 Mrs Bogdan told the police this morning that she has no objections to Ryzow marrying her niece if he can prove to her satisfaction that he has not a wife living in Russia. The aunt suspects that such is the case and ac- cordingly will not permit match.

RECOMMENDS THAT
 DOCTOR BE HANDICAPPED
Coroner Thinks Surgeon Acted Properly in Defec-
 tive Child Case.

Chicago, Nov. 18.-Complete vindi- cation of pr. Harry J. Haiselden, the surgeon who declined to operate on the defective Bollinger baby and thus save its life, will be recommended to the coroner's jury which is to conduct an inquest today.
 The recommendation for vindica- tion will be made by pr. H. G. w. Rein hart, chief coroner's physician, who conducted a post mortem on the six day-old infant an hour after it death in the German-American Hospital last night. Coroner Hoffman had indicat- ed that unless the post mortem proved the child a mental defective, DrI Haiselden might be tried for criminal negligence.
 My examination shows that the probabilities are strong that the child would have been mental defective" !" Dr. Reinhart said today. Tt would have been a paralytic all it's life. My own opinion is that Dr. Haiselden was right in not allowing the baby to live"
 Mrs Anna Bollinger mother of the infant, was told of the death.
 She made no comment save to re- peat that denial of the simple opera ton which would have saved the baby's life was best for all concerned.
 Dr. H. J. Haiselden, the surgeon who took the initiative in advising Mrs. Bollinger, in all probability, will I ot be prosecuted. Coroner Hoffman said that if pr. Reinhardt, coroner's physician, reported that pr. Haisel- den acted according to the most en- frightened dictates of conscience and science, a burial permit would be issued after the inquest and the in- cident closed. pr. Reinhardt said he so reported to the coroner
 pr. Haiselden, who had been almost without sleep during the forty-eight hours preceding the infants death, was busy in the operating room of the German American hospital today.
 From every corner of the United States telegrams came to pr. Haisel- den today expressing the thoughts of physicians, social workers, promi- nent women and men on the case. The surgeon is a bachelor. He has two adopted daughters. One was abandoned by her mother at the hos pital; the other is a New York or phan.
