STREET NAME CHANCE
 BEFORE PLAN BOARD
Brady Avenue Residents Wish to Join Presi-
 dential Group

A sharp departure from the or hearings before the city plan which usually concern changes in highway layouts or ac- ceptarce of plans for new land de- is expected tomorrow night at s o'clock when arguments for and against the proposed change in the name of Brady avenue, to Tyler street, will be heard.
 Residents and property ownyrs along that thoroushfarc have asked the change to complete the ."Presi- dential District, many other streets ln the locality bearing the names of former presidents, including Cool idge. Harding. Monroe and Adams. If the street is named in honor of President Tyler, it will add another to this group and will create To- cality to which strangers may easily be directed, proponents of the idea argue.
 The opponents, who are numerous and vigorous in their opposition. say that the street was named in honor of a distinguished citizen who served New Britain iH various important roles. The late Thomas H. Brady whose name the street now bears. was an alderman in the first com mon council elected in this city. He served under tho first mayor, Fred crick T. Stanley, in 1871, and under the second mayor, Samuel w. Hart, in 1872.
 In later years he entered state pol itics as democratic candidate for senator, and in 2 memorable election day fight was elected over Orson F. Curtis. A protest followed and liti- gation resulted. but MT. Brady was declared the victor and was sent to the general assembly.
 From 1895 to 1905 he was a mem- Der of the, board of police commis- sioners.
 Mir. Brady's most far-reachinG work was as a member Of the board of water commissioners. from 1S'S to 1882. He was . close friend and fellow commissioner of the late Philip Corbin, and they worked to- gether in many Of the projects which ,esulted in creation of this city's municipal water supply.
 This is the second attempt 10 ef. feet a change in the street name When it first reached the common council. several months ago, Council- man Frank L. Conlon promptly mov- ed that the petition be tabled. and it was so-eoted. Petitioners rensw- cd their campaign for a hearing and Councilman Conlon, while not changing his attitude of opposition agreed.

HUNTINGTONS STRIP
 DEAD STUDENTS ROOM
Brother and Sister Take
 His Effects From Harvard

Cambridge. Mass. May 3 (R-The ton, Harvard junior. who was found dead from a bullet wound in Wind- sor, Conn.,, yesterday. was bare to- day except for few pieces of fur niture.
 Clark Chester Huntington and Miss Mary Huntington. brother and siste rof the dead student. visited his room in Drayton hall last evening and removed his belongings. tnclud- ing books. papers, pictures and clothing. These they loaded in their automobile and drove away, sup- posedly for their home in Windsor.
 Their visit was a surprise to the Cambridge police, who said that or ders had been given for special lock and seal on the door of the dead students room so that the con- tents would be undisturbed until Windsor authorities investigating the students death had had a chance to exhmine them.
 The lock had not been changed. however. when Clark and Mary Huntington drove up to the domi- tory. went to their brothers room on the top floor and opened the door with a key. They packed several suitcases and bags which they load ed into their automobile and then made another trip up stairs. return ing with more bundles of clothing and books.
 After the police learned of their visit special officer was stationed at the front door of the dormitory and allowed no one to enter except students who lived there. Cambridge police, who earlier had visited Huntington's room. said they had discovered nothing among his be- longings that would throw light on his death.
 Examination marks announced to. day showed that Huntington receiv. ed a rating of "A" for an examina- ton taken in education last Satur. day. This was cited by friends as an additional reason for believing he did not commit suicide.

Wheeler, Pawtucket high school teacher. who later was sentenced tc three years and six months in state prison on charges of improper re. lations with her.

 Sued by Mother of

John Carbo. president of the Carbo Brick Co. of Berlin, who is on the ocean returning from a sojourn In Italy, was today named defend- ant in a 31o.0oO suit brought against him by Mrs. Kathryn starzec, ad- MinistrAtrix of the estate of her son. ltan1ey starzec. who lost his life last November in a we'll on the premises of the brick company.
 The writ. issued by Attorney AL bert A. Greenberg relates incidents leading up to the fatal accident from the time the Starzec1 leased a house from the defendant in Sep tembtr. 1921. on premises adjoining the brick yard. The lease also in- ciuded the use of certain land ap- purtenant and adjacent to the house and was rented for the use of the family.
 The son, Stanley, was born on the premises on June 25, 1926. At the time of lease. the defendant knew that the children would make use of and play in and around the pro- perty adjacent to the house, the complaint continues. Near the house there was a we'll filled to the top with water. which the defend- ant used in the manufacture of brick. and which was also used by ether tenants.
 On November IT, 1923, Stanley, while playing in the yard, fell into the we'll and was drowned. The plaintiff alleges that the accident happened because the defendant neglected to supply a guard or bar rier sufficient to prevent anyone from approaching and falling into the we'll.

Amonx Outstanding Acts Are Fraud BNl, Merit 1asts for Auto Drtsers' State Prison for Women and Law b Malkc state Highway Expenses DananAeat ua Moor Vehicle Re- cetpts.

Hartford, May N-Governor frumbull, returning to hts desk at the state capitol today found await Ing him about $50 bills, which pass- sd by the 1899 general assembly. he must still sign.
 When the legislature closed its deliberations yesterday after four months ot work. he had already signed %3s meAsures-17o of them public acts. or general laws. :ss ot them special acts, or laws covering municipalities. corporations and er- Gauixattons.
 The general assembly of 1929 hav- ing passed about the same number of bills as the 1927 general assembly and the governor having signed as many bills by the closing date two years ago, as he has already signed this year, he will, if he follows his own record. have finished signing all enacted meaaures by late in June.
 The 1927 legislature enacted SIS laws, ls. of them special, 327 public acts. It adjourned May { when the governor still had s7s measures to sign. By June ... he had finished aikninx all of them. Though he has said he interprets the constitutional provision which gives him three legislative days in which to affix his signature to enactments as, after the seasion. meaning until the next gen. eral assembly convenes, he will un- doubtedly attempt to put into force all the new laws as soon as possible. It requires his signature to make laws of enacted measures.
 Some Outstandink Acts
 Among outstanding laws passed this session were the fraud act. the act which gives Connecticut a sta- tute similar to the ''blus sky laws" ot other states, the law placing me- tor vehicle ewnsrS and aperatprG on merit basis fer insut3mee f1tinSs: the uniform traffic and the general motor vehicle acts. Probably of widespread interest was the law which placed all amateur athletics under the control and supervision of the state athletic commissioner. Of interest to those who work in the fields of criminology and sociology, as we'll as, perhaps, offenders them- selves. was the law requiring the es- tablishment of state prison for wo. men at the state farm for women, by which all women prisoners would he taken out of the state prison at Wethersfield.
