STONEMAN MAY
BE JUDGE

ie Phoenix Gazette claims to be
In possession OF information from
Washington relating to the charges
against Judge Eugene A. Tucker, as
sociate justice of the supreme ceprt
Of Arizona and district Judge of the
fifth judicial district.
The Gazette says The information
Is semi-official and indicates that the
charges against Judge Tucker have
been fully investigated by the presi-
dent and that he deems them suffi-
ciently strong to remove Judge Tuck
er from the bench.
Two candidates are mentioned as
possible successors to Judge Tucker.
These are George J. Stoneman, a
prominent young attorney of Globe
and Frederick S. Nave, United States
district attorney. The latter, 1t has
all along been understood, was the
probable successor of Judge Tucker
In the event the charges against him
were sustained, but the Gazette can
state on strong authority, Of semi
official nature, that Mr. Nave's
chances are very slim compared with
those of Mr.. StOneman.
The New Judge.
The latter has the endorsement Of
very tfluential men, very close to the
presi mt, and that he will be the
new fth Judge there is little doubt.
Mr.. 5toneman is thirty seven years
OF age, Is in the prime of life, and the
full vigor of his manhood. He Is a
graduate of Stanford university and
is the son Of a former governor Of the
state of California. He has lived in
the territory eight years and is a
popular young man. He was admit
ted to the practice OF law IN 1885.
Note--Mr. Stoneman's wife was
Miss Julia Hamm, one of Albuquer-
que's most beautiful and highly ac'
complished young ladies and well
known In Las Vegas.
