BLANCHE BATES MEETS NEW HAVEN Hyperion Crowded to See Great Actress Interpret Belasco's Western
 Play. GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST MAKES BIG HIT Some Wonderful Scenes Ar ranged by the Hand of
 the Stage Craft
 Master.

Blanche Bates scored a distinct tri- umph fin The Girl of the Golden West" at the Hyperion tbeat4r last night. She took an audience which crowded the house, out of their own sphere. By her finished acting, and the subtle de- vices of that wizard of stage-craft Belasco, she made them live with her, enjoying the life she and her fellow actors depicted, understanding her love, her suffering and her happiness, She proved the reason for the long and successful run of the piece in New York.
 As the Girl" Miss Bates was, from the moment she appeared on the stage to the "Pollea" saloon at Cloudy Noun tain until the curtain fell on her adieu to California, the sweet, loving. daring daughter of the west. Her portrayal oi the character was so perfect that il made one forget the fact that the sa- loon, her home and the dance hall were mere scenic effects and '"The Girl" a
 
 mere conception of Belasco's. She lived the part.
 The perfect ease and natural manner with which Miss Bates took her part was one of the most charming features of her finished work. There was a tot al lack of that indescribable something that in many cases reminds one of the fact that the piece being portrayed is merely a bit of clever acting She rose to her best in the second act in her cabin in the mountain. Having con- fessed her love to Johnson only to find that he is road agent her seorn for the man was perfectly depicted anc then her great love that swept all else to the four winds. Her uncomfortable joy upon realizing that she had wor

Shipbuilders Will Lock Out Over 40, GOO Boiler
 makers.

London, Sept. 1S.-Between forty and fifty thousand members of the boiler makers society will be locked out Oc-. tober 5. Notices to that effect are be- ing posted to-day by the Ishipbuilders federation. The men affected are em- ployed chiefly at the east coast ports, at Barrow and on the Clyde.
 Sometime ago lockout notices were issued because of a number of section- al strike in which the men left work without giving notice and without dis cussion of their grievances. These mo- tices, however, were withdrawn and which is knowh as the "Edinburgh agreement" was entered into. Under this the representatives of the men stipulated that such annoying strikes would be avoided in the future.
 The society repudiated the action of it's representatives and the federation is now determined to fight the men to finish
 The chief grievance of the employ CTS is that the executive committee of the boilermakers' society has no real power and cannot force the men to observe any agreement which may be adopted.

TRIES 10 PASS OWN CHECK CAFE MAN DECLINES Bridgeport Man, Arrested, Claims to be Rev. Moss

Mossman of the City Missions, was arrested by Detective Henry Don nelly yesterday afternoon and locked up at police headquarters charged with forgery and uttering a fraudulent check for $10 The check was drawn against the Rev. w. D. Mossman and when questioned the man stated that it was all right, and that while 1t wasn't his own account he could draw from that of his alleged cousin at will
 The arrest came about through the complaint of Teller Frank A. Bunnell of the First National bank that a stranger was at that institution with a check for $10 drawn against Mir Moss man, and the bank would like him and the document looked over. De- tective Donnelly went to the bank and found there John Gunderman of 7S Fair street He was taken into side room and denied all knowledge of the matter other than that he was a sim pie messenger sent to the bank, by a man he had met in the saloon of Joseph Broggio of State and Fair streets, to get the check cashed. Gun derman is a sort of porter about the saloon and as his story seemed straight Detective Donnelly told him to take the check back to the man and point him out.
 Gunderman did as told and when he reached State and Fair streets was met by Mossman, who at once asked

The association also went on record as in favor of the immediately repeal of the tariff on printing paper and wood pulp imported from Canada, This sentiment was expressed in resolutions which fur ther provided for an assessment upon the members to defray the expense in- cured by the association in assisting the government in the prosecution of a combine that may be undertaken.
 The adoption of the resolutions fol- lowed several hours discussion of a report submitted by Don c. Seitz ol the New York World; John M Norris of the New York Times, and Condo Hamlin, formerly of the St. Paul Pion- ger Press, who constitute the commit tee in paper. In the many speeches made it was repeatedly set forth that the cost of newspaper stock had in- creased materially during the past few years, the present quotations being something like $12 a ton higher than the prices for similar grades in 19O4 These advances, which it was declared had resulted in some instances in for merly valuable newspaper plants be- coming -proflt-making, were not, if was charged due to natural and legal causes, such as deforestation and g consequent falling off in the supply oi wood pulp; alone, but in a measure tc an agreement among certain manu' facturers to keep prices above normal.

 Jury.
ALL GLASSES EQUAL

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-When asked to- day for statement of the policy of the department of justice, with respect to the enforcement of the antitrust laws, Attorney General Bonaparte said:
 When was appointed attorney gen. eral the appointment was criticised on the ground of certain views was al4 legged to have expressed at conven- tion in this city in 1899, which conven- ton, in point of fact, did not attend. Since then I have declined to make any statement of my views on what may be termed trust problems, not because of having any objection to having my views known, but because my views are altogether irrelevant.
 T stated when I became attorney general that I deemed it my duty to see that all laws of the United States are propery enforced, without regard to the personality of the violators or what effect 1t might have on them. This policy I propose to carry out as long as I am attorney-general. The penal statutes will be enforced against all wrongdoers, whether they be rich or poor, trusts magnates, or mere coun- terfeiters of money-or bank wreck CTS"
 Arrangements have been made to summon another federal grand jury within a few weeks, but it is not vet decided just what matters will be brought before 1t. Reports that the al legged harvester trust would be subject ed to an investigation by this grand jury were set at rest by the statement of Attorney General Bonaparte that the government has not yet decided wheth CT the prosecution of that corporation would be under the civil or the criminal law.

PROJECT NOW TO ANNEX NASHVILLE Some Property Owners. There Favor Full Union With City in Near
 Future. PLAN IS TO ASK
 FOR TOWN MEETING Present Westvllle Tax So High That It is But Three Mills Below That
 of City.

Claimed to be a direct result of the recent meeting Of the board of edu- cation in Westville, certain property owners in that borough are at the present time agiiating the question of annexation to the city of New Haven and it is expected that within a few days definite steps will be taken toward bringing this matter to a head. Com ing as this does practically on top of the failure to establish a separate city government in West Haven, the move ment is of particular interest to citi- zens of New Haven. The natural in- ference is that the next step for West Haven is annexation. Should this take place, and Westville follow in her footsteps, these two boroughs and Fair Haven, which is now a part of New Haven, would make greater New Haven.
 The plan of the Westville property owners who are agitating the question of annexation with New Haven, 1t is stated, Is to start a petition among the taxpayers of the town within the next few days requesting call for a town meeting. One hundred signers are needed in order to bring the tax payers together for this purpose, but those who are interested in the mat ter are confident that this number can be obtained, In case this proves to be fact the meeting will then discuss the question of requesting such an all liance of the city officials of New Ha- ven. If the sentiment of many of the property holders in Westville at the present time may be taken as an ir- dication of the general attitude of those who are taxpayers in that place they are very anxious to have such move made by the town.
 Under the present system the resi- dents of Westville have aldermen who represent them in common council, but their rights with regard to voting in that body are restricted to such mat ters as pertain to the interests of he <no-4t,,,ad a. Soa.,1 T1...a
