OUTDOOR GYMNASIUM FOR WOMEN’S COLLEGE. oo Will Be Feature of New College New London. at Plans are in preparation for an out- door gymnasium which is to be a fea- ture of the equipment of Connecticut College for Women. This structure is to be located westerly of New London hall or science building. The' dressing rooms will be supplied with heat in winter directly from the adjacent structures by underground pipes. The gymnasium will be one story in height with hip roof. It will be of wood con- struction and will measure 50 by 60 feet. The principal feature of the outdoor gymnasium is the fact that it will be so constructed that it can be thrown open at the sides in all but stormy weather. This will give the young ‘women students the utmost benefit which can be derived from exercise— that of taking it in an environment of pure, fresn air rather than the stifling and overworked atmosphere of the or- dinary indoor gymnasium. There will be no danger of taking cold, for immediately after completing their gmynastic exercises the students will be provided a properly warmed apartment in which to bathe and dress. Glazed sash sides are provided for the,building and these can be readily opened and closed. Space is provided for seats for spectators.

HANDKERCHIEF SHOWER Believed That Payment Will Soon be EXPECTING ECCLES LEGAGIES Made—All PR R Beneficiaries But Rock Nook Home Can Receive Their Designated %} Amounts—Further Legal Action Possible Before Status BRI R e Tt i{s expected here that within a very short time the Rhade Island Hos- pital Trust company, executors of tha ‘will of the late John Eccles will make payment of the bequests contained in the Eccles will, which left $177,000 to charitable, religious and edacational institutions and $18,500 to individuals. There is still ground for legal con- tentifon regarding the bequest of $50,000 to the Rock Nook home, which is the largest beneficlary named and is also made a residuary legatee of two-thirds®?of the estate, but the legal action that was brought in an appeal from probate will void because of the flaw claimed in the bequest to the Rock Nook home was not sustained on that ground, so that the way is clear for the extcutors to pav ail the be- quests except that to the Rock Nook home. The individvals who may thus ex- pect early payments of their legacies wit are Wm. B. Eccles of Preston, Lan- cashire,England, $2,500; Henry F.

The death of Mr. Eccles, for years agent of the Ponemah mill at Taft- ville, occurred_on March 26. 1914, at his home on Washington street, and when an appraisal of his estate was filed it showed a total of $425741.22. Upon this appraisal the residue above the bequests would amount to about § 00, giving the Rock Nook home and the .United Workers as residuary legatees approximately$1s. 000 and $75,000 respectively in add tion to the amounts of $50.000 and ,000 which were named for them in the will.

The Hopkins and Allen Arms Com- pany of Massachusetts have completed negotiations with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com- pany by which they have leased the car shops on North Main street, re- cently vacated by the Reliance Wors ed Mills company, to take possession on July 1. The lease was signed on Tuesday and is to run three years with the privileze of continuing two vears longer, making in all five vears The shops will probably be used for woodworking and the final assembling of parts but this detail has not yet been definitely decided.

Roger's Co. build- ing on Thames street and the car shops on Nerth Main street GOING TO BRIDGEPORT. Assistant Superintendent Martin Re- signs at Hopkins & Allen's. Edward J.

Further Conferences Between Trolley- men and Shore Line Officials. At a conference here Tuesday be- tween President Robert W. Perkins of the Shore Line company and the.trol- levmen's committee, of which Robert Donahue is chairman, it is understood that some slight concession to the em- ployes was conceded. In the evening the trollevmen’s committee reported back to the employes, and Saturday morning at 11 o'clock there will be a further conference at which it is be- lieved the Shore Line officials and the trolleymen will come to an under- standing. Considerable pressure being brought to bear in an effort to aevert a strike, and it is_hoped that it may be done. Mayor Timothy C. Murphy has been brought into the controversy and Monday spent nearly an hour and a half in conference with President Perkins on behalf of the trolleymen. The officials of the cities and towns traversed by the Shore Line are anx- ious to avoid a strike. It would mean a serious embarrassment to general business and at a time when these cities and towns are busiest with their influx of summer visitors. Neither President Perkins or Chair- man Donohue of the employes’ com- mittee would make a statement re- garding the conference, but it is un- derstood that the company will stick to its original offer of an increase of one-half cent an hour, but will make a is concession in the matter of the meal ticket arrangement. The company in its original offer called for abolition of the present sys- tem, which allows an employe 25 cents for a meal when his work is €o fixed that he cannot get his regular meal. The company is now ready, it is under- stood, to supply the employes with lunch when necessary. This offer of the company of one-half cent increase an hour would call for doing away with the overtime schedule of 10 cents an hour additional for all overtime. Another concession which it is un- od the company is willing to make s that of making whatever agreement is signed for one year only. The com- any would prefer a two-year agree- ment. FLYING MACHINE ON BOAT RACE DAY. Aviator Jack Tweed Plans to Fly Over the Course. viator Jack Tweed of Hartford is planning to give New London resi- dents as well as the race day throng an exhibition of some of his clever work in his hvdro-aeroplane.

Mr. Tweed plans to arrive in New London Wednesday evening. He will probably make @ short trial flight Thursday, and on Friday will make a longer ascension, circling high above the vachts in the harbor and adding much to the picturesqueness of the occasion. Mr. Tweed will not at- tempt to fly during the races, not de- siring to distract in any way from the main events of the day. Before flying over the harbor Fri- day he will go up at Ocean Beach and will soar directly over New London, iving the crowd an excellent’view at close range. SUPERIOR COURT HEARINGS.
