SOCIETY WOMEN IN
PARIS ANXIOUS FOR
ARREST OF 'CHEIRO'
Many Called Regularly to Have Him
Look Into Their Eyes and
Future and Hold
Hands

PARIS, Jan. 13.-Where is Cheiro?
That is the question now agitating
French society-particularly that por-
ton of it which used to make periodical
visits to the noted palmist and have
him hold their hands and read their
palms, and look into their eyes and
futures.
Who is Cheiro? Everybody ought
knows Cheiro-by reputation, anyway.
Cheiro, according to the police of
Paris, is the smoothest faker ever
known in Europe. He has read
palms and told futures in nearly all the
principal cities of America, but Cheiro
now is vanished. He left behind him,
in Paris at least, a number Of sorrowing
women. Among them are Mrs. George
Baldwin Newell and Miss Josephine
Pomeroy, who charge that Cheiro mis-
appropriated stocks and bonds valued
at $500,000 before he disappeared.
Cheiro's real name is said to be John
Warner, but he was known in Paris as
Count Hamon and was associated with
many of the wealthiest and most prom
inent people in London and Paris
Warrants have been issued in Paris for
his arrest.
