THINKS HE SAW SMITH.
Mr.. Willard Tells Of Watching Man
on Street Car.

Other links were forged In the chain Of
evidence by which the authorities are try
ing to trace the movement OF Smith the
night on which Mickle, the It'll street to-
bacconist, was slain. Percy H. Willard
of 1915 18th street northwest was at the
ninth precinct station this afternoon. and
after looking long at the prisoner he de-
clared Smith closely fitted the description
Of q man who he saw ride q short dis
lance on a 7th street car within q Few
minutes after the murder was done.
Under command of the police Smith
that the prisoner, in his facial appear
ance. strongly resembled the man in
question. The man. wore hat Identical
in shape to Smiths, and his trousers were
the same, but Mr.. Willard insisted that
the man he saw wore brown coat, much
faded, with a stripe in the fabric. 1t de-
veloped that the dark-cOlored coat Smith
has worn since his arrest was purchased
since Thursday in a shop In D street.
Another angle in the task Of identify
ing Smith was developed from state
ment made by Frank Walters OF 423 Mas
sachusetts avenue northwest. Mr.. Wal
ters had been quoted as saying he met
an excited stranger in q barroom at 18th
and II streets northeast late last Thurs
day night, but Mr.. Walters today de-
clared he met two men irf the barroom.
One Of them was Cleveland Walker. he
said, and the other, who stood on the op-
Walters did not know. He caught only
imperfect g,impses of this mans face.
and today he could not identify Smith as
the man. He declared, however. that
Cleveland Walker could tell who the man
was.

SEEK WOMAN'S ASSAILANT.
Police Begin Search for Negro at
Coatesville.

COATESvILLE, Pa. November 22.-A
systematic search was begun by the police
today to apprehend the negro who yester-
day afternoon attacked Mrs. James Camp
bell on a lonely road north Of this place
and who is believed to have been the
same man who attempted to attack Mrs.
Fred Russell several hours later on a
road west Of Coatesville. The police have
a good description OF Mrs. Campbell as
sailant and believe they will soon have
HIM under arrest
While the numerous lawless acts of ne
groes in this section recently have
aroused indignation among the people OF
Coatesville and vicinity, there Is no APP
parent danger Of a repetition of the wild
scenes that resulted in the lynching of
Zach Walker. the negro who killed po-
nceman last August.
In addition to the attacks on women
there have been several attempts at high
way robbery. In one instance band OF
negroes tried to hold up freight train
crew. and in another case q negro held up
a farmer and cut him with q knife when
the latter fought his assailant.

SEARCH FOR THE MONEY.
Boy Says He Saw Smith Marking
Trees With Hatchet.

Following a clue by which they hoped
to uncover the money which they now
believe Smith stole from the pockets
of William Mickle, the It'll street to-
bacconist. after the murder Of Thurs
day night, and the roll Of bills taken
from the groceryman, Bennett, after the
murderous assault Of Monday morning.
Capt. DAILY and a squad Of ninth pre-
cinct police this morning made an auto
mobile trip to the home of Cleveland

this morning he led the police to the
spot Dishman said when the man saw
him he secreted the hatchet under his
searched every inch of ground for
traces of freshly turned earth. looked
beneath stones, peered into hollow trees,
and in general made a painstaking ex-
animation of every likely hiding place
in which the packet or packets Of money
might have been concealed, but their
efforts were fruitleSs.
Capt. Daley. Bicycle Policeman Barte-
man and Policeman Hardin. who made
the trip. chose the opportunity to again
question Lawrence Britt, Smiths room
mate at the Walker farm. Britt declared
Smith returned home SO late Thursday
night that no one saw him. and Smith was
up and away Friday morning before any
one else arose.
Young Dishman also furnished what is
regarded as a valuable bit of evidence In
support Of the charge which Smith faces
of murderously assaulting and robbdng
Bennett-when he related an incident Of
Monday morning, In which he said ne
saw a man who he says was Smith lean
ing over a spring near Chesapeake juno
ton and apparently washing his hands.

