 Springfield. HAS BEEN HERE A YEAR M. Eldridge, of Syracuse, to Succeed Him In
 This City.
HAS BEEN HERE A YEAR

An announcement which will be heard by New Haven theatergoers with regret is that Manager Gilhllan, who for the past year has been in charge of the Hyperion, leaves shortly for Springfield, Mass. where he has been appointed manager of the Court Square theater by the Schuberts.
 MT. Gllflllan during his stay here has managed the Hyperion very successful ly and this probably accounts for his advancement to the larger establish ment. He has had none of the trouble with the students here which had mark ed the administration of some of his predecessors and the best of feeling has existed between the university and the management.
 About a year ago Mir. Gilfllan came here from Northampton where he man. aged the Schubert theater attended by Smith college girls. Mir, Gllfillan has since said that he liked Yale students even better than those at Smith.
 His successor at the Hyperion while not yet definitely announced will prob ably be Manager Eldridge of the Schu- bert theater ini Syracuse, who is him. self a distant relative of the Sohuberts He will be in charge with the beginning of the regular fall season.

 Blndi told somewhat different story from which he recited to the hospital authorities upon his arrival there. He told the police that he was shot in the yard outside his home as he was about to enter the house. When he reached the hospital, the scene of the fray had changed and he said that he was com ing down the stairs on his way out of the house, when the bullet struck him.
 In both stories, he said that he had no idea who his assailant was, that he thought it might have been a stray bullet or shot fired accidentally from some distance away. He says that he has no enemies, and can think of no reason why anyone should want yto shoot him.
 Some of the Italians in the neighbor- hood say that the Black Hand has been operating in the neighborhood, and that this shooting was done by them as a warning to some persons whom they are trying to extort money from. The police scout the idea

Thirteen Men Arrested At Plant Where Strike
 Is On.

Bridgeport, July 24.-There was a riot at the plant of the American Tube and Stamping company, located in the West End, tonight that caused the po- lice department to rush every available officer to the spot.

The trouble started over the fact that the night superintendent sent for man who had refused to join the Industrial Workers of the World, such being the name of the union conducting the strike.
 The injured policemen were Officers Blanfield and Dempsey, the latter was struck under the eye with stone and the former hit on the side of the head with a similar missile, the stone barely missing his temple.

 Interests.

Among the bills killed was that in- cooperating the Macdonald Engineer ing company. There were two reports from the committee on incorporation on this matter, the minority report by Senator Chase. The favorable report of the majority of the committee was rejected and the bill therefore defeated, the vote being 19 to I.
 Another matter which the senate practically disposed of to-day was that concerning the appointment of a com mission to investigate the banking sit- uation In the state, which has been up before the senate for several days. The bill was called from the table by Sena- tor Keeney who supported the measure. He said that Governor Woodruff, If he was to appoint the commission would not take for member of the conmis- sion any member of the present general assembly.
 Senator Blakeslee moved to postpone action on the resolution indefinitely and Senator Middleton said he was op- posed to the bill unless the members of the commission were appointed by tho general assembly,
 At this point Senator Butterworth of New Haven, made statement that la ter called for a sharp reply by Sena- tor Thompson. Senator Butterworth said that the state was sadly in need of a change in the manner of conduct ing its banks and the general assembly should take some action to that effect. There would be no harm in appointing the commission especially if it were appointed by the governor. He under stood that the conditions in the state were such that warranted thorough investigation. He did not care who was put on the commission so long that one was appointed. The session should not adjourn until it made an ef- fort. at least, to better banking con- dtions in the state.
 Senator Thompson took the floor and said that if Senator Butterworth really knew of anything wrong with banking

 The bill is now before the judiciary committee and the general opinion is that body stands in the position of allowing 1t to die natural death, let ting the legislature adjourn without submitting the subject. If the governor now decided to call an extra session, the committee might bring in a report on the bill and the extra session would useless. After the present legislature has adjourned the governor may call an extra session.
 Hartford, July 24-The senate and house adjourned late to-day and it was generally believed that to-morrow's S session will wind up business and that final adjournment will be taken some day next week. Many of the senators
 seem to think that business in that branch could be finished in another z day and some of the prominent mem ! bers of the house were of the same } 2opinion regarding the work of that
 body An effort will be made to cut
 out debates as much as possible, and
 every move tomorrow will have one
 object back of it, that being to clean up
 everything by the time the members #go home late in the day
 The matter of an extra session, which
 was rumored about the halls of the cap- itol this afternoon, was discussed by
 those who had wind of it but according Ito statement made in the governors
 offfce. though not coming from the gov &ernor direct, 1t was learned that the
 goyernor had not decided to call an
 extra session either at the close of this
 sessdon or in the fall. It is understood #that the rumor was given credence by ' many, the idea being that the governor
 desired to call session for the pur- |=| bose of enacting a law that would
 create public utilities commission Hzhlong the lines of that in operation in
 New York state. Governor Woodruff
 was not at the capitol to-day.
