WILCOX STIRRED
BY SON JAMES,
AID TO PEPPER
Vote Sent to President
! Asks Explanation
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

president Roosevelt has been
a$ked categorically by Representa-
tipe ]. Mark Wilcox of the Fourth
F. orida congressional district
whether Son Jimmy" spoke for
the Administration in expressing
our hope" that Senator Claude
Pepper would be reelected from
that State.
sHimSelf a candidate for the Sen
ate, Representative Wilcox expects
to win the Democratic nomina-
ton. He has accordingly called on
the President to explain just how
much significance can be attached
To a statement made in Senator
Peppers behalf in Palm Beach sew
etal days ago.
) PLEDGE VIOLATION
Intervention of the Presidents
son and secretary is regarded by
Wilcox as a violation of a pledge
hy Chairman Farley Of the Demo
cratic national committee that the
administration would keep hands
of primary elections in the States.
: Although refusing to make pub
lic the text Of his letter to the
President mailed two days ago,
and to which no reply has been
received, r p esentative Wilcox
gave out the text of a short note
received from an unnamed po-
lttical leader in Florida who is
Supporting his candidacy, and
which he said is typical Of the re-
9ction of the State to James
HooSevelt's statement.
s 'JIM'S DOWN Stunning
ct see," this leader wrote, "that
son Jimmy is down Summing with
the underprivileged and forgotten
men and women Of Palm Beach,
and while so engaged in this up
lit service, has spoken on indors-
ing Charlie Mccarthy.
'What do you think now Of Jim
FArley's assurances? He evidently
overlooked Sunny Boy Jimmy, the
heir-apparent."
Representative Wilcox is under
STOOD to have asked President
Roosevelt whether his son and
Secretary spoke "by and with your
authority" in making the state
Tnent he did.
GIN indorsing Senator Pepper,
james Roosevelt based the indorSe-
naent on New Deal legislation.
Gin answer, Representative viii
cbx recalled that President RooSe-
Wslt, referred in one of his fireside
talks in 1888 to the Municipal
Bankruptcy Act, Of which he Is
the author. as one of the major
accomplishments Of the first
Roosevelt Administration.
Representative Wilcox also cites
praise of the Wilcox Air Defense
Act by the late Senator Joe Rob-
inson of Arkansas, Democratic
leader Of the Senate. as evidence
of his legislative ability. This
Measure provided for a series OF
air bases on the country's
frontiers.

death OF CADET
CAUSES SCHOOL.
TO BAN WEAPONS.
Tablet to Be Placed
Honoring D. C. Boy

Only the flag, flying at half
staff over the ancient campus Of
Charlotte Hall Military Academy in
st. Marys County, Md, today bore
testimony to the tragic shooting
Tuesday of William L. Davies, a
15-year-old Charlotte Hall cadet.
Warren G. sharp, also Is, whose
hand held the 80 caliber revolver
which sent fatal bullet into his
chum's abdomen, was no longer
there. Heartbroken, he left the
Academy yesterday shortly after
a coroner's jury declared the death
Of his classmate accidental.
HOME IN WASHINGTON
At the Hall, it was said, young
Sharp will spend "a week or so"
at his Washington home in the
210O block of F st. N. w., in an
effort to rouse himself from the
effects of the shock brought on
by the tragedy. But Charlotte
Hall. it's 116 students, and Head
master B. F. Crowson, remained
behind to seek forgetfulness in
an atmosphere which fairly reeks
of pre-Revolutionary times.
AS Mrs. Virginia L. Davies, of
1915 I st. N. W., completed
arrangements for the burial of
her son, Colonel Crowson an
nounced that possession of fire
arms by Charlotte Hall students
would no longer be "counte-
nanced."
CONCESSION" FATAL
It was through a CONCESSION"
on the part of an unidentified
member of the Charlotte Hall
faculty that young Sharp was
permitted to harbor the fatal
weapon, the coroner's jury was
told.
Young Davies will be buried
in his cadet uniform" Colonel
Crowson said, "and brass plate
will be placed in one of the
school buildings in his memory"
The dead boys father, Frank
W. Davies, is manager of the Uni
versity Club here.

thing like drop the-handkerchief
Or tree-tag would be more in line,

Barbara's temper famed. This
man, despicable as she held him,
could make her feel ignorant, ILL

away from Bobbie.

"Is-is it all right for. me to
play the game where you shoot

boy persisted, his eyes drawn fas-
cinatedly to the gun which also
frightened him.
Above the child's head Jimmy
Minton's eyes leered mockingly at
Barbara. She met the gaze stead
lily, then said:
"No. Bobbie. You can't trust
guns"
Then Barbara walked away, fore
ing her steps to follow a measured
tread until she had passed too far
to be heard. One thought was GO
ing around and around in her head
like a spinning top. There was
somebody Jimmy Minton wanted
killed. He was expecting Wenda
in a few more moments. But it
couldn't be Wenda. She was his
pawn-his pawn to get even with
Garry. Then it must be Garry!
Oh, it was all becoming plain now.
Wenda had told Garry something
which would make him so infuri-
ated that he would go straight to
Jimmy Minton about tat least,

There was one thing she had to

must get to Garry. She must
warn him. Maybe she should have
taken Bobbie with her. But no.
that would have made Minton
think she held suspicious. Now
he wouldn't know. But he
wouldn't use Bobbie as his instru-

find something else. Garry would
be in his room. He had been in his
swimming suit when she had seen
him in the living room such a few
minutes before. But suppose he
