HEIRS To RICHES
LEFT BY TITANIC
VICTIM SOUGHT 7.
}. Montague Smart, Prominent
Business Man, Left Fortune.
No Trace of BenefCiaries.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-During his
active life J. Montgomery Smart was
man of mystery. Now that his
bones lie in the sunker Titanic, his
past is a greater puzzle than ever
and so far it is unsoved. Usually
when man dies, even though he NAV
have been of distinction his hidden
history is buried with him Bat
Smart was a man of wealth. and 1t
became necessary to try to discover
vital facts of his intimate personal
life.
Thus began a world wide search
that has served only to make the case
Of J, Montgomery Smart all the
stranger. He was an honored and
successful man of business, whose
transactions were international in
scope. even extending from New York
to Australia.
Necessary to Find Heirs.
Having left money, ii became nee
essary to find his heirs. 1t was re-
membered that this man of silence
never described his family 1t was
known that he had been married and
that his wife had died ten years be
fore. Vague words dropped here and
there were gathered and It became
apparent that Smart had two chill
dren, a boy of 20 and a girl of IS.
But no one could be found who hal
any definite idea Of their where
abOuts.
Into three countries of Europe the
hlaments of inquiry extended. The
American Consuls Of many ports
were asked to aid in the hunt. That
was IN May, 1912.
One fact was discovered in the
course Of the Belgian hunt, 1t was
asserted that the children were IN
charge of a Mrs Cook, who was a
great friend of Mrs. Smart, and that
Smart was paying her literally to
care for them But who was Mrs,
Cook? Her identity was also impos-
sible to discover and the hunt settled
down into a hope that the guardian
would write for funds, thus solving
the riddle. But she has been swal-
lowed in silence.
Had Many Acquaintances.
AS president Of the American Cod
Storage and Shipping Company
Smart had made many acquaintance
among prominent business men OF
! New York, London Berlin, Paris and
many other cities throughout the
world Many believed that they knew
/ him well. But when the test came
they were surprised to find that only

able about his personal affairs.

ages and travels in foreign countries

Flagler's Isolation
Necessary, SAYS Doctor.

NEW YORK, June 28.-Dr. owen
kenan, brother Of Mrs. Henry NJ
Flagler, to-day issued a vigorous de-
NAL Of the charges Of Amasa Plum
mer Flagler regarding the circum-
stances which surrounded the death
Of his patient at West Palm Beach.
There isn't a word of truth in the
whole thing" he said. The only ex-
plantation is that these so-called
charges originated IN the brain Of
some cunning adventurer with an ak
to grind. Publication Of these IN
founded rumOrs have annoyed US
greatly, and Mrs F1agler is in no con
clifton to be interviewed, 50 that !
can speak for her
$50 far as l can make out, the
greatest objection TO conditions this
Amasa F1agler found at the Beach
was the isolation Of the sick man.
That was natural Mr.. Flagler was
old, his illness was serious and he
needed quiet. The cottage in which
he died is not dilapidated. 1t rents
for an enormous sum every season,
and some prominent Boston society
people had it last winter
IF Amasa FlagIer's object is to in
duce Harry II FlagleT TO contest the
will 1t will fail Harry Flagler is a
gentleman although he had not
spoken to his father but once In the
last seventeen years. He was left

From Bedside

During the period of the fnancier's
illness little definite news came from
mis- bedside Newspaper men Of Wesr
Palm Beach and Of Jacksonville de-
clare that no bulletins were issued,
and that inquiries were met always
with Indebtedness.
For weeks Flagler lay thus. 10
one was admitted. The gossip of
servants has fingered in West Palm
Beach, declaring that the dying man
in his delirium called frequently for
his son and frequently also for Will

Harry Hardness Flagler, who has
been estranged from his father for II
years, was not summoned until by
Amasa p. Flagler. Friend, another
for whom Mr. Flagler called. lived on
the grounds, within a half q mile Of
the cottage but was never taken to
the sick room
The same gossip has recorded
that J. A. Mcdonald, Of Miami, an
old friend of Mr. Flagler, and Father
Mclaughlin, a Catholic priest Of Mi

the sick man.
Along toward the end came Amasa
Flagler. According 10 his own story,
he had sent a telegram to herald his
visit. Reaching Palm Beach. he was
informed that he could not see the
sick man. He declares that he vir-

TROOPS To MAKE

Realistic Advance Next Month
Into the Historic Valley May
Mean New System,

WASHINGTON. June 28.-Troopers
at Fort Myer have begun prepars
tions for their 7o-mile march into the
Shenandoah Valley next month to
participate in maneuvers expected to
result in reorganization of the mount
ed forces Of the army.
The Shenandoah Valley. where
"Phir Sheridan made his famous ride
so years ago. has been chosen as the
bloodless battle ground for the test.
For two months this summer a full
brigade Of cavalry and a battery of
horse artillery will maneuver and
fight" over the red roads. the green
hills. and fields near Winchester.
The department has leased a tract
OF ground one mile broad and two
miles long in the heart of the Shen-
andoah, 70 miles away, and orders
were issued to the troops some time
ago.
Oglethorpe Troopers on March.
Two regiments of the brigade, those
from Fort Ethan Allen, Vt, and Fort
Oglethorpe. Ga, must ride 700 dusty
miles under a summer sun before they
can reach the valley. and they must
report July 20. The First Squadron
from Fort Myer viii have only 20
miles TO go. and the horse battery
from Fort Riley, Kans., win be sent

Secretary Garrison will be a fire.
quent spectator. Major General Wood,
chief OF staff, United States Army,
probably will spend much time there,
and President Wilson may make the
trip.
The necessity for a rehabilitation Of
the cavalry was disclosed when the
general STAFF some time ago made
ambitious plans for the reorganiza-
ton OF the army SO as to prepare it
for the defense Of the country against
attack by any great military power.
This resulted in the sending to Eu-
rope last year OF a board Of six cav
airy officers, who studied the German.
Russian, Austro- Hungarian, French
and English organizations.
Officers Study Abroad.
-Four months were spent abroad by
these officers and since their return
they have prepared plans for radical
changes in the organization and use
OF cavalry Of the American army.
The tests will take place under the
direction Of Colonel c. II. Murray. OF
the Twelfth Cavalry, as Brigadier
General + J. McClernand, the head of
the cavalry board, is prohibited from
! exercising actual command by virtue
| of his retirement General McCler-

| ia, Major Jesse Mel Carter and
| Captain Frank Parker, all members
| Of the board which studied the Euro
| pean systems. will be present.
| Some of the practical questions to
| be worked out are:
! How large a command can a cap
| tain handle successfully?
| How many such units can a colonel
handle to the best advantage under
| conditions approximating hostlltties ?
The new formation of the cavalry
| into double ranks also will be tried
| out on a large scale, a practical test
