3 NEGROES HELD
 FOR KANE KILLING
Uncertainty as to Guilty One--
 Long Arms Damaging

New York, June f. (AP)-The stories of two new witnesses today caused the police to revert to their original theory that two men were involved In the murder of Miss Flor. ence Kane. whose mutilsted body was found in vacant lot near her home in Brooklyn last Friday.
 Frank and John Cardello, broth CTS, told police that they believed William Brassheld, negro janitor now held on a homicide charge in connection with the murder, was one of the men. They said pictures of him resembled a negro they observ- ed about 11:3o o'clock the night of the murder, apparently exchanging whistle signals with an unseen man near the spot where Miss Kane was killed,
 Christian Junker, a milkman, ear Her had told of seeing two men carry large bundle 10 the vacant lot where Junker later found Miss Kanes body.
 Miss Irene Coyne identified Brass field as the negro she saw near the scene of the murder, while her com panion Miss Helen Corners. thought he was the man but was not sure.
 However. three negroes are held in jail In connection with the mur" der. Police are still uncertain as to the identity of the slayer.
 One of the negroes, a long-armed giant, Brassfield, Is accused of homi- eide. The case against him is that he served seven years for attacking and robbing a woman 10 years ago; that he was identified by two young women as the man who accosted or attacked the mat or near the va cant lot where Miss Kane's battered body was found six days ago: that ie was a friend of Frank Kelly, negro executed for staying two worn- en in 1919; and that he wore cot ton gloves about his work.
 Miss Kane was strangled. Other young Brooklyn women who were attaCkeQ py Aesio as e0 '4i"' 4-~ had unusually long arms.
 pr. Alexander O. Gettler. city toT- cologist attaches significance 10 his discovery of human blood stains on pair of cotton gloves found near Miss Kane's body. Brassfeld's wife insisted he was at home in bed the night of the murder.
 Walter Johnson, negro vagrant is held on suspicion because his story of his movements on the night Of the crime contained discrepancies. Cal win Wood. friend of Johnson, is held as witness.
 A Brooklyn girl has informed the police that she has been accosted by 8 negro twice in the last 24 hours near the scene of the Kane murder

KIRBY CONFESSES
 MURDER AND ARSON
Was Drunk When He Killed
 Two Women

Augusta, Me-, June (AP)--Harry A. Kirby confessed through the bars of his cell in the Kennebec county jail here yesterday to County At torney Frank A. southard, that he killed Miss Aida Hayward, shot her aunt, Mrs. Emma M. Towns, and then set fire to their cottage at Lake Maranacook. Winthrop, on the night of May 10. in an effort to hide his crimes.
 Kirby said he was drunk when he entered Miss Hayward's cottage and shot down Mrs. Towns. He admit ted that his story of finding Miss Hayward's body in the woods and carrying 1t to the cottage be occu- pied was a lie. Instead. he said, he carried her to his house, after shooting her aunt, and left her there, bound and gagged. while he returned to set the cottage afire.
 He said he was still drunk the next day when he murdered Miss Hayward in his cottage by choking her to death because she scream ed.' Meanwhile, he admitted, he went back to the blazing cottage with the best of the townspeople and joined for a while In the hunt for the missing Hayward girl.
 Kirby said the confession was prompted by the plea of his wife. Later he dictated a story Of his life" including the confession, and sold 1t to newspaperman on con- dition that the proceeds go for the support of his wife and child.
 First tntimation that Kirby was ready to confess came when he asked that County Attorney South ard be sent for. The prosecutor reached the jail within half an hour and the prisoner greeted him with the words:
 I'm guilty of all the crimes you charged me with"
 While the county attorney lounged against the cell door, Kirby, slumped in his prison chair, unemo- tionally told his story. County At torney Southard said the confession was enough to send Kirby to prison for life here, but that if other states want to try him for other murders Of which he Is suspected he has the chair to fear.
 Kirby followed his confession with threat to kill himself and extra precautions will be taken to guard him.

