Baby Boy, Adopted
BY the Marshalls.
Dies at Capital
Child Taken Into Home Of
Nice-President When Ten
Months Succtlmbs After
an Attack Of Acidosis

ASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Morrison
Marshall, three -year-old adopted son
OF Vice President and Mrs. Thomas
Marshall, died here early to-day after
short illness. Acidosis was the cans.
of death.
Morrison had been in the Vice .Pres
dents family since June, 1917. although
he never had been legally adopted
Mrs. Marshall had seen him in local
diet kitchen, where his mother. who
worked MS a chambermaid, left him to
be cared for. He was only ten months
old at that time. The Marshalls had
no children of their own and they be-
came so attached to Morrison that on
one of his frequent visits to their apart-
ments they obtained the consent OF his
mother to make him member of their
family.
While little Morrison had been Ill for
some time. his condition was not
thought alarming until Monday. At
that time he took a sudden turn for
the worse and the Vice President and
Mrs Marshall, who were in New York
at the time, we're notified by telegraph.
Mrs. Marshall at once FASTENED to
Washington. Vice President Marshall
returned Wednesday. and several spe
cialists from Johns Hopkins University
were in attendance. Morrison's mother
was sent for and she remained at his
side until he died
From the time the boys mother con-
sented to permit her son to live with
the Marshals she was treated with
every consideration by them. They
saw that she procured employment at
the hotel in which they lived so she
might be near her son. In his new en-
vironment Morrison, who had been
chrlstened Clarence Ignatius Morrison
by his mother. developed into one of
the most handsome babies in the ma
ticnal capital. A special kitchenette
was Installed in the Marshall home and
4 trained nurse was placed in charge
OF the youngsters diet
Morrison and his "adopted" parents
were inseparable. Whenever the Vice
President and Mrs. Marshall were seen
in the day time Morrison was always
with them. Scarcely an official photo
graph OF the Marshall family has been
taken during the last two years in which
Morrison has not had prominent
place Frequently the Vice -Presiden
was accompanied to his office at the
Capitol by Morrison and his nurse and
during lull in his official duties the
Vice President would rterc to the
Capitol lawn and romp with the boy
until the Senate reconvened In this
manner Morrison soon became q
celebrity" in Washington. Tourists

you gotta hand it to the high
brows.' remarked Gegan as he start
ed the parcel on its way "This bird
hasn't even seen the inside of this
package. and he knows more about it
than l do now
DR.. Chandler received the parcel in
the mail last week. II was small,
cylindrical and sealed with wax. and
me faint gurele of fluid could be
heard when II was moved. The bomb
squad could make nothing of it even
when It had been opened cautiously
and found to contain two glass tubes,
one filed with brownish liquid and
one with a colorless liquid.
A representative of the Bureau of
Mines was summoned from Washing-
ton. The best advice he could offer
was to keep away from it, and If 1t did
Aot explode in d ew months it probably
was harmless. Then DR.. Chandler got
a letter from a friend describing an
inhaler he had sent and the mystery
vas solved. DR.. Chandler was head of
the chemistry department at Columbia
University for forty-sX years.

PARIS. Feb. 26.-The cross-examina-

did not bring out any new features

dealt with the Treaty of Algericas,

necessary TO throw light on NJ. Gail

After the direct examination by NJ.
Bourgeois had concluded. NJ. Bourgeois
invited the Senators to address such

FRENCH TO ASSIST
U. S. GRAVE VISITORS.


Paris-Arrangements are being rap
idly perfected in Paris for assisting
Americans who will come to France
this year to visit the graves OF their
soldier dead in the battle field GENE
teries. For six months, the American
Red Cross has been conducting a cen
trail information bureau here where
are handled all inquiries from war
grave visitors and these are assist !
in arranging their itineraries to the
cemeteries in the devastated region.
The success of the information bu-
reau has been such that the French
government proposes to supplement
it by the establishment of a central
office which will provide hotel rooms
and railway tickets. The central Of
fee will have branch in every rail-
road station, and English-speaking
clerks will be on duty to inform
strangers arriving in the city as to
where they can find the rooms and
accommodations they require.
Several schemes are on foot in Paris
for the erection of large new hotels,
and at least one of these will be OPP
Grated on American plans, with an
American staff. A British syndicate
is also arranging to erect an all
British hotel of 1000 rooms, the larg-
est hotel in France

GERMANY'S FOOD
SITUATION WORSE.

