JUDGE PERELES WILL RETIRE
Milwaukee Man Will Relinquish the
Bench June l.

Milwaukee, Jan. 11.-Judge James
Madison Pereles of the Milwaukee
county court has decided not to be a
candidate for election to his present
position, to which he was appointed by
Gov. Scofield. An election VIII re held
next spring at which Judge Pereles
successor will be chosen. His success
sor will be elected to serve the unex-
pired portion of the term of the late
Judge Mann, in June, 1902. Judge
Pereles VII retire June l next. When
asked for his reasons in refusing 10 be
candidate at the election, Judge
Pereles stated that it was purely for
personal reasons; that his health
would not permit the continuance Of
such close confinement. That up to
this time he has taken no vacation
while in office. That his own private
business affairs demand a good deal of
attention, and that his brother and the
other members of the firm of Nath.
Pereles & Sons had requested him to
again become associated with that
firm, which he left last May, and that
he felt that he owed some duty 10
them, and that he had decided, after
serving the balance of the term for
which he was appointed, to re-enter
the firm and again take up the practice
of law with his former associates.
