rounding the death of two young &C
tresses, whose bodies were found in
Grant park, a short distance from the
Art institute yesterday, was deepened
today when the one slender clue to
the identity of the man who notified
police where the bodies could be
found was lost
Telephone company employees who
traced the call to the office of an in

scene. today discovered they had made
a mistake and that the message was
sent from pay station booth in a
Michigan avenue hotel a block from
the Art institute.
Caused by "Knock- Out Drops"
Police are working on the theory
that the girls, Marie Alma Ramey and
Lillian Thompson, were attacked by
the men with whom they had gone
on a joy ride, and left lying uncon-
scious probably from the effects of
knockout drops in the park, where
they succumbed. either from a over

Few Marks Found.
I The two bodies were found early
yesterday by police in Grant park, on
the lake front. Both had been bruised
and cut on the face and hands as tho
from being dragged over the ground.
There were no other marks.
The women. Unidentified as Eastern
actresses, are Mary Rhodes of Altoona,
Pa, and Lillian Thompson, Boston.
Two men, Robert Mccarthy of Bos-
ton, and James Meeks of Salt Lake,
made the Identification Both are
electricians with theatrical company
here and were living at the same hotel
where the dead women stopped.
According to Meeks and Mccarthy,
the two girls disappeared Saturday.
One theory advanced was that they
had gone on cabaret tour, been
drugged and then taken to the lake
front and thrown from an automobile.
The bodies were discovered thru a
telephone call which the police traced
to an office in a downtown skyscraper.
No one was found, however, who ad-
mitted knowing of the call.

nine million tons"
The big clamor, Mr.. Kendall said,
Is for coal. Commercial stocks have
been depleted, and with the railroad
surplus exhausted the roads had to
confiscate it. Now they are trying to
fill the gaps.
Demand for cars for grain from
the Northwest and for refrigerator
cars for California and the southeast
territory came next, he said, and
added to this was the ever-present
difficulty Of moving back the emp.
ties.
All reports show that the tie-up
was forced to a head by the recent
railroad strike, not yet ended, ac-
cording to railroad officials. At the
time of. the characterized" walkout
of trainmen and switchmen the roads
were literally swamped with bust

MIDDLE OF MAY SEES A TIE-UP
In Shipping Circles, Though Officials
Say Conditions Improving.

Washington, May 13.-Congestion
of freight in the principal railroad
! terminals, probably the worst since
the hard winter Of 1917, is begin
ming to be felt in business and COM
merce all over the country.
Appeals for relief pouring into
Washington to the interstate COM
merce commission, the railroad ad-
ministration and to Congress indi-
cate that the big railway pathways
are choked with thousands of loaded
freight cars unable to move because
Of the shortage Of men and motive
power.
Although the situation has been
showing local effects for the last
two weeks, 1t now is being shown in
its, nationwide aspects, and the ap-
peals for relief coming to Washing
ton contain predictions that, unless
the jam is broken, 1t will be reflected
more than ever in decreased produc-
ton, slowing down of industry and
probably a tremendous labor turn
