An innovation in the service of re- freshments to ladies In an Audience was established yesterday afternoon at Proctor's Fifty-eighth Street Theatre. where Mabel McKinley and Hal.

Now I can't get any work. I suppose I'll have to go out and blow a safe and go to prison again." The frank and pathetlc Emerson was in court on a charge of disorderly con- duct preferred by an overjoyéd attache of the management of the W. A. Brady | play, “As Ye Sow, at the Garden Theatre. “As Ye Sow” is a 200 proof melodrama with an attempted burglary In the first act. ‘The hero Is a minister and he catches the burglar and overpowers him. In- stead of telephoning for the police the |ke-ind minister gpeaks gentle words, whereat the burglar weeps copiously. “Lye tried to get work," he sobs, “but every place I go the police hound me. No one will knowingly employ an ex- convict. I am condemned to crime.” Poor, but Had $2 Seat. ‘This speech was Emerson's cue last night. Although penniless he had an ordiestra peat, As the burglar on the stage finished Emerson jumped up and to the audience then these words did say: “Friends, that's on the level. I'ny & burglar meself, They won/t give me & I can't get work. Whenqver I get @ job somebody tips me off and I get fired. Can you wonder that I am @ safe-blower?” He made the hit of the evening. In- trepid ushers hurled themselves upon him and dragged him shrieking to the lobby. A stern minion of the manage- ment had ‘him arrested. Nobody thought to look at hs seat coupon and find If there wus ahole punched in it. Several gentlemen in the audience nrotested against Emerson's arrest, but the management insisted.

He said: | “By the complaints of others and my| of personal experience I know of the ex- ceedingly dirty condition of the cars| operated by the Brooklyn Rapid Tran-| sit Company in this borough.

DOOLEY MAY HAVE TO STAND TRIAL. He Is Accused of Having Kept a Patrolman on Duty Over 24 Hours. It is probable that Capt.
