East Lansing, at least during the school term and indications were that the girls might be permitted to occupy the house until Christmas. The controversy which arose when the Kappa Delta girls moved into the house, located in an exclusive residential section in which sorority houses are not permitted by the zoning ordinance, was referred to the civic committee with power to act after Dr. R.

M. Olin, director of the college health service, addressed the council Monday night in behalf of the sorority members. It also was indicated that Harry D. Hubbard, city attorney, would institute proceedings to test the validity of the East Lansing zoning ordinance so that its regulations could not be questioned in future disputes. A delegation of property owners in the restricted area appeared before the council, agreeing to allow the girls to occupy the house until Christmas.

They felt, however, that further extension of time would set a bad precedent. Dr. Olin told the East Lansing council members that the girls wanted to abide by the council's wishes but that it would be inconvenient to move during the college term. He said that while the sorority members had been advised against moving into the restricted area they had been told that the ordinance would be taken care of. He also added that the girls realized they had been badly advised and were being used for the purpose of breaking an ordanince.

Head of Council Committee Makes Inspection Trip With Engineer Prospects that the Capital City airport will be soon converted from an undependable field at times literally a sea of mud into a well-drained and otherwise first class flying field were brightened Tuesday with the announcement that a survey Is underway to improve the field in the near future. Action to develop the airport was taken by the industrial relations committee of the city council. Aid. Frank H. Thoman of this committee and a member of the city engineering department were to make the survey Tuesday.

Labor will be provided entirely from the lists of persons receiving welfare aid from the city, according to the plan announced by Alderman Thoman, and the expense of title and other materials to be used will be borne by the airport fund of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, amounting to approximately $1,200. To Drain Field, Add Runway Preliminary plans call for the con-' struction of the drainage sj'stem and development of another runway at the nirrjort. At Dresent the field has run- ways running east to west and north t0 EOUth- and the proposed strip would be from southwest diagonally across tlie field to the northeast.

The exact amount of money available in the Junior Chamber of Commerce's airport fund was not known by officers of the organization Tuesday, because of the fact that the proceeds from this year's air circus have not yet been fully determined. The proceeds from last year's circus amounted to $847. according to Charles Barber, president, but this amount was depleted by $240 this year for construction of a well. It was felt that water service of some sort was absolutely essential at the airport, and the improvement was completed a short year, air mail service in the past has often been suspended because of inability safely to land and take off. Through the establishment of a suitable drainage system, this fault will be removed, and the construction of one additional runway should make the ieId attractive to many pilots of other cities and states, local air cn- thusiasts believe.

Explosion after Man Runs from Alley PEOPLE STAY IN STREETS; Residents Are Afraid to Return to Homes; Police Officers Mystified DENVER.

Sept. 29 The explosion of a group oi" bombs, one of which endangered the lives of 50 children in a church school, occupied the attention of police here Tuesday. Six bombs in all were fired within a few hours of each other Monday night, resulting in the destruction of one home and a general panic in North Denver and two suburbs. The first three did no damage. Police originally ascribed the first reported explosion in Valverde.

to small boys, but abandoned this theory after a terrific blast rocked the Holy Family church in North Denver. Fifty members of a church school club dashed terrified from the building. The blast stopped the motion picture machine in the Oriental theater across the street and hundreds of theater patrons rushed for exits. Mrs. Mary Jackson, who lives near the church, told police she saw a 'stout man" leave a car, walk up a.

alley behind the church school and run out later, a second before the ex- plosion. A few minutes later a bomb blast! rocked a neighborhood a few blocks! distant, shattering vrindows and! knocking goods from store shelves fori several blocks around. Police were investigating these explosions when a fourth blast wrecked and set fire to a house owned by Custer Rand in Barnum, another suburb. Rand, who lived next door, could not be found Monday night. i After the bombing of Rand's i house, police and firemen learned of! two other explosions in the sparsely settled suburb earlier in the evening which made a great noise but did no damage.

Thousands of persons stayed in thej streets until daylight, afraid to re turn to their homes. Police reserves were held in all stations and firemen on leave were recalled to duty as the city hunted vainly for the bomb throwers.

The shooting is being investigated. The youth was Jack Sorenson. 20. who told officers before his death he had come to Detroit to drive back an automobile for a friend. He said he did not know he was running from a policeman and refused to give the name of a companion, seated with him in a parked car when the officers arrived, who escaped.

Two police crews hurried to Franklin and Riopelle streets late Monday on an underworld tip. broadcast over the police radio, that a saloon was to be hijacked. The officers said Sorenson and his companion, seated in an automobile near the intcrsecton, fled at their approach. Patrolman Earl Berry fired at Sorenson but missed. As the fleeing youth boarded a passing truck, Berry said he fired again.

Sorenson fell to the pavement, wounded in the back, the bullet passing just above his heart. At Receiving hospital, he first said his name was Hunt. Later, he gave his name as Sorpnson and said Hunt was the name of a relative living in Detroit. He denied any knowledge of a contemplated robbery.

29 HP) As the Brand jury investigation of the Katherine Keller case moved into its second day at county building, information has been disclosed that a recommendation may be made to have i the body of the late Darwin Z. Curtiss Ypsilanti municipal judge, removed from its vault for examination of the stomach contents. It was learned that although the immediate cause of death was given as pneumonia, officials on the grand jury inquiry may settle their dcXibts on the question by having the body examined for evidence of poison. The death of the late uncle to Miss Keller on Feburary 1, 1931. was sudden, and considerable speculation on the cause recently has been aroused.

It was intimated Tuesday by Judge George W. Sample that the inquiry-may last the remainder of the week. It is understood that Prosecutor Albert J. Rapp, Carl A. Lehman, his assistant, and Edward A.

Bilitzke are making no effort to unearth any evidence except that directly connected with the Keller case. Judge Sample has stated that should no true bill be returned I j1'; a pritncipal ill "4 Wl.

Mrs. Luella Smith, mother of Fred, was expected to take the stand Tuesday afternoon as was Mrs.

Hallie Hart. It also was reported as probable that George Peppiett and Mrs. Helen Twist, both of Ypsilanti, would be called to testify as to their acquaintanceship with Miss Keller and Smith. Two Salvation Army women were at the county building Tuesday and it was said they might be called late Tuesday afternoon. It was indicated that should a trip to Marquette branch prison be necessary for the purpose of interviewing David Blackstone, negro slayer.

Judge Sample would adjourn the inquiry until the interviewer returns. There is a strong probability that some official may go to Marquette, it was said.

The work is to consist of elimination of "dead ends" and the connection of mains to provide circulation of water. Most of the work will be short stretches of half a block or so. In some instances water mains extend for half a block or more and then end so there is no circulation of water. The program will provide for connection of such "dead ends" with other mains.
