.ho fact that he ought to resign
s.on, his high position on the bench.
I ~ hoe not seen fit to take this ad-
nc and continues to hold right on,
' Viii a few of his friends are said to
ho seriously contemplating trying to
have his bust placed in the Hall OF
Fame. A..
that Chief Justice George Washington
partch should resign his judicial Of
sca We make this statement be-
nau,o II is understood there are going
~ he some proceedings in connection
with the Sheba mine that will not re-
donnd TO the credit of either Judge
partch or his son-in-law Child, and
we want the Supreme court protected
from the faint that will be cast upon
n Tn common with great many citi-
zens this paper prefers to have it said
that Bartch was formerly a member
of the Supreme court" than to have it
bruited about that "he is member of
the Supreme court; is it's chief JUS
tice"
Information given this paper is to
the effect that suit is in course of
preparation; that papers will soon be
filed and that charges against Bartch
and Child will be of a serious nature.
That it will be alleged that Child, with
the full knowledge of Bartch, obtained
permission to handle the treasury
stock of the company; that he sold
blocks of it at prices ranging from rs
cents per share and upward to $1.50
per share, but only turned in 80 cents
per share to the treasury. While it is
true that commissions are paid
brokers for disposing of stock, it is
also true that no concern ever per-
mitted, knowingly, any one to make
such commissions out of it's stock as
this allegation charges. And it will
be alleged that the handling of this
stock was not done on a contract
basis, by which Child was to retain all
he received above certain price for
the shares, but that the directors pre-
sumed he was working in the interest
of the corporation and not of Child
and Bartch.
In the matter of the De Soto mine,
the allegations will be to the effect
that Bartch represented, repeatedly,
while east that it was necessary for
the Sheba to own that property; that
the Sheba dump was located on De
Soto ground, and it will be stoutly
maintained that his representations
were such that people bought stock
with the express understanding that
part of the receipts for stock dis
posed of was to be used in purchasing
this ground. But Bartch bought the
De Soto ground for himself, thus de-
priving the corporation of the privi-
lege, unless it purchased from him at
an advanced price.
1t will be alleged that the assess
ments levied have been used in part
in purchasing worthless claims To-
Gated around the Sheba by Child and
Bartch, the latter as silent partner,
tor the express purpose of disposing
OF the same to the Sheba company
and that Bartch and Child were bene-
nciaries of this scheme, they CONTROL
ing majority of the stock of the
Sheba caused the Sheba company to
purchase the worthless claims located
Dy Childs and caused to be issued in
payment of those claims note of the
Sheba company to Child. Bartch,
Child, ct al, then caused assessments
TO be levied on the Sheba stock, and
credited the assessments on their
STOCK on the notes held by Child, while
