to win a wager. He found himself
famous-and in Jail, charged with in
terfering with bridge traffic and at
tempting suicide" There is no proof
however, that he made the lean.
Sometime later, when he attempted
to refurbish his reputation by Jump
ing off another bridge which wasn't
so high he had to be rescued.
anyway, Brodie was not the first
10 leap off Brooklyn Bridge. But so
we'll did he advertise himself and so
we'll did he profit that policemen had
to guard the structure to prevent
others from emulating him.
First famous jumper in the u. S.
was Dan Patch, Rhode Islander, who
while a cotton-spinner in Paterson,
N. j., leaped from a Passaic River
bridge and became a celebrity. He
was killed when % in a 125 foot des-
cent into the Genesee River.
Police guard New Ydrk's new
George Washington bridge, 250-feet
above the Hudson, constantly against
stunt and suicide leaps, but several
are attempted each week.

Today's native is tractable and

so. There is an indication of being
held in restraint or that some force
of circumstance interferes with the
freedom of action. Both of these
dangers should be avoided if possible.

SIX IN CABINET
TO STUMP FOR
ROOSEVELT
International News Service

A small army of distinguished
personages drawn from the who's
who" Of the Democratic party to-
day was ready to take the stump
in support Of President RooSevelt's
drive for reelection.
In announcing the selection Of
Representative Sam Rayburn Of
Texas as head Of the party's
speakers bureau, Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley said virtually every
cabinet member will take to the
hastings between now and election
day.
They will be augmented by vari-
GUS State governors, members of
the diplomatic corps and other
government officials.
Lehman and LaGuardia
Farley expressed hope that
Governor Lehman Of New York,
close friend of Mr.. Roosevelt, and
Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia of New
York City, also would join actively
in the Presidents campaign.
Asked whether that meant Dem
ocratic Endorsement of LaGuardia
for reelection in 1887, Farley re-
Piled:
"Why talk about that now?
All things will be taken care Of
as they come along"
Farley named six Cabinet mem.
bers as certain campaign orators.
They are Secretary of State Hull,
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
Secretary of Interior Ickes, Secre-
tary Of Labor Perkins, Secretary
of Commerce Roper and Attorney
General Cummings.
DOdges Question
Asked whether these Cabinet
members would take leaves of alb
sence, as he did, while they en-
gage in political campaigning,
Farley said:
you'll have to ask them"
Expressing supreme confidence
in the reelection of President
Roosevelt, Farley reiterated he
does not concede a single State
to the Republicans. He declared
the opposite prediction of Repub-
1ican National Chairman John
Hamilton would prove to be
amusing reading" the morning
after election day.
Farley refused to discuss why
he obtained his three-months
leave of absence from the Post
master Generalship or reports
that he offered to resign outright.

NE HEADQUARTERS FOR DEMOCRATS
 AREANN0UNCED
Arrangements for Delegates Made in Philadelphia
 -Alaskans Housed

PHILADELPHIA, "a, June 5. - Delegates to the 1886 Democratic National Convention, which opens in Philadelphia late next month, will find the hotels offering un- rivaled facilities for the comfort of their guests. The thousands of visi- tors and sightseers who are coming here to view the convention activi- ties from the sidelines and to visit the many historic shrines of the rsmed Quaker City also will find tIe hotels prepared to cater to their every whim.
 The Philadelphia Hotel Associa- ton, under the leadership of c. Pit man Baker, Jr and the Convention Bureau of the Chamber of Com merce, with Frank L. Devine in charge, are doing a fine job in popularizing Philadelphia as con- vention city" said David B. Provan, former president and veteran of the Hotel Association. MT Baker and MT. Devine have taken every step possible to assure the Democratic delegates and convention visitors of the utmost in ease and conveniences during their stay in the city.
 Is Live City
 Philadelphia has become a live city, too, and people no longer have to leave it for their amusement over the week lends. There is more of historical interest to be seen in our city than in any other in the coun- try"
 MT. Provan is said to be the only man living who managed hotel during the Republican convention here the week of June Is, 1900, at which William Mckinley and Theo- dore Roosevelt were nominated.
 At the convention in 1900 every hotel was crowded to capacity with the delegates and their following, MT. Provan recalled, but I think we'll have twice as many here for the Democratic National Conven- ton the week of June 21.
 And we're better prepared for it, too, than we were in 1900. With the numerous large and small hotels which have sprung up since that time, we'll have ample facilities to make the whole crowd comfortable. ,"

Rains May
| Do Much Damage

Washington, D. C~.,-Unusually
heavy SHOWS and rains in the
southeastern part of the country
have set the stage for serious
floods. There is now enough snow
in the basin of the Potomac River
to bring serious trouble along its
banks. 1t all depends on the way
the snow and ice melt, according
to M. W. Hayes, of the Weather
Bureau.
If melting is gradual, there will
be no flooding of any consequence.
A rain of 1 to III inches on top
of the now and ice cover, how
ever, is sure to cause serious floods
along the lower banks of the river
There are now, Mr.. Hayes says,
from 5 to IS inches of snow over
the watershed of the Potomac. The
average coverage is from II to IS
inches, only one place-Frostburg,
Md.-having IS inches. At Great
Falls just above Washington, D. c.
there is only a narrow channel open.
In the rest of the normal channel
ice is piled 10 to 20 feet.
Already there are floods in the
Alabama river and its tributaries,
in the Tomtigbee and Black War
rior rivers in southern Alabama
and also in the Pascagoula river,
and its tributaries in southern Mis-
sissippi. Some of the rivers in
Georgia and the Carolinas are in
moderate Flood stage because of
heavy rains.
The Mississippi river, though in
no immediate danger of flooding,
is clogged with ice below Cairo
farther south than usual.
