GIRL MISSING IN 1907
VIII Of Helen lone Bennett Is

Never Solved.
REQUESTS TO FRIENDS
Odd Document Necessitates Ac-
ton, Adding Last Chapter
to Disappearance.

Perhaps the final chapter in the disap-
pearance eleven years ago OF Miss Helen
lone Bennett. New York University stu
dent and social worker. was written yes
terday when Surrogate Cohalan APP
pointed Harlan Paul Douglas. Montciair.
administrator of the young woman's
small estate.
Whether Miss Bennett committed sui
eide or was the victim OF an accident or
murder never has been learned. She left
the home Of DR.. and Mrs. J. Price Gibbs.
East Tenth street, August 8. 1907. and
went to the old Aston Library. An at
tendant saw her there. but from the
moment she left the library with a book
under her arm all trace of her was lost.
Miss Bennett came to New York from
Springfield. Mo-. where as a student at
Drury College she won a scholarship at
New York University offered by Miss
Missouri. Miss Bennett. then "a, took UP
social and missionary work in this city
and was a familiar figure in Chinatown
and the italian colonies, as well as the
tenement districts of the East Side. For
a time II was thought she may have
met her death in one OF those sections.
but the most vigorous police search failed
to penetrate the mystery.
Tho appointment Of Mr.. Douglas ~
administrator Of the estate was made
necessary by reason Of an old will
which was found among her effects
some time after she dropped out OF
sight. The will named Mrs. X. r. Lttls
of Springfield as executrix. but she de-
clined TO serve.
"Beins of sound mind and in full pos
session of all my faculties" the will
said. "I direct that the following dis.
position be made of my property and
personal effects after my death.
"All the money of which / die pos
sessed. including such as may be cred
tied to me in my bank. and the pro
ceeds OF the policy hold with the Mu'

she has met me in her home and in tn,
hope that II may express to the whole
family my appreciation OF their many
l.ndnesses to me- There are many goot
and true friends whom I have not men

not given remembrance. To them
would say that this omission Is not fol
lack OF good will. but for lack OF pos
