GYPSY MOTHER JUMPS IN RIVER

Despondent because she was unable to find her husband and nine children,
Mrs. Rose ADAMS, a gypsy, jumped into the East River at the foot of Atlantic
avenue, near the Pennsylvania Railroad ferry terminal yesterday.
Mrs. ADAMS and her family had lived at 25 Atlantic avenue, where a gypsy
camp was established. When she returned there last night after having been
away all day, the camp had broken up and none of her family or friends could
be found.
Harry MARTIN, of 432 Prospect avenue, a dock worker, saw the woman jump
into the water and he leaped after her and rescued her. She was taken in an
ambulance to Kings County Hospital, suffering from exposure.


TERRIER MISSING, FEAR FOR OWNER

A little black and tan terrier is needed at the home of Mrs. Lillian
SCRIBNER, of the Mayfair Apartments in State street, Flushing, to help in
her recovery from a serious heart ailment.
Mrs. SCRIBNER is being treated in the Flushing Hospital. While she was
away, her closest companion, "Skippy," the dog wandered from home.
Friends who feel that "Skippy's" absence if discovered by Mrs. SCRIBNER
may seriously affect her condition have offered $100 reward for his return.
On the collar is the license number X754.
