to watch him play, Samuel Rzeschewski,
the twelve-year-old chess marvel, was
arrested last night at Hunts Point
College, the Bronx, on q warrant issued
by the Society for the Prevention OF

until to-day, wae,i nc will be arraigned
before Judga Safarel Levy.
Chief Officer Phillip LoweTthal and
an assistant were besieged cy tfiase
present and escaped to their waiting
automobile with difficulty. The chesa
marvel was dragged by the arm and
finally raised on Lowenthal's shoulders
and bcisted bodily into the machine.
Rzeschewski made his appearance al
11:15 o'clock, when he sang three
songs. Directly after, he played Ave
chess games simultaneously, defeating
all his opponents. Lowenthal, armed
with a warrant issued by Judge Levy
on the formers complaint. invaded the
hall at this point and made the arrest.
The boys father went 70 the Bronx
