''Letter to Governor of
Washington.
gpeeUI Ptepatcb to The Jovrad.)
: Seattle, Wash.. Nov. 25. As a climax
to the charges reflecting on the honor
of Judge Mllo A. Root of the supreme
court of Washington, the news of his
resignation wu -received tn this city
last nigbt.
During the recent campaign charges
were brought -which plaoe Judge Root
and Judge Gordon In an unfavorable
light in connection with alleged "Influ
enced" decisions.
Victim of Misfortune.
Following Is the letter of resigna
tion and statement of Judge Root:
"To the Governor Sir: As 1 am on
the eve of a serious operation for blood
poisoning, which Is likely to confine me
to my bed for some time to come. I
beg to malts the following statement
to you:
" "For more than 20 years of a patient.
Slodding career I have endeavored to
o my duty by my fellow men and to
commit no act of injustice to any one,
least of all to taint in any way by my
words or deeds the honor of the bench,
which should, above all, be held In
violable by every lover of liberty; yet,
In spite of this, and in spite of my faith
In the" Christian religion,', it has
seemed to me that I have been spurned
by the fates in a manner as grim as
ever was set forth In a Greek tragedy.
I will not recapitulate the events which
have led to my present determination
to end, as far as I can, the seeming
act of the fates.
"In my private life no man has-ever
dared to cast any aspersions upon my
character or my) professional reputa
tion, but the instant I have taken office
the ..thousand tongues of rumor-and
scandal have started to besmear and be
smirch me with their: foul utterances.
"At different periods I have held the
Offices of probate judge, prosecuting at
torney and Judge of the supreme court.
In each of these positions I have been
attacked and have resisted attack suc
cessfully, t My record has been before
the public since territorial days, and it
has been finally approved by the peop'e
of this state by election to the high of
fice with which I am now honored. ,
' "But human nature has Its limits of
endurance. The final linking of my name
with a scandal attaching to a former
justice or, tne supreme court, who lor
years has been a warm, and as I be
lieved a devoted friend of mine, Is the
culmination or a series or calamities.
Investigation Invited. .
' "My relations with Judge Gordon will
bear the closest investigation and will
reflect no more upon me tnat the in
discretions of friendship. Yet I realised
that for a justice of the supreme court
there should exist not even an Indiscre
tion, especially as I realise that any
ref icetion en tiny, memoer casts a ctoua
UDon the entire court: and I do not wish
to be the means of casting any . such
cloud even in the slightesT degree. Nor
in i wilting to remain the innocent
ciuse- of any lack of that reeneet and
confidence which I know every one of
my associates upon tne bencn to he rich
ly entitled to. - t
Therefore, for tha reasons herewith
?t forth, I respectfully beg to resign
orthwlth as Judge-of the supreme court
on tne state or wasnington.
. Signed.) "MILO A ROOT."
' The Bar association committed lnvaa,
tlgatlng the Root charges will In all
probability conduct its investigation in

association and handle the whole matter
as a "family affair." affecting onlv the
legal fraternity. and of no interest to

Mr. Powell made it evident that he
did not care to go Into the subject of
this morning's meeting further than
this.
If the preliminary meeting Is Indica
tive of the course to be pursued during
the remainder of the investigation, It
!s likely that the matter will be a
purely "bar" affair, and all that the

without any of the facts that led up

that, this is paramount, overlooking the
fact that the people of the state of
