WOMAN BATTLES
KNOXVILLE POLICE
fRv Associated Press.l

Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. "a woman
apparently intoxicated, and having a
child in her possession, who took a
taXicab at a local passenger station on
Tuesday night, and who was driven
TO local hostelry, s now thought by
local police to be a rpssble clue in con-
nection with the unknown child found
in the court house square at Norris
town, near here early yesterdal morn
ing.
According to the local chief of de-
tives the woman called the police
station and inquired as to the where
abouts of her child, saying the boy was
missing. The police however, made
no official record of the case at the
time as a formal complaint was not
registered by the woman. Today they
are searching for the woman and also
the taxicab driver, IN the hope of de-
Veloping further evidence. Apart
from this Incident, the detectives state
there has been no development as to
the possible identity of the child. The
suggestion that the boy may be Billie
Coughlin, kidnapped from Norristown,
Pa. few months ago, is not given
serious consideration by the officers
either here or in NOrristown, ACCORD
ing to reports today. The child is
thought to have been abandoned by a
passing automobile party which ap-
preached Norristowh from the direc-
ton of Knoxville. He has blue eyes,
brown curly bobbea hair, which APP
peared to have been trimmed recently.
The clothing worn by the child was
immaculate, and evidenced that he
has been we'll cared for. The child
speaks few words but of course can
not talk coherently.

AS long as open garbage cans are

reports regularly. These reports can

ment will quarantine this port unless
conditions are improved"
Many complaints are being re-
ceived concerning the garbage dump
the doctor said, land it is a nuisance
he added. He stated that the disposal
plant is only a makeshift affair and
that the incinerators are entirely in

of garbage. People are inquiring as to

about 10000 rats have been caught
or killed during the campaign said
DR.. Spencer, land of this number 81

of human plague have been known in
Pensacola, and of this number seven
have died In Beaumont 40 plague
infected rats have been captured and
there only IL cases of human plague
have been reported. This compari-
son." he continued, shows that more
Pensacola people have plague to the
number of infected rats caught, and
for this reason the elimination of rats
is more necessary than in Beaumont.

said DR.. Spencer, and much has been
done with rat-proofing by some citi-
zens, while others have done nothing.
The people have been warned ana
taught how to guard against the
spread of the disease. If another case
of human plague ocurs in this city
someone who is fighting the ordin-
ances or refusing to rat-proof is re-
sponsible for it. The rats must go be-
fore the plague is stamped out, and
the quicker the authorities decide to
Enforce their ordinances just that much
sooner will the city be given a clean
bill of health by the federal govern
ment. But if the city does not en-
force its ordinances then the federal
government will be compelled to quar-
antine it and stop all freight ship
ments."

poses. you should be able to reduce
the time that the average freight car

thus add 100000 cars to the available

THE average freight car makes 20
round trips each year. BY reducing
the time needed for each trip Is per
cent, you will enable the car to make
% round trips each year. This is
equivalent to adding Is per cent of

able car supply.

Rome, Sept. 9.-Apore than 800 per-
sons persisted in the earthquake dis
aster which shattered cities and vii
lagos north of Florence on Tuesday
morning. Governmental and private
relief agencies are engaged in the
work Of aiding the survivors and
searching the ruins for any victims
who may still be alive.
New shocks, but none of them of the
intensity of the one which caused the
widespread destruction early Tues
day, have been felt in Florence and in
the neighborhood of that city.
The upheaval was especially ter
rife in the famous quarry district Of
Carrara. Great rocks dislodged by the
shock rolled down steep roads leading
up into the hills, crushing everything
in the path.

pers of freight, receivers of freight and
railroad employees.
You as shippers and receivers OF
freight can take a very important
part in this movement. You can add
$4,000 freight GAYS to the available
car supply by loading your cars more
heavily and loading and unloading
them promptly. If the railroads were
obliged to buy $4,000 new cars at the
present price of about $4,000 per car.
it would cost them $1,605, 900 900 and
would cost the public at least per
cent of that amount in the form of
increased freight rates.
The average freight car spends
it's time as follows: 81 per cent of the
time in the hands of the shipper or the
receiver; AZ per cent moving from the
point of loading or unloading to the
terminal where it is put into a train
or onto a transfer track; IL per cent
in train moving from one terminal
to another; and per cent laid up for
repairs You as shippers and receiy-
ers of freight, can effect a substan-
tial reduction in the 81 per cent; and
the railroads can effect an equally
substantial reduction in the 43 per
cent.
You can load and unload your cars
promptly If you will. AS a rule the
railroads allow you As hours free time
70 load your cars and 4s hours to I'M
load them before making any charge
for demurrage. If you win use only
one-half of this time, thus releasing
your cars in one day instead of two,
