Frederick I,. Jenkins, tin1 .on. n student in the Wharton School, disap peared after u fellow-student hud seen Jilm burning several letters. lie ap peared deeply worried tit the time, it is Raid, On the. same day the freshman dis- ' appeared a man jumped from the Sooth ' street bridge into the Sehinlklll river, i Police, grappling in (he river have not, yet found the suicide's lindy. I Wanted to Kurn IJlng Although police beliexe the nilsili student to 1ium been tlie Hum who leaped from the bridge, the father does not shnre their belief. The joting man, although welt Minnlicd with funds, was obsessed with the desire to earn his own living, according to Mr. Jenkins. There are three links in the police theory of suicide. The leiui into the river occurred sub-eipient 'o the hour when the Wharton Sctiool freshman was last seen. A green cap found float ing on the river after the leap has beeu found similar in size, shape and color to oue worn by the missing youth. A negro, the only witness of the suicide shown a photograph of the said he was the same man. student, Rut the father, who is prcmri!i! to spend a large sum to find his boy. brushed the police evidence aside. Sev eral students could not agree that the younger Jenkins wore a cap similar to the one found in the river. Frequent letttrs written by the son to the father were all of chi erful tone. The nnparent lack of motive is another point buoying up the parent's hopes. Class Standing llijli The Wharton School student had no financial troubles, the father pointed out. His class standing was excellent. Fellow students scoff at the idea that their issmate was entangled with a girl. They said lie was "skirt-shy." and "Inclined to run at the sight of a girl." .Associated with Mr. Jenkins in the search is I K. Moore, manager and treasurer of a manufacturing concern at Ellwood I'ity near Pittsburgh, with whom the missing youth's futlier has business relations. Mr. Jenkins, notified last Monday of his son's disappearance, reached this city lute yesterday afternoon. Deaths of a Day DR.
