Well Founded Report
He Will Join Taft
Organization.

A most careful and painstaking OBJ
servation made at the Postoffiee De-
partment today failed to disclose signs
Of anyone packing trunks. but it can
be stated with the best assurance that
Postmaster General Meyer viii have a
s, 0on vacancy in his official family in
the near future.
The repeated reports that Frank H
Hitchcock, First Assistant Postmaster
General. would soon resign. and the
later statement that he would resign
on February 1. although not positively
confirmed, are thought TO be very near
the mark.
Mr.. Hitchcock viii leavs the Gov
eminent service to become allied with
the political fortunes Of Secretary Taft
He will not direct the campaign for the
Secretary's nomination for the Presi-
dency, as there is no reason 20 believe
that Arthur 1. Voreys Is 10 be disturb
ed in this position, but rather is Mr..
Hitchcock to be annexed to the oFgani-
eaton.
There is also good reason for stating
that the impression that has been gem
eral for some time that Secretary Taft
and his friends were making heroic
efforts to corral Mr.. Hitchcock in their
political pasture, was incorrect, because
the OvertuTes for the alliance nave come
from the opposite direction.
There can be no question as 10 the
Presidents faith in Mr.. Hitchcock, and
his regard for his political strength
and sagaCity. but il is equally true that
the new arrangement has never had
the enthusiastic Endorsement Of Secre-
tary Taft.
The date Of Mr.. Hitchcock's retire
ment from the service, IL can be stated,
VIII depend upon the progress made at
the Capitol win the Appropriations
Committees and the Committees on
Postofhces and PostTOads, before which
Mr.. Hitchcock is now appearing IL the
interest OF the department.
4 is hardly believed, however. that
Mr.. Hitchcock will have things IN such
shape that he will be able 70 step down
and out by the end OF this week. This
d8Le. while probably premature, IS not
very far IN advance Of the date OF tie
resignation.

Postum, claiming that it had done so

me that the sisters at the hospital where

the Sixth precinct.
Circulars offering q reward of 500 for
the apprehension of the murderer or
murdereFs Will be sent out by the Police
Department today.
Colored Woman Arrested.
That a cOlored woman whom the police
have had under surveillance knows
more about the mystery than she has
been willing to tell is the belief of de-
tectives who have been working on the
case. This woman has been taken to
the Sixth precinct station and ques-
toned, but she refuses to change her
story.
The police do not suspect that she
had anything to do with the actual
crime, but they do believe that she
could give them some valuable informa-
ton. She heard the scrimmage in front
OF z T street just before the body was
found, but has told the police that she
heard no voices. The police think she
may know the names of certain negroes
who were in the neighborhOod Friday
night and who We're on the street at
about the time the murder occurred.
The Inquest yesterday having estab-
hshed the fact that robbery was not
the motive for the crime. the detectives
have begun working along new lines.
As yet their Investigations have shed no
additional light OF the mystery. They
are all working on clues that they hope
VIII establish the ownership Of the
oyster knife found near the body and
this IS really the only definite clue left.
New Clue Found.
4 clue that the police think may have
some bearing on the murder was OBJ
tanned by one of the detectives this
morning. About 1880 o'clock Saturday
morning a bare-headed negro got OF a
g street car al Fifteenth street and
hurriedly boarded northbound -Four
teenth street car. The man appeared
very nervous and excited. He was poor
~ dressed. and wore an old, Iight-coI-
OUed Overcoat.
A short distance from the place where
Reds body WAS discovered the police
found an old felt hat which was sup
posed to have belonged to the murderer.
This led the police to believe that the
man ran away without stopping TO pick
up his hat. when probably fell or dur
ing the ScUnle.
When Octavia Bell, coIored, Of u F
street northwest. in front Of whose
home the body was found, looked out OF
the window she saw man walking In
the direction Of New Jersey avenue. II
the murderer boarded either a. Brook
land or a Thirteenth and D street car
ne would have reached Fifteenth street
shortly before ! o'clock.
1t IS not known, however, that the
man came in this direction after com
hitting the crime IN fact, the police
have been unable TO trace the move
ments Of the man whom the cOlored
woman says she saw walking UP T
! street. The Bell woman was unable 70
say whether the man was white or
