Ardmore, Okl., March 19 Now that Clara Smith llamou is free and, incidentally, without funds, since she pawned the jewels Hamon gave her to pay trial expenses what is she going to do? There lias been talk, of course, of her accepting propositions from movie picture concerns. . Also she has received tentative offers from publishers, who propose that she "do" the story of her life. But Clara Hamon would prefer to achieve something a bit more, original. And she has thought out a startling scheme. -Will Be Evangelist. If everything works out-as' expect ed, Clara Smith Hamon will become something of an evangelist She will tour the country, accepting offers to speak in churches. She will derive the themes for her sermons or ad dresses from the incidents of her life, before she met Hamon, during her period of intimacy with him and after the tragic incidents of. last Novem ber 21, when she shot him accident ally by the jury's verdict in the room he maintained for her and him self in the Kandol hotel here. In one of the letters written after her discovery in Chihuahua, Mex., she deescribed her desire to lead a religious life.

Her attorneys, or at least several of them, have ad mitted their enthusiasm for the car rying out of this plan. They are convinced that, properlymanaged, she may accomplish jmtch good and earn a fair living. ' 1 "Hinky Dink" Is Forced to Close Bar by High Rents Chicago, March 19.
