WARNS DEAR HENRY
TO TELL WIFE IF
PAYMENTS CEASED.
In Letter Paula Is Said to Have Writ
ten-sues Miller for Breach
of Promise.

When he stepped from the barge ply
ing between the Battery in New York
City and Ellis Island at the conclusion
of the hearing in the deportation pro-
ceedings against Fraulein Paula
K~lipenbourg, Horace E.. Miller, the
Newarker who was said to have in
stituted the proceedings, was served
with papers II a breach of promise
suit brought by the Viennese dancer.
The papers were served by Edwin S.
Merrill, counsel for Paula Klipenbourg,
and service vas acknowledged, accord
ing to the statement of Mr.. Merrill.
The suit is brought for $4,000 in the
New York State Supreme Court, and it
will be several months before it is
reached for trial.
Miss Klipenbourg, who has been stop
ping at the Aston House in New York
since her release from Ellis Island five
or six weeks ago, said yesterday after
noon that she would sail for Paris
early lex week., no matter what de-
cision is reached in the deportation
case, and would return when her suit
against Miller comes to trial.
Edward f. Vollmer, counsel for Mil
Ter, said yesterday afternoon that Mil
ler's reason for stating to the Federal
authorities thai Miss luxembourg was
a woman of questionable character and
unworthy of the privileges accorded a
tourist, was not to evade any legal
claims she ma have upon him. but to
cope with the demands of a black
mailer. Miller admits an incident in
1902 and keeping up communication
with her and writing foolish letters
l. -. lot - a ccaV-td onaoFdinp m his
lawyer, that he had reason when he
met her to doubt her character.
MI. Vollmer said that his client broke
off relations with Miss Klipenbourg
two years ago, and since that time had
had nothing to do with her until her
arrival here on August 3 last. He
AYERS that despite this fact the young
woman has constantly written Miller,
demanding money. One of these letters
was made public and read as follows:
Dear Henry:
7 believe YOU and sympathize with you
| greatly now hat you have lost your
| senses, which is shown by your romanclns
letter of July %, 1905, written from London.
Bur. in the first place, as you nave seen
from my recent letter, / am not SO. bad q
person as you perhaps deserve, and l should
have treated you differently.
Secondly, you must surely know what /
uhNe uOhC WA " 49,
In the third place. fear was never cne of
my weaknesses. 1 fear no one, nor am l
| afraid of my life.
Then take good heed Of these three
clauses. and, IL possible, learn them by
heart. ] ave nothing more to write IN
answer to your very long letter;
You should also know that l expect the
same amount of money from you every
month ttat I formerly received. Yon
needn't write me anything-just send it
every month. Then I will be quieted, II
not-I tell you freely--your wife will be
told everything. mot mine, for 1 haven't
any,.
In fact, l have no one, and I am not
ashamed of what l debut ] believe the
latter is to your advantage.
Think over all of this and send me my
money every month. then you need never
fear. PAULA.
Mr.. Vollmer further commended that
his client met Miss K~lipenbourg on
the street six weeks ago, and that she
asked him to accompany her to a re-
sort on the Bowery, where they might
talk the matter over. He AYERS that
Miller refused to do so and consulted
him. 1t was upon his advice, Mr.. Voll-
mer stated. that Miss Klipenbourg was
taken to his office and arrested as an
undesirable alien" and taken to Ellis
Island. He concluded by saying that
the damage suit would never come to
trial.
Miss Klipenbourg said at the time
of her release from Ellis Island that
Mr.. Miller met her the day following
her arrival in this country and they
dined together at the Cafe Boulevard.
She also said that she visited Newark
on August 5 in company with Michael
Gluckman, whom she met at the home
of her fiance, in Paris, a year ago.
