EDITOR CLAIMS HARRY TO BLAME
Head of Young's Magazine Says Actress Trying To
 Shield Wealthy Man.

That the mysterious Harry" member of the Yale club in New York, is the father of Ann Porter's child, was the declaration of Attorney A. A. SkeeI of Stamford in the com mon pleas court today when he sought to defend Courtland H. Young, editor of Young's Magazine, who is being sued by Miss Porter. Attorney Skeel said Miss Porter has always shielded Harry and has blocked all efforts to learn the mans name. She admitted having been friendly with Harry befo1e she met Young, the lawyer claimed.
 Attorney Skeel also quoted medical testimony to bear out his contention that it would have been impossible for Young to be the father of the child. The girl, who is an actress by profession, alleged that she met Young in the Beaux Arts restaurant in New York and accompanied him to his bungalow in Stamford at his request Counsel for the girl argued today that Young is responsible for the child's support. Judge Walsh re- served decision in the case.

HOUSE PASSES
 BOXING BILL

Hartford. May 6-Expecting to complete it's business late in the day, the general assembly met today, prob ably for its last business session. Should the governor not adjourn the body sine die today. a recess will be taken until Thursday or a later date, and the members will be at the cap itol tomorrow for the centennial ob- servance and Co greet former mem bers whose numbers probably will exceed two thousand
 The governor will receive a very large number of bills for his con sideration, not as many as two years ago, however. and it is a possibility that a legislative recess will be neces- sary to afford him time in which to veto any bills which he does not care to approve. A recess until Friday of this week or until a day next week would give him margin of time and obviate the necessity of a so-calIed pocket veto.
 The boxing commission bill, which the Senate adopted, was amended in
 the House in fne relation to the ap-
 pointment of fhe commission by the
 governor. MT. Shirk, of Washington.

 grounds that IL was a pTlze IShIlnS
 bill MT Healy of Waterbury said ii
 was very easy to call it a prize fight ing bill, but that did not make it so. The motion to indefinitely postpone was lost MT. Shirk held his ground that it was a prize fighting bill, but the House adopted it.
 The attitude of the governor on this i measure is not known but some weeks ago, when the original bill was before 1 the Senate, which bill provided for 1 greater number of rounds and smaller l gloves, the report was current that the governor did not like such a bill The 50-hour bill for women and | minors in mercantile establishments, which the Senate adopted and the House rejected, became dead because | the lower branch insisted today on its
 rejection, and the Senate on its adop- ton.
