DEBT COMMISSION
WANTS COURTS AID
Does Not Know How to
Distribute s13,OOO,OOO
1t Now Has.

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-The yir.
glnia Debt Commission is about to call
upon the courts of the state to make
arrangements for the distribution of
the $13,5OO,o0o which West Virginia
has paid over to Virginia as the for.
mer's part of the old Virginia state
debt and which belongs in part to Vir-
glnia and in part to individual credi.
tors. There are many Baltimoreans
among these creditors.
: This action has been found neces.
sary by the Virginia commission, that
the courts might share with 1t the re-
sponsibility for the proper distribu.
ton OF the assets. The commission
might have proceeded upon its own
motion and authority to make settle.
ment, but preferred to have the courts
assist.
To this end motion has been made
in the Virginia Circuit court at Rich
mond calling upon the court to assume
jurisdiction over the $13,500, 900 now
in the custody of the Debt Commits.
sion, to appoint a master to pass upon
all claims and to arrange through the
commission for the settlement of all
proper claims.
West Virginia has paid over the en-.
tire amount OF the Judgment against
her. A total of S1,os7, 900 in cash has
been handed to the debt commission,
and the remainder, which Is in bonds,
will be delivered as soon as the securi-
ties can be printed, signed and record.
ed. The transaction has been con.
cluded in SO far as the two states are
concerned, except the minor detail OF
delivering the bonds and taking up the
notes given In place OF the bonds.
When the money finally was paid
over the debt commission found itself
confronted with number of perplex-
ing questions, the most important of
which was the distribution OF the vast
sum OF money. There was no fixed
rule to guide tbs commission in the
matter. and that body finally turned to
the United States Supreme court with
a formal motion that this tribunal su.
psT.ntend the distribution. But the
Supreme court declined. on the ground
that It had no Jurisdiction. Il contend
Cd that ths Law suit between the two
states having been adjudicated and
the litigation formally closed, 81 was
not the part " The court to tell yir.
ginia how abe must distribute the mon
ey which came To har as . result Of the
judgment.
Meantime, Zone of the upney IN
possession o: ne debt osmmiSsion win
be paid out. In fact. the commission,
1t was learned today, Is IN much doubt
as to the caRtms o: tho creditors. That
body doee not know. for example, how
much OF the money should 80 70 the
state of Virginia itself and how much
to the individual creditors.
