ANGRY MOTHER
TO KEEP GIRL
FROM SCHOOL
Parent Charges Child
Searched 3 Times
For Nickel

More than a week before Yule-
tide holidays, 10-year-old Cecilia
Peddicord was thrice ordered to
remove her shoes and stockings in
alleged "third degree" methods Of
a local school to locate nickel
a schoolmate claimed the girl
possessed, according to the child's
mother, Mrs. Lucille Peddicord,
who disclosed these happenings
yesterday.
Corroborated by her husband,
Mrs. Peddicord, who asserts she
notified school officials the day
the incident occurred, said today:
81 will not let Cecilia return
to school until / get salts
factory explanation from school
authorities"
The affair was told yesterday
by the little, blond, blue-eyed girl.
1t began when a claSsmate
dropped a five-cent piece in the
John Burroughs School as she got
up to write on the blackboard.
When the girl returned to her seat
children in that section of the
room said that it was in Cecelia's
shoe.
The child related how she was
allegedly called to the front of the
class and directed to remove her
shoes and stockings. After failing
to find the money, it is claimed, the
school principal was called to pro-
ceed further with the investiga-
ton.
This time the child was led out
into the hall and her shoes were
again removed. Cecilia said third
inspection was made by her teacher
during the lunch period when the
other pupils were excused.
With childlike enthusiasm Ce-
celia explained how, upon her
teachers suggestion, she searched
the floor in an effort to locate
the nickel. 1t was finally found,
she said, in an open envelope near
the desk Of the girl who reported
it missing.
The fifth-grade teacher de-
Scribed the incident "as much
to do about nothing" The teacher
said the child removed her shoes
in the presence Of the class and
declared she knew nothing OF
! what happened in the hall.

New German Cruiser
Stationed Near Spain

BERLIN, Jan. 8 GNSO.-An'
other 6,oo0-ton German cruiser,
the Koeln, appeared off the North
ern Spanish seacoast today as for
eign advices told of the Spanish
loyalist governments rejection Of
the Reich's ultimatum.
The reported rejection came as
a shock to WilhelmStraSSe, which
had been confident Premier Fran
cisco Largo Caballero would capt.
ulate and release the cargo and
passengers of the German mer'
chantman Palos from Bilbao.
Soviet Russian pressure. was
back of the Valencia attitude, Nazl
authorities bitterly charged.
In any event, they said, the Palos
incident will be closed when the
ultimatum expires Friday. If Va
lencia surrenders, Germany will
give up the captured Aragon and
Marta Junquera, II uOG, GIle GWS
ships will be turned over to the
insurgents.
Germany's Spanish war fleet
will then continue to patrol the
coast to watch for further Spanish
acts of piracy"
The Koeln, it was stated here,
was sent to replace" the Koenigs-
berg. Replace" in admiralty
phraseology, is often just another
word for reinforce" and it is
notable that the Koenigsberg has
not yet steamed for home.
There remains, so far as is
definitely known, the pocket bat

nine destroyers in Spanish waters.

Observing the wishes of the
broken-hearted father, all officers
of local, State and Federal agen-
cies have announced and kept a
hands off" policy toward the kid
naper, in their eagerness to effect
the safe return of the boy.
However, as the case dragged

Mattson to accept the $4,000 ran

1t does they will turn loose every
man at their command, and that

against the desperate.
1t was believed the forces of
the law would give the kidnaper
but day or so longer to release
the boy.
Reports were received at Ia
coma that two suspects had been
arrested at widely separated
points-San Francisco and Spenc-
er, Iowa. The G-men here would
not comment on the arrests, but
it was evident they were not par
ticularly interested.
Lawyer Denies Threat
At the same time there was a
report here that another Tacoma
citizen, wealthy Norton Clapp, at
torney, had been threatened with
the abduction Of one of his chill
dren.
Although the report was denied
by Clapp. several Tacoma officers
said it was true. They declared
the lawyer had received a letter
last fall. detailing that harm
would befall his family unless he
paid large sum of money.
