THE WEEKS TALK
IN NEW YORK CITY
Caruso and His Adventure in
the Monkey House
WILL PLAT GET OUT?
The Press Calling on Him to Resign
Because Of His Latest Scandal.
A Profitable Racing
Season.
ny SEWELL HAGGARD.

New York, November 24-(SpeclaD EN-
rico Caruso, most famous of tenors, has
been the sensation of the week in New
York. 1t was not his voice that gave
him the center of the stage where the
limelight beats flercest. 1t was his de-
portment-Carusos department in the
monkey house at the Central park zoo.
A policeman accuses him of Offering in
dlgnities to a woman In his (the police
man'D presence. According to the police
man. tho woman was so indignant that
she made a charge against the singer
willingly enough, though she has not
since como forward to substantate it. At
any rate the pride of tho Metropolitan
opera house was dragged off to a police
station and put in cell, as the press
dispatches have told.
OF course, it took the tenor few days
to recover. An artist could not possibly
pull himself together in time to go TO
court the very next day. Meantime his
press agent was busy. One moment the
arrest was looked upon IN the light of a
huge joke. and the next moment 1t was
called conspiracy. In one of the press
agents jocular moods he said:
why one of the monkeys reached out
Of the cage and pihched the woman. She
looked around and accused Signor Caruso.
That's really all there is to it,"
Then it was said that the police were
trying to blackmail the singer, and had

and | saw him rub the girls side"
What did the girl do them he was
asked
"She Strengthened herself up. and the
defendant turned to the smaller girl. Then
both girls walked away"
Just then two white women and col
ored woman entered the monkey house.
Caruso walked over to where they were
standing and took up a position next to
the two women. with the colored woman
close beside him.
when he stood between the women they
moved away, leaving the colored woman
standing alone Then this defendant
brushed against the coored woman.
Il saw the defendant force himself be-
tween the two girls and push them apart.
His hands were in his pockets all the
time, and his cane was against his Shout
der. Just then Mrs. Graham came into
the house. | saw this defendant look her
over carefully and then walk over to-
ward her left. cycling her all the time.
Then he walked toward her and leaned
against her She looked at him very de-
terminedy, and / saw him bend his left
knee until it touched hers. | saw his
hand move forward stretching his coat
pocket until his hand rested upon her hip.
She turned around and slapped him with
both her hands on the chest.

his face. but fell short Then | arrested

Did the woman say anything to Ca
ruso?" asked Judge Dittenhoefer.

a loafer and beast She did not say
anything to me, but the defendant said:

A Millionaire Drummer.

What small BOY Is there who has not
envied the pompous person who beats
the base drum in the band and who has
not hoped to become as great as he? To
few do the cherished dreams of boyhood
become realities. An exception Is Simon
e. Bernhemer OF this city, known TO
his friends as 1.-THE millionaire drum
mer," who not only beats the bass drum,
but actually owns the band
With vast wealth at his command,
Bernheimer is content IL he can get into
an obscure corner and solemnly boom
out the noisy notes at the wave of the
leaders baton 1t is his only hobby,
and its costs him about $4,000 year.
As his estimated wealth is Sl5,Wo,0OO, this
Is a mere bagatelle to the angel of
the Amicitia Amateur band, which is the
organizato Bernheimer owns and in
which he is a humble drummer. Tie

poa's Fine Playground.

One of the few unimproved lots fac
ing on Fifth avenue-indeed. the only
one in the business DISTRICTS a fifty
foot Enclosure between Thirty-ninth and
Fortieth streets, on the west side of the
avenue.
And in that neighborhood is worth more
than $4,000 a front foot. and yet this
lot has Il high board fence around 1t,
and lies entirely idle.
Yet not entirely idle. as story which
is now being told among real estate men
shows.
To the south of the vacant lot stands
an old-fashioned red brick house of the
type that belonged to the Fifth avenue
grandeur of bygone days. This is the
home of Miss Josephine j. Wendell, an
elderly woman who inherited considerable
wealth from her father. John d. Wendell.
Recently a real estate agent offered
Miss Wendell 100000 for the vacant plot.

the real estate man was about to ask
her where the deeds could be delivered,

more were thus circulated. most of it to-
ward the Golfers of the Jockey club.
There is small chance of figuring the
losses and winnings in the betting ring.
Only estimates can be given, and these
cannot be relied on 1t is known that
about five of the big bookmakers are
100000 winners on the season, which
would mean that at least $4,000 of the
public's money has been lost to them
alone A majority of the books, how
ever are losers, while several plunging
oettors are thousands to the good. All
told, the only sure winners have been
the racing associations. They have re-
ceived money from various sources. not
to mention the $4S0000 or more contrib
uted by the average number of 200 book
makers for the privilege of doing business
in the ring.
Jemes r. Keene is the biggest winning
owner. His horses have wone in the
neighboT hood of st5z,90 in stafest This
has beena record season for him. He has

Will Senator Platt Resign?

