BY HARRY w. NICHOLS,
international News Serv1ce)

New York, Sept. TN. G.
This is the stamp which has been
placed upon Lieutenant Louis A.
Kloor, u. S. NJ, gentleman and hero,
by Miss Alexandra Flowerton, veal
thy Long Island society girl, in re-
turning to him the troth he plight
ed her, with the announcement that
their engagement is broken for lack
of funds.
The boy leader of last December's
involuntary balloon expedition into
the frozen wastes OF the Northland
commenting ON the breaking of the
engagement, said:
Just say it was broken by mutual
agreement. We are the same friends
that we always WERE"
Said Mrs. Alexandra ]. Flowerton,
the mother of the pretty young So
ciety belle:
1.-THE engagement was broken be-
cause of the small salary which Il
naval officer receives. My daughter
Alexandra, has always been accus-
toned to living that could not be
continued on naval lieutenant's sal
airy. We all think Lieutenant KlOor
is a brilliant young man. There is
no other man or woman involved.
The romance of the young pair
started several Summers ago, and
the engagement was announced i'm
mediately following the safe return
from the Canadian icefields of the
three naval heroes--Kloor, Hinton
and Farrell. Miss Flowerton lives
in Far Rockaway, close by the Rock
away station.

IS .VICTIMIzED
BY ASTRANCER
Man Purporting to Repre-
sent Tailoring House OF
Chicago Collects $500
and Disappears.

Mrs Bertha Clifford yesterday
morning paid a stranger $500 in
return for contract the Individual
presented with the proposition that
he was employing her to represent
a Chicago womans tailoring house.
The contract was duly signed, set
ting forth stipulations of the COM
missions and salary Mrs. Clifford
was to receive for her services, and
that was the last that has been seen
or heard of the stranger.
Mrs. Clifford told a Press repre-
sentative that the stranger claimed
to have been sent to her upon rec
concentrations that she would make
his house a faithful agent for this
community. He carried with him
sample line of fine hosiery and made
the statement that he would supply
her with 1,400 samples of fabrics
representing the line carried by
his house and from which women's
apparel would be made up to indi-
vidual measurements
The proposition presented by the
stranger, according to Mrs Cliff
ford and others who heard him talk,
appeared to be regular and there
was no occasion for suspicion OF
unfair dealing in his manner of
conduct and speech He claimed it
was the requirement of his house to
collect $500 upon placing an agen-
cy and that the money would be
used for advertising that an agency
had been established in Paragould.
Soon after signing the contract
and paying the stranger the money.
Mrs. Clifford began an investigation
of the transaction. She found that
the check had been cashed at the
ParagouId Trust Company, but no
trace of the individual could be
found Officers began a search but
could not locate the man. No name
was found on local hotel registers
that was the same as the name he
gave.
The stranger was described as
wearing light grey suit of clothes,
straw hat and tan shoes. He is a
