CHICAGO, November 22-The iden-
tity of the 19-year-old girl suffering
lapse of memory at the county
hospital came nearer to becoming es-
tablished yesterday than at any pre-
vious time. when a man called the
hospital and said his were the initials
appearing in a note book carried by
the girl when she was found uncon-
scious in the Union Station a few
days ago.
The man withheld his identity, but
said his het name was Edward and
the girls Erst name was Ethel. The
initials were E. II. s.
When a nurse called her Ethel, the
girl responded as If to answer, but
set her lips tightly and was silent.
The girls subconscious mind was
said by hospital attendants to be re-
sponsible for an unknown fear that
is controlling her consciousness and
keeping her from disclosing her
name. The doctors are seeking to
deaden her consciousness in order to
allow them. to hear directly from the
sub-sconscious influences, and were
prepared to administer ether to ac-
complish this end If their present
methods fail. The patients physical
