certainty as to whether the
Greco Italian conflict is really
officially before the league of ma
tions is causing much discussion to-
night among the delegations here
for the assembly. There Is some
disappointment that the council
did not take a. more definite stand
this afternoon with respect to the
situation than merely postponing
discussion Of the matter until
next Tuesday and expressing the
hope that the two countries
would commit no acts Of a nature
to aggravate the situation.
On the other hand, there are
many delegates who hold that
the league council as an execu-
tive body acted wisely in consent
ing to brief adjournment. In
any case there Is considerable un-
certainty, as the councils action
in nowise commits 1t to interven-
tion.

CHILD FOUND DEAD
NEAR NEW HOUSE
Possible Victim of Falling
Window Frame Figured in
Estranged Parents Suits

Baby Jimmie Cherico. over whom
several legal battles have been waged
by his estranged parents, was found
dead late yesterday in the yard Of a
partially constructed house near the
home of his grandmother. Mrs. Jacob
Cropp. in Capital Heights. just across
the District line in Maryland
Immediately after supper the little
boy, who, is not yet three years old,
wandered from the yard surrounding
his grandparents home while Mrs.
Cropp was talking to a friend. A
few moments later Mrs. Cropp be-
came worried over her charges alb
sence and began a search.
Thought Him Asleep.
She had scarcely left her yard be.
fore a man coming down the road
said he had seen a little boy lying in
the yard of the unfinished house,
sound asleep. Hurrying there, Mrs.
Cropp found Jimmie, dead, lying with
heavy wooden window frame that
is believed to have been resting
against the side Of the house.
Although 1t was first thought the
unfortunate little fellow had been
playing on the frame and pulled it
down upon himself, more careful ex-
animation failed to disclose any
bruises or cuts anywhere on his body
except on one ankle. On the other
hand. it is not believed the child had
been absent from home long enough
to have fallen into evil hands.
An inquest will be held in the town
hall at Capital Heights today to de-
termne, II possible what actually caus-
ed Jimmie's death. One theory advanced
by the police was that the child had
pulled the frame down upon himself
and became so frightened that he died
of heart disease. Several times in the
short span of his life he had suffered
from shortness of breath.
Parents Not Informed
: Neither of the child's parents had
been told of his death last night. His
twenty-year-old mother, Mrs. Viola
Cherico. is spending the week end at
Colonial Beach with friends and her
address there is unknown to her parents,
with whom she made her home and in
whose charge she had left Jimmie. The
father is living in New York and his
address. too, was not known by Mr..
and Mrs. Cropp last night.
Only recently, according to friends
Of Mrs. Cherico, she and her hus-
band were in court over the custody
Of Jimmie. The mother was per-
mitted to retain him and it Is said
that when the father returned to
New York he announced nothing
would ever bring him back to Wash
ington unless it were in hopes Of
obtaining his boy.
