Insane Man S Death
Reveals Odd Case
Of Mixed Identities
Lawyer Finds Two William II.
McNamaras Had Been in
Same Hospital

An attempt to untangle an odd case
Of mixed identities at the Central lslip
Hospital for the Insane is being made
by Franklin Grier lawyer at 40 Mas
sau Street.
Mr.. Grier received word few days
, ago that William II. Mcnamara died
last Sunday at the Hudson River State
Hospital, at Poughkeepsie. n. Y. Mr..
Mcnamara, it was stated. had been
transferred from the Central lslip Hos
I pital Letters. written By Mr. Grier to
William II. Mcnamara. and indicating
that the lawyer had represented him
in certain proceedings, had been found
in the dead mans possession by the
hospital authorities.
Recalling his former client. Mr..
Grier requested Mrs. William II. Nc
Namara. of 472 West Twenty-fourth
Street, to come to his office. When she
arrived he gently told her of her hus-
bands death. Mrs. Mcnamara was not
a bit agitated over the news. She said
she had buried her husband five years
ago.
Mr.. Grier produced the letters which,
he supposed, had passed between him
and her husband. Mrs. Mcnamara in
sisted that her husband had died on
August 80, 1912. He had died, she SAID,
while she was paying four days visit
to the Central Islip institution. She
had been at his bedside when the emo
came. The body had been brought
back 10 New York and services were
held in a West Side church. Her hus-
band, she said. was buried IN ST.
Michaels Cemetery, Astoria, queens
If there was any further doubt, she
said, she could produce proof that sne
had collected the benefits on two lie
insurance policies which her husband
had carried.
Mrs. Mcnamara sent for Miss Mary
| Mcnamara, her husbands sister. who
came from her home in Amsterdam, y
| Y and corroborated the widows story
| She had been present at the funeral
She had viewed the body. There coulc
be no mistake.

Many Eager to
Aid Hoover In
Food Control
Organization Of Staff Be-
gun by Former Belgian
Relief Head

Washington, May 24.-Ofers 10
serve without compensation IN the ma
tional food administration were re-
ceived in great numbers to-day at the
administration offices, which are in
charge Of Herbert c. Hoover. No
names were made public, but it was
said a surprising number Of prominent
and able business men were among the
volunteers.
Mr.. Hoover, who agreed TO act IS
food administrator on the condition
that he and most OF his aids serve
without pay, soon will select the men
who are 70 work with him. and viii
proceed with tho organization Of the
administration, to be ready TO start
work as soon as Congress passes the
food bills. To-day he went over de-
tails at conference with President
Wilson.
The food administration will be d..
vided into four branches. The first
will comprise a number of separate
executive bodies for regulation Of GER
tain commodities. organized along the
lines of commercial institutions, with
board Of directors. a president and ex-
ecutive officers. who will work out
problems involved in handling the
commodities and who will institute
measures necessary TO regulate dis
tribution and prices. The membership
of the executive bodies will comprise
leading producers, distributors, bankers
and consumers.
The second branch will handle mat
ters of cooperation with the states and
will direct local distribution Of food
stuifs and seek TO prevent illegal pras-
tees.
The third branch will deal with ques.
tons of domestic economy and viii
put before the women Of the country
a plan of organization to conserve
foods within the household. Every
American woman will be asked TO De.
come an actual member OF the food
administration.
The fourth branch will have to do
with food exports and probably VIII
assist in purchasing for the Allies ana
the European neutral countries 10
eliminate competition and to force
down prices. 49,.
To-day Mr.. Hoover received tele'
grams from more than half the state
Governors promising the fullest co,
operation. Some even offered to call
special sessions Of their legislatures 10
take up measures Of aid for the Ad,
ministration. Most OF the states VIII
assist through the food divisions OF
their state defence councils.
The subject of food exports was gone
over bv MIR. Hoover during the day with
Secretary Redfield, who will administer,
provisions of the export control ana
trading with the enemy legislation
asked of Congress. The adminis,ra-
tors conference with President Wilson
lasted more than half an hour, and is
understood to have covered many feat
ures of the subject OF organization and
of the food situation here and abroad.

No Fear of Food
Oversupply, Says
State Commission
LEY rel.srsrh &c Tic Tribune


Albany. Nav 24.-There need be no
fear of overproduction as result OF
the gardening campaign that is going
on throughout the country; the war
will take care of that, the State Food
Supply Commission reported to Cover
nor Whitman to-day.
Some farmers have feared overpro-
duction," the report says. This fear
might be justified were it not for the
conditions in Europe. All of Europe
is approaching the famine state, and
there is no possibility that the farmers
of Europe can give the care necessary
for the production of the best crops
Large quantities of food are being
lost at sea. The worlds reserve oil

The grain Oh farms in the United
States on March 1 was 100000 bush

delivery of seeds, fertilizer and ma
chinery. The decrease Of sheep, hog
and heifer calves, which means the
eventual decrease of dairy cattle, Il
also said to be serious.
The shortage of farm labor, the com,
mission says, provides one OF the mos
difficult problems to solve, although
some relief has been given by the &C
tion of the State Department OF Edu'
cation in releasing boys from the
schools. More than 10000 boys are
