Hillside Company lias Not Reduced the Pay of Its Aen"Report Is Pro nounced False. An article In a Sunday paper to the effect that the Hillside Coal and Iron company had made "sweeping reduc tions" in the wages of Its employes was declared untrue yesterday by Cap tain W. A. May, the company's gen eral manager. The article contained the following: Notices were sent out yesterday mnking sweeping reductions in 'the wuges of workmen of almost every grade ut all Hie. collieries and all the shipping points of that company. The following classes of workmen have been alfeuted by tho re ductions: Pump runners, blacksmiths, llremen, ash wheelers, carpenters, barn bosses, engineers, coal inspectors, clerks, weighmasters and all steady time men. Captain May was Interviewed at his home on Washington avenue by a Tri bune reporter. He said: "It Is harder to combat a grain of truth than a whole lie. The rate of wages of our men have not been reduced in any Instance. Owing to the decreasing output and consequent reduction of working time Inside tho mines we have been obliged to reduce the time of mechanics and outside men." He remarked that in no particular had the rate of wages been reduced by the Hillside company nor was such action likely, nor did ho believe any of the other, large companies had re duced wages or intend doing so. Me chanics, engineers, carpenters and machinery and outside men generally, he said, always worked several more days per month than did the outside help, but when the lattor's time was re duced there necessarily followed a re duction of the time of the others. He explained, however, that the time shortened outside was never to the same extent as Inside, the repair work having to be performed just the same, the engines and pumps kept running, etc. KEEP IT UP, THUGS. It Only Costs from S3 to SS lo-"Do Up" a Drunken Alan at Midnight in This City. The papers of late have contained ac counts of numerous holdups und the like throughout the city und right In the very beait of the city. Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterduy morning the police captured two men in the very act of "doing up" a drunken man and what Is hnrd to explain they were allowed to go upon the payment of a $3 line Into the mayor's court. The prisoners gave their names as James Huggerty nnd Edward Heel. They espied Patrolman Day picking 11 drunken man out of the gutter on Lack awanna avenue and as the oillcer start ed with his bin den towards the station house they hurried over to liim and saying they knew the man promised to take him home. He was turned over to them and supporting him between them the two youths started down the avenue. The oillcer did not like the looks of the puir and thought It best to keep nn eye on them. Summoning Pa trolman Peters ho shadowed them and as he half expected saw the two wor thies drag tile drunken man back Into the Delaware. Lackawanna and West ern yard. Overtaking them the olllcers asked them where they were taking the man. "I guess we don't know him" they replied and dropping tho drunk they started off, They were however captured and lucked up. Tho books show that they were fined $3. A request that the case be not published was wiltlen across the ducket. John Cannofi, a middle nged South Slder, got drunk Saturday night and wandered Into Center street, At 2.20 a man came up behind him and hit him over the eye with a black jack or some other such weapon, cutting a deep and painful gash. The assailant, whatever his purpose, was frightened off by Pa trolman Karlus' response to Cannon's lusty cries of police. Ho was overtak en and both he and his victim were locked up. He gave the name of Thos. Shnfer. He paid a .fine of $3 lp the mayor's court und went away rejoicing nt the cheapness of sand-bagging. Ills vlc tlme could not pay a like fine for drunk enness und at hist reports was still in the station house. And thus tho good work goes on. soooocooooooooooos SPECIAL FOK ONIC WKKK.

