DEEMS THINKS
He HAS A Clue
Identity Of "Grace Morton"
May Be Established
KNEW BELLE MORTON
Was Employed At Children's Home
Not Long Ago And Mothers
Name Was Jones; A
Coincidence?

Has Grace Morton been identified? I?
Harry DEEMS, superintendent of the
Knox county Children's Home, went
to the mayors office Tuesday morning
and said that young woman about
% years old had been employed at
the home until the end of January.
Her name she gave as Belle Morton.
Her mothers maiden name was
known to be Jones. 1t was this latter
bit of information that made DEEMS
curious as to whether or not the
Grace Morton that died recently in
Chicago was also Belle Morton.
The letter that was received by
Chief Parker did not state the wo-
mans age or how long she had been
in Chicago, 1t simply stated that she
had died and had come. to Chicago
from Detroit, Mich
Supt. DEEMS said that there was
Warren Morton who might be con-
nected with Grace Morton, but he did
not know whether or not he lived here
yet.
The superintendent said that he
might try to establish the dead wo-
mans identity just out of curiosity,
chiefly to determine whether the
Grace Morton who died in Chicago
was Belle Morton who had been en-
ployed at the Children's Home.

FEDERAL CONTROL
TO BE LAST RESORT
Pooling of Eastern Roads to
Be Given Trial.

Washington. Nov. 27.-The railroad
problem was discussed at length at
today's cabinet meeting. Afterward it
was said that government operation
of railroads during the war will be at
tempted only ii it becomes certain the
roads themselves are unable to deal
with difficulties that confront them.
The belief among administration Of
ficials Is that the pooling plan about
to be inaugurated by the roads should
be given a thorough tryout and that If
it fails the government then should
take a hand. There is no conceal
ment. however. Of some doubt that any
pooling plan will work as well as 1t
might so long as each road is com
PEELED to concern itself with it's indt
vidual profits.
Since congestion and coal distribu-
ton are linked so closely. officials are
watching a movement toward the pool
ing OF coal shipments in the middle
west. If the plan works well it will
be extended with government encour-
agement to other districts. Govern
mcnt requisitioning OF coal and Il gen.
eral government coal pool are con-
sidered likely next year.
