United States Cavalry stationed at Fort
Myer climbed over the railing of the
Aqueduct bridge yesterday afternoon. bal
anced himself for moment and dived
into the river below, a distance of ninety
five feet. Hundreds of persons were hor-
rified at what they supposed was an at
tempt at suicide. and it was not until they
saw Koch reappear at the surface OF the
water and swim gracefully to the float
of the Potomac Boat Club that they real
lied the act of an expert swimmer.
Trooper Koch has reputation as a
diver, but many of his companions doubt
ed him when he said recently he could
dive from the Aqueduct bridge. He made
up his mind to prove his assertion and,
after getting permission to swim to the
float of the boat club, and to leave dry
uniform in the house, proceeded with sew

before any Of the passers-by realized what
he was doing, had disappeared into the
water.
After his dive he gave an exhibition of
fancy swimming at the boat club, chang
