Fight For Removal of
 Alaska Officials.
NATIONAL CAPITAL
RumOrs Of Many Kinds Finding Their Way Into the
 Newspapers,

Seattle, Jan. f-AdviceS, both publi,' indicate that the fight which has been waged somewhat intcrmittently for the past few week, for the rem val of U. S Marshal Richards of Nome and the re- moral of Juoge Wlckel shaun Of the Third judicial division as well, is about to be renewed
 It is stated that formal charges will be filed against Judge Wckersham, and his removal will be asked for, with in a week or ten days.
 The fight against Richards is being led by~a couple of former Nome men, but il is n.t likely that they will.sc- complish their ends. Richards stands well with lie department. This state ment has been made repeatedly hy those of his friends who are actively in teresting themselves in his behalf.
 Word also comes from Washington that d fight is being waged upon Col Melvin Grigsby, district attorney. fo, the Second district, who it is alleged favored Richards in the contempt pro ceedingS instituted against him b. Judge Wickcrsham. Grigsby, how ever, it iS said, laughs al the repor9 and it is extremely probable that the attempt to compass his removal w:ll fall to the ground.
 \ special dispatch from the post-I,.- relle9eucer' ,co"roor0nGeit in Wash ington states that the report of Special Examiners Mountjoy and Taylor, "con- taius 2 scathing indictment of the offic ial and unofficial acts of Marshal Rich ards and grave criticism of District At torney Grigsby' The report ha, net yet been filed, and the stat. mrnts made as to it's contents are purely imaginary

I CORE:

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has TO come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
ZONES called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
