REPORT UNTRUE.

TT HE dispatch from washington few days ago in
which 1t was stated that Judge Mason OF this city,
had been appointed to position on the Supreme
Court oench in order get him of the Virginia debt
commission was, according to reliable information,
dream political writer The attention of Gov
ernor Hatfield who appointed Judge Mason to the su.
preme Court bench, called to the article when
appeared In Huntington paper. He deemed it SO pre-
poserous upon its face and papaby false that he did
not think 1t worthy of any comment or denial The ar.
ticle did great injustice to Judge Mason as he was one
of the most faithful members of the debt commission
and probably has made more complete study OF the
case than has any other individual in the state The
dispatch is splendid example of the kind Of stun that
comes occasionally from Washington in an effort to dis
credit Governor Hatfield and the Republican admnisra
ton in trying to settle the West Virginia debt case on
just and equitable basis
