]O|NS TAFT FORCES SURE HE SAW SMITH
Boy Says Suspect Was in
MickIe Store Night of Murder.

Standing in front of the cell occupied
by James Smith in the local Jail, Will
bur Patterson, eighteen years Old of
Baltimore said to Detective Frank Baur
, today:
That is the man I saw in Mickle' s
cigar store with brown package in
his hand the evening Mickle was
killed
With this positive identified ton back
ing up the same sort of testimony from
Charles Davis, the coachman, who says
he also saw Smith in the little cigar
store, the police believe they have the
evidence which Assistant. United States
Attorney Given asked them to get be-
fore charging James Smith with MUIR

Maj. Sylvester and Capt Boardman at
noon today. after seeing Smith at the
Jail, and was then taken to the office
of the United States attorney. At late
hour this afternoon Patterson was wait
ing outside Mr.. Givens' Office to be inter-
rogated.
Patterson dropped from the clouds. so
to speak, just as the police were about
to throw up their hands in despair.
He came over from Baltimore of his
own volition, and asked Deputy United
States Marshal Reed at the Police Court
for pass to the Jail to get look at
that fellow Smith," Reed got busy and.
telephoned to Capt. Boardman. and in
side of half an hour the faint hearts
of the police department began to
cheer up and suggestion that Smith
might yet be charged with the Mickle
murder was taking form.
Inspector Boardman this afternoon took
steps to have verified statements made
by Patterson relative to the recent death
of both his parents in Baltimore and
other matters

Sherman P. Allen, well known Wash
ington newspaper man, for several years
associated with the Washington bureau
| of the New York Herald, was today
sworn in as assistant secretary to Presi-
dent Taft. Rudolph Forster, who has
he'd that position since the reorganiza-
ton of the White House force, was pro-
| NOTED to chief executive clerk at a salary
of 5000 year. Mr.. Allen will receive
$1,000 a year
For nearly year the position of chief
executive clerk has remained open, the
President having in mind several per
sons who wished to fill it. The long and
faithful service of Rudolph Forster was
the strongest appeal to the President and
Secretary Hilies, and 1t was decided to
promote Mr.. Forster and fill the vacancy
by naming Mr.. Allen.
Rudolph Forster has gone steadily up
ward at the White House. He started
there as stenographer and clerk fifteen
years ago. His first promotion was to
the position of chief clerk. President

most important trips of the chief execu-
tive. Mr.. Aliens good presence and tact
are expected to make him a most useful
assistant to Secretary Hiles.
No other changes in the personnel of
the White House are contemplated, but
the announcements made today are
believed in some quarters to indicate that
Secretary Hiles will become chairman of
the republican national committee next
