PRESIDENT REMOVES BAXTER.
Axe Falls on United States District
Attorney for Nebraska.
Washington, Dec. 26. President
Roosevelt has removed District Attor
ney Baxter of Nebraska and Senators
Millard and Burkett will bo notified
at once of tho vacancy.
District Attorney Baxter, on advice
of his friends, refused to resign. It is
' , ' i ";,uav-u "' ,v- '. ..
understood Mr- Baxter, in reply to the
I request' of the attorney general toi
his resignation, wrote that official that
he declines to resign, as It would be
an admission on his prtrt that the pros-
edition of Richards and Comstock was
a farce. This, he says, was not the
1 case, and having tho consciousness of
having done his full duty while dis
trict attorney, leaves the matter with
the president.
Just when the successor to Baxter
will be named is problematical. Sen-
ator Millard leaves lor xseurasua on
Tiiursuay to remain a wcew mm no
hopes to have action on tho Baxter
succession postponed until his return
to Washington.
Senator Burkett, ever since Bax
ter's requested resignation was made
I"bllr. has quietly insisted that the
now district attorney snouiu come
from the South Platte. It is now
