Congressman Elston Plunges Into Potomac in Tragic Death
Washington dispatch reports Representative John A. Elston of California was found dead in the Potomac River after disappearing earlier in the week. A note on his body spoke of ruin from unnamed circumstances. A Republican who served since the Sixty-fourth Congress, Elston left no immediate explanation for his disappearance, and his hat and overcoat were recovered with the body. He had shown concern over a naval base project in Alameda and faced a political future he apparently chose not to pursue. He is survived by a widow and four children.
