and other sweet things that his newly-

made friends have given him. Congressman Martin B. Madden has signi

fied his willingness to adopt "Buster," but If no one appeals to claim the child

he will be turned over to the mercies

of the juvenile court.

The latest theory that has been ad

vanced is that gypsies stole the child from some residence on the south side and, fearing pursuit by the police, abandoned the baby In Chicago. Dur

ing the last three weeks four gypsy

caravans have passed through South

Chicago and the police believe that

they may have been connected with

the case.

Says He Lives ot South Side. "Buster" says he lives on South Park

aven'ue and has a little baby sister whose mamma is his mamma. The

police believe this to be purely the lit

tle child's imagination. Chief Shippy took "Buster" from the beginning to the end of South Park avenue, but he failed to see his "big white house" where he says he lives. While In a reminiscent mood yesterday "Buster" said that he was lost while his papa and mamma were carrying chairs. This, according to the police, bears out the theory that the father and mother were either moving or had broken up housekeeping. "Whether or not the house to house canvass through the local district will result In finding the lost child's parents remains to be seen. "Anyway, no harm is done," said Captain Halpin, "and if we do find anything that leads to the young boy's identity, it will mean a big feather in our cap as well as the officer who succeeds in getting the much desired information.

In the neighborhood of one hundred

complains have been made at the sta

tion during the last two weeks and drastic measures will be taken to stop

speeding, according to Capt. Halpin.
