FOIled by Ticket spcculators-
Mnpleson Arrested.
SAN FRAScIsCo, March lI.-The sale
of tickets for PATHS second appearance,
Tuesday next, began this morning. Ma
pleson abandoned the auction sale idea
and reverted to the old plan. The re-
suit was rush and riot greater than
that of Wednesday. At five this morn
ing the line began to form in front Of
the Grand Opera House, and by ten
o'clock over fifteen hundred people had
gathered, waiting for the doors to open.
The crowd represented all classes of
society, from the toughest hood
lum to the respectfully dressed wo-
man. AT half past ten the outer
doors were burst in and the crowd
rushed in, smashing all the plants and
pictures before them. The fury of the
crowd was so groat that young boy,
who happened to be in the way. was
picked up by man and hurled through

boy was badly injured. Mems coats and
wOmens dresses were torn from their
backs in their struggles to get near the
head OF the line. Several women were
seriously injured and many tainted.
The police were powerless to act. As
the box office continued to remain closed,
the crowd became furious and threatened
to tear it down and gut the building.
As the excitement increased spectators
suddenly appeared offering S. tickets fer
SIS. Tue thought that they had waite d
so long and struggled so hard to buy
tickets in q legitimate way only to hav e
them thrust under their nose by thiev.
ing spectators at three times the price,
increased the fury to white heat. The
speeulators quickly understood that
they had better not repeat their offer OF
they would stand good show OF
being torn to pieces. The crowd
then smashed in the windows Of the box
office, shouting for tickets. The agent
escaped, fearing personal danger, and
sent to headquarters for a detachment OF
police. They quickly arrived and after
hard struggle and many arrests, sue
ceeded in establishing order. The agent
announced that no tickets would be sold
at the box office window and that pur-
chasers would have to step into the
office one at time. This was too much,
and the majority Of the crowd walked
off, swearing and disgusted. The spec.
ulators seem to have the game again in
their own hands.
Mapleson was arrested and booked at
the city prison this afternoon, charged
with violating the fire ordinance, in
crowding the theatre aisles. He was re-
leased on bonds.
