PLACEMEN MUST co
President Removes Alaskan,
Judge and Marshal

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 16.-
President Roosevelt has removed from
Office Frank H. Richards, United
States marshal for the Nome district
in Alaska. and has requested the resig-
nation of Judge Melville C. Brown. OF
the Juneau district. This action is the
result of the investigation of the
Alaska judiciary made by Assistant
Attorney General Day.
The investigation involved nearly all
the members of the Alaska judiciary
in charges and countercharges. Mr..
Day made a trip TO Alaska to obtain
information. The nature of the charges
was not made public in detail. It is
known. however, that they involved sell
fish IL not corrupt practices before the
courts in mining claim cases.
The charges against Judge Brown,
who was appointed from Wyoming,
were that he had personal interest
in mining cases which were before his
court. and that he had appointed his
secretary as receiver of properties in
litigation.
Charges have been made from time
to time against nearly all the federal
officials of Alaska, Gov. Brady not be-
ing exempt. but it is said that the ac-
ton of the president today finally
closes the matter Of these charges,
oficials of the administration being
satisfied that Gov. Brady. Judge James
Wickersham. OF the Yukon district. and
other officials involved in them, have
acted in the best interests of the ter-
sitory Judge wickersham today was
reappointed.

the history of the two cities as he

old rivalry existing between the two
cities was now dead and buried, and

MIRAGE is WEIRD
South Dakotans Witness a
Strange Panorama
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
MILLER, s. D., Nov. 16.-Those who
were in this town Tuesday morning
and out at sunrise looking to the
northwest probably forty miles distant,
saw doings in. the sky weirdly strange
and unusual. A mirage was at work,
or rather the farmers at their morning
chores of pitching hay to their cattle,
the animals following the team and
load of feed about in the clouds, as
they were doing on the ground, seemed
to be working toward the heavens in
higher and dryer fields.
Roads stood straight up, the horses
pulling the heavy loads up as a fly
walks up a wall Artesian wells spout
ed forth, the lakes standing out to view
with cattle and horses standing in them
drinking. Young orchards were Wis
ible, while here and there cluster of
larger trees gave the sky .hereabout
quite habitable APPEARANCE wom-
an steppetis tothe front of the door of
a house and appeared to be blowing a
horn. This was evidently the call to

thing where they stood and ran into
the house. After awhile the woman ap-
peared again, this time -asGthough wav-

shaking the breakfast tabIeeloth. In a
few moments the. wind came up and
blew the odd picture down on the
ground from where. -natures whims

These mirages are quite common in
this section at this time of year, but
seem to be more frequent and real this
fall than ever before--probably be-
cause there, is more on, the ground to
be pulled ,up. into the sky by the light
morning air than ever before.

CHIFU, Nov. 16.-The Port Arthur
newspaper Novikrai prints details of a
daring exploit which resulted in the
sinking OF a four funneled Japaneses
torpedo boat destroyer,
Japanese torpedo boats and one de-
stroyer were removing mines, mostly
their own. from Tache bay on Nov 8.
Midshipman Dimitrieff conceived the
idea that he could torpedo the. Japa-
nese boats under cover of darkness, as
the latter were very busy and enjoying
a fancied security. 1t was the very
audacity of the plan that made-it suc-
cessful. Securing a steam launch from
the battleship Retvizan, one carrying a
torpedo tube and accompanied by half
dozen silent volunteers, Midshipman
Dimitrieff in the dense darkness slip-
ped out of the harbor and succeeded
in escaping the Japanese searchlights.
Circling around the japanese boats,
with the launch moving at top speed,
the midshipman came within striking
distance from the seaward side and
launched his projectile. 1t sped
through to the destroyer. There was
sudden explosion and the destroyer
sank Immediately. The launch then
sped. towards the harbor, but was not
pursued, the Japanese evidently having
not observed the launch and thinking
that the destroyer. had struck one OF
their own mines. Midshipman Dimi-
trieff is the hero of the day at Port
Arthur

HOME MARKET TALK
Its Anti-Reciprocity Secretary
Crlticises Douglas

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 16.-Criticism
of Governor elect William L. Douglas,
Eugene N. Foss, Republican advo-
cate of reciprocity with Canada, and
Henry M. Whitney, president of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce, for
their attitude on trade questions by
Col. Albert Clarke. secretary of the
Home Market club. in his report at the
annual meeting today, provoked de-
bate on the tariff. Col. Clarke said:
''The local agitation for reciprocity
in competing products, especially with
Canada, mainly of Democratic origin,
had made some inroads upon the Re-
publican party, but the national cleo
ton has buried it out of sight. Not
perceiving the true meaning of the
elections, it is reported that Eugene
N. Foss, a champion of reciprocity
with Canada and an advocate of free
raw material, though defeated for
congress. and. by ( larger plurality
than before in a district which, during
the campaign he called Republican,
has written the president that reci-
procity and tariff revision are the les
sons of the election and should be so
recognized in the presidents annual
message.
Now Mr.. Douglas, governor elect,
failing to see that he was elected by
Republicans, not because of his views
on the tariff. but because they wished
to take revenge on Gov. Bates, thinks
he has made a mandate to bring about
tariff reform. AS for his proposed tariff
commission in and by and for this
commonwealth, there is danger of max
ing Massachusetts ridiculous in the
eyes of the rest of the world. The sec
tionalism of it would be menace if
1t were not farce. but Mr.. Douglas is
not wholly or even largely responsible
for this. It was the chief character
istic of the case put up last spring by
Henry Nj. Whitney and others claiming
to represent the Boston Chamber of
Commerce before the committee on
federal relations of the Legislature of
Massachusetts. 1t was analogous with
the provincialism of South Carolina
before the Civil war"
Col. Clarke said he would oppose all
questions of tariff revision save that
of coal and iron ore.
