$75,000 T0 SAY BABY ARMOUR. Vienna Surgeon Is to Have $1,000 a Day and - His Travelling Expenses to Chicago. TO WAIT FOR RECOVERY The Distinguished Specialist Cables that He Has Started on His 6,000-Mile Trip to Little Heiress’ Sickbed. (Special to The Drentng World.) CHICAGO, Oct. 6—For the second imo In less than two yaers Lolita Ar- mour, the six-year-old daugter of J. Ogden Armour and one of the richest children in the world, will undergo an operation at the hands of a surgeon, de- signed to allow her to walk and run and romp like other little girls. Prof. Adolph Lorenz, the Viennese specialist, who {s now on his way to this country, with an asistant, to perform the operation, will collect close to $100,- ) 000 for his fee and the expenses of the assistant and himself, which makes t! Ancubator Armour baby a most expen- sive child. Lolita. Armour, named after her mother, who was Miss Lolita Sheldon, of Connecticut, was @ mite of a baby when she was born, She weighed but @ little over three pounds, and the eminent physician who assisted at the birth were fearful that she would not live. It was a certainty that #he could not survive unless some means of furnish- ing her with vitality were devised. Extraordinary Care Ipriished o fer. ‘A special incubator, butlt along models approved by the greatest authorities, was constructed for Lolits, She was placed in thie inoubator and remained there for three months in an atmos- phere of perpetual midsummer. Nurses were in attendance every minute of the day and night, and unremitting care esulted In a growth that was most ratifying. After the child was taken from the in- mbator she was cared for by experts i she reached the age when most ba- Mes attempt to walk or creep. It wus ound that Lolita was helpless when left herself. fxamination disclosed that the ball 4 socket hip joint at the head of the igh bone did not rest in the socket ovided for it by nature. ‘This condition prevailed in both hips the Armour baby. An X-ray examin- .fon showed that the hip joints rested @'nst the great bone containing the tty and were almost entirely de- aed fro mthe ligaments and muscles ‘Ich should hold them in place. ‘n Itself this condition was not one to -egarded with great alarm. Surgeons observed frequent cases of the kind, d operations of a @uccessful nature ere in the records, But the little Ar- wr heiress was so weak that it was ,dmed best to try to build up her phy- tue and constitution before attempting right the dislocation that haa been esent since her birth. Three Years tn « Rolling Chair. Yo ttle Lolita spent nearly three ars in a rolling chair, attended with ery regard to her health and strength. or a time it was hoped that absolute est would enable Nature to remedy che mistake she had made, put tnvesti- gation by the X-ray showed that while the child had grown quite strong ana extremely pretty, the malformed condi- tion of the hip-bones had not deen remedied, Dr. John Ridlon, of Chicago, a ro- $75,000 FEE FOR VIENNA SURGEON WHO COMES TO AID LOLITA ARMOUR.

They felt that somewhere there must be 4 man who could make a strong child of their crippled darling. ‘While traveling in Hurope Mr. Armour heard of Prof Lorena, of Vienna, who had the record of performing marvelous cures In cases to that of Lolita by a method known only to himself.

After the operation Prof. Lorenz will be compelled to remain in Chicago at least fifty days before the plaster cast can be removed and he can observe the result of the operation, — DISSENSIONS IN nowned specialist in orthopedics, who had been in charge of the Armour baby from the time the hip-bone deformity was discovered, decided that she was strong enough to undergo an operation, Finally Christmas Day was decided upon for the operation, but the mother would not hear of the plan and de- manded a postponement. Loltta played with her dolls and other Christmas presents until Dec. 28, when all was In readiness for the operation. Dr. Ridlon, with two assistants, went to the Armour home, Lolita was placed under the influence of anaesthetic, the tendons of the lega were stretched and the hip joints were forced into their sockets, Four Months in Plaster. When this had been done the child ‘was placed in a plaster cast that made Movement of the lower limbs impgssi- ble. For four months she remained en- cased in this, When it was removed Dr, Ridlon announced that after a fow months’ tnclosure in a lighter cast the child would be able to walk, ‘The agony of expectancy of the mother emi father as the day approached when ‘the trial was to be made may be tm- egined. Experiments showed that, while the child was in a recumbent position @he was able to move her limbs and there was no apparent deformity from @n examination of the hips. ‘The X-ray machine photographs re- comed that the hip joints were placed ‘where they should be, the muscles and Ugaments were apparently in their proper positions and there was no doubt in the mind of the surgeon that Lolita ‘Armour would be able, after practice, to » 0 something she had never done in her life—etand on her fect and walk. Whe Little Joints Slipped, Disappointment of the keenest nature resulted from the trial, All the pain and anxiety had gone for naught. The little one could not sustain tho weight of her frat body, the hip jointa slipped up fron the sockets and rested against the ‘bore as they had before, and the slender were once more displaced. WS of the fMilure of the operation was pot given out. It had been supposed UNL] a few deys ago that the child was eu the road to recovery, In the mean- time the best specialists in Amerioa had REPUBLICAN RANKS Democrats Hope to Profit by **Col. Abe” Gruber’s Anger Over the ‘“Hogging'y of Candidates. The Democrats of the Seventeenth Congresstonal District are plucking up courage because of the dtssensions among the Republicans in two of tho three Assembly Districts which compose the district—the Twenty-first, where Col. Abe Gruber, the leader, is angry over the “hogging” of both the Con- @ressional and Genatorial candidates away from his district, and in the Thir- ty-first, where Senator Samuel 8, Slater, Hives. Slater was promised the nomination, but was turned down to make room for the candidate of Fred Gibbs. who lives way downtown, but who wanted an ad- vocate on the floor of the House in the interests of his client, the Tobacco ‘Trust. ‘The Republican State platform makes @ great point out of the Employers’ Lia- bility law and the act repealing the charter of the Ramapo robbers, but the author of both these bills and the man to whom oredit is due for their passage, is Gammel S. Slater, and the party has retired Slater to a top shelf which {ts seldom dusted, and the Democrats, who have nominata Francis A. Shober, an energetic newspaper man, to make the run against Andrews, claim that the re- tirement of Slater was done as a punish- ment for putting these two laws on thi statute book.
