LOS ANGELES, March s.-More than
a score of women, some of them of con-
siderable prominence, are mourning
the disappearance of a dapper young
fellow who was known here as J. S.
Smith, and who during the past three
weeks cleaned up nearly $4,000 by vic
timizing people in a get-rich- quick
game. Nearly all Of his victims are
women.
Smith played no favorites and as
diversion made love to Miss Carrie Car
ter and was soon engaged to marry
her. She learned of his business enter
prise and desiring to profit thereby
gave him 5000 to invest for her. telling
him that the profits would be sufficient
for them to furnish their prospective
home. He took the money but the
profits have not been forthcoming.
His game was very simple. He ad-
vertised that he would pay 10 per cent
month interest on investments for
more than $780, and stated that his plan
could not be beaten. He invited corre-
spondence or personal investigation
When VICTIM called upon him he rep

confidence of his victims it was easy
for him to get what money the victim
had. For month he paid the 10 per

capital intrusted to him. but when his
bank roll approached the $4,000 mark he
departed. 1t is supposed he went to
San Francisco. and the authorities
