PRICE IN NEW YORK, AND Is
SAID TO BE HIGHEST PRICE
EVER PAID FOR REAL ESTATE.
Special to The journal.

clared to be the highest price ever
paid for a piece OF land in the world
was announced the other day in con-
nection with the sale of the northwest
corner of thirty-fourth street and
Broa dway, in the Herald square sec
ton of the city. The seller was Robert
s. Smith, who landed here thtrty-one
wears ago from England, with just
s6 in his pocket and no one to greet
him at the dock. The price paid for
the plot. which covers only 1.154,
square feet-less than half a city lot
was $1,000, 900. This Is at the rate OF
1870 a square foot.
The next nearest approach to this
was 1922 a square foot paid for the
pIot occupied by the massive building
Of the Manhattan Trust Co. in Wall
Street. opposite the Treasury,
where George Washington took the
oath as the first president of the
United States. Mr.. Smith bought the

New York, Dec. 25.-Somewhere on
the broad Atlantic, seeking friendly
asylum on the more hospitable shores
of Europe, is one Baron" Christian
van Motz, a debonnair, soldierly look
ing man. with an ornnfverous appe-
tite for the American dollar. Former
State Senator William H. Reynolds,
a millionaire real estate operator,
thinks the baron scented trouble and
fed before the police had an op-
portunity to interview him. Won Motz
is described here as one of the most
finished imposters who has within re-
cent years endeavored to break into
the wealthy families of New York,
with his fancifu1 tales of castles in
stories Of thrilling achievements
bravely performed.
Early In October the smooth
tongued heart breaker returned to this
country on the Minnehaska with the
wife Of Senator Reynolds and their
seventeen year old daughter. On the
way over he ingratiated himself, with
his engaging manners into the good
opinion Of the mother and availed
himself of the opportunity to make
violent love to the daughter Flattered
by the attentions showered upon her
by the supposed n9bleman, the girl
was vsib1y pleased! But when the
ship arrived and the senator learned
of the ripening attachment between
his daughter and the knightly one
with the broad mustachio and dulcet
voice, he had van Motz looked up.
The looking up was not to the ad-
vantage of the suitor, who on learning
that Reynolds had threatened to
tether him with q big stick, disappear
ed from town. The investigation ASIDE
from disclosing the fact that he was
spurious baron showed that he had
spent three weeks in jail here some
years ago for Withholding S170 receiv-
ed from the pawning of some jewels
belonging to Mrs. Marcus Denison
Russell, the widow of Capt. Russell OF
Col. Roosevelt's Rough Riders" The
widow had taken a deep fancy to the
baron" He had proposed marriage
to her and it is said had been &C
cetped.
In financial emergency, the widow
turned over to him a jeweied pin to
hypothecate for her.
What hurt the widow more than MS
retention of most of the money thus
realized was the fact that he used
it with which to lay siege to the hand
