RULING FAvoRs MASON.

Da Moines, Feb. 1.-E. r. Mason.
formerly clerk of the federal court. who
is being sued by the government for
the recovery Of a large amount Of fees
which 1t claimed he collected and failed
to account for, may force the federal
officers to drop the suit as result of
an important ruling made by Judge T.
c. Munger in the trial of the case yes
terday.
This ruling was to the effect that Mr..
Mason, as the defendant in the suit,
could admit as testimony the reports
of all the expert examiners who
checked the accounts of his office dur
ing the time he held it.
All of these reports were made at the
time the accounts were fresh, and all
records were in the office, and showed
there were no discrepancies Of any
kind whatever. The reports were
made by men who are said to be expert
accountants sent out from Washington.
According to Mr.. Mason, If there had
been any fees unaccounted for 1t would
have been reported at that time.
The report on which the government
bases it's suit was made just prior to
and after the time Mr.. Mason resigned
from the position Of clerk, and covered
a period of thirty-six years. 1t was
claimed by Mr.. Mason at the time that
he could not produce some Of the
vouchers asked for by the accountants
because they had been lost He said
that the office had been moved sew
eral times during that period. and that

Iowa City. Feb. 1.-Surgeons are

suicide, by cutting his throat with a
razor as chronicled in these dis

shortly after they had sewed UP the
severed ends Of his jug ular vein, which
he had slashed in two. with many cuts.
The surgical operation was successful,
seemingly, and the staunching OF blood
and the closing Of the gaping wounds
left the aged man conscious. rational
and DESTROYS of living.
Suddenly, his epiglottis began to
swell. Just as they were preparing to
take him to the hospital. He would
have choked tocdeath rim a few sec

Broodsd Over Many Deaths.
Nine deaths in the family. during the
past two years. and an approaching d.
vorce suit, brought by his daughter
against her husband, have caused the
minister to brood greatly, and finally
break down. He was to 80 to san
atorium in Chicago today, but begged
off long enough to issue the February
number of the Iowa Methodist, the Of
fetal organ of the church in Iowa -
which he has edited thirty years. This
he accomplished Then he wrote the
names of his subscribers on the wrap
pers: wrapped the entire output Of the
presses, prepared the packages for
mailing; placed them on his study table
and then crossed the yard to his
sons home. There he entered bath
room; locked the door; took a mirror,
to insure the directionnof the blade
and deliberately slashed his throat back
and forth a number uf times.

Monday afternoon, in the Elliott
Wilson drug store, where he was EN- =
ployed, John Sas was seriously injured
in a friendly scuffle with friend who
happened in for moment The young
men were in the front OF the store and
the scuffle lasted but minute or so
when the injury was received by Sas.
He seemed to collapse without warning
and fall, a dead weight to the tile
floor, with his friend on top. Efforts
were made to revive him and physi-
clan was summoned. The doctor
thought hot applications would be ben
eficial and John was taken into the
Boone National Turkish bath parlors.
Here he was worked with for several
hours, but did not regain conscious
ness. He remained in a stupor. I'M
able to talk or do anything for him
self. Later 1t was deemed advisable
to take him to the Eleanor Moore hos
pital and this was done as soon as the
ambulance arrived. He did not regain
consciousness until 10 o'clock. The in
jury is to the back but the spine Is not
broken, as at first reported.
