 SHOT, SHE DECLARES
Kent Death Mystery May Prove to Be One of
 Suicide

Kent, May 3.-NIiss Jennie Barker at whose home Frederick N. Carter aged 19, whose body was found in the river here Monday had lived for several years, heard the shot which probably ended the lads life about nine o'clock Sunday night, April s or less than two hours after he left the house.
 Miss Barker, it was stated today, told Representative Howard Giddings of this town the next morning and asked him to go to the river bank and see if he could find Carter or Carter s body as she feared he had killed him. self. Mir. Giddings went to the river hank and searched but did not find the body.
 On the following Friday, it is now definitely stated, some railroad men, who had been putting out grass fires, found a shotgun with spot of blood near it on the river bank. Miss Bar ker later identified this gun as that belonging to Carter and which he had taken with him when he left the house on the Sunday evening before.
 MISS Barker, It IS Sldltu, tlouS ht that Carter between : and 2 o'clock on the Sunday evening was attending to his chickens and doing his usual chores and her attention was directed to his absence by the report of gun from the direction of the river
 Miss Barker who has been pros trated since the finding of Carter's body and the publicity given to her friendship with young Carter today was recovering from her illness, It was understood that she has stated that prior to Carter leaving tho house there had been no argument between herself and Carter. Their conversa- ton had been pleasant. The lad, however is said to have been in a somewhat moody frame of mind and Miss Barker had the impression whom she heard the report of a gun and having noted that Carter had taken his shotgun from the house that he had killed himself.
 The autopsy showed that the shot had been fired from a gun muzzle placed inside the vest. The shot broke the third and fourth ribs on the front and the eighth, ninth and tenth and 11th ribs on the back.

MAYOR TO GALL FORUM
 ON OL' SWIMMIN' HOLE
Will Be Guided by Will of People on Location
 of Pool

Mayor Paonessa issued statement today declaring that he would not take an arbitrary stand regarding the proposed swimming pool in North
 End park and would call public meeting for the purpose of discussing the location of the pool. Since he announced some time ago that the pool would be located in the North End park, many residents of Belyi- dere have remonstrated.
 The mayors statement follows:
 "Unmistakable opposition has arisen to the project of having a swimming pool in the North End park At first 1t seemed like a very small group was fostering this opposition; but now 1t has become substantial enough to warrant attention.
 Some ten years ago on visiting our surrounding cities I was impressed by the facilities for pleasure which they offered to their citizens in the way of bathing. Immediately after that I in- terested myself in the purchase of park sites one of my ideas being that some day we would be able to have DstlHihS poois'
 Tt is my opinion that we should have bathing pool and that we should have it at the North End park; but l do not forget that l hold my position in order to provide for the people of our city the things that they want in the way that they want them.
 If the people in the Belvidere sec ton do not really wish to have swimming pool in the North End park, and if their desire is in accord with the best interests of our city as whole it would be a rash official in deed who would attempt to force it on them. Yet we should have a swim ming pool. If I were interested only in getting the pool in the North End park it would be a very easy matter to simply wait for the sweltering heat of the summer to cause the people to rise up and demand it; but now is the time to prepare for the sum- mer and now is the time to decide what is to be done so that everything will be in readiness when summer arrives.
 Tn order that I might know the desires of the community it is my tn- tention to call public forum to dis cuss this matter and to invite those interested to take part in the dis cussion and to lend their ideas This public meeting should be attended by from all parts of our city because those living in the South end may be more strongly opposed to having a pool in the North End park then those living in Belvidere.
 "E'urthermore, if this meeting de- termnes the most logical place for a good. sanitary, and adequate swim ming pool and its plan is reasonable all the circumstances, I would abide by the result and work for the consummation of its plan the pool is to be in the North End park, South End park, Walnut Hill park or any other place | available.
 'I am also assure the citizens that | their board of park commissioners is just as anXious for the most satis- factory settlement of this question as | am, and will bend their energies toward working out to completion the ! plan which will give the greatest re- lief and enjoyment to the greatest ! number of our citizens"

