prosecutions for crime, the loss of
power Of production by the drunken
ness of laborers, waste of property
through accident, explosions, collisions
and incendiary fires, traceable directly

Chicago, Ill.,, May 2i-The sudden
appearance of Maybell Smell McNa
mara, dlsguished, in Bloomington, H.
within a few days, has added spice
of mystery TO the Smell case which
cannot easily be explained away. AZ
the author of the most odoriferou-
missives which will play part in the
present case Mrs. Mcnamara has 4
great personal interest in the hearings
now in progress aud her mission only
can be surnised.
While Mrs. Mcnamara was in
Bloomington under an assumed name
her husband. James H. Mcnamara is
declared to have made a secret visit
to Clinton. Whether il was with view
of seeing personally the letters which
he has learned through the news
papers his wife wrote on to make an
effort TO suppress them nobody has
been able to discover.
Meanwhile, the phrase undesirable
citizens has taken a new and even
more unpleasant significance here,
and the 'undesirables" against whom
Clinton mothers are carrying on Il
determined campaign are in greater
danger of exposure now than they
ever were at the hands of the court
Fear that the names of their own

School Girls Letter.
Yesterday one of the letters Of one
of the high school girls, whose names
are being sought so eagerly was dug
up,
The naive statements of the writer
indicated that it was her first step
into an entangling alliance with the
cratic millionaire. The letter reads as
follows:
MY Dear Col Smell: am so sur

Allusion to the postoftce box is add
ed cerification OF the testimony of the
former postmaster. who testified al
the previous hearing of the case. He
declared that Colonel Smell had rented
boxes for several school girls. 10
whom he wrote letters continually
sending them sums of money ranging
from 81 to $40 each.
Want Mabel's Testimony.
The lawyers representing Richard
Smell, son of the late millionaire
would like to place Mabel on the iwt-

They are not only trying to break

fciary to the extent of $1,000 year,
but they win seek to recover for the
estate a part of the princely gifts that
Colonel Smell made to her when ho
was taking her about the country and
exchanging passionate love letters

That Mabells sudden disappearance

scene of the present battle for mil.
lions, has something to do With the

the report made by agents of the

1t is the theory Of the lawyers that
the McNamaras were here to ATTEMPT
to safeguard their interests rather
than to investigate and disprove the
stories Of the relations between the
old man and the young woman.
One of the witnesses who will testi-