New newspapers are printing reports
that Senator Plat is likely to resign,
but they are too good to be true Though
he is a decreplt wreck Of a man, he is
still stubborn, and is not apt to be forced
out under fire. There Is a unanimous
demand that he get out, and his resigna-
ton would undoubtedly be the greatest
service he has ever rendered the party.
The Evening Post says:
Mr. Plat still insists that he will not
resign He may discuss the question
later" but for the present he holds on.
1t matters not to him that the press has
been showing plainly how JUSTIFIED was
his defeat in 1881, when his candidacy for
senator was ended by the discovery of
fragrant immortality. He is more than
ever repulslve more than ever dis
grace as the senior representative of the
Empire State in the United States senate.
Fortunately there are encourar' stgns
that the patience of the public an
end"
The World says: 1.-The Fifty-ninth Con-
gress will convene for its final session
two weeks from Monday. and unless Plat
resigns in the mean time, New York will
continue to be unrepresented. Although
Senator Depew has announced his inten-
ton of resuming his official duties, this
is only n CHASTITY joke There are no off,
cial duties at Washington which the
senator is capable of resuming, and his
resignation is hardly less desirable than
Platt's.
New York's position in the United
states Senate is pitful. The greatest state
in the Union has been without representa-
ton for more than year, and without
ADEQUATE representation for many years.
Although the last session of Congress
was the most important in many respects
that has been held since the days of re-
construction, there was nobody In the
United states Senate to speak for the
Deople of New York.

The Case in Court.

But all this talk didn't help Signor Ca
russo out of his difficulty or the police out
of theirs, for they had run up against
one by this time The woman who had
made the charge was not TO be found She
had given the police a fictitious name and
address, and she did not appear when the
case was called in court. 1t was up to
the police to make out their case Nlaided.
Policeman Cain took the stand. and. ac-
cording to him. something like this hap
pened on the afternoon of the arrest
Il first saw the prisoner between 3:i5
and 1850 o'clock on Friday afternoon in
the lion house, and | recognized him as a
man that ] saw once before, In the lion
house at the time were two ladies' and a
gentleman, and | noticed that Caruso kept
very close to them 1t looked at first as
if they were a party of four
The ladies and gentlemen then went
to the monkey house and the prisoner
followed them. For a time he stood very
close To the taller of the two women, and
then he shifted over behind the shorter
woman.
"While the prisoner was standing be-
hind these two women at different times
he had his hands in his pockets and his
cane was held straight in the air"

you needn't mind" said Judge Often
hoefer Il don't want you To pur your
hands on me-"
Il walked about for a bit and saw
the prisoner next standing in front of the
snake cage There were two young girls
in front of the cage standing between two
men. The four were not of the same
party.
Il saw the defendant stand close to the
taller Of the two girls. He moved his left
foot slowly forward until 1t was between
the feet of the girls. One of the defend

covered there mistake. 1t was even hint
ed that Oscar Hammerstein, the rival
opera manager, might be behind the ar
rest. 1t did seem strange that the same
! policeman that arrested Caruso had once
made an arrest for Hammerstein which
was purely press-agent scheme. The po-
/, lice were also doing some talking. They
said that Caruso was an old offender in
the monkey house He had been kicked
out of there a year ago, according to
Cain, the arresting policeman, who said:
I've got him right" he said I've
had my eye on this fellow for a long
time. Why, as soon as | heard of his
arrival in this country | said to people
in the park Look out for him on Sun
day. | expected him then. | was care
full to get him only when | had the goods
on him.

that | threw him out of this park last
December II, Sunday How do / re-

tain Ferris, had been transferred, and
one OF the desk sergeants was acting
captain that day This December II
saw this man, whom / now know to be
Caruso, approach a stout woman who
was alone in the lion house. Then he
touched two elderly women. l followed
him to the bird house and saw him
draw near to two young girls. They
seemed to be frightened. | asked them
If the man had annoyed them, and they
said Yes. l asked them If they would
make a complaint against him, but they
said they worked for a certain dry goods
house.
while | was talking to these girls
and trying to get their names l saw
the man-yes, I mean Caruso-watching
us from a window, so l told the girls
to go on and l promised TO join them

came in and went into the mammal house.
I followed. He saw me and went back
to the bird house. There / saw him touch
another woman.

have to get out. I booted him to the

The Racing Season.

The racing season which has just closed
in the east was a record breaker in point
of attendance. No official figures have
been announced. but a calm estimate Is
that 100000 attended the meets of the
various associations that make up the
metropolitan circuit.
Most of these paid admissions to the
grand stand was at 50 head. This would