Berlin-The German situation is go
ing from bad to worse The authori-
ties, who do not know where to find
food to tide the country over the two
months before harvest, already admit
the situation will be even worse next
year. Owing to the low acreage of
wheat and rye planted last fall they
have issued a call to plant potatoes"
which must furnish the principal
nourishment of the people in the COM
ing year.
The council of state has issued an
edict fixing the price for potatoes of
the 1920 crop at 500 marks a ton
tabout So busheD and as further
encouragement the farmers are prom
Used revision upward if the cost of
labor, etc, increases.
The minimum prices of wheat and
rye will be about 81 a bushel at the
old rate Of exchange, but as most Ger
man grain is fall sown it is too late
to affect grain prospects materially.
Under the circumstances Germany
must again count upon heavy imports
during the coming year. Germany
has not turned the corner on food
production, and this years crops, ow-
ing to inability to supply the neces-
sary fertilizers, will be poorer than
the poorest war year, according to es-
Inmates.

INDIAN RACE is NOT
DYING OUT-EXPERT

ngton-Despite popular de-
lief that the civilization forced upon
him by the white man means his Ill
innate extinction, the North Ameri-
can Indian, reyiving from a long per-
iod of decadence, has shown such
substantial increase in population in
recent years that he probably is
scarcely less numerous today than
when Columbus discovered America.
Startling as this assertion may be
to those who have pictured American
forests in the discoveries time as
swarming with red men, it is freely
advanced by experts of the govern
ments Indian bureau, who main
tain that the Indian necessarily form
ed an exceedingly scant population
that probably at no period materially
exceeded the total of 1873 ,702 Indians
reported by the bureau for last year.
THE Indian is no longer to be
thought of as dying race, declar-
ed DR.. Lawrence W. White, an IN
dian authority of the bureau. In
support of that statement it is ne
cessary. in the first place, to dis
abuse the public mind of the tradi-
ton handed down by discoveries and
early colonists that American forests
in their day swarmed with the dusky
figure of the red man.
"As the Indian neglected agricul-
ture almost completely, it is highly
improbable that this country, consid-
ering its latitude, could have support
ed more than several hundred thOus-
ands of his race"
On the other hand, DR.. White con-
tinued, the Indian i'll the present day.
after periods of sharp decrease fol-
lowing as a natural reaction to sud
den contact with the civilization of
the white man, is seen to be making
substantial gains in population.

LOSE IDENTITY IN
UNITED STATES CENSUS.

Observation-Disclosures mean nothing
at all in the job of counting noses in
the United States for the 1920 census.
You have a name when you come
into the big barn-like building here
where 1000 clerks are tabulating you
and about 100000 like you.
Very soon, though, you become
nothing but a card with a lot of holes
punched in it. You have sex, age,
nationality and a lot Of other things,
but no name.
Just Like Wilson's.
Your card is just as important, yet
as anonymous, as the presidents. In
the census bureau the president isn't
Woodrow Wilson He is merely a
white man, born in America, living
in Washington, head of family, En-
disappearing and able to read and
write.
Neither kings horses nor kings
men could drag your name out of the
census bureau. Draft officials in 1917
tried it and failed The census bu-
reau gave Gen. Crowder lots of infOr-
nation about the number of men be-
tween certain ages living in certain
areas.
Sheets Are Destroyed.
But when the Stacker drive was on
and Gen Crowder, with the whole

get names to check up against enlist
ments and draftees the census bureau
called his attention to the law
It's not only against the law to
give out such information, but emu
