Bleached Human Skull Found at Zoo
When PlOw UncOvers Grave i'm Slope

A bleached human skull, thigh
bone. and TWO lower jaw bones We're
dug up by a tractor drawn plow ex-
cavating a slope of the Geological Park
grounds just outside the fence facing
south of the west enterance to the Zoo
today.
Policeman l.. A. Tabinski in charge
of the west gate, who was watching
the eXcavating and grading work
was the first to notice the human
bones in the dirt turned up by the
plow. He stopped operations tenn
porarily while further search for re-
mains were made. A number of other
smaller human bones were found.
The bones had evidently been in
cased in a small wooden box and
unconfirmed rumors among work
men We're to the effect that the box
containing them had been placed
there last October when two graves
had been opened by a steam shovel
excavating for a nearby apartment.
Pieces of a wooden box, not like
coffin of any sort. were found with
the bones.
Tabinski communicated with
Smithsonian authorities Immediately
and the discovery was referred to
local police for attention. Orders
were given for the removal of the
bones to the District morSue.
From the appearance OF the top
of the skull which showed a large
bleached section. it was believed that
at some time or other it had been
exposed to the suns rays.

TWO MEN ACHIEVE
+ SUCCESS AFTER 70
Broker "Comes Back" at 73
and BootbIack Rctires
Comfortably Fixed.
By Consolidated Press.

By Consolidated Press.
NEW YORK. June 1.-THE bright
lexicon Of youth always gets
thorough workout in New York City.
and the folks back home never tire
of telling of little Willie's rise to fame
and fortune in the metropolis. The
records of big business enterprises
fairly sparkle with the meteorc trails
of young geniuses who skyrocketed
from office boy to president in few
short years.
But whoever heard of broker or
a bootblack past the age of 20 win
ming success in New York? Perhaps
no one ever did until this week.
The stories of the lives of two old
men. al opposite extremes of the
scale, cropped up strangely out
of the hurry and scurry of New
York's teeming millions. The one told
of a broker who failed at 20 and who
succeeded in coming back" at 70.
The other concerned the career of a
bootblack who had earned enough at
20 to retire to a farm of his own in
the Catskills.
Leopold Zimmerman, who came
from Germany as a boy to seek his
fortune in America. is the broker.
Louis Williams, known to all police
men in the city as the Sergeant" is
the bootblack
Mr.. Zimmerman celebrated his
seventy.third birthday this week. The
celebration took place at his desk
where he works daily from o'clock
in the morning until in the evening
directing the business of the broker
age firm of Zimmerman & Forshay
at 10 Broadway.
Eot InI
The firm, founded by Mr.. Zimmer.
mann in 1877, grew to be one of the
largest Of it's kind, dealing in foreign
and domestic bonds and stocks, money
remittances to various parts of the
world, and foreign currencies. But in
June, 1923. the firm went into re-
ceivership due to the collapse Of the
German mark and to connected de-
velopmentS. Its doors were closed for
II months, while Mr.. Zimmerman
soiled increasingly to straighten out
its affairs.
Then in May. 1924. the firm reopened
for business, and under the personal
direction of Mr.. Zimmerman has
been working its way back to a firm
footing. Many old customers have re-
stored their accounts and the business
has been extended. Suits are being
prosecuted for several millions of dol.
lars said to be owing to the firm, in.
cluding s1,500.000 from the Deutsche
Bank of Berlin.
Given good health for the next few
wears, Mr.. Zimmerman declares he
is confident of paying off all claims
against the firm, amounting to about
s2.500 900. He says he expects to keep
his good health. which he ascribes to
good .humor. simple life. work and
a happy married life
