BELVA LOCKWOOD BNTANGLED,

The Famous Fight Breaks Out In a New
 Quarter. and There Is More Trouble For
 Mary Frost ormsby-Peace Congress May
 Not He Very Peaceful.
 NEW YORK, July l5.-The smolderiug fires of war in the New York branch of the Universal Peace union broke out over very sharp letter that a prominent peace woman had sent to Belva Lockw oOd refus- ing to serve on a committee with Mrs Mary Frost Ormsby of Influence club fame. Mrs. Ormsby was delegate to the Peace congress in Rome in 1891.
 Mrs. Lockwood, who lives in Washing ton, was authorized a few weeks ago by the Universal Peace union, which has head quarters in Philadelphia. to appoint com mittee to receive and entertain in New York the foreign delegates en route to the International Peace congress, which meets in Chicago in August.
 Mrs. Lockwood thereupou wrote to a certain lady well known in peace circles in New York. By the next mail Mrs Lock wood received the following letter:
 DEAR Mas. LoCKwooD-I have received your invitation to serve on a committee to welcome foreign delegates to our Peace congress l see, however. that that committee you have placed Mrs Mary Frost Ormsby. l cannot serve on any committee with her. Whatever power for good she or Hamilton Wilcox ever possessed was utterly destroyed by the notoriety they secured in the press last spring. Resides, the New York Peace society has been quietly overlooked.
 Here is the committee as constituted to which this lady, who does not wish her name used, took such sharp exception: The Objectionable Committee.

 The first sign of war in the Peace ranks was last fall. when Mrs. Ormsby through Lawyer Herbert !. llindes brought suit against Victoria Woodruff and Lady Cook her sister, for q 900 back salary due. she claimed for defending their characters in America three years ago while the sisters were Tn England. ' lCtOTlA publlSneu a | letter which she said Mrs. Ormsby had
 written her of a matchmaking tone. Both ladies are members of the Peace union Great consterpation struck that body wheI what came to be called Mrs. Ormsb .: I"ChRrActer Bureau" was dicussed every
 where. Mrs. Ormsby went to President Love in Philadelphia to get his aid in se | curing payment of her claim against Vic | toriA.
 The latter's partisans also promptly went
 to Philadelphia, and in despair Mir. Lov, | washed his hands ot the whole affair. The
 case has never come to trial Lawyer
 Hindes was seen and said he hadn't hcart \ from Mrs. Ormsby for six months. The bitterness awakened by the lawsuit | had scarcely subsided when the famou, | triangular fight broke out last spring be | tween Hamilton Wilcox Mrs. Ormsby
 and Mrs. Margaret J. Hoes. secretary O
 the Democratic Influence club. Mrs. Hoty
 charged Mir. Wilcox with inspiring ant
