SOME ONE YELLED FIGHT.
Audience Thought It Was "Fire,"
nnd a Panic Was Narrowly
Averted nt the Acndemy.
Thomas Smith, of Canouse avenue,
aged 16, and Henry Shield, of South
Scranton, a boy of the same age, xvent
to the Academy of Music yesterday af
ternoon and bought admission tickets
for the gallery, as a holiday treat for
themselx'es. The house xvns croxvded,
nnd room in the gallery xx-as not plenti
ful. Shields thought Smith xvns en
croaching on his space and objected.
He followed his objection xvith a blow,
and someone yelled "fight."
The audience thought the cry xwis
fire, nnd there was a rush for the doors,
and for an instnnt it looked like a
panic, xvith all its attending terrors.
"Billy" Walsh, xvho does a monologue
for the Aubrey Stock company, xvns on
tho stage during his specialty at the
time, and he prox'ed himself a most cool
and quick-xvitted person. "There's no
danger; no lire, no nothing. Just keep
your seats and don't spoil my best
stories," lie yelled, as he shot off a
siring of xvitticisms that did more to
cool the audience nnd glx-e it confidence
than anything else possibly could under
the circumstances. The txvo city lire
men xvho xvero on the stage at the time
for just such an emergency, rushed out
and assured the audience that the
building xvns not on fire, and that there
xvas no danger xvhatever if they xvould
only keep cool and remain seated.
The employes of the house, trained
for just such an emergency, xvent down
the aisles and besought the frightened
ones not to become excited, that there
xvas no cause for alarm. Charles Ham
ilton, the doortender nt the first floor
entrance, did great service In prex-ent-Ing
a panic when the first frightened
one began to rush from the house, and
SI. J. Walsh, xvho is in charge of the
police at the house, and Officers John
Murrln, allies McDonald and Samuel
Daxvson, by their prompt action, nipped
the stampede from the gallery in tho
bud. One little girl fainted, and xvas
sent homo in a cab. The pugilistic
youths xvero taken to the police station
house.
Manager A. J. Duffy xvas In the box
ofllce or the thentre xvhen the stampede
began and rushed into tho house. Ho
xvas under tho impression that some
one had yelled lire, and offered a le
xvard of $200 to any person xvho xvould
point the culprit out. He thanked
Actor Walsh for his coolness nnd dis
play of xvlt at such a critical moment,
nnd xvhen he leax'es tho city lie xvill
carry xvith him a substantial token of
Mr. Duffy's appreciation.

A crusade, xvhlch promises to bo pro

been Inaugurated by the police dcpnit

"As long as I am superintendent of

I beliex-e I can. The dlsordeily scenes

"They say that the police department

I bplievo that if ivomen of the street
go into tlie bark room of saloons and
put their feet up 'on the tables, smoko

language, the proprietors of those
saloons can bo arrested for maintain

Instances. Some or tho scones enacted
In these places are too foul even to
speak about.
"I xx-nnt it understood, niso, that xvhen
these men die applications for licenses
this spring the police department will
die remonstrances, unless conditions nic

department will carry a great deal ot

Superintendent Day proposes to ask
City Solicitor Watson for a xwitten
opinion setting foitli the powers of the
police dennrtment In dealing xvith this
question. The superintendent wants to
go as far ns he can, but no farther than
the law allows.

In connection with the crusade against
