London, So
ciaiist, introduced bill in the House
to expcnd S5,0O0,00O to feed the poor
and needy through Federal food
emergency commission. Senator Bo-
rah indicated he would ask for an ap-
preparation of S50,0OO,O00 for the
same purpose, if it became necessary.
The railroad car shortage commits
sion make the direct charge that
spectators are manipulating food
prices to increase profits.
Despite the furry of excitement
and the gaIvanic effect on the heads
Of government of the realization
/ that thousands OF people are facing
actual want, there was no definite ac-
ton in sight last night. Only the
"dynamitc" campaign Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission to move
freight cars loomcd up as an actual
step to relieve the people, and the
railroad heads in Washington de-
clared that the car shortage could
not be held responsible for the short
age of food and fuel in the great
cities.
