imal suddenly darted through an opening in the foundation of a new house under construction nearby.
 Its a fox." shouted Miss Kris topik, calling her brother Edward, who was working on the new house. Mir. kristopik and the two women armed with rocks entered the cellar of the new house. where the fright ened fox was racing around, vairiy trying to find a means of escape. Rocks began to fly in his direction until the trapped animal soon was the center of a veritable bombarl- ment Finally a well aimed missie thrown by Mir. kristopik struck him on the tip of the nose and stunned hinI so that he dropped unconscious.
 The fox recovered shortly after wards in an iron barrel where he was confined until Mir. Kristopik had com pleted a pen. Today he rests on a bed of old carpets with some
 
 | water but confined behind the bars through which he looks to a nearby chicken coop as he contemplates the misdeeds which landed him in tho tolls. MT. Kristopik will visit the fox farm near Berlin this afternoon to learn how to care for foxes, as he intends to build a run and raise him for a pet

that this is . prerequisite.

that this is . prerequisite.
 Included among the cases cited in support of this argument is To- cal petition in which Jennie Azukas sought to have Inspector Ruther- ford ordered to issue a permit for a two-family house on Brady avenue.
 The brief further sets forth that a mandamus can issue only when a legal right has been established and not for the purpose of creating such a right. It is claimed that the ordin- ances prohibit gasoline filling sta- tions under the conditions which ex- ist in this case. and that the inspec- tor would violate the law if he were to allow such a building in the zone. For that reason. it is pointed out. no legal right existed and the in- spetcor cannot be ordered to com init an illegal act.
 That the greater restriction in in- dustrial zones than exists in resi- dence districts is not unconstitution- al is argued from the standpoint of the zoning enabling act which per mits the city to create such zones and impose such restrictions as 1t sees fit
 Denies Discrimination
 With reference to the admission by Alderman David l.. Nair that the provisions of the industrial zones were drafted with the thought in mind that no gasoline filling station should be allowed on the Standard Oil Co. plot, Judge Kirkham sets forth that there is no evidence that this thought was in the minds of the majority of common council mem- bers when the act was created.
 The argument of the applicant that the ordinance is discriminatory in that it affects no plot but that of the oil company is attacked by list ing the public buildings which are located within 200 feet of industrial l districts. thereby restricting the in dustrial zones with reference to gas stations. Those number more than a dozen.

X.RAYS INDICATE {. ].
 SHOOTING MURDER
MoorStoVn Dah Cannot Be
 Suicide, Doctors Declare

Philadelphia, June g UP)-The Philadelphia Daily News in a copy right article today said that X-ray photographs in the Cooper hospital at Camden, N. J., established def initely" that Horace Roberts. Jr, of Moorestown, was murdered in the bedroom of his one-time sweetheart. Ruth Mowdray Wilson.
 The couple was found fatally shot in Miss Wilson's bedroom early last Sunday morning. The case was held at first to have been murder and suicide but new investigation was ordered yesterday after dissat- isfaction with the early finding had been expressed.
 Show Three Bullet Wounds
 The Daily News article said in part:
 The negatives, taken in the hos- pital shortly after Roberts was ad- mitted there Sunday night last, show the entrance and exits of three bull let holes in the head
 Two are, Tn medical terms, oc- cipital with the point of entry in the back of the head while the third is frontal, with the point of entry at the right temple.
 "rhe uppermost hole of the two at the back of the skull is surrounded by depressed fracture of the skull, demonstrating conclusively that the bullet entered at this point.
 This hole is we'll up on the back of the head, in line about two inches from the top of the right ear. It is a physical impossibili.y for a human being to fire shot into his own brain from this point.
 Second Nearer Ear
 "The second occipital wound is hollow and slightly nearer the ear. Very minute signs of depressed fracture of the skull can be seen sur rounding this hole on the X-rav negative.
 The path of the bullet taken in the frontal wound at the temple would not cause instantaneous death. If Roberts fired the first bullet frorl the .22-gun into his temple,
 
 claims the most logical suicidal point, he would have been rendered unconscious and unable to fire two more bullets into his brain from an impossible position in the rear of his head. Any one of these wounds shown by the N-ray would have do.ed him, making any of the other two impossible.
 "The slayer. it is presumaG by examiners, killed Roberts by firing two bullets into the back of the head and then. apparently to make it ap- pear as though death was suicidal. fired third shot into the temple" The Daily News then goes on to say that Roberts was lief: handed and that the gun was found loosely claspeG in his right hand.

BRIEFS SUBMITTED
 IN LEGAL DISPUTE OVER GAS STATION
Continued from First Page)

tember 16. 1925, the zoning ordi- nance was adopted. placing this plot in the industrial area: where not fronting on street, the property is bounded by land of the American Hardware corporation, and it is more than 100 and less than 200 feet from the Emmanuel Gospel church; Alderman David l.. Nair and Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford ad- mittcd to the court that the ordi- nance was prepared in such way as to prohibit gasoline business on this plot, and Thomas Linder. chair man of the zoning committee, ex- pressed a belief that this is the only industrial plot within 200 feet of church; applications for building permits were made in 1924 and in 1927. and rejected on both occa- sions: appeal 10 the board of ad- Justment is provided, but court de- cisions fix 30 days as the time limit for appeal; the board of adjustment. considering an application for special exception. took the stand that it was powerless and instead, voted to recommend change Of zone. which was tabled by the coun- cil; last January an amendment to the ordinance was sought and the board of adjustment so recommend ed but the common council re- jected the change.
 Says Appeal Limit Has Expired The brief sets forth that. although the petitioner cannot build a gaso- line filling station. such a business can be established directly across the street. the same distance from Ihe church. It is argued that the litigation having held up the case two years, if there was a right of appeal to the board of adjustment. the time limit has long since eX- pired.
 Touching upon the constitution ality of the act, the brief sets forth that the board Of adjustment is not a judicial board and cannot pass on the constitutional question. It goes Gn to say:-
 'The real grievance Of the peti- l toner in this case is the nnconsti- tutionality of the ordinance in that | it is discriminatory and denies the | petitioner the equal pI otection of the l laws. It is not even arguable that such a lay administrative board can pass upon constitutional questions and declare an ordinance unconsti-
 iutional. Can counsel for the re- | spondent in his right mind. argue
 that such an appeal is adequate" | Arguing further than the board
 of adjustment is without power
 the brief declares: What the re-
 .ator wants is not hearings before a
 board that cannot even consider the question the realtor raises. Why chase the devil around stump:
 What the r2lator wants is q permit
 This court alone can grant relief
 Attorney Gaffney also quotes iron numerous cases involving zonins questions and mandamus actions.
 Judge Kirkham's Brief
 Judge Kirkhams brief covers
 more than 30 typewritten pages and
 contains scores of legal citations
 bearing on mandamus actions and
 Zoning actions.
 He submits that the Standard Oil Co. is without legal right to ask an
 order for issuance of the permit on
 the ground that appeal has never
 been taken to the board of adjust
 ment from the ruling of the building
 inspector and the argument is made

 Popular Mind Religious
 T believe there is more religion in the popular mind today than ever. despite the difficulties of Pro- testant churches in maintaining public worship. We're still in the period of rethinking our world. There was never great war not followed by a tide of confusion.
