Square Theater Is Suddenly Prompted to
Jump by a Little Girrs Talk.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Henna Hauser,
treasurer Of the Herald Square theater
in this city, jumped from the middle
span of the Brooklyn bridge yesterday
afternoon, but was rescued from the

senger on an electric car bound from
Brooklyn to New York and sat calmly
reading a newspaper until about the
middle of the bridge, when he jumped
off the car. Throwing off his coat,
Hauser climbed upon the outer railing
to leap. The bridge policeman, passen-
gers on the cars and the carmen them
selves made rush for the man. He
regarded their approach coolly, hesi-
tated moment and then leaped clear Of
the structure and struck the water Just
astern of ferryboat. A passenger
sprang overheard and seized Hauser
when he rose to the surface and he was
taken to a hospital.
Hauser is about 80 years old and is
very we'll known in the theatrical fra
ternity. One story which Hauser con-
firms, is to the effect that q little girl
on her way back from Coney Island on
Third avenue cur commenced to in
terrogate her father concerning the big
bridge just about the time they reached
the Brooklyn end. The child finally
inquired whether any one had ever
jumped from the bridge. The parent
attempted to induce his daughter to
keep still. Seated just back Of the man
and the little girl was Hauser and with
out warning the child began again with,
Say, papa, would like to see some
body jump off. y
"Well, I am afraid you won't get
your wish today y replied her father.
"Won't shes" came voice in reply.
''I'll jump for the little girl"
Mr.. Hauser sprang from his seat and
dropped from the car into the roadway
with an agility that surprised the spec
tators. Pausing for q single instant
he sprang into the air and weE.. down
Ikea shot,, turning over and ever as he
tell. He struck the water with q splash
which was heard both on the bridge
and on shore! When asked why he
made the jump he said it was because
he was q drunken fool. He had had
no trouble Of any sort He finally re-
marked jokingly that was what Coney
Island booze would do for fellow.
