Prose Poet Is Found Dead.

get re lie f from the pangs o f an in­
ternal disorder, Jdhn Scanlon, better
known under his pen name o f “ W alL
Mason,” was found dead in his studio
at 913 Arch street.
The discovery
was due to a search made by a sister,
whb had not heard from him for a long­
er period than usual. In addition to
being an artist and illustrator, Scan­
lon, wrote poetry in proee in a humor­
ous style which waa published in sev­
eral o f the leading magazines.
