CALL ON 30,O00
 BANKS NOW FOR
 SECRET REPORTS
Puio Committee Wants to Know About Underwriting Syndi-
 cate and Fees Paid Them
INQUIRY COVERS FIVE YEARS
Answers Expected to Prove Existence of Money Trust-OflcerS Must
 Swear to Statements.

Washington, April 30-The Pujo com mittee for the investigation of the Money Trust has called upon all the banks of the country-30,0 900 in num- ber-for a statement of their balance sheets as they will appear today at the close of business This demand has been made upon National banks, State banks, mutual savings banks. stock savings banks, private banks, and loan and trust companies.
 Eight blank forms constitute the set which is now being mailed by the Pujo committee, and as there are 30, 900 banks being supplied, each also getting a circular letter, 240,000 blank forms are to be filled out by the off cers of the banking house in question, if the expectations of the Pujo com mittee are fulfilled.
 One of the most important of the blanks submitted by the Pujo commit tee to each of these 30.Oo0 banks deals with syndicate or underwriting opera tions It calls upon each of the banks to furnish the committee with com pIete list of all ''So-called syndicate or underwriting operations in which your bank has taken part during the last five years with 8 brief descrip- tion of the securities; total amount cate or underwriters paid for the se- curities; the price at which they marketed and the net profit to the bank.''
 If any stock, either common or pre- ferred, was given to the underwriting syndicate as a bonus or otherwise, then the Pujo committee wants that fact stated in detail.
 The call of the committee for data relative to syndicate or underwriting operations revives interest in the charge which was made before the Democratic caucus by Representative Henry of Texas, who said:
 'I charge and it can be proved, that these National banks and other mon eyed corporations, controlled by the moneyed oligarchy of four groups, have been able and are now engaged in the promotion, underwriting and exploitation of speculative enterprises. many of them dangerous and question able, wild, and visionary, and many in other countries, and in the purchase and sale of securities of such enter prises, and in acquiring stocks of oth- CT banking institutions, and in absorb ing and crushing competition by the use Of their concentrated corporate funds for such purposes, either alone or in conjunction, agreement and con- spiracy, with one another"
 Bag after bag of the blanks by means of which the Pujo committee expects to obtain these secrets of the banks were taken from the Banking and Currency committee yesterday for shipment through the mails under Con- gressional frank. A set of the blanks is being sent to every one of the 1,211 banks of New York, of which 690 are National 194 are State, S4 are loan and trust 103 are private banks or bankers, and 40 savings banks

''Raff|es" Finely
 Presented Al The
 Lyric This Week
Robert Conness, Popular Lead ing Man, Seen at His
 Best

B. w. Hornung wrote "Raffles" to depict fact in human nature, and in the dramatization of the work, Flu gene w. Presbrey emphasizes that fact with all the power and genius of the successful playwright. AS presented by the Frank Carpenter Stock Com pany last night at the Lyric theatre in all the effectiveness of specially built scenery with a coterie of actors lines in a splendid balance of cast, Rallies proved an entertainment of a high order.
 To Robert Conness belong the honors this week and we give them without hesitation, for he has earned his way work, since his first appearance here some weeks ago. And while we are paying this slight compliment to the versatility of an actor whose dramatic ability has been tested in some of the most difficult roles ever presented in this city by stock. kindly allow us to introduce you to Robert Conness, the man.
 The moment one comes in contact with him there is an indefinabIe some thing which attracts. Some would say it is personal magnetism, but it is more than that; it is personality, char acter, individuality, originality-force. K10 US EuCSdUlG WlLIlOut HE tO OC~ gentlemanly without an effort. He has imagination, is a student of life in all it's aspects, learns by, Observa- tion-loOks, looks, looks into the very heart Of things; and it is this probing into the manuscript lines of his plays, the placing of himself in the very po- sition of the character he assumes which transforms the man into the actor, and makes him the most popu- lar and capable leading man who ever played in stock productions in this city. His versatility prevents people tiring of him, for he is never the same Robert COnness-On the stage. ID Rallies" he is superb.
 "Raffles" is play full of heart in- terest for it teaches the fact that love is the lever which lifts the world; but it is more than that-it is a battle of wits between the clevereSt detective of England and the cleverest crook, with the latter having a little the best of the argument throughout. And right here the name of John Carroll, as De- tective Bedford, deserves special men, tion. He characterizes the English man in that suave. matter -of-fact way which is characteristic of a certain type. His acting is good.
 Miss Cleveland, Helen Strickland and Miss Carpenter, as well as MT. Con- nor, and Mr. Fillmore deserve special mention.
 Rallies may be seen the usual matinee afternoons and every evening for the balance of the week.

CHIEF OF POLICE
 BROMAGE RESIGNS

Thompsonville, April 3O.-The resig- nation of Chief of Police Edward Bro mage, to become chief of the West Springfield force has cleared up a sit uation that promised to become acute. Bromage was appointed chief by the selectmen and there was much oppo- sition in some quarters. Judge Nor rison of the police court took a hand in matters and discharged Bromage as court off1cer thereby preventing him from taking to the county jail at Hartford prisoners convicted in the court that he himself had not arrest ed. Each officer was instructed to take his prisoners to Hartford. This would have entailed an additional cost and the selectmen refused to allow two officers to go, one man taking all.
