Did you see the beautiful

was purchased by Lloyd Shaeffer

about ready to run.
The Icacos has beautiful accom-
modations including hot water
heater and bathtubs. The tanks
hold $50 gallons of gasoline and
800 gallons of water.

Files Answer In
l'',Jiidgy'ssshipf Case
DEALS WITH F. o. ROBERTS
RIGHT TO ACT AS
JUDGE

John G. Sawyer, attorney for
Philip Bailey, the colored boy
who has been confined in the
county Jail more than seven
months because Monroe county
had no juvenile court to try him,
today filed an answer in the. SUI
preme court to the quo warranto
proceedings instituted by Attor-
ney General J. Tom Watson to
determine Frank o. Roberts right
to act as Juvenile judge:
The case grew out of Judge
Roberts giving Bailey a hearing
three weeks ago, and, as Attorney
Sawyer said, the action was of a
friendly nature and designed
solely to determine Mr.. Roberts
status as judge. apofi ME ss4
Il Should athenslprene court i,de-
eide as unconstitutional the l945
legislative tact that abolished the
court, Judge Roberts will resume
the office of Juvenile judge, to
which he was elected in 1914 for
a four-year term.
After he had given Bailey a
hearing, Judge Roberts felt dis
posed, he said, to liberate the
boy, as he had been in Jail suf-
ficiently long, but afterward he
thought the better course was to
wait till the supreme court had
rendered its decision in the quo
warranto proceedings.

LET SEASON AT FISHER
MEMS MEET MARCH 10

AT special meeting of the
Gulf Coast District, Fisherman's
Union. Key West Branch, it was
UNANIMOUSLY voted that in the
future oil Commercial Union
Fishermen will have displayed on
their boats a large card with the
reading F'Union Boat, the color
signifying the month, with the
captains narpe ard signature by
the local agent. .,s
The chief purpose of this is to
eliminate, any question of a
strange boat entering the waters
and not being Union Fishermen
In the past a steward of the
Local Branch would have to con-
tact the captain of a strange boat
and ask him if he was a member
Of the union and show his re-
ceipt. The above system will
eliminate this problem.
The captain will be respon-
.ible for each member of the
crew seeing that he and each
member of the crew are paid up
members of the union.
With this card system the cap
tain of run boats and fish house
foremen will know which boats
are Commercial Union, Fisher
men. ''''l'l

Jeffries is in the news again. Sadly

around the turn Of the century, is

Jeffries' name always brings that

is associated with the era through
the medium of common opponents.
We only saw Jeffries once. That
was about a dozen years ago in
Omaha. We found huge bear of
a man, soft spoken and kindly and
showing no visible effects of his
ring career. It was easy to see he
did not think much of the crop of
heavyweights current at the time,
and he blamed this deterioration to
disinclination to train properly,
particularly in respect to road
work. The boys just weren't in
condition, in other words.

Cadet Grid Careers
Sliced At West Point

WEST POINT, N. Y, Feb. 81
(PlEFelix (Doc) Blanchard and
Glenn Davis, All-America backs,
and at least nine other members of
Army's powerful 1915 football
squad will play their last season
for the U. S. military academy
next fall, although they still have
two years of eligibility.
This was disclosed today by Maj.
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, academy
superintendent, who announced the
division of the present sophomore
class into two sections, one of
which will be graduated in the
spring of 1947.
The division, which becomes ef-
fective next June 5, was made in
connection with plans to reconvert
the academy from a wartime to
peacetime basis, General Taylor
said
In addition to Blanchard and
Davis, football players now listed
as sophomores who will jump into
the senior class after June 5 are:
Arnold Tucker, first strin 6
quarterback; Herschel Fuson and
James Enos, centers; Jack Ray
and Shelton Biles, guards; Harold
Tavzel, tackle; Barney Poole and
Tom Hayes, ends, and William
West, back.
Immediately after Taylor's an
nouncement, the football squad
met and elected Davis and
Blanchard as co-captains for 1916.
The election had been postponed
because of the impending division.
Traditionally. the army grid cap
tain comes from the first (senior)
class. 1t will be the first time in
the history of the academy for the
cadets to be led by co-captains.
Davis, who comes from Clare
mont, Calf, and was appointed to
the academy by Rep. Jerry Voor-
his D-Calif, is the outstanding
all-around athlete at West Point.
Blanchard, from Bishopville,y S.
c., was a private in the army air
forces before his appointment by
Rep. John L. Mcmillan D-S.CO
Both Davis and Blanchard were
AIl-America selections the past
two years, Davis at halfback and
Blanchard at fullback.
Athletic ability did not figure In
the basis for the division, the
academy's announcement said. The
four factors in the selection were:
1-Scholarship, leadership and
long range potentialities to the
service; 2-the individuals choice;
3-that the class be equally divided
to place a like number OF grad
yates in the Army in 1947 and
1913; Ain the event that all other
