Rich Baaker W.s Ilia Lnaanrraa. If. C. Ufltxelman, a prominent banker and t of tha wealthiest citizens of Elgin. 111., married Mrs. Hulda Dobler. his laundress and woman of all work. The bridegroom la 71 years old and Is president of the Elgin National bank, tha St. Charles National bank and tha Algonquin National bank. Tha bride la ta years old and of attractive tppeaianc. Tha aged banker first met his bride eight een years ago when her husband was a clerk In, his employ. Several years later the husband died. Mrs. Geltzelinan died a year ago. Before -her death she had en gaged Mrs. Dobier ss l&undivss. Tha ceremony took place at tha residence of Mrs. C. J. Schmidt, a daughter of Qelt elmiA, who Is said to ba tha only one of his four children present Tha bridal couple left for a trip to Florida. On their return Few girls ever neve such an experience in life as this one. She was the youngest of five children. The father and mother were poor people In Indiana, but sustained the rcputntlon of hqneet. hard working people. When Dolly was 4 years of agfl her father, with a desire to better the con dition of tha family, made a trip to tha west to locate a homestead. Wtlle ha was gone a fire broke out In their humble home and all their goods and clothing were burned. Neighbor assisted tn taking care of the family temporarily and a theatrical woman named Andrews took advantage of the situation and kid naped the little girl and started en a long tour of performances. Upon the return of the father every effort was made to find the child. Neighbors contributed funds and long Journeys were taken to various seo tlons of the country, but the search was futile. Tn yesrs went by, during which time father and mother, two sisters and two brothers ware constantly grieving. At the end of ten years a telephone menage cama to the Child Saving Institute requesting the superintendent to come to the city Jail to tska charge of Utile Dolly Andrews, as Mrs. Andrews had been taken after a per formance to St. Joseph's hospital very 111 and died In the hospital. Aa far as the police suthorltles could ascertain there was no one Interested In Illy and no one who could give any Information about her. She was taken from the police court to the county judge's office and the institute was given guardianship. Inquiry wsa made of her about her peo ple. She gave tha name of a man in Indiana who was her uncle. A telegram was sent, but never reached this man. The operator at that station remembered, that ten years previous to :liat a little girl by the name of Dolly Richards hsd been kid naped and also knew that the father and mother were living In another portion of Indiana, and he sent a message to them Informing them that a little girl called Dolly Andrews hsd been left In Omaha with the Child Saving Institute and re quested the father to write a letter of Inquiry. When the letter came from the father the girl was questioned concerning the strange information contained In the letter. She said that Mrs. Andrews, the woman who died In the hospital, was her mother and that she had no relative by the name of Richards. She has no re membrance of the circumstances connected with her life previous to the kldnaptntr. A complete description was given of Dolly and again the father wrote Insisting the circumstances in the case as described and the description of the child made him believe it was their own Dolly. When this letter waa shown to Dolly she was greatly disturbed by It and cried and insisted that Mrs. Andrews was her own mother, and she knew that she would have told her If It wore not so. It was learned that Mrs, Andrews' father resided tn Kansas City, and the superintendent took the train for Kansas City and found the old man. After rpending two hours with him the superin tendent gained his confidence and when the question was asked him whether Dolly was his own grandchild he admitted she was not. Then -li wa asked where- Mrs. Andrews secured' the little girt an ba re plied that a, family by the name of Rich ards was broken up In Indiana when the little child was only 4 years of age and she was given to ills daughter for adoption. This waa sufficient evidence to make It clear. This Information from Mrs. An drews' father was submitted to Dolly, ullch made a very deep Impression upon her mind. In the meantime Mr. Richards had been requested to send photographs of himself and wife and the other children. When they enme the family resemblance waa very marked and after two months of Investigation and submission of evi dence to Dolly she was convinced that Mrs. Andrews who died lr the hospital waa not her mother, but that her own father and mother. John Richaids and his wife, were living in Indiana w'th two sisters and brothers. Most affectionate and loving letters were received from father and mother and sisters and brothers with reference to her return. Arrangements were completed for the restoration of the lost child and when they met tn the Union depot In Chicago fctrangere watching the scene wvre so moved that tears were seen In all eyes. One man who stood by and saw It turned away with the statement that no Jiving person could be so hard hearted as not to shod tears witnessing such a reunion Another man who saw this and learned that the Child Saving Instituta had been the means of bringing this about said, "It that' institute never does anything else for five years this one thing accomplished is worth tha entire cost of five years' ex pern a." STRIKE AT RUSK EN COLLEGE Angered Over Dismissal of Principal, todeat Threaten to Start flew gehool. OXFORD, April 3,-tThe students of Rus kln college, which waa founded here In 189 by an American, Walter Vrooman, to provide worklngman with facilities for the study of social and economic subjects, have been on a strike for a week on account of the dismissal of Dennis Hlrd, tha prin cipal. The students are dominated by the labor unions and the strike has been con ducted on strictly union methods, the stu dents boycotting the other lecturers and picketing tha grounds against any attempt on the part of Mr. Hlrd s successor to take charge. After a lengthy meeting today the stu dents decided to appeal to tha unions for 100.009 subscriptions