MASON TO BE SENATOR.
Chicago Man Elected by the Leg
islature Of Illinois.
The Successor-to-Be of John II. Palmer
Is Well known All Over the West
His Experience as a Law
maker.

William Z. Mason was horn July Z,
1850, in the little village of Franklin
vile, n. Y, where his family lived until
he was six years old. He IS the young
est of a family of IA children, nine of
whom were boys. In 1856 his par
ents moved to Bentonport, Ia, where
his father built the first hotel and be-
came its manager. Young Mason devel-
oped decided inclination for books and
study and after passing through the
common school course of Bentonport
with great credit he began teaching
the district school.
In connection with his school duties
il the capacity of teacher he at the same
time underwent a course at the college
Of Birmingham, Ia, which was situated
close enough to enable him to attend
to school and student duties without
inconvenience. At the age of 10 he
graduated with high honors and went
to Des Moines, where he became a
teacher in the high school. He contin-
ued in this position until he reached the
age of q, during which time he devoted
his spare moments TO the study of law
and shorthand. After reaching his ma
jority he went into the law office of
Thomas Withrow, where he continued
the study of law, and year later, when
Mr.. Withrow was made general solicitor
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railway, with headquarters at Chicago,
he went with him as his clerk.
For three years he served as Mr.. With
rows clerk, and then, having perfected
himself in the art of shorthand report
ing, he became court reporter and
worked for John NJ. Jewett. Mean
while he had studiously devoted him
self to the study of law, and after three
or four years he had so far advanced in
legal knowledge that he decided to make
legal embarkation himself, and part
nership was formed with NJ r. w. Wal
lace, now Judge Wallace, and the firm
of Wallace &; Mason hung out it's shin

NEW VOTING MACHINE.

salient feature is that the voter sees
exactly how he votes. In other ma
chimes the voter has no evidence what
ever, but must trust the machine with
out knowing how his vote is cast.
The voter is registered ON the poll
lists as in all elections, then he enters
the booths by means of the swinging
front door. By an automatic connec-
ton the machine is unlocked. The
voter now decides whether he will vote
a straight or mixed ticket-if a straight
ticket he raises the lower latch, which
instantly opens the straight ticket slot,
and at the same time locks all the slots
for voting the mixed ticket. Then he
takes up the stamp of his party and
prints the name of his party on the bal
lot within the machine. Walking out
the door swings in an opposite direction
and throws that ballot or vote into the
machine, locks it up and leaves it ready
for the next voter.
To vote q mixed ticket the voter
presses down the upper latch. This in
stantly opens the slots for every Office,
blDl dO Lllc SAINT lOChS Illo
ticket slot, and the mechanism carry
ing the ballot so that it cannot be
moved neither backward nor forward.
The voter now stamps the name of the
candidates party through the Office
slots.
To vote for man not on the ticket
often taken advantage of in local cleo
tions-he writes his name in full to-
gether with the Office, on a slip of paper
and deposits it in a large slot at the bot
tom of the machine. He then writes or
stamps his initials in the slot of the Of
fee for which he voted.
That voting machines would simplify
and render safe elections and are pos
sibility of the near future there can
be no doubt, since fraudulent votes
could not be cast, and every vote would
be counted exactly as the voter intended,
the result being determined in as many
minutes as it now takes hours.

wax paper patent case. Roscoe Conk-
ling was the opposing counsel and thu
case was finally taken to the supreme
court of the United States before it
was decided. Mr.. Mason was a leader in
the worlds fair fight in securing an ap-
preparation to locate the fair at Chica-
go and was warmly eomplimented by
Speaker Reed for his efficiency in bring
ing the contest to a successful issue.
Through the influence of Mrs. John A.
Logan in 1890 Mr.. Mason was accorded
an interview with Gladstone and be-
came personally acquainted with the
eminent English statesman and grand
old man.
The name of Billy" Mason is well
knowp throughout the length and
breadth of the Sucker state, and almost
equally as well all over the country.
He enjoys the recognized distinction of
being the champion campaigner of Hi
nois. During the past eight years he
in all probability has addressed more
people in Illinois than any other man
during that time.

