GIRL IS STOLEN
FIRST HUSBAND WREAKS RE
VENGE ON WOMAN WHO
LEFT HIM.
A mother's heart, for 31 years long
ing for a lost daughter was almost
overwhelmed with joy last Sunday
when an automobile drove up to the
home of Mrs. R. H. Ohlegschlager of
this city. For sitting in-the front
seat of 'the automobile, Mrs. Ohleg
schlager recognized her lost daugh
ter, last seen by her 31 years ago
in Denver Colo.
The story, as told by Mrs. Ohleg
schlager rivals in Its pathos many
of the modern work. of fiction.
Thirty-one years ago, Mrs. Ohleg
schlager lived in Denver. She was
then Mrs. J. Mathwig. This marriage
was unhappy, and she finally left
her husband, going to work. During
the day, while working, she would
leave -her two children, an infant
son and a slightly cider daughter,
in the care of another woman.
The husband, in a spirit of re
venge, one day stole the children
-while the mother was at work, plac
ing them in the care of a boys' and
girls' aid society.
The baby boy, being very young,
wa-return?dyW the mother, for-care,
but the Bociety gave the girl to a
family for adoption. Although she
pleaded many times with the super
intendent of the institution to tell
her the name ot the family that had
adopted her baby daughter, this in
formation was always refused her.
'Never quite giving up hope, Mrs.
Mathwig searched the long years tor
bar daughter, running advertise
ments in papers, writing letters and
trying in every conceivable manner
to find some trace- of her baby girl.
Her husband dying, Mrs. Mathwig
married R. L. Ohlegschlager and
came to The Dalles to live. The' baby
boy, Harry Mathwig, grew into man
hood and other sons and daughters
came to receive the mother's love.

WASHINGTON, April 21. The for
eign relations committee today took
up , Senator Knox' resolution to re
store a technical peace between the
United States and the ceatrpl Euro
pean powers.
When the committee met there win
no indication of any hitch in tha ad
ministration program, which contem
plated an early repert on the resolu
tion and its adoption "by the senate
after a short debate, probably next
week. The probable attitude of the
democrats, however, had not been
made clear when the committee met.
The resolution as it now stands re
peals the war declaration against Ger
'many of April 6, 1917, and the dec
laration against Austria.
It then provides for safeguarding
American rights by withholding a set
tlement with Germany of the alien
property now held by this government
until Germany has ratified a treaty
of peace with the United States and
has made arrangements for liqulda
ing all American claims against Ger
man nationals. This involves the set
tlement of all American claims for
losses of ships through the U-boat
warfare; loss of cargoes; loss of
lives and every other loss sustained
by Americans as individuals, firms or
corporations.
The resolution also reserves to me
United States all the rights it would
"have had under the treaty of Ver
sailles had the senate ratified it.

MATTER OF ANTELOPE CONNECT

LY STATED!
With nearly enough signatures al
ready placed on petitions asking the-
county court to call a special elec
tion for the passage or rejection of
Wasco county's $800,000 road bond is
sue, County Judge Adkisson 'today
discovered that the petitions were in
correctly drawn up and as a conso
quence illegal. .A total of -730 signa
tures of registered voters is required
by state law before the county court
can call a special election.
No attempt will be made to hold a,
special ejection, now, according to
Judge Adklsnon, who explained that
new petitions will bo drawn up, this
time legal in every detail, and the
issue placed boforo tho voters at tne
Btato- wide special election, to be hold
Juno 7.
The original petitions were drawn
up by the stale highway commission's
owi attorney, It is pointed oiit. In the
agreement entered into botween the
Wasco county court and the highway
commission, a lateral highway con
necting Antelope with the main high
way was agreed upon, Wasco countv
to bear the entire cost of constructing
this road.
In drawing up tho petition, how
ever, the highway commission's at
torney stipulated that' the Antelope
connecting road was to be built on
the same 50-50 basis as Tho Dalles
California highway.
That tho bond issuo will carry by

ion of many local business men who
circulated tho illegal petition In tm
city and county. Most all voters are
in favor oi the measure, not more
thun five percent of those asked to
sign the petitions refusing to do so,
it is set forth.
