Controller Warwick of the Treasury
was called on today to play role like
that of King Solomon in deciding which
of two neighbor women in Indianapolis

lumbus barracks, Ohio. last March and
died a month later at Fort Sam Hous-
ton of cerebro-spinal meningitis.
He had given the name of his mother
as Mrs Effie Davidson. 1433 East 18th
street, Indianapolis. She was notified
of the death, but surprised the military
authorities by proving that her son,
Gilbert Davidson, was living at home
and had never enlisted.
Investigation developed that the dead
youth was Alfred r. Sloan. 1441 East
18th street, indianapolis. enlisted in the
name of the neighbor boy. Mrs. w. r.
Sloan said she was the mother.
Controller Warwick took her word and
directed that six months gratuity pay

ed satisfactorily. There are engineers,
switchmen, leaders, fagmen and
w~eighers; also lubricators and men
who are engaged in more minor things.
This town has an elevation of 5000
feet above the sea level and COM
mands a magnificent view of the sur
rounding Deer Lodge valley. The race
people are thrifty, ambitious, indus
trious and prosperous. The A. NJ. E.
