THE MORNING ASTOIUAN, ASTOHIA, OHliGON. TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1007 WHO'S MISS SMITH?! Question Puzzlfs Police of Paris as Well as London. WRITER OF LOVING LliTTERS She Is Accused of Being Accomplict to Notorious Matrimonial Shark Who Has Fleeced no Less Than Nine Husbands. LONDON. Dee. SI. "Who Is Miss Smith?" Is a Parisian mystery with a London settins indeed, a continen tal environment which h; drawn the Interest of half a doien of the great capitals to its dramatic unfoldins. So far, the developments have led only toward more impenetrable depths of plot and action, and the authorities are more and more "in the air" at each succeeding turn. But as detective pa tience and sagacity are only whetted by the fact that the task takes on a more ditflcu't aspect Trom day to day. in the end the amazing person now known ns plain Miss Smith will doubt less find hersjf unmasked. It is the story of a matrimonial ag ency of a Mme. Guerin and her train of heiresses and dupes. One of the latter was Dr. Paul Hebert, a Lon don physician becoming engaged through the good offices of Mme. Ouer in, to the mysterious Miss Smith. Dr. Herbert was lured to a villa in '.he vi ' clnlty of Paris and treacherously hot by M. Cesbron, who was Mine. Guer In's husband. Dr. Herbert was rot dead, as the assassin thought, and he made his way back to Paris and the police. M. Cesbron disappeared, but Mme. Guerin was anested. She re lated that both Hebert and Cesbron were in love with Miss Smith, and that the shooting at the villa was due to Jealousy. Dr. Herbert received many letters from Miss Smith, all of them couched in the most affectionate language. M. Sudro, who was takan to London and introduced to Miss Smith, was told she was the unack nowleged daughter of a duke with a half a million pounds in the Hank of England. He too. has letters from her breathing passionate devotion. Other young fools who advertised to marry heiresses have turned over similar love epistles to the polite. These letters now turn out to be the handwriting of Mme. Guerin, slightly disguis'd. None of these matchmakings with Mis Smith h a principal matrimonial !. herself has had n i r. - hushan Is with whm a form - f m':rria:.'v . '! h r.i -.-bom .... OUK Of a v.: .! : 1 ' .1 Mri'.'.

Sir Wllllnm Trelvar. the :.-.,- i,,i mayor, who had already inr-'rntbter himself wilh youthful Lnndo., .hen, as "the children's alderman," he rld wonders In making the dingy el'y more tmhltaldo for them In many little ways, has now quickly n the koo.1 opin ion of the sroun-ups by declaring for tcn-ml utos sivts-hes at banquets and move public functions. 1; was at the Savage Club dinner, with, Or. Nanseu as liMsimastcr, that S'r William de clared his secession from the thraldom of endless an l prosaic orotoiy In a brief and bivcxy speech, the lord may or gave a hint of his policy In She mat ter of official addresses. ' I shall jttxe you a sentence" he said, "which I p.o poso to inscribe In letters of gold over the entrance to the Guildhall and in the Egyptian II. ill at the Mansion House. It is this; "Nobody likes long speeches except those who make them." That tablet may be taken down some day no doubt, but not while I am there. Already I have begun to hate the man who proposes the inevitable toast to the corporation of London, and I mil gla l that the Savage Club has existed for TOO years and yet has no rights, privileges, and traditions to talk alxuit. Sir William Trvlvar consumed the remaining time of his ten minutes In telling a delightful story about him self. "I had been dining at the Fish-2- bxmbhmh hmse hm hs mongers' Hall." he said, and I had to catch a train at London Hrldge after ward, t'nfortunately. I missed the train, and I complained to the cabman that he had not driven fast enough. "It ain't my fault, sir." said cabby: "It's that silly old fool of a lord mayor that has stopped fast driving." The sentence of four years Imposed on Voight.the' robber captain" of Koe penlck. by an unromantlc German tri bunal, meets with no popular sympa thy In Knglanl. Volght's exploit In holding up a town set the whole world laughing, and the result of the trial can only be viewed as a sad. it; heroic climax to a brilliant adventure It Is not surprising that the popular sym pathy goes out to the prisoner. A man who brings mirth Into a gray world Is a public benefactor. Volght Is some thing of a rascal, no doubt; but his superb audacity and his fertility In re source almost make one forget his mo rtal dHiquencles. Resides adding t'o the gayety of nations, he has brought home to the thoughtful Germans the absurdity of making a fetish of the Kaiser's coat. Volght seems to have been dogged by a relentless fate. More than once he turned from a criminal career to live an honest life, and em ployers for whom he worked gave him an excellent character. Hut his dead past rose up always to wreck his hope of an honest future. In the eyes of the police he was still a criminal, and as such a person to be hunted from pillar to post. In four months he was toi, to move cm ten times, and he sim- pty four! !' impossible t,, isv down hi-) past. i iver the ;:;r ,.f ., p., ..... i -vr,.A ., : Hir.'.ie ho:;-., in W.:iurn Muetc. re c v. ; the co.: ' -o -a :"n of Sir H' lvy !v h'i'i. il'i't.. or h.-: w1 -e "it ire h"."