KEPT THE AUDIENCE WAITING I'toinletiir .Clark Tlirciitotiotl the Committee with lluiUug tho I'cr tiirnilitiuu Unlest Ills Tonus Mori! Agreed To--Vmitoil 1111 ltinl Division ol' tho Uxtrn .Honey Kc eeiveil lor Sent Sales-. Curtain Down While the Trouble Was On. Tho performance of "Hen Hur" at the Ftothlnghniii Saturday night was Inter rupted for oer 20 minutes between the first and second Del a because of a differ ence in the settlement of the proceeds between Walter C. Clark, tho manager of the iiroductlon, and the committee ropro.-entlnj; the Men's Guild ol St. Luke's church. The facts in tho ease Indicate an unusual degree of smallness on tlie part of Chirk and a resell to a detestable means In gaining his point. The first act, which concludes with the magnificent chariot race tableau, had ended and the curtain rung down umld the usual salvos of applause. Less than ten minutes had Intervened at the previous performances and there was much craning of necks, whisperings and conjectures when after fifteen minutes of waiting there was no sl?n of proceeding-. Tlie speculation was height ened when scveinl of the prominent men of tlie committee left their seats at a summons lrom the box olbce. Ten minutes mure elapsed before the curtain arose. The cause of the delay was this: Pro prietor Clark, who had received a set tlement at his nun terms following the the two first nlirhts and the matinee performances, conceived tlie idea that the committee would on Saturdny night request a final settlement according to the contract. As a means of leverage with the committee lie Instructed his as sistants not to permit the performance to proceed until his return. He then went from behind the scenes to the- box ofiice where he sat without attempting a statement of his case until the delay was mentioned to him. He then re marked that the curtain would remain down until his terms were agreed to. It was then that the committee was summoned. TERMS OF CONTRACT. The contract provided that the gross receipts were to be equally divided be tween Clark and the Men's Guild. The former's advance agent had expressly agreed that money received for seats, boxes and loges In advance of the reg ular scale of prlcas was to go to tlie Guild. Clark, after Thursday and Fri day nights and the Saturday matinee performances would permit the guild to withold only such suiplus as was deriv ed from the boxes and loges but stipu lating a division of the extra prices received from seat sales. He received a settlement at his terms, the- commit tee not caring to risk a discontinuance of the popular spectacle. However, they bad Intended reaching an amic able understanding Saturday night. Evidently Clarke learned this. liufus J. Foster, chairman of the com mittee, granted a Tilbune reporter an interview yesterday. lie said: "On December 1. Benjamin Hamil ton, Clark's representative, called on Kev. Rogers Israel and solicited him to use the Ben Hur performance. Mr. Isinel referred him to the entertain ment committee, Major Everett War ren, Theodore O. Wolf, Charles Mc Mullen, G. II. Cobb, W. A. Coleman and myself. To Mr. Israel, Hamilton said, 'Xo matter what price the seats are sold at above regular prices, the premium is to be deducted before a division of tlie proceeds is made; even If $5 Is charged for a seat Mr. Clark will expect only his proportion of the regular house price of that seat." To Messrs. 'Warren, Wolf, Cobb and me he made practically the same state ment in Major Warren's olllce. "Basing matteis on what Mr. Hamil ton said, a contract was made where by Clark was to get the production of HO per cent, of the gross receipts and tlie contract explicitly stated 'the usual house prices shull lie main tained.' Hamilton also stated that Clark would bring ten men to bundle the mechanism, etc. He only brought five and we had to hire and pay eleven extra stage hands, NOT ENOUGH OF COSTUMES. "Clark sent tho committee a confi dential circular of instructions. This elroulur called for ten young ladles to take the part of the Arabian Girls. The contract also stipulated that Clark supplied all costumes except those for the sprites and butterflies. After the ten young ladles had practiced the part of tlie Arabian Girls for over n week the chaperones were informed that there were only costumes for eight, and It was necessary for two costumes to be made by the chaper pnes. "When Clark arrived hero on "Tues day he roughly denied that Hamilton had made the statement about the sale of seats, boxes and loges, but fin ally agreed to allow the premium on boxes and loges. 1, as chairman of the committee, told him I would report the matter to the committee, when Clark profanely stated that he would lie bound only by the contract, and that If the committee did not accept that he would declare the show off. "Clark was settled with after every performance, but the last, ns soon as it was over on his own construction of tlie contract. On Saturday after noon the committee notified Mr. Kerr, local manager of the Frothinghani, not to settle with him till after the performance on Saturday night, when the committee would be present and endeavyr to effect an amicable settle ment of dlifeiences, thinking that as Clark's work would be over, he would be capable of treating with gentle men as a gentleman. But he virtually confessed that he was wrong by leav ing the stage, going to tho box olllce and sitting there without notifying any member of the committee of his pro posed nctlon. , VERY UNGENTLEMANLY. "When the committee noticed the ex tra long wait and went'to the box olllce and asked Mr. Clark why It was, he bluntly replied that he would nut go on until he was paid, and acted in any thing but an honorable, gentlemanly manner. He was both profane and abusive in his language, and the com mittee, out of consideration for n large audience, was compelled to accede to his demands, and the performance was resumed after a wait of over half an hour." Mr. Foster had nothing to criticise in tho excellent performance, or the maiiner In which it had been staged; on the contrary, ho was loud In Its praise and remarked that tlie commit tee, personally, were satisfied. Ho wished It understood that Manager Kerr, of the theatre, was In no way Identified with the trouble with Clark, but that his aid and courtesy to the Olllld hnd Iiopii ever ready and of great value. About $1,100 will be netted by the Oulld from "Hen llur." which will be next Introduced at Oswego. AN ADA1IRAHLE CONCERT. Hy Iho Cathedral Choir and llmiur's Oreliestrn in College ltnll.

