Companion Narrowly Es-
CapeS Same Fate in Attempt ;
to Save His Life.
SEARCHERS FAIL TO FIND
BODY OF w. w. VOELKER
August Groves, 90, Dazed From
Striking Head on Rock in
Rescue Effort.

William w. Voelker, 50-year-old'
painter OF 3l6 K street southwest. was
drowned in the rapid current of the up
per Potomac late yesterday afternoon,
as ne struggled to regain the shore only,
a few yards away. His body had not
been recovered early this afternoon.
for hours.
A companion, August Groves, % years
Ola, OF 1911 Seventh street, narrowly
escaped with his own life after an at
tempt to reach Voelker, as he sank be-
meath the water for the last time.
Dazed from striking his head on a
rock and with a cut on his left side.
suffered when he was whirled into a
submerged boulder by the tYeacherous
edd1es, Groves struck out for the Vir-
ginia shore when he realized it would
be impossible to reach Voelker and
reached his objective as two companions
started to his aid.
Struggled to Keep AfOat.
The tragedy came while Voelker,
Groves, Chester Woodard of Fairfax
and John Sims of Columbia Hospital
were swimming about half mile above
Chain Bridge. Voelker, an excellent
swimmer, was first in the water and
was swimming strongly in midstream
Wien he suddenly cried out and dis
appeared.
An undercurrent carried him a short
way down the river before he reap
peared. Voelker struggled vainly to
keep af1oat and Groves jumped into the
water to go to his aid. The latter came
within inches of grabbing his friend as
the latter disappeared for the last time
beneath the surface Of the river.
In his dazed condition, Groves la
boriously made his way to shore, not
knowing that Sims and Woodward had
started to his assistance a quarter of
mile down river. Groves dragged him
self up the steep palisade and was rest
ing there when John Mills, a colored
employe at the home of Mrs. William
Doak, who lives on the summit of the
cliff, found him. Groves was removed
to Georgetown University Hospital in
the patrol wagon of No. z precinct and
was dismissed after f1rst-aid treatment.
Harbor Police Seek Body.
Unable to find either Groves or the
body of Voelker Sims and Woodward,
in the meantime, climbed to Mrs. Doak's
residence and had her telephone Wash
ington police. Mills and the two men,
bers OF the swimming party then scat
tered to search for the missing men
and Mills discovered Groves shortly
afterwards.
Harbor police started dragging for
the drowned mans body, but aban-
doned their efforts at midnight. Re-
suming the dragg ng this morning, they
were still at work at noon today. It
is believed possible the body was car
ried beneath one of the innumerable
rocks in the river by the unusually
swift flow of water at that point.
Voelker was born in nearby Mary

at the K street address, being estranged
from his wife for many months. He

Athletes Not to be Paid
For Last Time; Blacks
Are Rejected

BERLIN. May 21-F-The IN
ternational amateur athletic feder-
alton has taken . firm stand
against compromising athletes for
lost wages during Olympic games.
A Swiss-Dutch proposal that
broken time" be granted working
athletes failed overwhelmingly OF
adoption. 10 to 4. a. the I A. A. =.
annual meeting yesterday. Support
ing the proposal along with Swift
Zeriand and Holland were only Fin
land and Sweden.
To c~ounter-act the plea for
broken time. Great Britain's dele
gates were empowered % propose
that the rules be made ever more
strict laong that lire than they are
now. Britain was prepared 70 sug-
gest that mo competitor who re-
ceived any payment or compensa-
ton for lost salary directly or in
directly or in any guise whatsoever
shall be permitted to participate in
future Olympics."
When the Swiss-Dutch proposal
was defeated, however. the British
delegates agreed t. withdraw their
proposal and let well enough alone.
BY a majority Just .bou. as over
whelming, Americas plea for re-
cognition OF the Ese OF starting
blocks IN sprint races was turned
down. but Joseph 3. McCabe OF
Boston. member OF the American
delegation. succeeded in having the
matter referred to further study.
Also referred for additional inves-
tigation was a German proposal
that record performances shall not
be recognized II they have been
made with a favoriEg wind OF more
than two meters per second. The
delegates voted against the add
ton TO the Olympic program OF a
5000 meter relay race and a IS kile
weight throw.
