CHICAGO. oct. 15.-Two Italian children.
Identified from photographs tonight as
Tomasso and Grace Viviano, who were
kidnapped from St. Louis August and who
have been sought since by the police of
many cities, were found early today wan
dering almlessly on the north side of the
city by Detective Stephen Parodi Of the
Chicago avenue police station.
The children were sitting on a curb
stone at North Halsted and Rees streets
Both were weeping the fittle girl, who is
less than years old, sobblng bitterly, and
Tomasso her cousin, who is years old
trying to comfort her.
Detective Parodi took the children in his
arms and asked them where they lived
Tomasso said that he did not know. Re
membering the Viviano case, he asked
Tomasso II his name was Vivlano. The
boy nodded his head as if to confirm his
identity. The detective hurried with the
children to the Hudson avenue police sta
tion and later they were taken to the North
Side station and Police Inspector O'Brien
took charge of the case.
Photographs Of the missing st. Louis
children were procured from the central
detective bureau and Inspector OBrien was
convinced, on comparing them with the
homeless foundlings, that the recovered
children were the long sought victims OF
the ST. Louis kidnapping, which had taxed
the ingenuity of the detectives in many
cities for many weeks.
Tomasso the elder of the children, was
asked by the inspector ana Captain Rehm
where he and Grace, his cousin had been
since they were taken from their home in
st, Louis The child could give no intelli-
gent answer. He said he did not know
where he lived and could give no account
of his abandonment
At the Chicago avenue police station
1t was stated that the boy appeared to be
In dazed condition and the little girl was
too young to give any comprehensive state
ment concerning herself.
Inspector O'Brien notified the st. Louis
police tonight of the recovery Of the chill
dren, and their parents in St. Louis also
were notified and are expected to arrive
here, tomorrow, morning. to reclaim them
Meanwhile detectives are searching Italian
sections of the city in an endeavor to learn
who Abandoned the children and where
they had been since their mysterious dis
appearance from st. Louis last summer.
The police believe that the kidnapers
had the children secreted in a secluded
section OF the city and turned them loose
when efforts to extort ransom had failed.

Political IntriGue-ImpOrtanc
of Act MInimtEed.
NEW YORK Oct. 15.-Charles r. Crane,
who was appointed minister to China and
who was recalled just as he was about
to sail for his post, declined today to re-
veal what his friends declare are the real
reasons for his retirement.
One OF these friends, however, Walter
L. Fisher of Chicago intimated that the
incident was far from closed and that rev.
elations would be made in due time that
would show Mr.. Crane to have been the
victim OF a political intrigue
1T is due to Mr.. Crane, said Mr.. Fisher,
Ito note that in carrying out the presl-
dents wishes that he should do some Wig
orous public speaking, and in the absence
OF instructions from the state department
Mr. Crane carefully confined himself to
lines laid down by Mr.. Taft himself in the
famous Shanghai speech, ringing with Wig
orous Americanism and so definitely
friendly to the Chinese that 1t needed all
talk OF the dismemberment OF China.
Those who are so concerned about
whether Mr.. Crane was pro-Japanese OF
anti-Japanese seem unable to understand
a man who has been first, last and all the
time simply pro-American, and as the
American minister to China also pro-
Chinese.
His only thought In connection with
the offending newspaper article was thai
IL the American government should decide
that its intrest in the open door de-
manded a protest, the American press
should then be prepared TO discuss It in.
