CHICAGO, Dec. 25.—Henri de la
Motte; scion of the nobility of France
and long missing heir to what is be-
lieved to be a large fortune, came into
at least part of his own yesterday I
when he was united with his daughter,
Mrs. Harriet H. Scott of Albany, N. T.,
and today is spending Christmas with
his wife and family at Greenbay,
Wis.
The old man, for years a street
peddler here, saw his daughter for
the first time in twenty-seven years
yesterday and after a joyful but tear-
ful greeting at the depot was hurried
to a large department, store where
he exchanged an old suit of clothes,
two shirts, four pairs of socks and a
sweater for a brand new outfit that
made him look his true part, that of
a French nobleman.
Mrs. Scott, widow of Judge Robert
Scott of Albany, had searched fruit-
lessly for years for her father, and it
was about this time last year that
she saw a picture of him in the line
of Chicago peddlers waiting for their
license to cry their wares to the
Christmas trade on the street corners.
She hurried to Chicago but could find
no trace of him. Then came the year’s
wait and when the holiday season
rolled around again De La Motte
again made application for his license.
It was then that he was informed of
the search that had been made for
him.
When told that a large fortune
probably awaited him in France, he
looked up from his bed in the cathe-
dral shelter mission and said:
“Son. I would rather have >3 in
cash than that prospective fortune."
It was not long, however, before his
well-to-do daughter arrived on the
scene and he realized his immediate
ambition and those familiar with the
case insist that he blds fair to realize
the fortune in the no distant future.

Police officers Stubbs and Von
Rosenberg this morning made a raid
on a place at 1000 Sabine Street and
arrested four negroes for raising a dis-
turbance there. Two men and two
women were brought to the police
station despite their protests that they
“were doing nothing when the laws
came and got us." *
A search of the prisoners thebe re-
sulted in the officers finding two
bottles of denatured alcohl on one of
the captives which was the contribut-
ing factor to the hilarity.
One of the officers smilingly re-
marked that “all persons arrested on
Christmas Day are going to be locked
up until next year.” This brought a
wall from one of the women that “I
