ther expects to be holding a posi-
tion AZ minister or consul general
to some foreign country before very
long, and he would hardly give up

Mr.. Browne said: "virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia and
other Southern States have been
honored by appointments Of this
character by President Wilson, and
I cannot SEQ why Florida should be
ignored. When Florida had two
less congressman than she has now
our delegation In Congress secured
two ministers positions for Flori-

PROVES NERVE BY
....: 2OO-FO0T PLUNGE

New York. June 24-An extensively
dressed young man, with a flowing red
crepe tie, low tan shoes and silk shirt,
climbed onto the railing In the middle
of Washington bridge Saturday after
noon and leaped 200 feet down into the
Harlem river Many others have leapad
from the bridge, but he Is the only n
who did 1T and survived.
He was John Bruins, 81 years old, an
architect, who lives with his mother
at number TIT Ellsmere place. the
Bronx He insisted that ne a NO
intention, of killing himself and did Ii
solely to convince haunting friends that
he possessed nerve.
II have several men friends who have
teased me about not having enough
nerve to ask a girl to marry me-" SAID
Bruins. He is a mild hammered, modest
young man of apparent refinement and
possessing a sensitive disposition. 81
did not wish to marry, and that was
why never asked a girl to be my wife.
But my friends tainted me about what
they called my ~bashfulness and lack
of nerve. T.
For a long time I tried to think Of
something to do hat would convince
them tina | hard all the nerve neces-
sary. l pondered over jumping from a
bridge and naturally went down to the
Brooklyn bridge first, hut there I found
the place too we'll guarded by police
men. So l looked up some statistics
and found that Washington bridge had
the highest arch. ~N
