MORE TROUBLE
FOR MASCAGNI
RIGHARP HEARD, HIS MAN
AGER, ARRESTED HERE.
Wns Taken Into Custody on a Charge
of Larceny Preferred by Rocbo
Richards, Treasurer for IT. C. Hand,
Who Gave Him Too Much Money
in Settling Accounts on Monday
Night Heard Wan Finally Re
leased on Rail Last Night and
Left for Syracuse.
In nearly every clly which the Mns
cubiiI opera, company has visited this
season either tho composer himself, or
one of thi' singers or the manager I1113
managed to get arrested and Scranton
wos no exception to this genet nl rule.
Itlchrd Heard, of Hostton, tinder whose
direction Mnseagnl Is touring, was tak
en Into custody early yesterday morn
ing at the Hotel Jcrtnyu on a warrant
Issued by Magistrate Millar at the In
stance of Itccso Richards, charging him
with the larceny of $!).". Richards acted
as the treasurer for Fred C. Hand, who
was the local manager of the concert
given by the company in tho armory
on Monday night.
The company wns about to leave for
Syracuse, Jf. Y., where they played last
night, and because of Manager Henrds
arrest, Mascagnl and a number of the
performers who rely on him entirely
for Information regarding train time,
missed the early train and were unable
to leave here until 1:55 o'clock and
wen; just able to reach Syracuse in
time to 1111 their engagement. To say
that the Italian composer wns mad
when ho found he had missed his train
would bo putting It mildly.
Hearing at 5:30 p. m.
Heard wan held under surveillance in
Magistrate Millar's office all day and
was not given a hearing until D o'clock
In the afternoon. Ho maintained a tol
erably lair outward composure, but it
didn't require two looks to see that he
was just boiling over within.
Tho charge against Heard grew out
of tho settlement between Mr. Hand
and himself after Monday night's con
cert. The agreement between the two
was that Heard was to receive seventy
five per cent of the gross leccipts, while
Hand was to receive the remaining
twenty-five per cent. A s-ettlement was
made on a basis of 097 paid admissions
on Monday night by Richards, who
was acting as tieasurer, and a receipt
was given by Heard for the money 10
celved by him.
Richards discovered yesterday morn
ing that ho had made a nilt-tako in com
puting the amount due Heard. A num
ber of tickets had been counted as hav
ing been sold which had merely been
put on sale outside- the city and it was
llgured out that lleatd had been paid
about ?!)." too much.
A demand was made- upon him for
payment and when he refused to con
sider it he was placed under arrest on
the charge of larceny. He was repre
sented at tho hearing by Attorney C. P.
O'Malley, while Attorney "W. X. Leach
looked after Mr. Hand's luti-iofts.
No attempt was made by Heard to
deny the receipt of the money ih ques
tion but Attorney O'Malley pointed out
that It was absurd to bring a charge
of larceny against him. Mr. Hand's
remedy for any injustice done, he said,
lay in tho civil courts. The money was
voluntarily paid over by Richards on
his own figures and Heard was in no
way iesponslble"for any mistake which
might have been made.
Held Heard in Bail.
Magistrate Millar looked at matters
differently nnd held Heard under $300
ball which he managed to secure about
S o'clock. He then took the llrst train
out of the-, clly for Syracuse.
Heard made tho claim at the hearing
that there was nearer 2,000 people In
the armory than 9U7 and that there
should have been about $500 moro com
ing to him. This was the reason, ho
said, which caused him to lefusc to pay
back the money.
Mr. Hand claims, on the other hand,
that every paid admission was fairly
accounted for and that Heard got every
cent which was honestly due him and
$05 more.

MRS. SMITH'S GREAT
' PRESENCE OP MIND
Wife of Clorgyman Cooly Went to
Telophono and Sends in Alarm
When Fire Broko Out.
That Mrs. A. H. Smith, the wife of
the pastor of the North Main avenue
Baptist church, Is a woman who can
keep remarkably cool under trying cir
cumstances wns proven nt an early
hour this morning when her residence
on street caught Are. s
Mrs. Smith's husband is out of the
city and she was alone in the house last
night with her two children. A boy who
had been attending to the furnace had
started the firo on loo strong and In
some manner tho stairs leading from
tho cellar to tho first floor caught lire
shortly after 1 o'clock.
Mrs. Smith wa3 awakened by the
smell of smoke and rushing down stairs
sho saw the flames creeping up tho
stairs. Instead of dashing off after tho
children and then making a wild rush
for the street, as the ordinary woman
would do, Mrs. Smith went calmly to
tho telephone and called up police
hendauarters.
"My house is on lire," sho said calm
ly over the wire to Sergeant Reese
Jones, "and I would very much like
you to send in an alarm."
Tho sergeant promptly turned In an
alarm and when the North Scranton
firemen arrived they found Mrs. Smith
and her two children standing on the
porch. She directed tho firemen to the
fire and advised that no water be used.
Her udvlce was taken nnd the flames
were extinguished by the use of chem
icals before much damage was done.
Then Mrs. Smith nnd her children
went calmly to bed.

TITLE INSURANCE
Real estate has always boeit V"rJ most steady,
and certain investment to be had, hut it has been
shunned by many because they were hampered in
dealing with it. Many mortgagees, when they
have attempted to collect their loans, have found
that their security was worthless because of prior
liens or defective title. A Title Company, in issu
ing its policy to the owner or the mortgagee, as
sumes all ribks. If there have been any mistakes
the loss does not fall on the owner or mortgagee.