Of this city for a writ of habeas corpus by which she would become the guardian ot Dor othy Evermon. or Eyerment, aged i0 and white. now In the custody of Rev. Dr, J. F.. Klingberg, superintendent of the children's Home. The plain tiff was represented by George W. Crawford. q colored lawyer Of New Haven. The defense was represented by Corporation Counsel John F.. Kirk ham and Attorney Donald Gaffney. The question was decided on points of law rather than on facts.
 Point Hinged On Probate Court
 Attorney Crawford presented the clam that mother of the child is still alive and that, therefore, the probate court. in New Britain, was without Jurisdiction when it appointed Rev. Dr, Klingberg guardian Of the girl
 Attorney Gaffney denied that the mother was alive and as proof that Judge E. F. Gaffney of the probate touil dIlth hlhbiil "utho'''s III appointing Rev. Dr. klingberg guar dian of the child, quoted Section 4S63 of the Revised Statutes of 1918, which says; When any child under the age of 14 years has no parent or guardian of his person, the court of probate for the district in which such child resides may on its own motion appoint guardian of the person of such child"
 Claimed Mother is Alive
 The plaintiffs lawyer offered to pro- duce evidence that the mother is still living, but Attorney Gaffney objected on the ground that the action before the court was for writ of habeas corpus, an extraordinary remedy. and that the plaintiff had two other or dinary remedies to upset the decis- ion of the probate court, either an appeal to the superior court from that decision or a petition to the pro-

SHOT FROM PATROL
 HALTS RUM RUNNER
Coast Guard Activity Results in
 Flight Of Booze Fleet
SMUGGLERS ARE ON THE RUN
Wherever They Go They Will Find Coast Guard Cutter on the Job, Government officials Say as Drive Is Launched.

New York, May S.--The flight of the Jersey rum fleet during the night was believed to be due to the action of the coast guard cutter Seneca in sending four inch shot across the bows of a small smuggling craft to bring her to a halt.
 The Seneca opened fire yesterday afternoon. it was announced today at coast guard headquarters, after two small runners scooting along between the fleet and shore had defled a signal to halt. The Seneca ordered by Washington to join in the constant patrol of the fleet mounts heavier guns than the small cutters.
 Haze Hides Activity
 Haze today shrouded the operators of the rum fleet off Sandy Hook which began breaking up last night under the force of a three ccrnered drive directed by the government against liquor smugglers.
 Seizure of supply boats putting out from New York, the placing of a coast guard patrol about the fleet and re- inforcing of shore forces watching for landed rum proved too great handicap for two of the biggest units of the fleet yesterday. The British tanker Wars2awa and the yacht lstar sailed out to sea shortly before dusk.
 Much Hustling Noted.
 Signs of activity had been noted aboard another small steamer and the four schooners which made up the rest of the rum TOW, but whether these vessels had left the anchorage they found so profitable for months could not be learned this morning.
 Speculation was rife along the water front as to whether the fleet had actually given up in the face Of the prohibition enforcement spring drive or merely had departed for some other bit of coast where they figured opposition would prove less effective.
 Not safe Anywhere
 Coast guard officials however, de- clared that they had the rum fleet on the run and that no matter where the units go they will find u coast guard cutter on the job.

Bill Hitting Directly at Medical Board Proposes Admission of Dr. Moriar- ty to Practice.

Hartford. May s.--The house today ili to 10 voted to postpone indefinite ly the resolution Of Representative Ayers tdem.l Westport, to place the general assembly on record or en- dOrsing the attitude of President Harding on the world court Of justice,
 There was long debate on the resolution which w9s not una nimousy supported by the joint committee OH federal relations but which was re- ported with majority. No minority report was offered.
 The committee reported a substi- tute resolution commenting the presi- dent of the United States for his ad- vocacy Of participation in the perma- nent court of international justice but the resolution was changed so as not to request the United States sen ators or the representatives in con eress to use their votes either for or against it.
 Southwich in Favor
 Mir Southwick of Cornwall, house chairman of the federal relations committee. called the resolution from the table and said he was constrained to say that the committee was d. vded as to the propriety of reporting the resolution and also as to it's use fitness. He said he favored the reso- lution.
 Mir. Ayers of Westport, who intro- duced the petition that the resolution be adopted, spoke briefly for the reso- lution.
 Mir. Pierrepont of Ridgefeld and Mr. Brinsmade of Washington spoke in support of the resolution.
 Don't Want to Butt In
 Mir. Averill of Branford spoke against if on the ground that the representatives in congress know more about the situation than the Connecticut house of representatives.
 Minority leader Fenton took issue with Mr. Averill on the question of whether or not the state of Connecti- cut was interested in the matter.
 Mir. Bell of Salisbury said he would voteagainst the resolution because if the state of Connecticut voted for the resolution it would be construed that the state of Connecticut favored the league of nations.
 Mir. Buckley argued that these ques- tions were those for the federal gov ernment and not for state legislatures
 The debate was closed by MT Southwick who said the resolution was trying to crystalize opinion through the legislature. He said there was no taking of sides for or against Senator Brandegee or Senator Nc Lean. Mir. Southwick said the resolu-
