District Cadet Corps
Growing Organization

brought before the eyes of the pub
Ito more than ever. The members
have made the corps what it is today
"a model for all military organiZa-
tIons of its kind.
The corps has participated in many
events of public nature. On
Washingtons birthday two picked
companies furnished the guard OF
honor at ceremonies held at the
Washington Monument. On March I.
when the administration change he
entire corps was a guard of h or
at the White House. 1t gave PreSi-
dent Woodrow Wilson his last salute
and President Warren G. Harding his
first. Commissions were presented to
the officers of the corps by Gen. John
J. Pershing, and when the regiments
were presented with their regImental
flags the corps was reviewed by Sec
rotary of War Weeks.
The cadets have also taken part in
events that will go down in history.
The officers Of the corps marched in
the parade TO Arlington national
cemetery for the unknown soldier
and took part IN the ceremony in
honor of Marshal Joffre. On April
27, 1922, the entire corps marched in
the parade which was held in honor
of the unveiling of the Grant Memo
rial.
The competitive drill has been an
annual event. 1t is recognized as the
biggest school event of the year.
The verdict is awaited with nervous
anxiety, while fervent hopes are
soaring high for ones favorite com
pany. Just prior to the days OF the
competitive drills the talk of the
young girls Is nothing but the COM
ing event. ..--
Forty years of the highest ideals
and traditions have made the corps
what the present Secretary of War
once termed 1.-THE model high
school military unit of the country"
The training schedule covers both
theoretical and practical knowledge.
There is also an annual encampment.
which IS usually at the National
Guard camp at Congress Heights.
Various discs are used to denote
the rank Of the officers of the corps
The non-commissioned officers are
distinguished by chevrons worn on
the sleeves. These are identical with
those of the Army. Other specific
designations not coming under the
head of insignia are the distinguished
cadet decoration. the honor battalion
star and the war games devices
Several Innovations have been in
troduced during the past year
chiefly a regimenta1 cadet court This
is composed of the higher ranking
cadet officers. tribunal before which
all cases of infractions OF the rules
and regulations of the cadet eeTps
are brought. The accused Is allowed
counsel and the findings Of the court
are referred to the principal Of the
school to which the accused cadet
belongs and its military committee.
who then refer the entire proceed
ings to the reviewing authority, the
assistant superintendent of schools,
whose action is final.
Then there have been established
two regimenta1 bands, one at Central
and the other at Mckinley. wheDl-
ever the brigade is formed the two
bands consolidate as a brigade band.

! No, II will be the cadets of our high
schools doing their daily dozens"
/ 1t was in May of 1882 that the
local High School Cadet Corps was
first formed That makes the corps
| forty-one years old. Since it's forma-
| ton, with two small companies. the
corps has grown to several regiments
| of boys in blue, and has a band and
drum corps.
When the corps was started the
| boys were drilled under the super
vision of George Israel, a teacher in
old Central High School. Fifty old
Austrian rifles were obtained and the
companies alternated in the use of
the rifles.
The cadets made their first public
appearance in May. 1888, when a
picked company marched in the
parade of the Grand Army of the
Republic. In the same year Capt.
Burton r. Ross of the District of Co
lumbia National Guard became a reg
ularly appointed instructor of the
corps. Later he was promoted to
lieutenant colonel. In 1885 the or
ganization in which Allan Davis.
who was later principal of Business
High School. was a cadet appeared
at the exercises attending the dedi
cation of the Washington Monument.
Following the death of Col. Ross,
! the corps was put under the super
vision Of Maj. McCathran. who was
also an officer of the local militia.
In the spring of 1916 he was called
to service on the Mexican border.
For a short time the boys were with
out an official instructor. In Novem-
ber, 1915, Lieut.. n. B. Briscoe of the
Regular Army was appointed by the
War Department and under his di-
| rection the first brigade was formed.
Upon the entrance of this country
into the big fight" Lieut.. Briscoe
was assigned to more important
duties. and the assistant instructor
formerly cadet colonel, Wallace NJ.
Yater, was promoted to his post. The
position of assistant instructor was
filled in 1918 by former Cadet Maj
Shoults. In November, 1918, he was
promoted to military Instructor upon
the resignation of Cadet Col. Yater.
In the fall of 1919 Lieut. r. Day of
the marines was selected as military
instructor. Under him an entirely
new drill In extended order was in
troduced, the closs-order drill re-
naming the same. On May s. 1920,
the corps paraded with different
Army units in the National Army
contest parade. The boys were COM
plimsnted on their splendid appear
ance by the then Secretary of War,
Newton Baker. This Is only one Of
the many instances where the corps
has made its appearance in the last
few years and received compliments
from it's friends.
Upon the resignation of Lieut.. Day
the War Department designated
Lieut.. Col Craigie of the Regular
Army as professor of military science
and tactics and instructor. There were
also three assistants assigned for duty
with Col Craigie.
During last year the corps, under
the supervision Of the instructors.

Sensational Testimony in Florida
 Convict Camp Probe

Tallahassee, Fla. May 9.-After c day of startling testimony during which Mrs. Thelma Franklin, wife of J. E. Franklin, postmaster and store- keeper at Glen St. Mary. told the joint legislative committee investigat- ing alleged convict camp brutalities that at least nine deaths among the convicts leased by Senator T. J. Knabb from Baker and other coun- ties had occurred within one year, the committee resumed its hearing today.
 Testimony Is Unshaken.
 Mrs. Franklin was emphatic in her testimony and all efforts to confuse her proved in vain. Senator Knabb sat in the committee room as she re- lated the results of her personal in vestigation.
 T have nothing personal against MT. Knabb," she said, and what l have to testify is for the sake of hu- manity and to allow the people of the country to know the real truth" :"
 Supervisor Condemned.
 AS a result of Mrs Franklin's tes- timony the investigation committee passed resolution declaring J. B. Thomas, state prison supervisor, unfit to continue in his post and requested Governor Hardee to remove him at once. Thomas in an earlier report on conditions in the Knabb camp, is said to have characterized it as human slaughter pen"
 In a later report he asserted this characterization was an exaggera- ton.

Charges Murder,

The witness startled the committee when she switched abruptly from the subject of Whites alleged mistreat- ment and declared that Warden Thompson, employed by Senator Knabb last Wednesday, shot and killed Mary Sheffield. a negress and her daughter at one Of the convict camps. The Sheffield woman was to have been a witness before the com mittee.
 Mrs. Franklin recited at some length the various conversations she had with young White and told how he had complained to her that he was whipped with a strap, practically every day. by John Rodbenbury, Senator knabb's whipping boss.
 "Looked Like a Hobo"
 Judge J. K. Jones, justice of the peace for 10 years at High Springs. Alachua county, testified before the committee that he had sentenced White to serve six months and pay fine of s25 because White pleaded guilty and looked like a professional hobo"
 It is expected that Judge Jones will be recalled to the stand today.
