SUIT INVOLVES RULE OF PARK. ZONING BOARDS Judge Weir Studies Briefs on Plea for Retrial of Jurisdiction Case. Briefs requesting anew trial on one of the most important cases in which the city zoning board ever has been involved, were being studied today by Superior Judge Clarence E. Weir. Ruling of Judge Weir has aroused a neighborhood fight over erection of a filling station at the southwest corner of Delaware street and Fall Creek boulevard. Albert Stump, attorney for the zoning board, declared at a hearing on motion for anew trial Tuesday "that the ruling had tied hands of that board.”

Jurisdiction Is Basis Jurisdiction of the zoning and park boards in granting building permits, is basis of the ruling. Judge Weir recently held that when jurisdiction of the two boards conflicts, the zoning board jurisdiction prevails. He held the zoning board should issue a permit to Mrs. Mary Stanford allowing her to erect a filling station. Sumner A. Clancy, attorney for property owners, opposing the erection; Stump and Nathan Swaim, park board attorneys, demanded the new trial. Suit Now Pending A suit to mandate the zoning hoard to issue the permit in accordance with Judge Weir’s ruling now is pending in superior court one. Mrs. Stanford’s attorneys argued her property was not suitable for erecting of a dwelling house or apartment building, as set out and requested in the park board ordinance. Stump argued Judge Weir had no right ‘‘to go into the unreasonableness qf the zoning act.” Clancy demanded that his clients, who had filed an intervening petition opposing the permit to Mrs. Stanford be made parties in the ease. Judge Weir told them he would rule on the new trial motion after studying the briefs.

CITE COP FOR VALOR Morton to Get Medal for Bravery in Rum Gun Battle. The safety board today agreed to allow Northwest Police Journal to award a medal of valor to Harold Morton, motorcycle policeman, who captured an alleged rum runner after a gun battle with the boot-legge-d and an accomplice last week. Police Chief Mike Morrissey said he would recommend similar recognition of the bravery of Detective Sergeant Charles Bauer, who was wounded in a battle with the slayers of Lafayette A. Jackson, grocery magnate, last summer. The board suspended James J. Hayes, patrolman, for conduct unbecoming an officer. “Hoover” Station Bankrupt Py United Press D’LO, Miss., Sept. 23.—A “bankrupt” sign hung today over one designating a filling station as “The Herbert Hoover.” The station was opened in 1928 and appealed to Republican patronage.

MRS. GOLLINGS IS CLEARED AS DEATHSUSPECT District Attorney Announces He Has Changed Opinion in Piracy Case. By United Press HUNTINGTON, L 1., Sept. 23. Mrs. Benjamin P. Collings has been cleared of suspicion in the murder of her husband aboard the yacht Penguin in Long Island sound as far as District Attorney Alexander G. Blue of Suffolk county is concerned. Blue, whose first announcement when he took charge of the investigation was that he believed the comely red-haired widow was not telling the truth, announced his changed opinion after a lengthy conference with Flix Di Martini, private investigator, who spent all day Tuesday questioning Mrs. Collings. Authorities renewed their search today for a maniac and a youth who fitted the descriptions of the man who killed Collings. The prosecutor annouced he was

searching Manhattan for a paroled maniac. Mrs. Collings described the leader of the two men as a person between 40 and 50, powerfully built, closely cropped hair which was either white or very light, a large nose and unusual eyes. Blue said the new suspect answered the description, but that so many “tips” on the case had “gone sour” he was not overly optimistic. Mrs. Collings underwent the second successive day of questioning at her home in Stamford, Conn., Tuesday, when she continued telling her story to Di Martini, an investigator famed for his work in connection with the famed Hall-Mills case of New Jersey. In the account to Di Martini it was revealed for the first time Mrs. Collings struggled with the pirates when they first attacked her husband, but was overpowered and warned she would be killed unless she stopped fighting.
