"Harry" Lehr Examined Hats In New
York for His Wife.


A symphony In brown was Henry S.
Lehr. as he prefers to be called since
he has reached the dignity of marital
state. but better known as the immac.
ulate Harry" when he strolled into a
certain fashionable hat store in Fifth
avenue few doors from Sherry res
taurant recently, says the Kansas City
Times. Mr.. Lehr was alone, but 1t is
to be presumed he was there for the
purpose OF buying a hat or hats for
his wife. At any rate, for an hour he
kept three of the pretty shop girls
busy while he dallied over one crea.
ton after another and in the end left
the store without making a purchase.
Probably no one was ever more par
ticular or harder TO suit than Harry"
Hat after hat for women was shown
to him and he did everything except
try them on his own curly brown head
He would place a hat at every angle
in his hand, holding 1t off at arm S
length to get the proper perspective,
but nothing could suit him. In the
end the girls who had been SO eager
to make a sale to Mr.. Lehr were
obliged to give II up. With a courtly
wave of the hand Mr.. Lehr left the
store and thanked the girls in grace
full manner. Mr.. Lehr was dressed I'm
a brown suit. brown hat, brown
shoes. brown socks, brown tie and
even wore a brown leather strap at
tached to his watch. which hung in
the upper pocket of his jacket.

The Local strike leaders Running This
without Hirl--Tiremen In Doubt.

The lonelest figure yesterday among
those supposed TO be of importance in the
strike situation was W. ID, Mahon, president
Of the Amalgamated Association Il Street
and Electric Railway Employees Of America
In all the previous negotiations between
the subway and elevated employees and
the Interboiough company concerning
wages houis and reguat ions Mr. Mahon
Las been among the most conspicuous of the
representatives. OF the men. Up to 8 o clock
last evening not soul directly connected
with the strike had called on him. He
said himself that he had seen none OF the
local strike leaders, nor had he an appoint
ment to meet any Of them. He said he
was not here on account Of the strike but
that the strike might detain him in New
York. His plan, however. was to 20 to
New Haven this afternoon.
From another source II was learned that
Mr.. Mahon bad seen Mr.. Pepper in the
morning and had talked the strike situation
over with hlrI informally. He also talked
TO aim over the telephone in the afternoon
III was apparent however, from the atti-
tude OF the local leaders toward the head
OF the Amalgamated Association that
having preoipltated the fight, they intended
to go it alone. fearing that the parent
organlzati might try TO call the strike of.
Mr.. Mahon said that the strike had not
been sanctioned by his organization. but
ne FASTENED to add that that did not neces-
sarlly mean that it would not be indorsed
at some future time
Timothy Bealy, president OF the Inter-
national Association Of Stationary Firenen
spent most Of the afternoon with Mr. Mahon
This gave rise TO the report that the firemen
in the big power houses of the elevated
and subway lines were going to strike in
with the motormen and train
hands and thus make II impossible for
be non-nnion men TO operate the roads.