(lllsin's Christmas hymn was excep tionally fine and was Interpreted by a division of the choir Into three parts, which were located on the stage, In the wings and in the corridor.

TWO TRAVELED FOR ONE PARE One ltodo from tho Hill, Procured West Sido I'm lis Tors for Her Com piuiion, Who Used Them During Lunch Hours.-Tliuy Were Arrested, Fined mid Ilsehiirgcd--Genciiil illmuigur Sillimmi Suys the Practice Is i:toiiMVO mid Must Ito Stopped. Two saleswomen In one of the city's big stores were arrested Saturday after noon on a specific charge of having defrauded the Scranton Traction com pany and were arraigned before Alder man Millar. One of the young ludles who lives on the hill, had, It was charged, been accustomed to receiving a West Side transfer on her return trip from lunch and with giving it to her companion who used it to ride to her home on the West Side. The two were In a great stato of flutter In the alderman's olllce where they piotested their Innocence of any Intended wrong, Insisting that they had not questioned their light to receive transfers nnd give them to one another. A nominal fine was imposed upon each, and after being cautioned not to repeat the olfence they were dismissed. General Manager Silllman In an Inter view with a Tribune reporter yester day said: COMPANY'S POSITION. "The company hns 110 special griev ance against the two young ladles ar rested. They happened to be the first detected In an unlawful practice that bus Increased of late, a practice of hav ing the company carry two passengers for the price of one transportation. Street railways In other cities have been made victims of the same practice, innocent in intention perhaps, but posi tively illegal and have had to resort to the same method to have It discon tinued. "There Is no fine legal point involved as would seem to appear In a story of the arrest In a Sunday paper. It Is good law and good sense that a street rail May company Is not obliged to enrry two passengers for one fare. , The case Is not parallel with a return coupon on a steam railway ticket. In that case the purchaser buys for whomsoever he pleases. If we sold return tickets to a given point on our line nnd return, I do not doubt that the return ticket would be transferable, though such an Illustration is rather vague. It is plain that Mr. A. or B receives a transfer in consideration of his G-cent fare and that the use of the transfer by another deprives the company of five cents. PRACTISED EXTENSIVELY. "You would be surprised to know the number of passengers our cars carry on transfered transfers. Tlie practice is most common among fellow clerks who have regular lunch hours and time their arrivals and departures from stores and olllces so as to make us car ry two of them for five cents. In the case in question these young ladies piobnbly never paused to ilguie that they deprived us of $1.30 per month, of twenty-six working days. You can readily compute that the leakage In a year In connection with many similar cases amounts to a cieat deal, "We did not have to resort to much detective work In this instance. It was known that many persons had been rid ing on transfers procured by others and we set a watch for several who were accustomed to board certain lines of cars at a slven lunch hour and who always possessed a transfer. In some of these cases Investigated It was found thai the holders proem ed their trans fers properly, but In this case the op posite was ascertained."
