Judges Involved.

The Judge whose personal and Of
fetal names are being bcsmirchcd are
Melville c. Brown of the first district
and James Wickcrsham Of the third
division. The charges against the two
judges are that they have been too free
in the appointment Of receivers for
mining concerns and that the receivers
have invariably been their personal
friends. Indirectly, therefore, the IN
situation is that the judges have profit
ed by their positions. Charges Of a
similar nature were preferred several
years ago against Judge Noyes at Cape
