Want Action Of Some Kind.
People Of New Mexico are urgently press
ing for a settlement of the charges against
Judge Daniel Mcmillan, now pending be-
fore the Department Of Justice and the
President. These charges have been pend
ing a long time, in fact, more than year.
it is alleged, and there is surprise that
there has been no settlement by the OFF,
cials of the department.. For one reason
fe fa1 1noic
the charges has been postponed. The de-
partment has undertaken several investi-
cations through special agents. The New
Mexico people would like to have the
charges passed upon before the President
leaves for his western tour, believing that
if he gets away from here without DOING
something the case will be hung up for two
or three months longer. Judge Mcmillan
was appointed to judgeship several years
ago from Buffalo, N. Y, and Senator De-
pew and Representative Alexander have
been his friends from the time of his ap
pointment. Judge Mcmillan has presented
his defense personally to the department, it
is stated, and all the facts are at the dis
position of Attorney General Knox. who
has just returned from a trip to the south.
The charges against Judge Mcmillan in
volve his moral character. Ex-Judge A. A.
Freeman of Carlsbad, N. M, is here push
ing the charges. The New Mexico republic
cans have united upon him for the place,
but he declares that he doesn't want it, and
is merely seeking to have Judge Mcmillan
punished for his offenSes.

economies at Johns Hopkins University,
and eX-treaSurer Of Porto Rico, Is being
considered by the President as a commits
sioner to represent this country in any
conferences that may be held among the
gold standard and silver-using countries
looking to fixing the relationship between
the moneys of the gold and silver coun-
tries. DR.. Hollander was secretary of the
h toll 10 mi
four or five years ago to study the bi-
metallic question. Senator McComas talked
to the President about DR.. Hollander a
few days ago.
