CHARGES ARE FILED
Fight Being Made on Middle
tons Nomination. :
RIGID INQUIRY PROPOSED
Belief Expressed That Nominee for
Police Court Judge Will
Withdraw His Name.

Arthur +. II. Middleton, Attorney Cen
judge of the District of Columbia as the
successor to Judge Ivory G. kimball, is up
against variety of charges hurled at
him through the White House and De-
partment Of Justice since the announce
ment in The Star few days ago that his
name would be sent to the Senate yes
terday. The struggle is going to be a
fierce one, judging from the facts known
today. Mr. Middleton's friends are rally
ing to his support, while those opposed to
him are using big and little sticks with
all the force at their command. 1t is the
same old story of advance announce
ments Of political and other appointments
from the White House. Few men have
yet survived these preliminary announce
ments.
Charges to Be Investigated.
1t is learned today from official sources
that the nomination is to be withheld
until Attorney General Wickersham has
opportunity to have the charges investi-
gated Mr.. Wickersham himself Is great
ly surprised. He had heard 80 many
good things of Mr.. Middleton that he did
not think it possible that so many adverse
things could be stirred up. What he
wants to know is whether there Is truth
in any Of the charges, and he will find out
as early as possible. There will ensue
however, considerable delay before the
nomination Of police judge goes to the
Senate, whether it is that of Mr.. Middle.
ton or some one else.
Mr.. Wicke1sham will not be able to in
vestigate the charges personally and will
detail one of his assistants to do so. He
is up to his neck with important work
connected with the trust and other com
binations and also IN passing upon nu
merous judicial and other appointment.
coming under his department.
Believed Middleton Will Withdraw.
Mr. Wickersham declines to make public
any of the charges against Mr.. Middleton
but they are known to embrace a small
book of things detrimental. What the
ultimate effect will be no one in authority
can forecast. The prevalent unofficial
opinion is that under the circumstances
Mr.. Middleton will withdraw his name
and the Attorney General will select some
other man.
