Washington News
The house has adopted a resolu
tion Introduced by Representative
Hitchcock, calling for an investiga
tion by the rules committee regard
ing a delay of forty-nine days be
tween the time the Ballinger investi
gating committee reports were pre
sented to the house and tho date of
their receipt by the house commit
tee on agriculture. Mr. Hitchcock's
resolution caused a sensation and it
aroused the anger of Speaker Can
non, who waxed sarcastic in replying
to Mr. Hitchcock's speech, and ex
pressed the opinion that if Mr. Hitch
cock had been in Washington all tho
time he would not find anything mys
terious about the reports. The
speaker declared that tho reports
were referred promptly to tho house
committee on agriculture, and Rep
resentative Mann of Hlinols, Cooper
of Pennsylvania and Scott of Kansas
declared that any delay there might
have been was due to tho Inability
of the printing office to turn out a
map of Alaska as rapidly as could
have been desired. In reply to the
speaker and to his defenders, Repre
sentative James of Kentucky, a mem
ber of the Ballinger investigating
committee, called attention to the
fact that a period of twelve days
elapsed between the dates the re
ports were presented to tho house
by Representative McCaul, vice
chairman of the committee and the
day they were referred to the agri
cultural committee. This statement,
he said, was borne out by the house
records, from which he read. Mr.
James criticised the house organiza
tion and said that if congress had to
wait as long to get the reports back
from the committee as.it had to
wait to get them there congress
would have adjourned. Mr. Hitch
cock then declared that the house
and the country had a right to know
who was responsible for holding up
reports, and on his motion the reso
lution was adopted.
A Washington dispatch to the
Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal
says: "The staggering arithmetical
problem, complicated by questions of
international law, of how much of
the $33,000,000 debt of the old state
of- Virginia, West Virginia should
bear, was laid before the supreme
court of the United States for its
solution. Recognizing the intricacy
of the problem and the importance
of the outcome,' the court consented
to devote practically all its time un
til next Thursday to a hearing of
arguments In the case. This Is more
time than has been given to any oth-
er case argued before the supreme
court of the United States in many
years. The debt of Virginia at. the
time West Virginia was organized is
recognized as about $33,000,000.
Many more millions have been added
to that sum as Interest. The com
monwealth of Virginia seeks to have
West Virginia bear about one-third
of the debt. West Virginia denies
her liability for one cent. To settle
the controversy it may be necessary
for the supreme court to review the
expenditures and receipts of tho
state of Virginia since 1825 and
figure out from that examination the
liabilities. The commonwealth of
Virginia In 1906 began an action in
the supreme court to have an. ac
counting with West Virginia to de
termine the latter's 'equitable share
of the Indebtedness of the old com
monwealth' prior to the civil war
and just before West Virginia was
organized as a separate state. West
Virginia objected to the suit, but the
supremo court sustained tho conten
tions of Virginia on this point and
finally appointed a special master
former Representative Charles E.
Llttlefield of Maine to take testi
mony, evidently with a view to set
tlement, Mr. Llttlefield reported,
that both sides took exception to his
report. Today the case was set for
argument of these exceptions. The
equities of such situations are com
plicated by tho so-called Wheeling
ordinance and enactments and acts
of the two states. The ordinance
adopted at Wheeling providing for
the formation of the new state con
tained a provision that the new state
should take upon Itself a just portion
of the public debt of Virginia, to be
ascertained by charging It to all
state expenditures within the limits
thereof and a just proportion of tho
ordinary expenses of the Virginia
government since any part of tho
debt was contracted and deducting
therefrom tho moneys paid Into the
Virginia treasury from tho counties
within the now state. Virginia
claims that West Virginia should
pay at least one-third of the debt, or
about $11,000,000. But some years
ago West Virginia took the position
that a settlement according to the
Wheeling ordinance would put Vir
ginia actually in debt to West Vir
ginia In tho sum of $512,000. West
Virginia now claims that Virginia
cannot require it to pay one-third
of the debt because the bondholders
of that amount aro alleged to have
freed Virginia in a refunding ar
rangement from any liability there
for."
Republican leaders of congress de
clare there will be no necessity for
an extra session, for the important
appropriation bills will all be rushed
through, though much general legis
lation may hold over.
A Washington correspondent for
the Louisville Courier-Journal says:
"The bill for the election of United
States senators by direct vote is said
to bo in grave danger of defeat. The
opposition is said to have planned
to tack on a force bill amendment
in the hope that the democratic sen
ators will vote against the measure
when It comes up for passage'
Senator Paynter, democrat, of
Kentucky, defended Lorimer in a
speech in the senate. He was a mem
ber of the investigating committee.
Declaring the question to be a judi
cial one, Mr. Paynter said: "I do
not approach the Investigation with
any feeling or thought that the coun
try demanded a victim to appease
its wrath, neither did I suppose that
a sacrificial offering would be made
to satisfy a popular demand to give
character and standing to the administration."
A Washington, correspondent for
the Associated Press says: "Revela
tions of attempts to buy the editorial
support of tho New York Journal
of Commerce in favor of ship sub
sidy legislation, which that paper has
consistently opposed, was made to
the house ship subsidy investigating
committee by Alfred W. Dodsworth,
business manager of the paper. As
the result of tho evidence Mr. Dods
worth's brother, John W. Dodsworth,
editor of tho Journal of Commerce,
will be recalled to Washington to
explain why he failed to enlighten
tho committee in his recent testis
mony. It is probable that Charle
A. Conant of Now York, a former
Washington correspondent, may bo
asked to throw light on an offer to
subsidize tho paper, claimed to havo
boon forwarded through him to tho
Journal of Commerce, which ho then
