Maurice. But we met another man

Immediately after her arrival at home,
her father took Ruth to a physician
for examinations, where II was found
that she had not been criminally as
saulted. An attempt was made today
TO find the handkerchief that was tied
about the child's mouth. but 1t was
impossible for the children to locate
the exact spot.
Boy United Her Hands.
Maurice. after yelling to frighten away
the man with the white mustache. un-
tied Ruths hands and took charge OF
the homeward journey.
Ruth had returned from her class
room at the Raymond School at about
l O'Clock yesterday, and It is believed
that the man met the children at
about 100 o'clock. Mrs. Pruss was at
the Children's Hospital. where her
four-year- son is critically Ill. The
father was absent on business.
Police of the third precinct and De-
tective Sergts. Thompson and EN-
brey are conducting an investigation.
A thorough search Is being made for
the man today throughout the city
and each policeman has received the
description given by the children.
A singular point is the consistency
with which they stick to the state
ment that the man was wearing a
straw hat. Both Ruth and Maurice
several times reiterated this. Ruth
apparently is none the worse for the
adventure with the exception of
bruises on her face and marks Of the
belt on her wrists.

Nebraska, submitting to the states
Tor ratification a proposed amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States advancing the Inauguration of
the President and the assembling OF

Immediately following their election.
Strong Favor fin House.
House leaders have been sounding
the sentiment in that body and report
they find the proposition sent over by
the Senate has been received with
pronounced favor. The belief obtains
that on one of the closing days of the
session, when motions to suspend the
rules are in order, motion will be
made under the rule to pass the reso-
luton. This will require a two-thirds
vote.
The understanding is that President
Harding will not interpose resistance
to the effort to enact the legislation,
although he is personally not in favor
OF 1t. Upon more than one occasion
he has voiced the opinion that the
fathers were wise in providing for the
iLterregnum between the election OF
the Congress and its assembling. In
