Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The ap.
pointmcnt of the Hon. F. 8. Dietrich
Of Pocatello to succeed Judge James II.
Beatty as Federal Judge in Idaho is
believed here not to be entirely salts
factory to either of the Idaho Senators.
Rumors are rife as TO the power
which was influential in securing the
place for Dietrich, and there are those
who assert that in this case the Nor
mon power has asserted itself with
great strength,
1t is pretty we'll substantiated that
Senator Hepburn wanted the place for
James +. Ailshie, present Chief Justice
of the Idaho Supreme Court, and that
the senior Senator stuck for his choice
up to the very last minute.
Senator Borah wanted Edgar Wilson
! Of Boise. Ordinarily Hepburn s in.
dorsement, since it represented the
views of the senior Senator, wonld have
carried tho day for Ailshie, but was.
with one notable exception, given

reached Washington from Idaho. But

bears the imprint Of the Mormon

It was made. according to credible
| informant, by H. s. Woo1ey, the son-in-
law of President Budge and the
brother-in law of Judge Bulge.
In this affidavit Wooley is said to
have presented to the Presiden and the
Attorney General allegations against
Aisbie of a startling character, The
| Mormons are understood here to be
| lieve that Ailshie is not enthusiast
cally a friend of theirs, and conse-
quently their weight was not thrown
70 him for the judgeship appoint
ment. On the other hand, if Dietrich
was not the first choice OF either Sen
ator there is circumstantial evidence
that he is the first choice of the Nor
mons.
Statement Of Hepburn.
That Dietrich was as much the choice
of Senator Hepburn for the Idaho
/ iudgeship as any other prominent can
didate was the statement made by the
Senator today. He said that when the
appointment was under consideration he
filed with President Roosevelt list of
eight men, giving their qualifications
, and indorsing them for the place. In
cluded in this list were the names, ac
cordine TO the Senator. not only of
Aishie but also Of Dietrich and Wilson
