Man Who Wounded
Deputy Sheriff
Attempts To Die
George Matheson, Who Shot
]. C. Baker l8 Years Ago,
But Never Served Term,
Takes Poison.

George Matheson. 81, who shot
and seriously wounded Deputy
Sheriff J. c. Baker 18 years ago near
Weston, Ia, took poison yesterday
at his home, l410 South Eighth
street, Council Bluffs, and is in Sc
rious condition at the Jennie Ed
mundson Memorial hospital. DR.. A.
A. Robertson says he may die.
Matheson was still youth when
he became implicated in the theft OF
$500 worth of jewelry from the Wes-
ton postofice in 1908. Baker went
to the Matheson farm on the case
and walked up the railroad tracks
with the youth to search for some
of the loot alleged to have been
cached.
They failed to find it and when the
deputy sheriff placed Matheson
under arrest, the youth drew re-
volver and shot him in the chest.
The bullet was never removed and
the former deputy has been in poor
health ever since at his home, 50
North Seventh street.
Matheson was not prosecuted on
the robbery charge. but he stood
trial on the charge of assault with in
tent TO commit murder. He was
convicted and sentenced to serve
eight years in the penitentiary. The
case was appealed, rernanded for new
trial and ultimately tangled in so
much cross litigation that it was
dropped and Matheson never served
day of the term.
Police could assign no motive for
his act yesterday in attempting to
commit suicide. The character of
the poison in the half-ounce bottle
which he emptied has not been de-
termined either. The man was un-
conscious and foaming at the mouth
when police arrived to take him to
the hospital. He left no note

RUSSIANS TRYING
TO SPEED UP ON
FACTORY OUTPUT

P:~1. T.9--ia. 40, 1e.-HI-25- o.
periments are beng IIltrUuuced IN the
management and supply system of
Russian factories in an effort by the
Bolshevik government to increase
production in order to obtain products
to exchange with the peasants for
food.
Some time ago a piece work scale
was introduced in the hope that this
would incite individual workmen to
increased efforts. According to a Mos
cow dispatch, all factory manage
ments have been ordered to carry it
into effect urgently and Immediately.
In many industrial concerns a col
lective rationing plan has been sub
stituted for the old system of grant
ing individual rations. Under the new
method a whole factory is granted a
monthly allowance of foodstuff and
money on the condition that it turns
out a stipulated amount of goods.
If the factory is able to produce this
quantity with smaller number of
workmen than estimated, the surplus
of foodstuffs and money can be dis
tributed among the workmen as a
premium.
The All-Russian Council of Trade
Unions has ISSUED circular pointing
out that increases of wages in money
payments are inadvisable at this time
because this would necessitate an
increase in the output of currency
which the government is even now
unable TO print in sufficient quantities
The government is said 10 have been
printing until lately about 200, 900 ,000,-
600 rubles Of paper money a month
This amount has been increased to
the maximum possible output of the
printing machines.
