RETURN TO CLASSES
Investigation into Athletic
Affairs Is Started.

By United Press
ANDERSON, Ind, Feb. o.
Striking Anderson high school
pupils returned to classes today,
assured that the schools athletic
department will be investigated
thoroughly.
Nearly 90 per cent of the pupils
paraded through downtown streets
Monday in protest to conditions
which resulted in Anderson's
suspension from the Indiana High
School Athletic Association.
The suspension deprived Ander-
son of chance to qualify Tor the
state basketball tournament.
Banners demanding the resigna-
ton Of Principal j. L. Thalman and
charging school officials with max
ing "a business out of high school
basketball" were carried by the
striking students.
Anderson used an ineligible player
during the first semester and had
to forfeit all but four of its games.
Previously, an attempt had been
made to divide a percentage of gate
receipts from athletic contests
among the coaches.
Mayor Harry Baldwin appointed
a citizens committee to investigate
conditions and asked the state board
of accounts to audit the athletic de-
partment books.

Refugees Fired On

YEHPEISHOU Cat the front with
the Chinese troops-by courier to
Lingyuan), Feb. 28.-This sprawling
village of mudhouses, which has be-
come strategic point in the Chi
nese defense of Chengtehiu, capital
of Jehol, was showered today with
japanese bombs, forerunners of an
expected klurderous bombardment
by air and long range guns.
Crouching in a dugout outside the
headquarters of Colonel Fan Ching
Chun, who commands the Chinese
regiment, I watched explosives drop
over the unsheltered territory. Most
OF them exploded harmlessly in open
ground.
One of the bombs fell dangerously
close to the dugout but failed to ex-
plode. Officers examined it and
found it was a six-inch trench NOR
tar shell, evidently taken from the
ammunition stores Of the Mukden
arsenal
1t was evident from this fact that
the Japanese have been forced to
the recourse of using these captured
shells as aerial bombs.
Another bomb falling while I was
training binoculars on the district
wounded two women, a man and
a child, despite Japanese assur-
ances that the peasant populace
would not be harmed.
Shortly after this incident, I saw
a japanese airplane Swoop over tho
highway, and turn it's machine guns
on carts bearing peasant refugees
out of the district.
The Chinese commanders say that
such attacks occur daily on Jehol
highways.

CRIME RECORD
Strange Staying, Weird
Bombing Are Aired in
Chicago Courts.
BY JOHN B. MILLER
United Press Stan C1rresnnndcnt

NAAAtN L AN-o oteA N'AANSbpAht ~
CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-Ghosts fit
ted through a courtroom and a for
tune tellers predictions appeared
near fulhllment today as two
creepy chapters had beeen written
into annals of crime in Chicago.
While efforts we're made to select
jury in the "ghcst trial" of Mrs.
Ella Hopkins and DR.. Lester I. Of
ner, police arrested Vera Carl, wild
ow, and four men in connection
with the strange Staying Of George
Carl last July 26.
Mrs. Hopkins and Offner are
charged with conspiring to bomb a
filing station across the street from
the house where the woman's In
dian husband, Lafayette Hopkins,
died
Warned Wife Not to Sell
The state contends that Chief
Lafayette warned his wife before he
died never to sell the house.
Lafayette's father had hanged
himself there Lafayette told his
wife, it is commended, that his faith
er's ghost liked to roam in the
house and that he planned to make
it his own happy hunting ground"
also
Mrs. Hopkins sold the house, how
ever, and vent to Washington D.
C. The state contends she later
tried to buy back the property from
William Lambert and, failing, hired
James Demilio to bomb Lamberts
oil station in the hope of driving
Lambert away so that her husband
and his father could do their
haunting" unmoiested.
Fortune TelIer's Warning True
The Carl case also has its eerie
aspects. After Carl was killed his
widow said a fortune teller had
foretold his Staying.
Inc fortune CelieT, she Sdlu, HdU
turned three cards predicting death,
widowhood, and justice. The first
two predictions came true within
few days.
Police charged today that Joseph
Tess killed Carl as the climax of a
plot conceived by four others. The
plan, it is charged, was for John
Grilec to sell Carl an insurance
policy, Fess to kill Carl, Edward
Veselka to dispose of the weapon,
and John Milosic to marry the
widow and help her spend the
$4,000 insurance money.
Police said Milosic, Fess, Grilec
and Veselka signed confessions. Mrs.
Carl denied the charges.
