Charges Against Mason.

Mason was indicted in 1909 on charges
Of having embezzled certain money
amounting in three years to about $1,000
The money came into his hands while
he was clerk as fees and emoluments Of
office. 1t was claimed that the amount
was more than the compensation legally
permitted to be retained by him.
The court below struck out the three
counts in the indictment which alleged
the embezzlement,. on the ground that
title to the fees remained in the clerk and
was not vested in the United States, at
least until the clerk had taken out the
proportion due to him and made a return
Of the surplus in accordance with law.
From this holding the government ap-
pealed.

Leaving to one side the question as to
whether or not states may gerry
mander their territorryr for congressiona
districting purposes. Independent Of limi-
tations by Congress. the Supreme Court
Of the United States today dismissed for
want of jurisdiction the appeal from an
attack on an alleged gerrymander in
Kentucky.
The court held it was without jurisdic-
ton because the case concerned the con-
gressional election Of 1908. and, therefore.
the case now raised only a moot ques-
ton.
Republicans Appeal to Court.
Judicial proceedings were begun by re-
publicans in Kentucky in 1907 to test the
alleged "gerrymander'' of the state for
congressional election purposes. Charles
Richardson of the fourth congressional
district filed a suit asking that the Sec
rotary of State and his successor be en-
joined from printing on the official bal
lots in 1903 the names OF certain canol-
dates for Congress.
1t was claimed by him that the act OF
the Kentucky legislature had gerry
mandered'' the eleventh, eighth and third
districts in violation of statutes Of Con-
gress and the Constitution.
Such discrepancies existed in the ap-
portionment, 1T was claimed, that a
voter in the eighth district availed In
voting more than one and four-fifths
times as much as voter in the elev-
enth.
Results of the Election.
At the election in 1908, it was argued
before the Supreme Court, the repub-
licans carried the eleventh by over
81 900. while the democrats carried the
eighth by about LOO and the third by
about 500.
The Kentucky court Of appeals held
that 1t had mo power under the state
constitution to review the action Of
the legislature in districting the state
for congressional purposes. and 1T
questioned the power of Congress to
do so.

Your Rupture Will Never
Come Out Again

There can be no such thing as cure for
YOUR rupture until you have a truss that
keeps it constantly in place-eyery minute
of every day.
For the healing process must begin all
over again every time you have to put
your rupture back.
Just as a broken bone will never heal if
il has to be reset every day.
Even though your rupture comes out
only when you take your truss of-as
when in the bath-it is folly to hope tor a
cure.
Now, right here is one great advantage
in wearing a Cluthe TruSs--the. truss
which gives Automati Massage Treatment.
It's the only truss that's all waterproof.
So it's the only truss you can keep
on while taking your bath. There is
never a time when you are without proper
support.
Moreover, the Ciuthe is the only truss
that no strain or twist or movement Of
the body can force out of position over
the rupture opening.
You see, the Cluthe Truss has Auto
matte Holding Pads-self-adjusting with
every movement you make. The greater
the strain on your rupture, the more
securely these pads hold. Yet they don't
dig in.
We guarantee continuous and comfort
sbie holding, all day long and every day,
u. your money back. +
