CLEAN BILL
IS GWEN
TO TWO
JIJR|.STS
Mcmahon Of Municipal Bench,
and Miss Sellers Expected
to Get Confirmation

The nomination Of Judge Kath-
ryn Sellers, Juvenile Court, and
Judge John P. Mcmahon, Police
Court, to succeed themselves for
another six-year term were re-
ported today favorably to the full
Senate judiciary Committee by
Senator Means of Colorado.
The action today follows two Of
the bitterest fights ever made
against local judges and in which
eleventh hour pressure was brought
by those antagonistic to the ap-
pointments to gain their ends.
Facts Sifted Down.
AS chairman of the subcommit-
tee designated TO investigate the
appointments, Senator Means gave
both friends and foes OF the
judges unlimited time to tell their
stories.
While many of the charges seem
ed serious and indicated the ap-
pointment would necessarily be
turned down by the investigating
committee, when the facts were
aifted down under cold calculation,
they were found to be practically
devoid of merit.
Perhaps the most vigorous cam.
paign was made against Judge Nc
Mahon by reform leaders, who had
wired their constituents through
out the country to advise their
Congressman and Senators that
Judge Mcmahon was not strictly
enforcing the prohibition law.
A surprise in the testimony
against Mcmahon came when Lieu
tenant o. r. Davis and Sergeant
James McQuade told the Senator's
Judge Mcmahon looked upon the
police officers as the criminals and
the law violators as prosecuted per-
sons. This testimony, however, was
refuted by practically every mem
ber of the headquarters force and
tried and true police officers who
told the Senators Davis and Nc
Quade spoke only for themselves
"and If they were around long
enough would soon even find fault
with you Senator'S.
Mothers Opposed Judge Sellers.
Determined opposition was also
mothers organizations and mothers
themselves, who charged she was
arbitrary and took the word Of
social workers in preference to
that of parents whose children's
future was in the hands Of the
court.
Almost without exception 1t was
found the complaint lodged against
Judge Sellers on this score could be
attributed to the faulty Juvenile
court law and Chairman Means an
nounced he would take steps to
have 1t revised.
Both Judge Mcmahon and Judge
Sellers personally appeared before
the investigators and their presence
hoped their cases. Judge Sellers
was compelled to make a second
visit as charge was made against
her last week that she had overpaid
the probation officer in her court,
but the correspondence in the mat
ter which she gave the subcom-
mittee disproved the charge.
