Acting Attorney General Aldrich on Jude
Anderson's Resignation.

Acting Attorney General Aldrich- on Judge
Anderson's Resignation.
In adjudication this morning Judge Anderson
is quoted as complaining that his resignation as
judge Of the supreme court of Utah before the
expiration Of his term was forced from him be-
cause he was a democrat. The attention Of
Acting Attorney General Aldrich was called to
the matter today by STAR reporter. Judge
Adrich said:
az have seen Judge Anderson's statement as
to the cause of his resignation. It is not usu-
ally the practice of the department to make
public the reasons inducing such action was
taken in Judge Anderson's case. II the
judge desires it, however, presume the
Attorney General will consent to the publica-
ton of the letters written by the judge, and
confessed by him in his interview with the
Attorney General, as well as other matters re-
fecting upon his character, now on file in this
department. suggest that Judge Anderson
request the publication Of the files in the case,
and after such publication il Mr.. Harrity, the
chairman OF the democratic central committee,
will advise the President that he regards him
as fit man to fill judicial position 1 have
no doubt the President will give his recon-
mendation proper consideration.
~ will add if there was ever q case in our
history which called for the prompt retirement
of judicial officer that case, in my opinion, is
Judge Anderson's, and any attempt to give it
a political character cannot be successful, az
such charges are wholly without foundation"

Judge kimban Makes Some Remarks ON thu
Subject Of Railroad Obstructaons.
The steam railroad grade crossings were dis
cussed in the Police Court this morning when
Superintendent McKeever of the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad Company was charged with
having violated the section of the law against
obstructing the streets.
During the discussion IL was stated that COM
plants had been made by the cable and belt
line street railroads, but the witnesses who ap-
peared today gave testimony that was too in
definite
Lawyer McKenny, who appeared for Mr.
McKeever, said he thought the engineer or con-
ductor of the train was the man who should be
arrested and not the superintendent as his
orders are against any such action on the part
Of the employees
Judge kimball said he had known of cases
where it was absolutely impossible to get the
names OF trainmen and he had given the off,
GERS instructions to bring in the superintendent
Dir. Mcheever said that such was not the
as he said he never has refused to give the
names to the officers.
Judge Kimball said that the instance to
which he referred was on the Baltimore and
Ohio road, and the only name that could be
learned was Sam.
AAo yoo6c uItucr sdlu tnat In these cases
when the engineers or conductors are brought
In they make poor mouth. say they get small
salary and have a large family, but now they
have been warned and the courts wanted them
70 know that such plea in the future will not
be an excuse for leniency
when the superintendent is brought in and
convicted, said the judge, the court could i'm
pose fine adequate to the offense, and he was
thoroughly satisfied that the company would
pay the fine. although with the engineers and
conductors they say that the fines come out Of
their own pockets.
The sooner the tracks are put either over
head or underground" said the court, "the
sooner it will be better for all parties con-
cerned."
In conclusion the court said that in this case
the testimony was too vague and indefinite. and
would have TO dismiss the charge.
