Charge Against City Treasurer. DOss, of
NashviIle-Attempted Suicide.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 3.-City
Treasurer Walter o. Doss was this
morning suspended from office by
Mayor Dudley, pending an investi-
cation of his accounts. Investiga-
tion during the day showed that
funds had been misappropriated
and when warrant was served on
him tonight Doss attempted sui
eide. Attention was attracted to
Doss' accounts Saturday, when his
personal check for $l95 was turned
down, and city's deposits for Friday
made short by this amount. Doss
was at home sick, and investigation
showed that he had been engaged in
kiting checks. He had used the
city's money and deposited each
day his personal check for the
amount of the shortage. He would
protect his check with early-morn-
ing collections the next day.
When Mayor Dudley removed him
this morning work was begun on his
books and vouchers, ara up to to.

have been raised, two for 500 each
and one for $40, so that, so far a:
known, DOss is 1920 behind.
When the City Marshal notified
DOss of his removal he begged that
Mayor Dudley hold up the matter
stating that the money used woulC
be returned; that he would not live
twenty-four hours, and that his wife
and family would be saved from dis
grace. This intimation of attempted
suicide caused the agent of the Fl
deity Company, which was on Doss
bond for $4,000, to swear out war
rant, charging FRAUDULENT misappro
priation of funds.
Officers were sent to DOss' resi-
dence to arrest and guard him. Th,
warrant had just been served, whel
he slipped a revolver from unde
his pillow and shot himself over the
heart. The ball struck rib anC
glanced around his body, making
painful but not fatal wound.

that IL would be 10 Canada's advantage 10

the ancient colony was permitted 10 ar
range a special treaty with the United

reached the point OF ratification when the
Dominion government nterfered and was
successful in securing the hanging up OF

that II had declared lis policy to be that
no commercial arrangements with a for
