Washington Correspondent on
The Wickersham Embroglio
Special Correspondence News Bureau,
Nome Nugffet, Washington, June 19.
The friends of Judge James Wicker
sham, in Alaska and New York, have
shown increased activity of late, in his
behalf. It is expected that when con
» gress meets again another determined
effort will be made to have the senate
confirm his nomination as judge of the,
third judicial division. Senator Pettus,
who was one -of the senators who stood
out against Wickersham’s confirmation,
while in Washington recently, stated
that as ,a member of the minority party
ordinarily he would not oppose the con
firmation of any man appointed to a
federal judicial position. But the char
ges that have been made against Wick
ersham have been so grave, the sena
tor said, that as a senator of the Unit
ed States he felt it his duty to stand
for .judicial integrity and fitness, above
any other consideration.
It is now alleged that should the pre
sident insist on the confirmation of the
appointment of Wickersham, the oppos
ing senators will demand that the chan
ges that have been filed be read in open
sesrioh of the senate and the matter
publicly vbhtilated. Thisfwonld be an
extraordinary proceedure, but if the
senators maintain their present attitude
it is likely to be done, unless, of courge,
the president does not renew his insis
tent demand.
The investigations of Assistant At
torney General Day last year have met
with the strongest condemnation in
many quarters. It is alleged that Day
was far from the performing the dut
ies imposed upon him in - an impartial
manner; that he permitted himself to
be used by designing persons having
their own axes to grind, and that his
investigation lacked what' was most
needed-thoroughness. One result of
this has been the preferment of charges
against the first assistant attorney gen
eral, whose record in Illinois, where he
formerly lived and practiced law, has
been looked up and placed in the hands
of the president.
