Considerable mystery surrounds the
identity of the man who either jumped,
fell or was hurled 75 feet to h's death
from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
bridge over the Brandywine late last
night The man wore underwmr of
the finest texture, and curried two fine
linen handkerchiefs, one blue in color
and the other red. So clean wore his
h«nds, portions of his face and his
body that It Is doubted If he had been
working either on the railroad or in
any shop or mill.
The man's faoe and head was badly
crushed and both arms and his left leg
were fractured by the fall. Every ef
fort was made this morning by Deputy
Coroner Nichols to find someone who
might identify the body, which is at
the morgue, but the search had been
unavailing up to 1 o'clock this after
noon.
The victim was about 25 years old, 5 '
feet 9 Inches In height, and wefghed I
about 170 pounds. Ue wore a blue serge ■
suit and cap of mixed colors. His shoes ;
were black, No. 8 in size. There was !
nothing on the clothing to indicate |
where it had been manufactured, nor 1
anything in his pockets which would I

NEW JERSEY MAY ATTACK

JERSEY CITY, N. J. Jan. 1, (United
Press.)—The distinction between "alco

may Agure In an attempt to obtain re
vocation of Secretary Lansing procla
mation of raMAoat'on of the prohibi
tion amendment, according to a state
ment by Edward 1. Edwards, who was
elected Governor of New Jersey on a
"wet" platform.
Preliminary Investigation In Wash

some of the ratifying Slat« legislatures
passed resolutions reading "alcoholic
liquors" while the resolutions of others
read "Intoxicating liquors." If this Is
officially veriff-d Edwards Is expected
to point out to Lansing that the Stales
did not aet upon the same resolution
and that rallAoatlon of the amendment
Is consequently Invalid.

The country at large and Wilmington
in particular saw the passing of the

the new, and while there was the

than that which had taken part In sim
