HOTEL OWNERS WILL FIGHT
VIII Suffer, They Say, if New Workers
Get Boardwalk Moved.

ATLANTIC CITY. Sept. 3O.-A bitter
battle in the courts is impending be-
tween uptown hotel owners and New
York capitalists. who recently acquired
the beach frontage of the Hotel Rudolf,
at New Jersey avenue. Declaring that
the beach front, now useless because of
restrictions against structures seward
of the promenade, 1t worth S500.000
the New Workers will resort to law TO
compel the city to move the boardwaA0
seaward 300 feet at New Jersey avenue
when the new concrete promenade Is
erected along the Inlet front from Pa
cifc to Connecticut avenue, a block
above the scene of contention.
Charles r. Myers. owner of the Ru-
dolf, and other owners viii fight the
movement with every means at heir
disposal, for. the removal of the walk
seaward would make the syndicate's
land available for building operations
and cut off the Rudolf and other prop
critics worth three times the holdings
of the syndicate from connection with
the Boardwalk.
The ST. Charles n other hotels
would be affected in a somewhat sim
il8r way, and the new line of the walk
would cut the steel Pier, owned by
Philadelphians. in half.

WIND PREVENTS CONTEST.
Long Distance Balloon Race Prevented
by Adverse Weather Conditions.


PARIS, Sept. BOA light wind and
ain during the night, followed by a
heavy downpour this morning, spoiled
the long-distance balloon ace for the
grand prize of the Aero Club Of France,
which was started from the Tuilleries
gardens here yesterday afternoon. Rain
was falling at the start, and the wind
was blowing from the southeast, which
would nave taken the balloons towards
the English coast, causing several Of
the pilots to give UP the contests last
evening after covering less than forty
kilometres. Others came down today
at points along the French coast, and
owing to the thick weather prevailing
1t is not believed that any of them
attempted to cross the English chan
mel. Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon
thirteen of the nineteen balloons which
started in the race had landed on this
side Of the channel. Count Saint Vic
tor, a veteran aeronaut, and one of the
leading French contestants, is among
those not reported, and it is considered
probable that he was the pilot of the
balloon which, according to a dispatch
received here from London was. res
cued in the North Sea off the coast of
Suffolk, by a passing craft.
The members of the Aero Club ex-
press surprise at the fact that any Of
the pilots ventured out to sea in such
bad weather.

grand stand. Her face has been ia
miliar on the streets of Newark, and
she is well known in automobile circles
hereabouts.
To her few intimates the young
woman, who is said by some to have
been an actress, said that she and
Smelser mad beer fast friends for many
years, when Smelser was winning his
laureis as a cyalist in the Midle West
Circuit. At times she referred to her
early life and acquaintance with Smell
ser. and her acquaintance were given
to understand that she had been mar
ried some years. > She referred to
numerous incidents in her early ac-
quaintance, and especially to her grad
uation from school, at which time, she
said, Smelser was many miles away
winning track laurels and smashing
bicvcle records. She said that he did
not forget her, and sent handsome
bouquets of flowers and other costly
gifts.
This. however, c%ontradicts the state
ment made at the morgue. yesterday
when the young woman went there to
arrange for the funeral. She was ac-
companied by a physician. who is said
to have claimed that after she met
Smelser lie claimed himself to be a
widower. and she married him, fully
satisfied as to his connubial state.
Her first knowledge that Smelser had
a wife living came early yesterday
when she met the woman who claims
she knew Smeiser as Luther w. Seal
SER. and that they were married and
lived in Hartford. The Hartford woman
said that they lived together several
years, and that when her husband left
her he claimed that he would send for
her when circumstances permitted.
The woman is earning a livelihood for
herself and daughter as a manicurist in
the Allyn House, Hartford.
She appeared at the morgue In deep
mourning. and referred to Smelser as
MIR. Sealser, my late husband" The
little woman who lived with Smelser
in this city wore a heavy black veil
She sobbed bitterly as she looked down
on the fern Of Smelser and moaned
"Oh, Luther! Luther! l know this isn't
true 1t was almost impossible tc
pacify her when the time came for tht
leave-taking.
Mr.. Boyd. of the firm of Boyd and
Mulcahy, started this morning fol
indianapolis with the body. Whether
the Newark wife accompanied the re-
mains is not known and could moi
be ascertained from Mr.. Mulcahy, who
was reached by telephone this morning
At the boarding house. II East Park
street, where Smelser and his wife
boarded, IL was learned this morning
that Mrs. Smelser returned home last
Saturday and packed up her belong
ings with those of her husband and
prepared them for shipment. She left
the house after saying that she would
have the trunks called for by an ex-
pressman in a few days. Little infor-
nation regarding either Smelser or the
woman at that address could be OBJ
tanned.
At the auto agency in Bank street
II wa learned that Smelser had beer
employed by the Lozier people about
two years, prior to which time he hae
been employed by the P~ope-Toledc
Company as a demonstration.