gle and began the struggle with an ad-
verse world for a place as attorneys st
law.
In 1873 Mr.. Mason married Edith NJ.
White, of Des Moines. The union has
been blessed with nine children, Of
whom seven are living. Mr.. Mason was
q member of the house in the Thirty
first and Thirty-second general assem-
blies and a senator in the Thirty-third
general assembly. He was also a mem
Der in the Fiftieth and Fifty-frst con-
crosses. He served with Mai. McKin-
ley, who was the leader of the house in
the Fifty-first congress, and who al
ways turned his charge over to Mr..
Mason during his absence. Mr.. Mason
made the two nomination speeches
which twice placed John A. Logan and
Shelby NJ. Cullom on the United States
senatorial ticket. The resolution pro-
viding for the discrimination of con-
tract labor in the penitentiaries was in
PRODUCED by Mr.. Mason.
For six years he was at the head Of the
law firm Of Mason & Ennis in Chicago.
Among the achievements which have
accrued to his fame was the winning

Somebody Found the Key.

One brilliant western woman living
at Forest Heights, near Minneapolis,
Mimi, should not die unsung. Having
ordered some provisions to be sent
home in the afternoon and finding that
after all she wanted to goout, shepinned
a note on the door to inform the deliv-
cry man where he could find the key.
When she got home there were no gro
ceries there, neither was there any sill
verware or other easily portable val
uables.

A new vote recording machine that
Overcomes several objections to voting
machines heretofore exhibited is be-
ing built in Cincinnati.
The illustration shows the machine
with one booth open ready for voting,
the middle booth partially open, giving
a good view of the voting slots, the
third booth closed, as all would be
when the machine is not in use.
This machine, as compared with
others, is inexpensive, and as three men
can vote at once, has remarkable speed.
Instead of a complicated voting device

VALUABLE GAMECOCk.

Recently Sold to the Earl OF EIIesmere
for Thousand Dollars.
A man in England paid $1,000 for a
chicken short time ago, although the
fact is not basis for speculation as to
English poultry market prices. In
point of fact the price was considered
SO outrageous even for gamecock
that the story of the sale when it first
began to circulate found few believers.
But it was a genuine sale. The money
was paid and the chicken taken.

THE SECOND zoECKLER INQUEST
The Stigma of Suicide Removed by tht
 Verdict.

The second inquisition into the cir man B. F. Zoeckler was concluded yesterday before Acting Coroner Kin caid, by whom the former verdict of death by suicide was set aside upon the motion of the assistant district attorney. The verdic- yesterday was singular in enc respect. AS signed by eight of the nine members, John Gray, Leo Goldman, F. c. Norris, E. H. Mowre, Charles W. Stew ems, F. L. Warner and G. B. Buxton, the verdict sets forth that the deceased came to his death from a wound caused by a gun In the hands of some unknown party" The verdict was signed by the remaining member of the jury, w. T. Barr, but his signature was accompanied by the statement that he agreed with the other members except as to the i'm plication of "some unknown party" The verdict removes the stigma of suicide at any rate. The only new witness introduced was G. l.. Willis craft His testimony had no direct bearing upon the circumstances of the shooting, but showed that for some time Zoeckler had been apprehensive of injury at the hands of some other person. Three weeks ago, he said he and Zoeckler were going to their homes one night Mir Williscraft's residence is not far from the Zoeckler residence. When they had gotten into the neighborhood of the latter,

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Which Began Last Night, September
 Fifteenth.

This is the Mexican Fourth of July, the eighty-seventh anniversary of Mex ican independence. The anniversary really began last night, for on the night of September 15, 1910, began the conspiracy which resulted in the independence of Mexico a little more than a decade tlater. Though the head of the conspiracy, that scholarly and intrepid priest, Miguel Hidalgo, never lived to see the freedom of his of the republic. He suffered martyr dom with Allende, Aldama and Jim inez within less than a year after the revolt in Guanajuatoa, the little beginning of the great revolution.
 Without the priesthood Mexico never could have been freed, so Mo- relos took up the work laid down by the godly and patriotic Miguel and he called the first Mexican congress in September, 1913. Morelos was martyred two years later, but in the meantime constitution had been pro mulgated and independence had been declared.
 The warfare was partisan and seemingly ineffective and as late as 1920, the power of Spain was appar- ently unshaken. Things happened with startling rapidity then. There came the revolution in Spain, the re- volt of Iturbide in Mexico, his proc lamation of independence in 1921, his treaty with the vice>oy the same year, the establishment of his empire the next year, his abdication the year fol- lowing and then the incipient republic.
 This is the great holiday of Mexicans in Arizona, though it has seldom been effusively celebrated in late years in Phoenix. Last night it was ushered in at the opera house by pa trioic performance by the Mexican Dramatic club. Today will be quiet ly celebrated here, but in Tempe ar engagements have been made to keep the memory .'of MeXico's Eirthday alive and the greatness and the devo- tion of Hidalgo and Morelos will be recalled. Little will be said Of Itur- bide.

