NEW YORK, March 2S.-Developments
today in the Booker T. Washington as
sauIt case indicate that he was mistaken
for a negro supposed to have been re-
tanned to kidnap the 1o-year-old daughter
OF Mrs. Albert Ulrich. Some two weeks
before. a negro. 1t Is reported, called at
the Ulrich apartment in a plan TO obtain
the child When washington was seen In
the vestibule OF the house and the neigh
borhood he was mistaken for the negro.
It was assumed that he was waiting to
seize the girl and spirit her away. UI-
rich. informed Of his presence. according
to the story. attacked the negro. Accord
ing TO WIIford H. Smith. Washington's
attorney, this is the motive for the as
sault on the educator. Smith is said TO
have obtained the names Of several wit
nesses living In the neIghborhood OF the
assault. and can prove that Il was unpro-
voked. In view OF these developments
he said he might ask District Attorney
WhoIman to interest himself IN the mat
ter an present the case 70 the grand Jury
in order TO have an Indictment issued
charging feionious assault.
Mr. Ulrch's daughter is Dolores Alvarez
Her father is a man OF Spanish birth he
was Mrs. UIrich's former husband. Smith
IS at present investigating the contents
of a letter from A. w. Abbott agent Of
the Children's Aid society OF Orange. n.

the fat in which Ulrichy lived. He APP
peared with q negro and said he intended
TO take Dolores away with him. She
locked herself in room TO prevent their
getting the girl. When Ulrich returned
she told him OF the incident. When Mrs.
Ulrfch saw Washington In the neighbour
hood. Smith believes, she thought she rec
ognized him as the negro who had &C
companIed her one-time husband, and
broke the news to Ulrich. The latter. be-
Iieving an attempt at kidnapping was
about to be made, according TO the law
yer's reasoning. attacked the educator.
James l. Moore. the attorney represent
ing Mr. Ulrieh. said the KIDNAPPING story
was new TO him. He had never heard
even an intimation OF it. he said. He
would inquire about It as soon as he saw
the Ulrichs. he said. The Ulrichs could
not be found at their home.
Washington delivered an address last
