VANDERBILT FAMILY ROWS
Mrs. Cornelius Defers Her European
Trip Rather Than Sail With
Mrs, Belmont

Newport, R. L, Sept. 3.-Mrs. Cornell
ius Vanderbilt and her youngest
daughter, Miss Gladys, will sail tomor-
row for England. Society folk just back
from; Newport. discussed with interest
today the fact that Mrs. Vanderbilt was
10 have sailed last Saturday on the Lu-
canfa, but at the last moment revoked
her order for passage. The reason as
signed by the gossips was that Mrs. o.
H. p. Belmont was. booked on the Luz
cania. -
Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont, as every
body knows, was Mrs. William K. Van
derbi1t, and she and Mrs. Cornelius are
not on speaking terms. The stories of
reconciliation between Cornelius Van
derbilt, Jr., and his mother are denied
by friends of both parties. Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt and her son did not
recognize each other during the month
which Mrs. Vanderbilt passed at New
port. The story that Cornelius Wander
bilt. Jr., visited his mother at The
Breakers is false, and not later than
Saturday mother and son met on Belle
vue avenue and gave each other the cut
direct
The Wilson's, whose daughter young
Cornelius married, so far have had the
best of the conflict, and many notable
society people, including Mrs. Aston,
Mrs. ogden Mills and the Gerrys, are on
their side and have entertained the
young Vanderbilts since their marriage.

terday received from the city chemist
a report on the analysis of samples of
cigarettes collected several months ago.

South America Gold Seekers Die OF
Fever

Denver, Colo, Sept. George w.
Adams of Cripple Creek arrived in this
city today from the gold fields of South
America.
Fourteen months ago Adams left this
city to try his fortunes in South Amer
lean mines. He went to the gold fields,
800 miles from Georgetown, in cOmpa-
ny with eight Americans, remaining
there IL months. OF the entire party of
nine, he alone escaped death from the
fatal fever.
One by one he saw his companions
die of the terrible disease; saw a hole
scoOped in the ground and their bodies,
twisted from pain, covered with earth !;
malady, and all but dead, but finally,
after seeing the last of the eight die in
agony he became terror stricken and
fled from the country, a country from
which, he says, not one out of 25 white
men ever return alive.

General Gary has just received from the

CONGRESS HALL CLOSED.
Its 125 Cue Compelled to Find
Other Quarters.

Cape May, N. J., Sept. S.-Congress
Hall closed rather suddenly this morn
ing, despite the fact that 125 guests re-
manned in the house They had to seek
quarters elsewhere or return home,
which a good many did. The cause of
the abrupt closing of the house by Man
ager E. K. Cake is stated to be the no.
tice of the City Recorder threatening to
cut off the hotel water supply this
morning unless the water rent of 5000
was promptly paid.
Mr.. Cake claims he could not make up
the sum, because the hotel company
had for three weeks left him entirely
without funds. The heads of the house
help say that over 81 500 is due the SER
wants, and they will probably stay in
the hotel until they are paid.
