"Appointments Held Up
Senate Committee Withhold Recommendation on Names
of Brady, Wickersham and Hoyt.
Washington, Dec. 15 - On application of Bois
Penrose, a senator from Pennsylvania, the senate
committee has consented to hold up its recommendation
of the president's appointment of Brady for governor
of Alaska, Wickersham for judge of Third division,
and Hoyt for district attorney of Second division.
Senator Porter J. McCumber, of North Dakota,
in addressing the committee, stated that Brady was
unpopular in Alaska, that Wickersham had been
unjust in his handling of the big Bonanza case, and
that Hoyt is opposed by the entire California delegation
on the ground that he is not a republican.
The matter of these appointments will remain
in the hands of the committee until the charges are
investigated.
Would Raise Salaries
In his message to congress the president
recommends that the salaries of the district judges of
Alaska be raised; that a new civil and criminal code
be enacted, and that bills be introduced and passed in
conformity with the recommendations in the attorney
general's report."
