NO WEST HAVEN RE ORT
TO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Monthly Meeting of Board a Peaceful Affair With Lit
 tie Business.

The board of fire commissioners had little business to consider at its June meeting held last evening, A petition from Engineer Griffin of engine com Dany No. 12 for leave of absence from July 16 to September was received. Inasmuch as no one present could ex- plain why the engineer desired such a long absence the petition was laid on the table and an order passed asking the engineer to appear at the next meeting to tell the reason for his peti- tfon
 No report was made by the special committee composed of Chief Fancher and Commissioners Pierce and Cum ningham in regard to the unpleasant incident occurring at the fire at the New Haven Fat Rendering company in West Haven a few weeks ago, Chief Fancher stated after the meeting that nothing had been done in the matter and that the committee was waiting for the West Haven people to make a move. He said that at present there was nothing new in the situation.
 The engine at No. 12 and the combi- nation hose carriage at No. were for mally accepted by the board.
 Two appointments and the medical examinations in the case were approv- ed. There are John F. Mccarthy, as- signed as hoseman to engine No 10 and John Sweeney laddernan at hook and ladder No. 2.
 An inspection was recommended for the department some time during June by Chief Fancher. The recommenda- tion was referred to committee to appoint a date.
 The board voted to adopt new sum- mer caps for the department. The new caps are to be of silk, black in color and waterproof It is expected that they will be ready for distribution tomorrow.

OPPOSE MERGER
 WITH NEW HAVEN Massachusetts Legislature Called Upon to Take
 Action. WANT B. & M. SEPARATE Senator Vahey Says Proxey Law Was Deliberately Omitted From Statutes.
WANT B. & M. SEPARATE

Boston, June 1.-The New York, New Haven and Hartford and Boston and Maine merger proposition came before the joint rules committee of the legis- |lature to-day on the petition of Senator ". T. Hayes of Springfield, which was ordered to the committee by Represen- tative J. Meyers of Cambridge, the pe- tition calling for action to prevent the merger. W. B. Lawrence. representing the Lawrence estate, which has large holdings of Boston and Maine stock, appeared before the committee and urg- ed the need of immediate legislation to prevent a merger. He expressed the opinion that the Meyers order was of little value. He said; "The swap would be completed while the committee was going over the books
 Mir Lawrence said it was the general verdict that tho Boston and Albany merger with the New York Central had been q mistake. He opposed a sugges- ton that the committee refer the mat ter to the new commission on commerce and industry appointed by the gover- nor.
 Senator James A. Vahey of Water town opposed the order, He declared that if the present legislature did not prevent the consolidation it would be effected before the next session and expressed the opinion that the order would help the merger by delaying ac- ton Mr Vahey charged that the proxy law had been deliberately omitted from the statutes at the last revision for the express purpose of permitting mer- gers.
 The committe then went into execu- tive session and later adjourned until Thursday.

BASSETT SITE
 FOR $13,5OO Rock Bottom Price for Prop erty for New County
 Home.
TWENTY THREE ACRES
Thompson Wants Larger Plot Than the Alling-
 town One.

Hartford, June 5.-The New Haven county caucus was held this afternoon. The matter of the New Haven county home was brought up, but owing to the lateness of the hour nothing defi- mite regarding the purchase of a site was done, Senator Thompson said that tho caucus would make a great mistake if it did not authorize it's committee to buy more than eight acres of land, the amount in the Allingtown plot and upon which the committee has an option. He said that at least twenty acres should be bought and twenty-five would suit him better. He said that he did not wish to cast any reflections at the com mittee but thought that it would be for the best interest of the county If it bought more land than proposed. Rep resentative Broadbent reported that the Bassett property in Hamden, contain Ing twenty-three acres, could be bought for $1S,5 as the rock bottom price.
 The report of the special committee appointed to look into the proposition of improving the court buildings in New Haven and waterbury reported. The report. however. was in regard to the situation in Waterbury the committee not having had time to inquire into the New Haven situation. On the recom- mendation of the committee the caucus voted to apply for an appropriation of $5o,0o0 to be expended on the court building in Waterbury, the principal improvement being the addition of an other story. The offices in the building will also be enlarged and other im- provements made. The committee was empowered to work in conjunction with the committee on court houses and to employ an architect and receive esti- mates.

FURTHER ACTION 'GAINST HARTMAN President to Try to Force Him to Answer
 Questions. SUIT BEFORE JULY l. Full Light on the "Alton
 Burglary" is
 Wanted.
SUIT BEFORE JULY l.

Washington, June 1.-The question as to whether the government will enter criminal prosecution against E. H.. Hartman for the violation of the Sher- man antitrust law was considered at a conference between President Roose- welt and Franklin K. Lane, interstate commerce commissioner, at the White house tonight.
 Mr. Lane was with the president for more than an hour, and upon leaving the White house announced that before July 1 legal proceedings would be i'm stituted to compel MT, Hartman to an swer certain questions propounded to him by members of the commission at the recent hearing in New York, when the Alton deal was under investigation. Previous to his conference with the president Commissioner Lane conferred with Frank B. Kellogg, special counsel for the government in the Hartman investigation. MT. Kellogg, it is under stood, will have a conference with the president some time this week and will later go to New York to institute suit against MT. Hartman to compel him to answer the questions regarding the Alton transaction.
 At this conference all the members of the commission will be present and it will be definitely decided what action the administration is to take in regard to the criminal prosecutions against MT. Hartman. While no date has been set for this conference, 1t probably will be held on Thursday or Saturday of this week.
 When seen tonight Commissioner Lane declined to discuss what took place at the conference, All that he would admit was that the matter was referred to- while he was discussing the general railroad situation with the president.
 The proceedings to compel MT. liar rirnan to answer the questions referred to will be brought in the courts of the southern district of New York. Wheth- CT the prosecution or the defense should win the decision, the case is expected to be appealed to higher courts and ultimately to the supreme court of the United States According to opinions already expressed by members of the Interstate commerce commission, it may be a year or even more before final decision can be reached on these efforts to compel answers to the ques- tions to which MT. Hartman declined to respond. For these reasons it was announced several weeks ago that the commission did not intend to await the result of these proceedings before talk ing action on the general subject of the investigation of the Hartman lines.

