Will Contain Team Rooms and
1900 Lockers.

New Haven, March 23.--The new
s350,0O0 Lapham field house for

wish to with the prospect of head
quarters near at hand. Men taking
part in the different branches of
sport will have their common meet
ing place in. the lounge room. This
close contact of all teams and of all

make for healthier and broader ath-

fashioned not merely for architect
ural beauty but for practical rse., The
exterior with long high porticoes up
on each principal facade with gables
at each end, and several unbroken
roof areas and a. massive rhifnuny
stack, makes a design full or dignity.

MCBRYNE And HIS GIRL
ENTER MURDER MYSTERY
This Couple May Play Important Part
in Solution OF the Chloroform
Staying.

New York. March 23.-Two more
characters today were added to the
rapidly increasing cast of the Doroth,
Keenan, murder drama.
They were listed as "McBryne and
his girl" They were asked to call on
Police Inspector Coughlin to confirm
reports that they had breakfasted
with Alfred Guimares close friend of
the slain model, in his room in a local
hotel, on the morning that Miss
Keenan's cholorotormed body was
found in her West 57th street apart
ment.
According to the police, McBryne,
a friend of Guimares is the only per-
son found so far who can testify that
he was in the hotel between . a. III.
and S.15 a. m. on the day of the
Staying. The murder is believed to
have occurred after 8 a. m.
McBryne has told the police that
three breakfasts were brought to Gui-
mares room. A waiter however has
stated he carried only two trays.
The identity of "Mr. Marshall of
Boston the elderly admirer of the
dead model who was in her apartment
on the eve of her murder, still re-
mains secret. Vaudeville comedians
have begun bantering with the alias.
A police official confirmed a previ-
ous story of Assist. Dist. Attorney
Pecora that Marshall" won his
claim to fame solely through mar
riage. This official said Marshall
was neither so wealthy or socially
prominent as was generally believed
but that distinction attached to his
wife and her family and for this
reason his name was being withheld.

new CHARTER Change
CAUSES DISCUSSION
Messrs. Covert, Alling and
Christ Want Time to
Study It.

Hartford, Conn. March 23.-Noth-
ing short Of commotion was pre-
cipitated this morning at the capitol
when Representative Alling of New
Britain appeared with a charter
amendment relative to the creating OF
a garage commission for the city Of
New Britain.
All three of the New Britain dele
gates expressed embarrassment be-
cause of the lateness of the amend
ment especially since the Legislative
committee on cities and boroughs had
a hearing. and had practically made
its report for the activities of both
houses of the legislature.
Asked for an opinion this morning
Representative Alling said that the
amendment had been given him By
Corporation Counsel Kirkham and
that he had not had time to think
about it.
Senator Covert expressed surprise
and later Indifference but said he
would do whatever his colleagues
wished in presenting the amendment
He said that should the amendment
be presented it would necessitate a
request being made to the cities and
borough committee to hold up for
the time being.
Representative Christ also said that
he had not time to give the matter
due attention and that he wished time
to consider the merits of the amend
ment. He also wanted time, as did
the other three New Britain legisla-
tors, to crystalline the opinion of his
constituents.
After consultation Of the delega-
ton it was the consensus among the
New Britainites that nothing should
be done until next Tuesday at which
time a decision would be made wheth-
er or not to put the amendment in for
the committees consideration.
Chairman Park of the cities and
boroughs committee said he wanted
to see the amendment before COM
mitting himself.
