talk ceale He intended leaving for
Washington at midnight last night,
but after being informed by his assis-
tants of the acuteness OF the coal
problem, remained for further con
ference5 today. gAss
In his first meeting with regional
directors Hines found their opinions.
re garding the supply of caal available
now for railroads differed consider
ably from his expressed opinion that
nearly asmonth's supply is~on hand.
d. l.. Bush, director for the south
western, region with headquarters at
St Louis, declared the average supply
in his opinion was not more than suf-
ficient to last ten or twelve days.
What steps would be taken was
problematical. The rail heads do not
favor either general embargo on
freight or any other drastic action.
However a general cutting down of all
but the absolutely essential traffic
! was in prospect.
That detailed list Of restrictions
might be made public following this
mornings meeting was intimated by
Hines. A drastic cut in the passenger
service would be included, 1t was be-
lieved.
In a speech before the American
Railway guild. Hines said that when
the railroads are returned to private
owners, probably January /. applica-
ton for higher rates is expected.
Not curtailed for Present.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Transporta-
ton will not be curtailed at present
because of shortage of coal, Rail
Director Walker d. Hines announced
today following conference with
regional railroad directors here.
whether or not there will be any
curtailment Of transportation depends
entirely pn future developments"
Hines said.
Railroads will attempt to meet the
present shortage In some districts by
distribution of large quantities held
in a few places, Hines stated.

police AZ ESQ o'clock Friday night when
word was flashed out over the police
telegraph that baby boy who answered
the description Of DIVA had been found
abandoned in. the Hunters Point avenue
subway station in Queens and that II
had been taken to the Cumberland
Street Hospital in Brooklyn. Mr.. and
Mrs. Koskinen, escorted by detectives,
went there Friday night and, at first,
the husband was certain that the child
was theirs. But the mother looked for
two full minutes into the blinking blue
eyes OF the boy and then turned away.
IT'S not Owa," she said and eyentu-
ally she convinced her husband that she
was right and the couple went homo
without him.
The police redoublod their efforts yes
teriay at finding some trace of the kid
napper and details OF detectives from
other precincts were assigned to aid
Lieut. Enrieht's men. They are espe-
cially ANXIOUS to locate the missing boy
without delay. because they say that a
fortnight hence Mrs Koskinen won't be
able to recognize and identify her own
child.

cause the detectives had so little to
70 on. Remembering the case last win
ter on Lenox avenue where a baby was
taken from a carriage by an Insane
woman, the police are turning to a
similar theory. They figure that a
woman, deranged by drugs. or perhaps
by the loss Of child of her own. might
have seen the Koskinen baby and
whisked him away. In this event, they
believe he will be recovered within a
few days
Not all Of the police last night, how
ever, were convinced that the child
found In the subway station in Queens
had no connection with the case. The
boy abandoned there answered the
description Of owa perfectly except that
he was clothed only in a shirt and had
q blanket wrapped about him. 1t
would have been easy, It Is pointed out,
for some one with an unhealthy baby
to have substituted him for the koskinen
child, and to have left the sick one
on the subway station bench. 1t Is an
odd coincidence, the police say, that a
baby should be lost around $50 and one
greatly resembling him should be found
such a comparatively short distance
away within four hours.