VETS INSURANCE
 SHOULD BE IN
June ' Last Day for Filing
 Statements

Hartford. June (AP)-In con. nection with the intensive campaign now going on for the reistatemen' of government insurance on the part of disabled men who have disabili' ties which will tend to shorten their lives. Major T. J, Bannigan regiona manager, United States veterans bureau today announced the receipt of telegraphic communication from the director, Frank T. Hines al Washington, wherein it is stated that the completed application, plus medical examination and initial re- mittance must be in the hands of g representative of the veteran bu- reau, prior to June :, 1925.
 Therefore it becomes particularly urgent that all men who desire this insurance report to the bureau off ,cs in Hartford, New Haven and Bridge rort. at the earliest possible mo- ment. A number of officers and clerks have been especially detaile ] for this work in order that there may be no delay in waiting on the part of the applicant for reinstate- mcnt.
 The very great interest being tax II by the disabled ex-servicemen of this state in the reinstatement of lnsur- ance. is evidenced by the fact that ;he intensive campaign during the last three days has resulted in the reinstatement and conversion in the amount of s9oo,oOo. It s expected that the last minute rush of rein statement will bring the total over two million.

the permit to Mir, Kennedy and hence the granting of the permit by the building commission was strict ly in accordance with what is right. He said that Mrs. Yung. who is a life resident and hence in every re- spect the owner, though she cannot sell, of the property which defeated by a fraction of one per ceSt those endeavoring to prove that the build ing commission had acted illegally In granting the permit, was entitled to cast her vote, as an owner, in the case.
 Paonessa Reprimands Sexton
 Attorney Sexton drew repri- mand from Mayor Paonessa when he addressed the meeting and de- clared that the building commission was antagonistic from the start" to the aggrieved property owners. He persisted, however. in his conten- tion. modifying 1t to say. 'I consider ed the building commission antag- onistic."
 He said that the first vote of the property owners stood 20 to against the granting of the permit to Mir. Remedy. but declared that the commission refused to take &C., tion then. "The next day" he went on, they (the building commlssion) went out and dug up this new property owner tMrs. Yung) and her vote made it 20 to ', destroying by the tiniest fraction our 75 per cent" And this, he asserted, was not right, was Illegal.
 Councilman Bartlett then moved that the building commission be inr structed to withdraw Mir. Ken nedys permit. Alderman Judd ask ed that vote be taken on Council man Bartletts motion.
 Councilman Arthur N. Rutherford amended the motion to give the remonstrants leave to withdraw. and this amendment was carried, 19 to 6. And now, provided the law does not interfere, Mir. Kennedy has every right to proceed with the erection of his house.

loss of considerable money. After this, Councilman Bartlett's motion was passed.
 Want More Police in Fifth Alderman Stanley A. Karpinski presented a resolution for additional poAce protection especially at night time and in the fifth ward, where as the result of fight few nights ago. the father of family received injuries which later resulted in his death. Alderman Karpinski declar- ed that at this time of tho year, more than at any other time. such additional protection is absolutely vital. He asked that the resolution be referred to the police commission, and this was approved.
 Bactcriologist Resigns
 The board Of health reported the resignation of Mrs, Vera Broxon. bacteriologist, effective Saturday, June 6. and the appointment to the position of Leon Bradley at the pres ent salary, $500. Mir. Bradley is a graduate of Yale, Ph.D., and comes 10 New Britain well recommended, Mrs. Broxon will return 10 her home In Colorado.
 The claims committee recom- mended payment of $332,SO to Mrs. Bridget Murphy. 9S Commercial street, in settlement for q claim for damages for injuries received in fall ing on an alleged icy sidewalk on Center street. This recommendation was adopted. Mrs. Amanda E. Wal len of Warlock street. who claimed damages for injuries sustained in fall on an alleged icy driveway on Walnut Hill park the day of the eclipse, was given leave to withdraw.
 Kennedy Permit High Spot
 The Kennedy permit was the chief center of interest, and coun- cilmen. aldermen, commissioners and all interested forgot for the nonce the terrific heat which marched in scorching platoons up and down and across the stifllng chamber. Alderman Judd opened this hearing with question to the corporation counsel as to just what constitutes ownership. Judge Kirk ham in his reply declared that as the council was the body which adopted the ordinance which read 10 the effect that the building com mission must refuse building per init provided 75 per cent of the pro- perty owners residing within a rad jus of 500 feet of the proposed site demand its refusal, then the coun- cil itself and not the corporation counsel must explain its meaning.
 Judge William F. Mangan rep resented Mir. Kennedy, and argued that the case could not come up be- fore the common council as the sole right 10 issue building permit rested with the building commission subject to appeal to the court. The common council, Judge Mangan as- serted, 1t not a court and is not supreme in this matter.
 Judge Mangan also declared that 75 percent of the property owners did not object to the granting of
