District Commissioner The board yesterday afternoon ap- proved plans for a Nation-wide move- ment to “develop latent home indus- tries” in the smaller cities and towns of the United States, as opposed to the idea of seeking new industries.

JUMPS INTO RIVER 10 ESCAPE POLICE But Cold Water Finally Forces Man Out—Abandoned Car Declared Stolen. Faced with arrest on a charge of | stealing an automobile, James Morgan, | 23 years-old, of Richmend, Va., plunged | 30 feet from Highway Bridge into the Potomac River early this morning. H(‘i was in the water for more than 15 minutes before the cold forced: him into the arms of the waiting police on the shore. Policeman F. McGrath of the fourth precinct, was stationed jear the north end of the Highway Bridge shortly be- fore 2 o'clock this morning when he saw an automobile approaching at what he considered an unsafe speed for the condition of the bridge, which is under repair, Intending to warn the driver to slow down, the policeman held up his hand and the machine swerved into the excavation between the car tracks. As it swerved, McGrath heard a woman scream. Jumps Into River. ‘The driver then jumped from the car, ran to the side of the bridge and plunged overboard. McGrath immediate- ly notified his precinct and the Detec- tive Bureau and then went back to look for the woman he is sure accompanied the man. She was gone. ‘When Detective Oscar Mansfield of the central bureau and Lieut. E. T. Harney of the fourth precinct arrived they turned a search light on the water. All that they could see was an occa- sional disturbance of the water and they concluded that the man was swimming. They ran first to one side of the bridge and then to the other, the dis- turbance in the water going in a differ- ent direction each time. Mansfleld finally took the searchlight to the seawall and turned it out into the water. When he was caught in its glare, Morgan held his nose and waded under the water, hoping to get out of range. Faliling in this, he attempted to swim down the river but the ruthless beam of the searchlight folowed him so he gave that up and again stood on the muddy bottom, his head and shoulders showing in the glare. Threat Has An Effect. Many times the police shouted to him to come out but he disregarded all orders until he was told: “If you don't come out of there, I'm coming in after you.” The bluff, which is admitted by the detective, worked and Morgan came slowly to shore. He was taken to Emergency Hospital, where he was treated for exposure, and then removed to Gallinger Hospital. He will be kept there until the danger of fllness passes. After he had been pulled out of the water it was discovered that the auto- mobile was stolen earlier in the night from Charles A. Marks, 221’B street northeast. Morgan refused to answer any questions after his arrest. FLYERS’ GAS CARGO HELD. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., October 27 (#).—A 14,000-gallon tank car load of gasoline consigned here to Willlam S.

On May 15, 1927, as tha guest of Dr. J. Stanley Durikee, she sat on the same Plymouth Church’ rostrum, where now more than 68 years ago her freedom was pledged by the enthusiastic con- gregation which subscribed $1,100, or $200 more than the purchase price which had been set. A sketch of her remarkable life furnished a dramatic feature of the celebration of the cightieth anniversary of the founding of the church on the occasion men- oned.

Because of her cramped quarters in the big hangar here, with the Los An- geles and the two naval blimps oc- cupying the same quarters, any cross hangar wind makes hazardous the task of walking her out onto the field. As scon as the cancellation of the Midwest journey was announced the task of refueling the Zeppelin was begun. Three refueling crews of 14 men each. working in eight-hour shifts, were put to work pumping 735.000 cubic feet of blau gas and 140,000 cubic feet of hydrogen into her fuel and lift cells. Licut. Comdr. Wicks, U. S. N., esti- mated the Zeppelin would be ready to sail by noon tomorrow.
