General regret was expressed among
all the State officials Mt the Capitol
yesterday over the death of Judge
Mason. He had been in Ill health Cor
months, and from time to time the
Governor has designated other circuit
judges to hold his terms of court. but
1t had been understood until recently
that he was recovering.
Probably his authorship of the Ma.
son railroad bill was the one act which
has brought Judge Mason most prom
inently before the people of the whole
State. This measure was prepared
whilo he was a member of the House
of Delegates during the session Of
1892. a bill which was regarded as
drastic was offered by Robert C. Kent.
of Wythe, afterward Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, and the Mason bill was in the
nature of a compromise, combining
features demanded by the public, while
not severely hampering the railroads
Whatever its merits or dement's may
have been, it was the law of the State
as to the regulation of railroads for
ten years. 1t was passed In. lieu OF the
Kent bill. and was the first law In
Virginia which contained a long and
short haul provision 1t also prohibit
ed the issuance of passes to members
of the Legislature. The law was ad-
ministered by Railroad Commissioners
Hill and his successor, Commissioner
p. A. Akers, until the coming Of the
State Corporation Commission under
the provisions of the new Constitu-
ton.
Judge Mason represented the coun-
ties of Stafford and King George in
the House in the sessions of 1SS9-9O,
1892 and 1884. He was the chair
man of the Committee on Propositions
and Grievances, which is now the Com,
