master Fraua Maies. one ot Ine best
known democrats in the state OF Kan
sa,. committed suri e by shooting
himself At his home. as Washington
avenue, yesterday morning. THE cause
Of his suicide WAS the discovery Of a
shortage In his accounts with the gov.
eminent. The discovery had just been
made by Inspectors sutton and Reid,
Of the post office department at WASH
ington. Rather than face the charges
Of official dishonesty Mr.. Mapes took
his own life. The affair has created
sensation In this city. The last time
Mr.. Mapas was at the post office was
Friday night. The inspectors ar.
rived Thursday and began the in
spection Of his books. They have not
yet completed the examination, but
have ascertained that the amount Of
the shortage will be between 5000
and 10000. Thursday and Friday they
found some discrepancies in the book
accounts at the Office. The postmas-
ter, so the employees say. always kept
the books under lock and key and
would not allow anyone TO handle
them. The shortage extends over 10
mouths, the inspectors say, and was
covered up by false entries in the books
and in reports sent to the department
ut Washington.
