Filkins, was appointed Deputy US Marshal by Edwin Denby. His term ends next March, along with Marshal Samuel G. Victor’s, as per the Revised Statutes. He scored high on his recent stenographer and typewriter examination. Against her husband’s desires, Filkins asks Roosevelt to help find Clinton a Civil Service appointment.