ORCHARD MAY
 TESTIFY TO-DAY Trial of Haywood for Mur- der Now Well Under
 Way.
BITTER ATTACHMENT
Murdered Governors Son Shows Emotion on the
 Stand.

Boise. Idaho, June 4. = Through James H. Hawley, senior of the group Of prosecutors. the state of Idaho to- day made the opening statement against William D, Haywood, whom it charges with the murder of Frank stennenberg. Testimony by which 1t Is hoped to prove the indictment laid against him was then begun.
 The opening statement was sweep ing arraignment of the leadeTs of the Federation of Miners. who were charg- cd with plotting wholesale murder and hiring assassins, all in giant conspir- acy of vengeance upon those who ob- structed their sway, to destroy oppo- sition by terrorism, to control the po- litioal destinies of the communities GOV cred by their organization, and to per- petuate ther own powers within the organization. It charged a widespread conspiracy dating In inception from the north Idaho disturbance fifteen wears ago down to the murder of Drank Steunenberg. and whose murdered vic- tims by bullet and bomb numbered scores. Hawley declared that wherever in the mining sections of the coast states the federation had been in con- trol the politics of the various sections to mark ts operati..-. Of the hired assassins he cried: ITO them murder became trade and assassination means of living.
 Eight witnesses were examined ana there would have been time for three or four more if they had been avail- able before adjournment shortly after o'clock. The witnesses to-day were all from CaiGwell, and those who did not tell of the crtue itself were call led to locate Harry Orchard, who went to the town as Thomas Hogan at var ioues hotels and around the. Steunen berg home, and to show that two months before the crime John IL. Simp- kins, member of the executive board i of the Western Federation of Miners. had joined Orchard and had lived with him for several days in the saina room
 Julian steunenberg. son the dead Y governor, was called to tell how or chard had three days before the murs der, inquired of him about his fathers 1 movements.
 Steunenberg took the stand bravely, but when Senator Borah began to question him. cloud of pain passed over his face, and he evidently tried to keep back the tears.
 The defense objected to practically all the days testimony except that relat- ing to the death of Steunenberg, on the ground that 1t was immaterial and in no way connected with the defend- ant.
 When court sits at o'clock to- morrow there will be further testimony ] as to the events at Caldwell and then Harry Orchard will take the stand. 1 Orchard will be brought from the pen- itentiary in the forenoon and turned over to Sheriff Hodgin until he has been examined and cross examined to l the satisfaction of both sides. He win be a close cell neighbor in the county 1 jail to the men whose lives he may 1 swear away but it is likely that they will not get even glimpse of him dur 1 ing his stay there.

MASTER BARRIERS SPLIT NOT STANDING AS ONE Journeymen Will Get Half Holiday But Wages
 May be Cut.

New Haven citizens who rely upon the weilders of the razor to keep their faces scraped will not have to belong to the class of the great unshaved as there is to be no barbers' strike.
 Until few days ago it looked as if the journeymen were surely going to leave the master barebrs unless they were granted half holiday once a week during the summer The mas ter barbers seemed especially deter- mined not to grant their demand.
 The barhers around the center then thought that they would strike just be- fore commencement when the city will be filled with guests. They kept this quiet, however, and 1t was only yester- day that 1t leaked out.
 Before the plans of the journeymen became known 1t Is said the idea of resistance on the part of the master barbers was given up by the complying with the journeymen's demands by F. W. Newman, the Chapel street barber. This rather took the spirit out of the opposition and one by one the master barbers are giving in.
 Both sides in the controversy have been endeavoring to keep the trouble quiet and especially out of the papers. As soon as the demands were made several of the master barbers are said to have acceded and only few of the principal ones near the center held out.
 A bers absolutely refused to grant the time off, the journeymen theatened to boycott the places. With the granting of the demands it is said that some of the leading barbers will have to put an extra man on and will dock the pay of some of the high-priced men, not putting their wages, however, below thA Tnion scale

Armed ARebcls" Hnd to Disarm and
 Break Ranks Before Entering.

Break Ranks Before Entering.
 Washington, June 4.-One hundred armed confederate veterans from Ten nessee carrying the stars and bars, were to-day denied admission to the United States capitol until after they had lowered their flag and dis armed. The old soldiers came to Wash ington from the Richmond reunion and after visiting the White House march cd down Pennsylvania avenue to the capitol. The capitol police informed them that they would be allowed ad- mission to the capitol only as private citizens and not as an organized body. Congressman John Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, who accompanied the ve- terans, entered protests.
 The police insisted, however, that the veterans must break ranks and disarm before entering the building. Finally this was done and the old soldiers were shown through the capitol.
 The delegation was composed of Company A, of Memphis, and Con- pany B and Cavalry troop B, of Nash vile.
