..
BRIDGEI’ORT. Oct. 16.—~Drastic
changes in the constitution of the
State of Connecticut for the purpose
of procuring a more equitable repro-
scnlation and eliminating lilo evils
which flow from conditions now ex-
isting were endorsed by the. Common
Council in a resolution presented by
the miscellaneous committee and
passed at the meeting last night.
The proposed amendment to the
constitution provlti~‘s that each
town shall be entitled to one repres—
entutive for each 10.000 inhabitants
or major fraction thereof. while
towns of 1.000 to 4.999 inclusive
shall be entitled to one representa-
tive who shall carry only one-half
vote, and towns of less than 1.000
shall be entitled to one reprenesta-
the who shall carry one-quarter
vote. As at present constituted the
the House of Representatives is com-
posed of two representatives of cities
and towns whether their population
is 257 as in Union or more than 100.-
000 as in this city.
lt-is also provided that each couri-
ty be entitled to one senator for
every 40,000 population or major
fraction thereof. but each county
shall have at least one senator: and
in counties where the population re-
quires more than one senator. sena-
torial districts based upon approxi-
mately equal numbers of population
shall be created to facilitate elections
and to permit closer contact‘between
the people and their senatorial rep.
resentatives. The Federal census is
the basis for the determination of
both the representation and the Sen-
ate representation.
The resolution provides that the
mayor be authorized and instructed
to appoint a special committee of
five hold-over alderman to be known
as the Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, whose duty it shall in
to report to the Common Council of

In Bobby Gnrcia. the Camp Hoia-
hlrd (Md) battler. who holds the

will see in action one of the best
126-pounders developed since John-
ny Killmne was in hlsvprirn‘c. ,.G§!':
do is schdeuled to meet Jack Haus-
ner. the hard-hitting New Yorker.
in a ten—round bout at the Norwalk
armory tonight. and one of the most
sensational battles ever held inthesc
parts.

to defeat nine rivals before he cs—
tnblished his supremacy over the
rest of the army's foremost feather-
weights.

The army champion is a. strong.
rugged, aggresive. two-handed bat-
tier. 3. willng mixer. and a terrific
puncher with eithcr list.
In Jack Hausner. Garcia will be
up against one of the toughest prop-
ositions of his brilliant career. Haus-
ner, like Garcia, is a terrific punch-
er. with the record of having won
half of his bouts by knockouts.
Hailsner is a graduate of the ama-
teur ranks. where he was a verit—
able sensation. As a professional.
he has engaged in over 50 battles,
against the best featherweights in
the world. and has never been
knocked off his feet. Among the
many prominent boys Hausner boxed
were Billy DeFoe. Eddie Brady.

Jack Shin-key. Frankie Jerome,
Frankie Edwards and Johnny Rus-
sell.
Hnusner is being handled by Man-
nie Scamon. trainer of Benny Leon-
ard. world's lightweight champion,
and Seaman is confident that the
New York lad is headed straight
for the world's featherweight cham—
pionship. liausner has been train-
ing with Leonard for tonight's bat-
tle with Garcia and is prepared for
the best light of his career.
Garcia has been training at camp
Holabird, Md.. assisted by his camp
buddy. Eddie Burnbrook. the sen-
sational welterweight champion of
the army. who has knocked out
Johnny Woigast. Phil Bloom. Al
Norton. Jimmy Kelly and other pro-
minent welters. Besides Burnbrook.
Johnny Leonard the clever Allen-
town Junior lightweight. also has
been helping Garcia. Leonard is
the boy who was credited with 3
technical k. 0. over Rod Cap Allen
here three weeks ago.