Given a. Hours to Pay Loan.
Mr.. Merritt went on to say that yer,
soon after the interview with Gates
In which he and his brother refused to
steal for John D. Rockefeller they were
Informed that they must pay their
loans within twenty-four hours.
:'There I was stranded in New York.
I have never seen it since. I didn't
even have enough money to get home
with. The Rev. DR.. Gates seemed to
be amazed that wouldn't do what
Rockefeller wanted and one time he
told me I would have to walk home
on the railroad ties"
The witness grew very much excited as
he talked of these things. and. swinging
around in his chair until he faced George
Wildwood Murray, Mr.. Rockefeller s
counsel, he exclaimed:
II couldn't see how 1t was that I had
gone to New York with millions and in
those few months had lost them all and
stood there contemplating a wreck. had
been taking the advice Of George Well
wood Murray
Mr.. Murray jumped from his seat and
insisted on interrupting Merritt. He de-
manded the witness be asked II he made
the claim that he Murray had ever been
Merritts personal counsel.
Tll answer that" cried Merritt.
weren't you the counsel for the Consoli-
dated mines and didn't you consult me
throughout those proceedings?"
Chairman Stanley interrupted at this
point with the statement that he did not
propose to have the witness insulted.
But he asked Merritt whether Murray
ever had acted as his personal counsel.
The witness replied in the negative.

WORKS ON MESSAGE
President Almost Receivers
From Effects of Cold,
PUTS IN DAY Debating
Andrew Carnegie Among the Few
Callers Admitted-White House
Dinners Scheduled.

President Taft 10 so nearly recovered
from the effects Of his cold that he went
to the executive Offices today and re-
NAMED there until luncheon, hustlins
upon his annual message to Con-
gress Acting under orders Of his physi-
clan. however. the President declined to
see visitors. the physician fearing that
the tax Of this and the hard work ahead
of the President for the next few weeks
might be inadvisable. So Mr.. Taft die
tated and dictated, with little Interrupt
ton. Some congressional visitors who
called were asked to return In the next
few days.
Senator Sutherland of Utah was one of
those who called to see the President. He
desired to take up with him the questions
OF workmen's compensation. The COM
mission Of which Senator Sutherland Is
chairman will make report to Congress
on this subject by January 1, and a num-
Der of bills will follow.
President as Host.
President Taft is to give two big din.
ners early in December that are not down
on the list Of the coming social season a,
the White House. The first Of these Is to
the western governors who are travelling
through the country on the western
governors special" as 1t Is called. There
are ten OF the governors, accompanied by
from one to three Influential men Of each
state. The dinner to them Will be given
the night of December Z. The other din
ner is to the republican national commit
tee. which meets here December II. II
will be given at the White House the
night of December II. There are over
fifty national committeeman, counting
<h~
OF Officers OF the committee.
Secretary Hilles was back at work
today, having overcome the cold that has
kept him indoors for some time.
Carnegie Discusses Arbitration.
Andrew Carnegie. who is working hard
to bring public sentiment to bear upon
the Senate and thereby secure ratification
of the arbitration treaties negotiated by
the President, conferred with the Presf.
dent today. Arbitration will be one O,
the principal topics upon which the
President will address Congress this
winter. He is quite likely to make his
recommendations In a special message
which Will secure the attention of tbs
country more closely than II forming a
part OF a general message.
Il am satisfied" said Mr.. Carnegie
that the Senate viii ratify the peac,
treaties made by President Taft. Senti
ment In this country is overwhelmed,
In favor Of these treaties. and I sin
cerely hope nothing will arise in tn
Senate that will prevent their ratifica
ton.
In Great Britain all the parties an,
all the people are in favor of thes
treaties. and it would be unfortunat.
indeed, II anything occurred to defea
them here"
Mr.. Carnegie also said he had no
come to Washington on anything con
corning the steel trust. His visit. h,
explained. was merely a personal ant
private one.
He said il he were summoned to an
pear before the Stanley committee Of tn.
House he would truthfully answer eli
questions put to him.
