 1t came out yesterday that the row between Theron R. Strong, the aca- demic senior of Yale university, and William B. Mccarthy, the superinten- dent of the Elm City Brass Works. in New Haven, and son of Policeman Jos eph Mccarthy of this city, which re- suited in the arrest yesterday of Strong on charge of breach of the peace and Injury to private property. had it's start over year ago when Mccarthy was a student in the Yale law school.
 Strong is the son of Theron G. Strong, a New York lawyer and brother of the late Mayor Strong of that city. Since the strike of the union hacknnen of New Haven for more pay Strong has been driving a hack for a non-union hack owner. About o'clock on Sunday morning Strong was sent with a car riage to the railroad station and there found Mccarthy and his wife awaiting him. Mir and Mrs Mccarthy were just returning from their honeymoon.
 Strong recognized Mccarthy as the student who sat beside him at the Yale Commons year ago and make kick against Strong's bull pup Flash being fed at the same table with the stu dents. Strong was popular with the student body at the university dining hall because he was leading oarsman, had played plucky football on the col lege eleven last fall against the varsity team and had stroked the crew that won from Annapolis two years ago. Flash reminded the Yale boys of the lam tented Handsome Dan.
 Flash sat in a chair next to his own CT and just beyond Flash sat McCar' thy. Flash got sample of all that was coming from the chefs department of the dining hall and he would occa- sionally 11ibble at aibone on his master S plate if the latter had his mind di- vented. Finally Mccarthy, the second day that be- had the bulldog next to him, turned to Strong and said: How long do you intend to board that dog at the Commons?"
 '"The dog is just as good as you or and if the food Is good enough at this joint for the dog he will stay. If ii isn't I will look up better place fol him. said Strong.
 Mccarthy entered a complaint ther against the dog being a regular board CT at the Comm ons and the next day 1 the order went out from the college officials that no more dogs would be al | lowed to dine at the university dining l hall. It was also announced that dogs l wouldn't be permitted in the building I A Yale man occupied Fdash's chair d the table next day in the Commons, ane Mccarthy and Strong never spoke after that until they met at the station, wher l Strong drove the hack that carried MI | McCaI1thy and his bride to their home 1 on Sherman avenue.
 l Strong jumped from the box ant said: 'tOne dollar and twenty-1v, cents, Mir McCarthy.'
 ''Why, the fare is 75 cents, said Nc Carthy.
 ''Do you remember my dog, Mir Go Carthy?'
 "Yes"
 Tt will cost you SIPS.
 ''I wont pay it. but you tell you boss to charge 1t to me"
 'You will have to pay me, MT Nc T Carthy.e Remember what you said 0 my dog"
 The argument continued on up tn walk, and Mccarthy went into th house and shut the door in Strong
 face. Strong followed. and, with !, push, using all the reserve energy of
 Yale oarsnlan, tried to force the dood The wood work didn't give, but tn panel of glass was smashed. Then Nc , Carthy had Strong arrested.