Since‘ the seizure of the epistlo-s
last Saturday by the Greenwich po-

the effect that information Would be

that the motive which prompted the
shooting was jealousy on the part of
some rejected suitor of Mrs. Leslie's.
Bridgeport Man Questioned.
In an interview Prosecuting Attor.
ney \Valsh last night said that the
nine Bridgeport men who were
thought to have been mixed up in
the case have been eliminated by
virtue of the fact that they were
not at the Leslie home on the night
of the shooting.
Asked about the love letters last
night, Prosecutor \Valsh said:
1'1 have finished reading the let-
ters and l have found nothing in
them which would throw any light
on gt‘heflcasebthnt_is.ml,,njean on the
identity of the three gunmen who
shot Mass or the person or persons
that hired the gunmen. if that is the
case. I can’t say as yet whether or
not the lava letters will be made
public. I will decide that ata later
date."
Capt. Patrick Flanagan and Ser-
geant Fitzroy of the Greenwiin po~
lice were in Bridgeport yesterday
questioning the nine men that are
said to have met Mrs. Leslie and Mr.
Mans in \Veisbcit's road house in
Dorian on the night of the shooting.
Following the session with the men,
Capt. Flanagan said that they were
“out of the picture".
“Let People Think—"
Gustav Fleischman. nephew of
Mass, who has been acting as
spokesman for Mrs. Leslie since the
shooting. when asked if she had any
objections to the publication of the
supposed "love letters". said that
there were "no objections-earn! no
love letters."
“Mrs. Leslie". Fleischman said.
"doesn't care how much publicity
she gets now. Let people thllfli
they want. She will nolliiltem
deny any stories that may its! given
out by the authorities. and whon the
ink runs out the papers will have to
stop. Mrs. Leslie is content to let
things rest as they are. It makes no
difference if something mysterious
remains. We'll let people think what
they want to."
The police were inclined to abnn~
don the theory yesterday that a
jealous suitor prompted the shooting
of Mass and accept Mrs. Leslie's and
the wounded man's theory that the
inotivo' for the'crime was robbery.
However. the investigators were.
working on a new clue yesterday
which they refused to disclose but
which was expected to net results
within a short while.
Seek Prominent Man.
Despite the vehement denials by
Mans. relatives and-friends that a
man of national prominence was
mentioned in the ‘iove letters' which
were seized. it is known that the
Greenwich police are seeking such a
man to question him.
7 Rumors were prevalent in police
circles yesterday that lilaas would he
questioned at the Stamford Hospital
by Prosecutor Walsh in an effort to
get a. complde story of the shooting.
Last night. however, the Prosecu-
tor refused to \ discuss the matter
with reporters and it could not be
definitely learned whether or not the
questioning took place.
It was said at the Stamford Hos-
pital last night that the condition of
Mass is much improved and that he
is recovering rapidly. How near
,Maas is to complete recovery. how-
ever. could not be learned and the
hospital authoritiesldeclined to say
when he would be discharged.

The control of the .convention
gained by the old organization forces
'With John T. King. at the helm was
accomplished when delegates from
the Third. Fourth. Sixth and Seventh
districts, on the basis of political
trades. chose the side which they
considered the winning side and
abandoned the cause of party recog-
nition. with which they had declared
themselves in harmony at. meetings
held up to yesterday morning.
This was the big surprise of the
convention, but it was no less a
surprise than the withdrawal of.
former Judge Frederick A. Bartlett
from the mayor-ally contest. Judge.
Bartlett announced late yesterday
afternoon that he would be in the
hands of the King organization. and
nomination would be in a King
ticket. and on King terms.
The leaders in charge of the re-
organization movement conceded
their defeat before the pro-conven-
tion caucus' had assembled at the
Stratficid. It was stated that the in-
ability of District Chairman \Viliiam
J. Buckley to deliver the Seventh
district delegatesfas he had promis—
ed.to do. together with the last"
minute desertion of the Fourth dis-
trict delegation. headed by William
Chow. and the Third district and
Sixth district, which figured in amaz-
ing traders with the King henchmen
during the day. accounted for the
unexpected defeat.
Judge Bartlett issued no formal
statement concerning his withdraw-
al from the race, but he stated he
would not be a candidate. when the
information was communicated to
him that the old organization with'
King at the helm. controlled the
convention. ‘
