Federal judges refused today to heed
last-minute pleas to prevent or post
pone the sale next Monday at Butte,
Mont. Of the Chicago. Milwaukee
and ST. Paul Railway. but two other
Federal judges could not be found
and the lawyers interested In hating
the auction said they would be seen
Monday.
Judge James H. Wilkerson, In
whose court the road was placed in
receivership March IS. 1925. and who
previously had denied the right to
intervene to the Jameson committee
of minority bondholders. refused to
halt the sale, and refused to change
his decision as to intervention.
The Jameson group attorneys hur-
ried to Judge Samuel Alschuler. and
then to Judge A. B. Anderson, but
their pleas again fell upon deaf ears.
Judges George T. Page and Evan
Evans could not be found.
The Jameson group possesses
some S1S,O00,000 worth of the roads

after receivership began.
