TJritish Colum bia, has been missing since Inst Thurs day. -He wns Inst seen by acquaintances about an hour before n young man leaped to his death from the South street bridge into the Schuylkill river. A witness of the suicide today identified n picture of young Jenkins ns the youth who was drowned. The body of the suicide has not been recovered. II. Ii. Jenkins, the missing student's 'father, who is expected to arrive in this city late today, does not believe his boy ended his life. Mr. Jenkins believes his son is working? The boy, according to his father, often expressed n desire to work his way through college, say ing he did not want to appear as a "snob" among other students. Young Jenkins was last seen by ac quaintances at - o'clock Thursday in the Morris house. University of Penn sylvania dormitories, where lie occupied room No. .12. At 4 o'clock Thursday he was to have taken an examination, and when he did not appear for the test other students thought he was "ducking." But the student did not return to his room, and on Monday his absence was reported by John Shndle, who occupied an adjoining room. Shndle was referred by the authori ties nt the college to the police, nnd City Hall Detectives Mahaffcy and Fadley' were assigned to the case. Father Thinks Son 'May He Working The same night, the father of the boy was notified of his'soif's disappear ance in n telegram that expressed the fear that young Jenkins might have beenjthe suicide. F. R. Moore, manager and treasurer of a manufacturing firm at Ellwood City, near Pittsburgh, Pa., with whom Mr. Jenkins is connected in business, received nn nppeal to come to Philadel phia nnd aid in the search for the student. In the communication to Mr. Moore the father said he thought his son left college to go to work, ns some money that had been forwarded the boy had not reached here. The author ities of cities along the Pacific const were also notified to conduct a search. Before coming to the University In June ns n freshman young Jonmns attended the Thatcher Preparatory School, of California. He also has relatives in that state. , , Mr. Jenkins also hinted that hazing, to which his son might have been sub jected by upper classmen at the Uni versity, might hnvc prompted hlra to leave the city.

The police boat Ileyburn is drag ging for the body. Thomas W. Collins, n negro, em nlnvod nt the Philadelphia Hospital, is the only witness of the" drowning who has been 'found.
