HOLD RITES FOR SLAINWOMAN Wounding of Man Still Puzzle to Police in Lackey Case. Funeral services for Mrs. Grace ! Lackey, rooming house operator, ! whose body, with two bullet wounds I in the head, was found in a house! ; on Carson avenue Wednesday night, were to be held at 2 today in the Blasengym mortuary. Burial will be in Crown Hill. Charles Chapman, who was found in the same house, nearly frozen and with a bullet wound in his head,! still is in critical condition at city j hospital. While holding to the theory of ! murder and a suicide attempt, of- j ficials were puzzled over the fact that the only weapon found was an automatic pistol under the seat of Chapman's car, in which the body! of Mrs. Lackey was seated. The ga-1 rage is located in the basement of ! the house. Mrs. Lackey had been shot three times, and only three exploded car-! tridges were found. The house was being searched for the weapon which inflicted the wound in Chapman’s head. A printed note indicating the couple had entered into a suicide pact, signed with the names of both, j was found on a table in the house,! but Deputy Coroner E. R. Wilson said this inference was questionable.

A Cut-Up Sea Flier Tries Shaving; Lip Slashed.

By United Press Honolulu, t. h, Jan. 12. Lieutenant John Perry of Greenville, S. C., pilot of the 10P-5, which was separated for several hours from its five companions in the flight from California, thought so little of his predicament that he turned the controls over to an assistant and shaved before his arrival. Lieutenant Perry donned a fresh navy jacket and stepped from his plane to the concrete ramp. His natty appearance was somewhat marred by a cut lip. He was asked how he hurt his lip. “Why,” drawled the lieutenant, “I cut that while shaving this morning. “I didn’t have a mirror or a bowl, so I used a tomato can for a bowl and the lid for a mirror. I just was about to shave my lip when the plane hit a bump and I cut myself ”

EXPELLED OHIO STUDENTS DEFY MILITARY BAN Will Attend Classes, Say Seven Ousted for Refusal to Attend Drill. By United pr . COLUMBUS. O. Jan. 12.—Seven Ohio State university students who claimed they were ’’conscientious objectors" to military training and were expelled by President George W. Rightmire. said today they would defy authorities and attend regular classes. Their announcement brought to a crisis a situation that has been brewing at the university for a week. Among thirty-one students who protested against military tiaining on “conscientious” grounds, the seven still refused to participate after their objections were overruled . The board of trustees left their case in the hands of President Rightmire and he ordered them to leave the university at once. University authorities had not commented this morning on the students’ announcement that they would continue attending classes. No indication was given as to what means would be taken to enforce the expulsion order. Meanwhile, a group of Columbus pastors who have interested themselves in the students’ cause planned a meeting at noon. The solidity of the objectors’ case was shattered when two sympathizers with the seven chief objectors capitulated and agreed to begin military training today. It was
