PHOTO IS BAKER
BOY CLUE

Mrs. Calvin Coolidge may be in
strumentaT in the finding of Albert
Baker. the 9-year-old boy Of F'reder.
icksburg, Va. who mysteriousIy.
disappeared from his home on Feb
ruary %.
Standing not more than three feet
from Mrs. Coolidge and next to a
member of the White House Secret
Service force. at the Easter egg roll
ing in the White House grounds,
little Albert was snapped by a news
photographer.
The picture subsequently, was
published by a newspaper ard later
brought to the attention Of a. o.
Baker. his father.
Today The Washington Times re-
ceived a letter from the father In
closing a photograph clipped from
newspaper showing Mrs. Coolidge
holding "Rebecca." the White House
lraccoon on a chain and surrounded
by q merry throng OF youngsters.
The letter read:
II am inclosing you a picture
from a newspaper. The boy marked
on same is very much like my boy.
If you can locate this boy I would
be deeply gratified. Also. 1 want
to thank The Washington Times for
the interest 1t has taken in the
case"
This is the first tangible clue to
the mystery surrounding the lads
disappearance since the day he van
ished within sight of his playmate,
almost in front of his home, and in
broad daylight.
False clues have taken the father
to various cities where boys an
swering the description of Albert
have been seen.
Mrs Bakers fortitude and stead
fast refusal to believe that her son
Is dead has been the inspiration
back of the search.
Upon this clue Mrs. Baker and
the father hope to locate their son.
A reward awaits anyone with infor.
nation leading to his recovery.

M'CARI REFUSES FUND.
FOR ASYLUM PATIENTS.
SITUATION now
|. HELD CRITICAL

Two thousand INDECENT insane
patients at st. Elizabeth's Hospital
must be turned out on the streets
OF the National Capital unless pri-
vate funds can be raised for their
support.
Comptroller General j. r. McCarl
today notified the District Commits
sioners that there Is no legal means
of providing the $3.50, 900 necessary
to care for these patients until
July J.. when the regular appropria-
ton for the purpose becomes avail
able.
The situation confronting the
Commissioners and hospital officials
Is regarded very serious.
DR.. William A. White, guperin-
tendent Of the hospital has cam
vassed local merchants to find
provide food and clothing on credit
nearl va year for remuneration.
In turning down the request, the
Comptroller General said:
There IL presented here a sit
uation similar to that presented to
this office because Of the deficiency
In the appropriation for board and
care of children committed TO the
guardianship OF the Board of Pub.
lie Welfare, District Of Columbia,
relative to which It was suggested
that an advance on requisition from
the appropriation for 1928 might be
authorized.
"But in decision of April ., 1927,
It was concluded that under the
Constitution of the United States
and subsequent statutory provisions,
such an advance was prohibited.
For the reasons therein stated the
same conclusion must Of necessity
be reached in the present case.
The question submitted must be and
Is answered in the negative"
The turning out of wards Of the
Board Of Public Welfare was pre-
vented by the raising Of $4,000 by
private citizens.

PENDANTS employed, is but short

age by two milkmen, who took him
to Emergency Hospital. He was
unconscious when found, but was
muttering, Something's wrong with
the steering wheel; stop It, stop It,
we're going to hit"
He did not regain consciousness
until nearly three hours after the
accident.
! Preliminary examination showed
he was badly bruised about he
head and face, but that no bones
were broken and unless internal
injuries were sustained he will
recover.
Mondell's first thought on gain
ing consciousness was OF his mother
who is seriously Ill at her home.
Don't tell mother" he whis-
pered to the physicians. '.Shs is
not well and it would upset her."
Mr.. Mondell was notified and
visited the hospital soon after his
son was admitted.
1.-THE boy was conscious before
left and seemed to be cheerful"
Mr.. Mondell said. He Is In con.
siderable pain and Il has been
necessary to strap him to his bed
to keep him from writing and
twisting.
He said nothing to me about
how the accident occurred and l
did not think he was well enough
to be questioned. He had been out
visiting friends Iast night and was
on his way home when the accident
occurred"
The milkmen who discovered the
young man are William H. Fletcher,
lib G st. s. E., and David H.
McGaha, 1859 X st. s. E., employed
by the Walker Hill Dairy.
They stopped street car and the
street car crew helped them right
Mondell's car, which had turned
over on its side, before they could
extricate him.
He was unconscious, but kept
muttering incoherently. When we
got him to the hospital he was
placed on a stretcher and while he
was still unconscious evidently suf-
fered paroxysm of pain and leaped
Off the stretcher."