SMALL BOOM IN MILK.
Which Held Sway During Millionaire
 Starr's Stay in Phoenix.

Information comes to Phoenix that
 Theodore Starr, the millionaire jew
 eler of New York, has arrived at
 Santa Barbara, Cal, On a special train
 consisting, beside the engine, tender and baggage car, of two Pullman pal
 ace cars. One was occupied by MT.
 Starr and his family and the other bv
 Jersey COW.
 MT Starr made Phoenix lhis winter
 nome two years ago and left train
 or sunshine in his wake. It cost him
 Sl,oOO a month for the necessaries of
 life, to say nothing of the luxuries.
 The story of the COW in the Pullman recalls an incident of MT. Starr's resi- dence in Phoenix. Before he had been here long he began clamoring for Jersey milk and he delegated sev- eral prospectors to follow various
 leads. AA last they located Jersey
 COW belo4 ling to W. s. Lawrence. MT.
 Starr hi an expert veterinarian to
 examin6 her with reference to her health and robustness His report was favorable, whereupon MT. Starr
 employed another expert to assay the | milk. The certificate of assay showed high average of health giving ingre- dients. Then MT. Starr began nego- t1at1ng with MT. Lawrence for a lease on the COW. He didn't want to buy , her, not because he was intimidated by the cost, but he didn't want to be overwhelmed with the responsibility
 Of ownership. Under the terms after i ward agreed upon by him and MT.
 Lawrence, Mir. Starr was to assume the expense of the cows maintenance and i pay for the milk at the rate of 75 cents
 quart. MT. Starr did a great deal
 more than he contracted to do. He caused small, but snug and palatial stable to be built. The floor of the stable was carpeted; the carpet was of
 better grade than many people are able to lay on their parlor floors. The cows manager was constructed of nickel plated bars. There were other expensive and unusual appurtenances in the dOmicile of this favored Jersey.
 MT. Starr knew enough aboTt live stock to know that these appoint ments would add to neither .he quan- l tity nor quality of the milk. He
 wanted to impress the COW from the | outset that he wanted good service and was willing and able to pay for it. l He ran the risk, of course of filling the COW with lofty ideas and raising
 her above her station in life. But the | COW was a sensible animal and stuck l to her knitting all winter, supplying
 the Stary family with all the $3 a
 gallon milk they could consume. A

Zoeckler directed the witness atten- tion to a man who was skullzing along the street. Zoeckler said he had been afraid of him for a long time Zoeckler did hot tell the witness, if he knew, who he man was, or what cause he had Sb fear him. MT. Willis craft afterward saw the man seated at the soda fountain at Wakelinfs phar macy. He did not know him.
 Dr. Wylie, whd was called imme- diately after the discovery of Zoeck- ler's dead body. tAstified that while the wound might Have been self in tiicted, it was extremely improbable that it was so. Regarding the blood spots and the daubs Npr smears found upon the wall of the room two feet from the head of tha> dead man, the doctor believed the d4ubs had been communicated to the Mall from the clothing of some one hp the room. This opened the door fox suspicion still wider. The former theory was that the blood had splattered Npon the wall when the dead man fell and that the clothing of some one, perhaps >nls daughter or a member of the jury, had brushed against the plots before they were quite dry. According to the latter theory the blood communi- cated to the wall must have fallen upon the clothing or person, one who was in the room at the time the body fell If there was such a per son he was murderer.
 Al other testimony was the same or essentially the same as that ad- duced at the former inquest.
Arizona republican., 1897-09-16

great many of the earlier residents of Phoenix were inclined to sheer at MT. Starr. They questioned the business foresight of even millionaire who would drink milk at $3 gallon when he could buy a good brand of whisky for the same money.
 At last the springtlme came and with it the separation of the Stars and the Jersey. It was, no doubt, painful on both sides, but was tenn pered as to the Stars with a con- sciousness that they had drunk enough milk during the winter to last them through the summer. On the part of the COW regret was mitigated. She had amaSSed a small fortune at the rate of about $6 a day for MT. Law renee, with whom she was now solid for all time to come. Her future was assured. There is a fervent and prev alent hope in Phoenix that Mir. Starr will soon weary of Santa Barbara and return to Phoenix.
