washington. June president Roosevelt to-
day decided to send James s. Young. al present
United States District Attorney at Pittsburg, TO
Alaska 20 make a searching and complete in

While in Alaska engaged upon this work the
Pittsburg viii have the title Of Special AS
sistant Attorney General
The charges and counter charges made against
the government officials IN Alaska have been
source OF worry to the Department Of Justice
for many years. It is not an exaggeration 20
say that no man has ever served as judge, dis
trict attorney or marshal Of any court in the
Territory who has not been charged with some
thing or other before the department Lately
the shafts have been aimed at Judge Melvills
G. Brown, OF the First District; Judge James
VVickershana. OF the Third, and Governor Brady.
Judges Brown and Wickersham will retire on
June g. unless they are reappointed and it is
possible that many OF the unkind things said
about them were inspired by the men who
would like 70 see them retire TO private life and
have the places hlled by their own followers.
Attorneys representing many OF the big mining
and transportation companies assert that these
Judges have used their Offices for private gain,
mainly through tying up" the concerns with
unnecessary receiverships. Governor Brady is
not charged with any moral turpitude, but is
opposed by a large number OF persons in the
Territory, who say that he IS too conservative,
is not progressive. and "cares more for the
birds and fishes than he does for improvements
that will benefit the people"
Judge Alfred s. Moore, the third judge in
Alaska IS not under suspicion. but his court
will come under Mr.. Youngs scrutiny with the
other two Charges have been preferred against
Judge Moore-s clerk, a man named BOrchenius-
Judge Wickersham holds court at Eagle and
halls from tae state Of Washington; Judge
Moore is at None, and was appointed from
Montana, a-lc Judge Brown is at Juneau, and is
q Pennsylvanian. Senators and members Of
Congress from the three States mentioned, there
fore, take an abiding interest IN the cases, and
win watch for Attorney Young's report with
considerable eagerness.
