No, my investigation soon CON

KNEW USE or GUN

Sir Harry was in excellent phys

prospected from the Klondlke 10
the Konge knew what 10 do with
gun.
But the gun and the money were
still undisturbed when the body
was found. Sir Harry had not
been satisfied merely 10 place a
revolver near his bed. He seldom
slept in the same bed more than
a few nights in row!
He had slept in al least three
different rooms within brief
span of nights. Why? The IN

be located on a three block piece
of land bound by Beaubien. Fred
erick, St. Antoine. Farnsworth.
Hastings and Theodore streets.
the Board of Education revealed
today.
The site was approved by a
five 10 one vote of the board, the
only dissenting vote being cast by
board member Frank A. German.
who said that such action was
premature because board MEM
bers had only one week in which
TO study the question.
53-ACRE AREA
Besides the three blocks TO be
acquired Immediately, the board
recommended that 53-acre area
bound by Warren, Brush, Hastings
and Ferry be earmarked for ulti-
mate completion of the entire
medical science center.
The area decided upon was one
of three suggested sites. The first
considered was in Memorial Park,
adjoining the Whittier Hotel, and
the second was directly north OF
the present Wayne University
building
DR.. Edgar II. Norris, dean OF
the university medical school, told
the board that haste was essential
in choosing the site because pros
pective donors must beat the
Jan. / income tax deadline.
TAX DEDUCTABLE
IL went to Washington and
got approval from the treasury
department for persons and cor
porations to deduct from their
taxable incomes any donations
to the medical CENTER" DR..
Norris said. I'VE are expecting
a number Of large donations and
they must be made before
Jan. I.
81 have always been strongly
in favor of this medical CENTER"
German said. ''but did not hear
of this new site until week
ago. 1 do not think this board
should decide an issue involving
$50, 900, 900 on a weeks notice.
IL know of at least three per-
sons who would have donated to
Wayne University In the past II
there had been any definite pro-
gram for them to donate to-"
board president Burt r. Shurly
said. "but we missed the boat
and they took their money TO
Ann Arbor. That will happen
again IL we are not ready"
