POLICE DRAG POTOMAC FOR MISSING NEGRO Man Believed to Have Drowned After Leap From High- way Bridge. Police of the eleventh precinct yes- terday began dragging the Potomac River for the body of a negro who on Sunday night was seen to climb the rail of the Highway Bridge and plunge into the water. He is believed to have been drowned. Lake City— minutes; 19; Reno, minutes The only clue to the identity of the | man is an automobile operator’s pe mit, bearing the name of Anthony Lucas, colored, 30 vears old, of 2117 Eleventh street. The card was found in a pocketbook left in a taxicab which the man had taken to the bridge. Lucas was absent from the Eleventh street address yesterday when police investigated. George Day, driver of the taxicab, witnessed the act. He said he was en. gaged by the passenger on North Capitol street, and that while crossing Highway Bridge the man jumped from the cab and hurled himself from the rail.

THIRTY-FOUR YEARS AT 935 F Street ONDS And Other Precious Stones PLATINUMSMITHS (arShortage Overcome by (o operation The Santale gives this a practical demonstration in 1926. You are mvmd to read this account of an achieve- ment which saved Santale patrons millions of dollars. Five years ago one of the most serious trans- portation problems was the handling of very heavy freight traffic resulting from unusually large production and requiring prompt move- ment to secure favorable markets. Even though the railroads did their best, car shortage and congestion were the natural re- sults of such peak movements. And because of this slowing up everybody suffered. Such losses involved not only large sums of money, but partial paralysis of business. These trans- portation enemies now have been overcome. To illustrate, the Santa Fe in June and July, 1926, had an enormous wheat crop to handle from Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas to the big markets. To provide for prompt handling 12,500 box cars in first-class condition had been distributed on sidetracks in the territory where they would be needed. The demand for cars, however, resulting mainly from the use of “combines”,—which converted wheat standing in the field in the morning into wheat ready for loading in the afternoon,—was largely in excess of what had been anticipated. For fifty days the average wheat loading was 1,050 cars perday, exceedingall previousrecords by 84 per cent, with one single day’s maximum loading of 1,569 cars. This huge crop, notwithstanding the new and rapid method of lnrvening, was moved Sale-- your savings, but you save when you spend in the Half-Yearly Furniture with a negligible car shortage, without con- gestion, and with little or no delay, something never before accomplished under similar car- loading demands. What made such a result possible? Co-oper- ation of everyone interested and the loyal and efficient work of Santa Fe employes. To meet the crisis the Car Service Division of the American Railway Association, with the consent of other railroads, diverted to the Santa Fe every available box car at Chicago regardless of ownership. The Santa Fe also had the most hearty and helpful co-operation of Regional Advisory Boards, Terminal and Port Committees, State Grain Inspection Departments, State Railway Commissions, and the United States Shipping Board. Shippers and receivers of wheat also helped. And there was the whole-hearted support of its own employes. This is a practical and convincing proof that co-operation can meet every transportation demand, eliminate car shortage and conges- tion,and save producers and shippers hundreds of millions of dollars annually. The Santa Fe wishes to express its sincere appreciation of this co-operation and of the efficient and loval service of its employes. W. B. STOREY, President The Atchison.
