MISSING GIRL
BEING SOUGHT
Daughter Of Wealthy
Broker Away From
Smith College

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Jan. 16.-
R)-Miss Frances 81. John Smith,
1s-year-old Smith College freshman
and daughter of a wealthy New York
broker. was sought today by every
agency at the command of the col
lege and state and local police au-
thorities.
Since she dropped out sight Friday
morning while clad in a fur-trimmed
terracotta coat, an orange jersey
dress and tan shoes, not single
clue rewarded the persistent efforts
If several hundred persons.
Mr.. Smith offered 1000 reward
for information leading to the find
ing Of the girl.
When the girls absence was dis
covered Saturday afternoon by n
clsssmate who called at her room in
Dewey hall. President William Allen
Nelson was recalled TO the city and
Immediately conferred with State De-
tective Joseph Daily.
Detective DAILY is the man who di-
rected the long but unavailing search
for Alice Corbett, l9-year-old Utica,
n. ". girl, who vanished from Smith
College under similar circumstances
on Nov. l3, 1925, and never was seen
again.
A search Of an area OF seven
square mics in the vicinity Of the
college yielded no trace Of the girl.
Paradise Pond on the campus was
drained without result.
Miss Smiths father expressed fear
that she met with an accident while
walking in the woods near the col
lege. She had suffered, he said
from a disjointed knee and fall
would make her helpless.
College officials thought the girl
may have been despondent because
she was low in her studies although
she had improved her standing since
the Christmas vacation.
