HEIRS To RICHES
LEFT BY TITANIC
VICTIM SOUGHT.
J. Montague Smart, Prominent
Business Man, Left Fortune.
No Trace Of Benefciaries.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-During his
active life ]. Montgomery Smart was
a man of mystery. Now that his
bones lie in the sunken Titanic, his
past is a greater puzzle than ever,
and so far it is unsolved. Usually
when q 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 Ii
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 ]. 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, 1t 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
filaments of inquiry extended. The
American consuls Of many ports
were asked to aid in the hunt That
was in May, 1872
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,

Storage and Shipping Company,

they were surprised to find that only

Strenuous Campaign.
70 MILES FROM CAPITAL

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-Troopers
at Fort Myer have begun prepara-
lions 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
Phil" Sheridan made his famous ride
30 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, 40 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 will have only 20
miles to go. and the horse battery
from Fort Riley, Kans., will be sent
by rail
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 1t
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. H Murray, Of
the Twelfth Cavalry, as Brigadier

the cavalry board, is prohibited from

of his retirement General McCler-
nand, however, with Lieutenant Colo
nels J. T. Dickmann and Fred S. Fol-
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 hostilities?
The new formation of the cavalry
into double ranks also win be tried
out on a large scale, a practical test
by Captain Parker, of the Eleventh
Cavalry, at Fort Huachuca, Ariz.,
with an experimental squadron hav-
ing been pronounced a complete sue
