Base Ball Returns at Columbia

The new model of the Paragraph
which is in operation at the Columbia
Theater will be made use of today to
portray the details of the plays made in
the closing game of the series between
the Nationals and the Detroit club.
The Columbia is proving one of the
most popular places in the city with
fans who want to see the Sunday games,
and with an improved Geographic serv-
ice. the Paragraph will doubtless prove
more popular than ever.

HEIRS To RICHES

VICTIM SOU CHI
J. Montague Smart, Prominent
Business Man, Left Fortune.
No Trace of BenefCiaries.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-During his
active life J. Montgomery Smart was
a man of mystery. Now that his
bones lie in the sunker Titanic his
past is a greater puzzle than ever,
and so far il Is unsOlved. Usually
when a man dies. even though he NAV
have been of distinction, his hidden
history is buried with him. But
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 tho
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, IL became nee
essary to find his heirs. II 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 had
any definite idea Of their where
abouts.
Into three countries of Europe the
filaments 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. II was
asserted that the children were IN
charge of a Mrs Cook, VINO 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,
sfble to discover, and the hunt settle
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 Acquaintance.
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
the barest information was obtain
able about his nersonal affairs.
Smart was a hermit in a great city
and he was a hermit in his many voy
ages and travels in foreign countries

Flagler's Isolation
Necessary, Saws Doctor.

NEW YORK. June 2S.-Dr owen
Kenan, brother of Mrs. Henry NJ.
Fiagler, 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 Flagler is in no con
dition to be interviewed, so that
can speak for her.
80 far as | 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. lhe cottage in which
he died is not Gilapidated. II rents

and some prominent Boston society
people had It last winter.
If Amasa Flagler's object is to in
duce Harry Fl. Flagler to contest the
will It 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

Undertaken Imported
To Conduct Funeral.

The body of the dead millionaire
was taken in hand by an undertaken
imported from Miami. Undertaken
Mckinley, in West Palm Beach, was
not consulted. Citizens of the town
believe this to be the case because
Henry NJ Flagler and the city Of
West Palm Beach had little in com
mon. The two have been antagonis-
tic of late years, in spite of the work
of development which Flagler has
done for East Florida, and a number
Of local ordinances and regulations
were passed inimical to the Flagler
interests.
Residents of West Palm Beach now
declare that the feeling that grew MP
was not personal to Flagler himself,
but was OCcasiOned by actions of 9TH
er officials of the Florida East Coast
Railroad.
Flagler's funeral was held in St.
Augustine, and his body placed in an
elaborate vault which he had built IN
connection with the Memorial Pres
byterian Church. St. Augustine he
