Special Washington Correspondence,
Nome Nugget. June 14.
Washington, D. C., May 29.—No in
formation is obtainable as to the char
ges that have been most recently filed
against Judge Wickersham. They are
to the effect, however, that he is inter
ested in mining claims in the Fairljanks
district, as well as in the townsite of
Fairbanks: that he is the owner of
water rights in various creeks, claims
which are in litigation, which he has
already adjudicated. But there is still
more to follow. The statements made
are so grave that when congress meets
there will probably be an extensive air
of the whole matter.
Wickersham, it is said, is growing
rich fast, through his townsite holdings
and it was pointed out that if Gov. J.
H. Brady was culpable in permitting
the use of his name to further the in
terests of a mining company, how much
more culpable is a judge of the district
court.who traffics in mineral lands and
to vn lots. Judge Brown, of the first
judicial division, was summarily remov
ed from office last fall becaused he tri
ced case in which he had a pecuniary in
terest. Judge Moore of the second ju
d nal dr ision is also charged with be
ing interested in various mining enter
prises, one of which, at least, the so
c^leu ifcidas <reek” affair, which
prove to be a deliberate swindle, has
caused no end of comment here.
Another thing which has been com
mented upon here, through the receipt
of letters from Alaska at the various
departments, and from other sources,
is the objection made by Alaska to the
crediting to Alaska of such appoint
itients as Wickersham and Hobart, the
new collector of customs, to Alaska. It
is pointed out that both men are from
the state of Washington, and claim no
other than an official residence in Alas
ka. Of CQurse this was done in ac
cordance with the president’s announc
ed “home rule” policy—that is to give
federal appointments in Alaska to bona
fide residents of the district. Credit
ing these appointments to Alaska, as
has been'done in the above cases, it is
pointed out is a mere subterfuge—a
sort of beating the devil around the

the president.
H. K. Love, rough rider, friend of
the president, and a clamorer for gov
ernment flesh-pots, who has just been
appointed timber inspector for Alaska,
has left for the scene of his labors. By
the way, it is stated that had Govern
or Brady not agreed to be good, the
president had determined to make Love
governor in his place and stead, again
ignoring the previously announced
‘ home rule’ * policy.
