ELOPE|NENT SEQUEL
TO TERRIBLE SCENE
Composer Mascagni Deserts
Home After Being Wounded
in Arm by His Wife.
BY international News Service.

By International News Service.
ROME. July 12.-The sensation
caused by the clopement Tuesday
night OF the composer, Mascagni. with
Irma Bernini, a vaudeville dancer, was
sequel to q terrible family scene,
in which Nine. Mascagui wounded the
composer on the arm.
Signor Mascaepi had just returned
from visit to the young woman, whom
ne first met while she was dancing in
Covent Garden in London and whom he
later had engaged for the Costanzi thea
ter here. Apparently Nine Mascagm
had followed her husband S taxicab and
thus discovered the meeting place Of
the lovers.
According TO report the composer, on
being confronted with the facts by his
angry better half, confessed. telling his
wife that he had found that life with
her was impossible. At this Nine.
Mascagni. who is reputed TO be mod
ern Xantippe, struck her husband with
heavy KEY The composer s children,
strangly enough, took sides with their
father and Nine. Mascagni is said to
have vented her displeasure on her
daughter, who left the house with her
father. the latter hurrying off to Area
chon TO join his friend. the poet AN
nunzio. one of whose librettos he has
lately been setting to music.
Nine. Maseagni took up the pursuit
Of her fleeing spouse on the following
day but friends Intercepted her at Flo
renee. persuading her to return to Rome
to avoid adding to the scandal.
report was current late today that
Nine. Mascagni, overcome by grief and
modification at the desertion Of her
husband, had attempted suicide. This,
however, could not be confirmed.
The Mascagnis have not lived har-
moniously for long time. Acquain-
tances attribute their disagreements
partly to the composer erratic tenn
permanent and partly TO the violent
temper of his wife. who. though devot-
edly attached to her husband, has no
patience with his eccentricities and
whose intense jealousy of him has
caused several public scenes between
them in the past.

destroyed. The Embre and Dudley
hotels and several frame dwellings were
burned.