of a shilling each to start a new college. MY. Hlrd was removed on the ground that ha was unable to malntala discipline. Th students scoff at this explanation and think he was deposed because hla teachings were considered too socialistic. WITH TDI COLLEGE ATHLETES Doing- im tha Field of Sporta in East and Weit. CHICAGO HAS STRONG TEAM TTatloaal Championship Gam la Has ket Ball -Wlseensla taaeats Prepare Trio to Poach keep, sle Rare Thla Sprlosj. The college basket ball season ha com to an end, and there Is no decision to the natlonst championship because of the refusal of Chicago to consider a challenge sent by th Pennsylvania five, Th Penn sylvanlans were so els ted because of the victory with which they ended their sea Son, which also wss tha only one to mar Columbia' schedule, that they decided they were entitled to be considered champion Of the Mat. This all tha mor so because a challenge to Columbia for a third tram had to be declined because th New York er had completed their tea son and bad disbanded their team. It would not hav been pobt anyway for Columbia to have continued further Into th year with basket ball because both Cerussl and Ryan had to give up th gam In order to take up their crew work, or rather in order to get a rest befor the hard work of th rowing season began for fear they might get overtrained. At any event, the Pennsylvania basket ball player considered themselves entitled to challenge Chicago for tha championship. Th westerners won th conference cham pionship with th clean record of twelve victor! and no defeats. Pennsylvania, was eser to get even for th reault of last year, when Chicago, after winning the con ference championship, won the national In tcrcolleglate as well by defeating the Penn ylvanlan. Dr. Joseph E Raycroft, who i In charge of basket ball matter at th University of Chicago, decided upon a very good and safe plan for determining whether or not Pennsylvania had a right to challenge for the national title. Letters were directed to the captain of the basket ball teams In the big eastern colleges. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth and others, asking what In the opinion of these men was the right of tha Pennsylvania team so to challenge. In practically every case Dr. Raycroft waa Informed that the Columbia team was entitled to be consid ered the champions of th east, and that therefor Pennsylvania really waa not en titled to challenge Chicago for anything. Chlragro's Team Stroogc. ft was as much for this reason as for any other that it was decided that Chicago would not take on the Pennsylvanlane. because it was felt on th Midway that It would be senseless to enter Into a compe tition in which If there were a victory for Chicago nothing whatever would be gained. On the other hand, to lose to Pennsylvania after the Quakers had failed to win th championship of the esst would have been rather a blow to Chicago pride. Specula tion In a matter like this is of small value, but it is safe to say that unless the Penn sylvania and Columbia teams were in top notch form on the occasion of the meeting with Chicago that the result would prob ably be a victory for the west once more. Chicago had a veteran squad of very strong men and as most of them had been playing together for some years It is not to be doubted that their team work Is fully as good as that of any players In tha east. Furthermore, Judging from some of the reports of games that Chicago ha played the Maroons hsve learned all the little tricks that used to distinguish the eastern teams and would be fully able to cope with anything in th Un of hard playing or roughness that any eastern squad could put up aa-alnst them. A gTeat change has come over th western game In the last three or four years since the introduction of a national intercollegiate rules board. Where once th distinguishing feature of the western game was tha no contact play now the guarding Is Just as close aa It Is In the eastern colleges. The result has been to make basket bsll In the conference division Just as bad a game as It la today In the east, and It is very likely that if It keeps on In this way Its term of life will be threatened as seriously In the conference as It has been In this section, especially In the New England institutions. All-Western Teaaaa. Haskell Noyes, the former Yale baaket ball player, who coached Wisconsin, has selected two all-western teams, in the first of which appear only two Chicago men. It gives two places to Wisconsin and one to Illinois. Two mor Chicago men appear on his second team, with on from Wis consin, on from Illinois and one from Purdue. Oeorgen of Chicago, who has gen erally been considered by most men as a very effective player. Is put on the second team as a forward. It is presumed that hia place has been given to Swenholt of Wisconsin by Coach Noyes. Tha two teams are made up aa follow: First tesm Forwards, Popperfuss, Illinois, and Bwenholt, Wisconsin; center, Schom mer, Chicago; guards, Hoffman, Chicago, and Noe, Wisconsin. Seoond team For wards, Oeorgen, Chicago, and Lewis, Pur due; center, Posten, Illinois; guards, Witt, Wlsoonsln, and Page, Chicago. An Interesting thing has been started by the students st Wisconsin. They have formed a regatta club, the members of which are to subscribe small amounts weekly, until s round the time of the Poughkeepsle regatta they will have enough money to buy observation train tickets and to hire a special car In which to go to th race at Poughkeepsie. This will be sup porting the crew more strongly than ever before was done by Wisconsin, and should have a correspondingly good effect on th oarsmen. Wisconsin adherents hav for the most part been persons who live In the ast and who admire th pluck and th nerve of the Wisconsin oarsmen In coming her year after year to put up a fight for the rowing honors.

April t Vincenso Oeracl, whe Is said by i the police to be the leader ol th Chicago Black Hand society, was ar rested her today In th office of Dr. Peter Cutrer. from whom th Italian had de manded 13,000 on pain of death. Oeracl. it is said, ha given evidence concerning bis sasoolalaa In th plot, and the police expect to arrest several mors members of Ilia gang soon.
