Rotary Will
Start Series
of Lectures

The first forum of the Institute
OF International Understanding
sponsored by the Rotary Club of
Ypsilanti, will be in Ypsilanti High
School at s o'clock Sunday evening.
Samuel d. Rosen will be the
speaker. His subject will be Rus
sia-East and West. Mr.. Rosen
will also talk to the students Of
the Roosevelt. Lincoln and Ypsi.
lanti High Schools Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Rosen was born and reared
in village on the Dnieper River
in Southeast Russia. After com
pletion of the course at the high
school in a neighboring town, he
attended the New Russian Uni
versity in Odessa until his grad
uation. He was then drafted into
the Army for service in the Russo
japanese War.
After returning from the Army
he migrated to America. His ear.
ly struggles to establish himself in
the New World intensified his de-
sire for further education, which
he was able TO crafty first by
attending the Y.M.C.A. College in
Chicago and then by doing post
graduate work at the University
of Chicago and Northwestern Uni
versity.
His eventual business success
made It possible for him to visit
his native land in 1880 to observe
and judge the changes that had
come to it since the Revolution.
He made three more trips to Rus
STA during the next decade, each
using his ability to speak the Ian.
guage fluently as means for ex-
tensive social, political. and eco
nomic studies.
This will be the first OF a SER
les of four Institute programs pre-
sented by the Rotary Club as a
service to the community. The
other three programs are sched-
uled for Feb. 4th. 18th and 18th.

pies OF the world can become CON
scious OF their inter-relatedness
and can get together in neighborly
fashion, the resulting good will

them long way on the road to uni
versal peace.
The prominent speakers pre-
sented by the Institutes discuss
world affairs in a factual and in.

tive is to furnish material which
may be used as a background so
that the members of the audience
may form their own opinions.

Clues
Being Sifted
by Officers

Lansing. Mich. Jan. 20-AP -
The hunt for the slayer of Senator
Warren G. Hooper settled down to.
day to a logged and systematic
sitting OF hundreds of clues and
tips.
Latest development was the find
ing OF a .3S calibre revolver in a
pile of waste-paper delivered to the
River Raisin Paper Company at
Monroe in a shipment from Detroit.
II was reported the gun, a nickel
plated, short-barreled revolver, con.
tanned five bullets.
Hooper was slain by three shots
fired from a .SS Colt revolver &C.
Cording TO state police.
The Staying of Hooper on the
night OF January IL was officially
proclaimed by six man coroner's
jury in Jackson Friday to have
been the act of "a person or per-
sons unknown"
Instant Death
DR.. Charles Z. Black, Lansing
pathologist who conducted the au.
topsy on Hooper's body the night
he was slain on a lonely Jackson
County road, said one bullet which
entered the top OF the victims
head and lodged under his right
ear would have caused instant
death.
Two others-one entering under
the left eye and passing out under
the right ear, and the other enter
ing below the left ear and lodging
under the right shoulder blade
would have stunned Hooper. Black
said, but probably would not have
caused immediate death.
He testified that one of the shots
was fired from a distance of APP
proXimately six inches and appar.
emily passed through the victim S
hat.
Black said Hooper was dead be-
fore a fire started on the front
seat of his car and charred a part
OF the body.
close Call
The inquest highlighted how
close call police had in preserv.
ing anv clues of the Staying.
Floyd 5. Modjeska, Springport
elevator operator who found the
body, testified that he was afraid
to open the Hooper car door after
he saw bullet hole in the window.
The car was filled with smoke, he
said. Kyle Van Auker, Eaton Rapids
clerk who reached the death scene
next, likewise hesitated to open the
door.
Meryyn B. Howard OF Lansing,
travelling passenger agent for the
Great Lakes Greyhound Lines,
testified it was he who convinced
the others the car should be op-
ened. that he pulled the body from
the car to save 1t from further
burning and that he and the other
two witnesses used the rear seat
of Hooper's car as barricade to
prevent the muddling OF a series
of footprints which led away from
the drivers seat OF that car.
