NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1925 SEEK CHICAGO MAN INMURDER MYSTERY Former Cabaret Owner May Be Implicated in Murder New York, March 21.—Twisting tralls leading out of the shade as cast by the confusing beacons of Broadway were taken today by detectives hunt. ing for the murderer of Dorothy Kecnan, the model, whose death by chloroform poisoning last Thursday still remains a mystery, The police beat hard upon the path leading to the rendezvous of black- mallers,, opened to them yesterday, and kept retracing the steps of the more famillar routs, taking them to “John Marshall” the mysterious ana anonymous wealthy Bostonian and to Alfred Guimares, the original *man in the fur coat,” both admirers of the dead woman. b Seek Chicago Man. Police Inspector Coughlin was ex- pecting information today from Chi- cago about Jack Lannigan, whom he asked the police there to look uy. Lannigan once lived with Miss Kee- nan while © he, conducted several Broadway cabarets and knows many of her acquaintances. The police have heard he returned from Chicago three weeks ago and after quarreling with Miss Keenan left in a huff. Blackmail Theory The theory persisted in police cir- cles that Miss Keenan was to be chloroformed to death because she refused to dellver up a man within her power to “badger. game" players, It was not even established that “Mar- shall”, whose discretion seems to have kept him from telling his name to any person but Miss Keenan's colored maid, was the prepared victim. There were other admirers of wealth, one of whom penned endearing letters to her. ‘““Marshall” is said to have writ- ten her no letters. Violent Murder That the murderer was violent and that Miss Keenan fought to live was asserted by “Billie” Bradford, the maid. She denied the police state. ment that the girl’s body bore few bruises, declaring it was battered ana contorted and. was found in a snarl of bed clothing with the night dress badly torn.

We know how often the appealing charm of attractive clothes—the bedecking of ourselves personally—often takes away the chances of furnishing the home in the livable féscinating way that makes it more than a place of shelter when all other places fail. The balancing of expenditures so that both the person and the home receives the proper proportion of deco- rating expense is not only ideal but possible.

On the other end of the scale is Arizona, where the rate is only 7 cents per acre—exactly the same in 1922 as in| 1915, The increase in taxes on farm lands gians on their return. is attributed by the department of ag- riculture, which has just made com-| pilations of the figures, in part a dis- proportionate increase in assessed | valuation based on high land priges during and following the war, and in| part to increased cost of state and lo- cal government, | GOULD'S CONDITION UNCHANGED | Nice, March 21 (By the Associated Press)—The condition of George J.
