QUARREL
IN HOTEL
Ono Man Cuts Another at OInsy.
v|IIe..Ne|ther AssalIant Nor
Victim viii Disclose Identity

A mysterious cutting ARRAY occurred at
II not been for the prompt action
OF william Connor, the proprietor OF the
house, the affair would have been far
more serious than 1t turned out TO be.
Early In the evening a man who claimed
Pittsburg. Pa, as his home. accompanied
by young woman who said that she re-
sided in this city. called at the hotel.
AS both were under the influence OF
liquor they were not allowed to enter.
The man seemed to be in a auarrelsome
mood and wanted to fight anybody, one
man In particular, and he intimated that
the man that he most wanted TO get at
was at that moment in the house.
The couple came TO the house In cab
and when they found that they would not
be admitted told the cabnan 70 drive on.
They had been gone but a few moments
when Mr. Connors saw them returning.
The man was armed with two large
stones.
Mr. Connors thought that the man
meant to demolish his hotel windows and
went to the veranda and succeeded IN
getting him to throw away the missiles.
No sooner had he done this than the
stranger rushed into the hallway and
hourished a big knife.
With the assistance OF another guest
Mr.. Connor overpowered the man with
the knife and telephoned to Chief OF
Police Kimball to call and take charge
of a supposed insane man.
The chief took the man and woman into
custody but up to 2 O'clock this afternoon
neither OF them would give their names.
Mr.. Connors gave his attention TO his
other guest as soon as the prisoners were
taken from the house. The Pittsburg
man had succeeded in inficting cut
about four inches long on the guests
left breast which was bleeding freely.
Mr. Connors sent for DR.. Thompson.
but the injured man would not allow the
physician TO dress the wound, nor would
he give his name.
This led Mr.. connors and the chief to
believe that there had been trouble be-
tween the two men.
The injured mans wounds are not dan
gerous, but he will not be allowed 10
leave the house until the affair Is thor
oughly sifted.
The other man and woman are held on
the charge of being drunk. An effort
will be made to hold the man for making
an assault with dangerous weapon.

New York, June 1.-THE broad verandas
Of the Larchmont Yacht club at Larch-

morning eager for the race which the
club had planned today for the cup
yachts Reliance. Constitution and Column
bia, and for the winner OF which Com
modore II. T. Adams of the club had
offered n cup.
The race had long been anticipated so
that all OF the details for starting the
big yachts shortly before noon and send
ing them over one Of the large triangular
courses OF the nearby waters OF the
sound were In perfect shape. Unfortu-
nately there was comparatively little
wind early In the day. so that the first
arrivals at the clubhouse we're somewhat I
discouraged. About o'clock light
breess came out OF the north blowing d.
rectly across the sound and giving every
prospect OF increasing before the time for
the race.
About four miles away the crews OF the
Constitution and Columbia could be seen
setting up their sails in stops and making
preliminary arrangements for the race.
while nearer at hand in New Rochelle
harbor, only two miles fror. the club
house. the Reliance was also being pre-
pared.
At l1:45. the time set for the start,
there was scarcely a breath OF wind.
and the committee postponed the firing
OF the gun until 1918. Columbia was
towed to the starting point. reached there
the first on the scene at 1925. The Re-
lance went out under her own sails as
did the Constitution.
At 1875 there was no better prospect
for wind and the start was further post
poned.

New York Reform Club VIII Conflne Its
Work to Tariff Revision.

New York, June l7.--At a stormy meet
ing of the Reform club. Twenty-seventn
street and Fifth avenue. IL has been voted
to wind up the affairs OF the organization
socially and to revert TO the original
tariff reform basis.
The club was founded about 16 years
ago to further tarin reform. a soclai
side also was planned. but lately fell OFF.
and Ii was decided TO sell the house,
balance of more than $4,000 was left and
the younger element fought hard Tor the
continuance OF the organization, main
tanning that for the past five years not a
single tariff decision had been heard IN
the club house. and that IL should be held
together as a social club.
The tariff question, they declared, is a
dead issue" The original resolution
was carried however. and the money on
hand will be devoted to the issuance or
tariff literature, only nominal club quar-
ters being maintained.
