May Fill Vacancy,
Washington, d. c., Feb. 9.--Archie
Smith Of Storm Lake is now on his
way to Washington and is expected
to reach here today. The exact nature
of his mission is not disclosed. Judge
Lot Thomas admitted that Mr.. Smith
was on his way here, but said that he
could give out nothing as to his pur.
pose:
It is understood that Mr.. Smith has
been summoned here, and that his
coming has relation to an approach
ing vacancy in the collectorship for
the northern district. 1t is expected
that the President will reopen the Sam
mis- case and dismiss Sammis He has
never been satisfied with Sammis' de-
fence, but allowed the matter to be
pigeonholed for the time. There is
strong reason to believe that he pro-
poses now to dismiss Sammis and
that Mr.. Smith. who has been men
toned as his successor, may get the
place.
