WAGNER'S MUSIC OBJECTED TO.
Italian Audience Causes Riot Over
 Work of German Composer.

Rome, via Paris, Nov. 20, 5:1O a. m. An attempt to introduce some of Wagner's music into a concert con- ducted by Toscanini resulted in an up- roar last night which brought the per- formance to a premature conclusion. The orchestra had commenced the fu- neral march from Gotterdammenung when there were loud shouts of 'it is for the victims of Padua." A storm of imprecations against Wagner and Germany came from all parts of the great auditorium and the concert had to be abandoned.
 An Austrian aviator bombarded Padua on November II, and, accord ing to news despatches killed thirty two persons and injured about twice that number All the dead were said to be non-combatants and most of them women and children. Pope Ben edict made a strong protest to Vien- na as a result of the raid.

FAMOUS CLOWN IS
 VICTIM OF OWN ZEAL
John Crum Clark Exhausted by
 Religious EndeaVors

Long Branch, N. J., Nov. 2O.-Cap- tain John Crum Clark, the oldest liv- ing clown, who was knocking 'enl off their seats with the Dan Rice cir GUS way back in 1849. died here yes- terday. He was eighty-two years old.
 Religion, which he embraced in his 7 fiftieth year was the indirect cause of his death. With the memory of many lurid circus days to spurn him on, he was an indefatigable worker in the Methodist church and an exhorter of no mean ability. In December, 1914, his religious work brought about a breakdown from which he never re- covered
 But until he fell asleep for the last time Captain Clark never believed that he would not recover his health.
 Six doctors have told me I would never live to be seventy" he would say with chuckle, "but I've lived to see 'em all buried"
 Before he settled at Long Branch to spend the remaining years of his life Captain Clark had varied ex- perience.
 He ran away from his home. in New York at sixteen and joined Dan Rice show, and for twenty years thereafter toured North and South America and Europe. During this time 1t was his boast he filled every position on the circus payroll but ticket taker. His specially was broad jumping, and he became professional champion of the world by defeating g William King, the then champion, in 1854
 For thiry years after his retire. ment Captan Clark ran an express business at Long Branch. He leaves a son and a daughter. He was a member of the Masons. Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and the Order of Eha. Eastern Star.

POOL R0OM' GAME
 COST VICTIM $7,5OO
Leader Of SWindlerS Posed as
 British Secret Service Man

this city and private detectives are looking for a confidence man, who, posing as a. British Secret Service agent is said to have f1eeced a num- Der Of persons out of large sums of money by the old fake poolroom sWlndle. Warrants have been issued for him and an accomplice. There are said to be other members of the gang, including one or more women.
 The activities of the gang came to the notice of the police through the com p1aint of a man whose name is given as E. s. Brown of New York. who said that he had been swindled out of $7,5OO. According to detectives working on the case, MT. Brown, a business man, met the leader of the gang in New York last July. He rep resented himself to MT. Brown as an agent of the British government, and after an acquaintance of some days, suggested that they take a trip to Atlantic City. On the boardwalk and woman known to MT. Browns companion.
 It wasn't long before the man, MT. Brown and his companion met on the sidewalk told them how they could beat the races. Then. in all it's details. the old. old poolroom swindle was worked again. The party, said to have grown in the meanwhile by the accession of other victims, went to a poolroom in street in Atlantic City Just off the Boardwalk There were men in shirt sleeves with green eye-shades, busily taking the returns" The "results>' of the races in Maryland were coming in by telegraph every few moments; large wads of money were being bet on every hand. MT. Brown is said to have placed bet and won, leaving the place, thanking his new friends for their kindness in putting him up against a sure thing
 Then the story goes, there followed the usual return visit to the poolroom, with the result that MT. Brown was out $7,500. Other persons were said to have lost large amounts.
 MT. Brown is said to have taken his loss in good spirit. and to have re- turned to New York to his business For almost three months he thought about the matter, and then decided to I ask the British embassy if they rad in their employ any such man as. the one who had accompanied him to City and led him to the pool rooms. The British embassy knew of no such man, and has led to the in vestigation now going on.
 The story of this swindle reads like the accounts of the coups of the old Gondorf gang, which came to grief a year ago, when the members were caught in a handsome resort they had fitted out in the Ventnor district of City. Charles Gondorf, Frank Thomas, and Samuel Gioux, the leaders of that gang. are now in prison.
 Whether the leader of the new gang is a pupil of Gondorf the police do not know. The best clue they have Is that the fake Secret Service man was seen in New York, at Fiftieth street and Broadway about three weeks ago.
