port Will Settle
Matter.
Washington, Jan, 7—The reign
n .Judge Wit.kersham as judge of
i’.n: 'Hurd judicial division of
i a - ku will soon be over. It is
u n«. po.»b ivei\ known that Hoyt’s
report on the judge 18 directly op
posite to that made by Day two
v. ;rs ago and is against the con
tinuance in office of Wickershnm.
Hoyt, found nothing reflecting on
V\ iekersham’s integrity or honor,
hnt in* nays that conditions are
-Mi l* in the district as to call for a
ciean slate by the appointment of
a new judge. The president and
the attorney general have had
s- vor.a! conferences lately regard
ing the matter and Roosevelt is at
n loss to know what to do in the
matter, hut. he will make a de
cision in a few days.
It hu.^ boon reported to the presi
dent that District Attorn *v Hoyt
i' :t candidate tor a judgeship in
Alaska, but there is little chance
id ids getting an appointment.

criticisms oi Roosevelt’s appoint
ment of a subordinate judiciary
official to investigate charges
against a United States judge.
Within the past week petitions
have been wired to the president
mking that Wiokcrsham he trans
ferred to either Juneau or Nome,
but the president will not consider
,-uch a transfer. This week should
witness the end of the trouble over
the judgeship in the Third district,
'and the matter will probably be
settled by the appointment of an
entirely new man to the office.
