Israel Silverman yester- day afternoon led Company E of the Business Battalion in the forty-first an- nual high school cadet competitive drills to win first honors and the ac- companying trophies with an average of 956 per cent Business was repre- sented by two companies in a field of 30 competing units. ‘The honors were hard fought, how- ever, and Company E, 1st Regiment, one of the 10 units Central sent into the field, took second honors with an average of 95.2 per cent, under com- | mand of Cadet Capt. R. Minor Hudson. | Decision Was. Close. Less than 1 per cent separated the three placing companies, and Western will sport the white ribbons of third place won by its Company H, 4th Regi- (ment, under Cadet Capt. Edwin S.

Eastern, which came perhaps nearer than any other school except Busi- ness to having & “first-place winning | company.” held its big celebration last | night, when after a ‘“cadet and| athletes” supper had b2en served to| 600 persons, a two-hour assembly was | held wfl.}l the winning rookie com- Ppany on its stage. v}’lth music and cheers galore to ! carry the flood tide of emotions, East- ern’s program was interspersed with epeeches by Maj.

Foilowing the assembly this morning, Central was back on schedwle with only a few mintes ‘wten from ~n~h study period. ‘Western, with a third-place winning companv among the six it sent to the feld, held its annual cadet supver last night. Some Western students were inclined to feel a celebration of third place rather grim fun until they were reminded that their company took third nlace in the field of 30 comnenies and then it was separated from first vlace only bv six-tenths of 1 per cent.| Its celebration was continued this morning with a student assembly, at which music and cheers vied with speeches by facultv members and for- mer captains of Western companies.

The victory of Company E of Busi- | ness was announced on the drill fleld | yesterday in the usual tense fashion, | which brought the assembled thou-| sands to their feet in anticipation of the results.

The brigade adjutant turned to face the Cadet Corps. Taking a few paces toward them he came to an abrupt halt, turning his face neither to the right nor to the left. Forty seconds passed and the assembled thou- sands rose to their feet. Suddenly Ma) Btone strode straight ahead to Capt. Btlverman and bedlam broke In the Business section of the stands!

Work on the memorial boulevard that is to link the National Oapital with Mount Vernon will start as soon as the exact route is approved by the George Washington Bicentennial Com- mission, as required by the enabling act passed by Congress just before adjourn- ment. Moving with promptness, the execu- tive committee of the bicentennial com- mission has asked the United States Bureau of Public Roads to submit as soon as possible detailed surveys, on which the commission will base its decision as to the route. It 18 not expected to take the Public Roads Bureau long to gmplfl' the data, since engineers of the bureau have pre- viously assembled a considerable amount of the Information needed. In a re- port to the committees of Congress more than a year ago P. 8t. J. Wilson, chief engineer of the bureau, outlined the several routes that have been sug- gested from time to time and strongly recommended a route near the banks of the Potomac, pointing out that a river route would exceptional possibilities for A monumental highwa Mr. Wilson is ready to proceed with- out delay to compile the report re- quested by the bicentennial commi: slon. The date of the next mevting of the commission has not been fixed, but it Is probable that a time will be after the surveys and csti- mates of the Public Roads Bureau are transmitted to the commission. The recent session of Congress not only completed the enabling act for this boulevard, which has been looked forward to for more than 40 years, but followed up the enactment of the law by placing in the last deficlency bill an initial appropriation of $2,800,000 to qput the project under way. ‘herefore, as soon finally ratified actual construotion of the highway can be started and will be pushed without ‘delay, in view of the general desire to oomplete It in 1032 of the 300th anniversary of the birth of Washington.

By the Associated Dress JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June 6. Florida's delegation to the Democratic national convention will go uninstructs ed, under ruling of the State central committee, but how it will stand with regard to the candidacy of Gov. Smith of New York remained in doubt today. Returns from yesterday's primary, in which delegates were voted for, come prised reports from less than 50 of the State's 1,182 precincts, and on the basis of these meoager figures 6 of the 63 | candidates for places on the delegation, who are known to favor Smith, were irailing In view of the failure of a majority of the candidates to announce their attitude, it appeared that the question of Florida's stand at the convention would remain to be told when the balloting starts. . Plea for Harmony. Herbert Felkel, editor of the St. Augustine Record, and a Smith leader, claimed that most of the candidates favoted Smith. On the other hand, slates of those who were termed anti- Smith candidates were circulated be fore the primary by the Anti-Saloon League of Florida and by other organ. izations. J. T. Crawford, national com- mittéeman, in & pre-primary statement urged the voters not to ohoose a dele- gation so unalterably opposed to Smith that it would prefer disruption of the party rather than his nomination. Of the woman candidates for dele- gates at large, of which four were to be selected, Mrs. Felkel and Mrs. How- ard Qolding of Pensacola, avowed Smith adherents, were running behind on the moager returns by nearly 4 to| 1. Simiiarly, four Pensacola men an- nounced as Smith supporters, were tralling the man candidates. Doyle E. Carlton, Tampa attorney, led a fleld of five candidates for the Democratic guberantorial nomination with a 2,000-vote margin. At little more than one-fitth of the State has reported, there was & strong posibility that a count of second-choice votes might be needed to decide the winner. he vote from 241 of the 1.182 pr cinets in the State stood: Cariton, 10,- |820; Fons A Hathaway, chairman of the State Road Department, former _Clov.
