Business Men Skirmish for Ra2Ors.

New Haven, June 15.--Twenty- three barber
shops closed to-day because the knights of the
razor were refused their demands for a weekly
half holiday and struck. Business men were
compelled to take trains 10 the suburbs or use
their own razors in preparing their faces for
Sunday. Several of the master BARRIERS tried to
keep their places open by doing the tonsoriai
work themselves and pressing into service the
manicurists and bootbacks TO perform the Incl
dental Iathering and hair combing
The strike affected only the first class barber
shops, and most of the patrons directly affected
were professional men who have not welded
the razor In years. Many of them waited for
hours in the crowded shops for the solitary OWL

Of faces Congressman Nehemiah Sperry missed
his dinner. because he was tail ender at line

lishment He notified the proprietor that his
beard had grown half an inch while he waited.
Nearly every razor in town had been bought up
by nightfall, the hardware stores reporting

Galveston. Tex, June 15.--The railroads Of

record.
Nearly all Of this cotton has been settled for
by the roads paying the claims. The claims are
settled on the basis OF the market price Of the
staple at the time of shipment and the greater
part of the over-cotton was given to the rail-
roads early in the season, when cotton was sell

will realize from three 10 four cents a pound on
the surplus stock hand, something over

In the rush of the busy season and the hand

badly mixed. and by careless loading and traffic
congestions shipping marks were erased. so the

GOSSIP SCENT
FAMILY ROW

NEWPORT, r. l., Oct. 1S.-While
Reginald Vanderbilt was in New York
last night denouncing international
marriages, Count Szechneyi, the for
eign fiance of Miss Gladys, packed his
bags and baggage and departed from
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred an
derbilt, where he had been a tuest
since his arrival in America.
The went post haste to The Break
ers, home of his bride-t o-be, and now
fashionable Newport is wondering if
there is not still another schism in the
Vanderbilt family--this time with
Alfred joining his brother Reginald in
open disfavor of the foreign match.
The fear among friends is no longer
concealed that before the end the count
will have opened a breach in the Van
derbilt family that will be even harder
to heal the late quarrel between Cor
nelius and his brothers. Especially do
they deplore the statements made in
New York by Reginald on Tuesday
night by his announcement of dis
pleasure at the forthcoming marriage,
which have angered his mother greatly,
and unless mediators straighten
things out between the two there is
grave doubt If the brother will attend
the nuptials or even will be welcomed
there.
Added to this is now what seems to
be grounded apprehension that
Alfred has sided with his brother
else why. at this late day, ask the gos-
sips. should the count so suddenly pick
up his traps and quit, for the home of
his fiance, the house where he had
planned to remain until the ceremony?
Strangely enough most of Newport So
ciety sides with Reginald and declares
loudly it's hope that Alfred, too, will
put the seal of his displeasure upon
the Hungarian.
Meanwhile, however. his countship
has enjoyed a very pleasant day at
The Breakers With her own hands
Miss Gladys brought him bouquets of
gardenias. his favorite flower. and the
two walked much together in the gar
den. Miss Vanderbilt also saw to the

of Yesterdays meeting of the Illinois

ance company, and Stuyvesant Fish.
Mr.. Peabody is regarded as one OF the

d,snute arose as to certain action
al a previous meeting. Mr.. Fish maze
statement of his position i'm the mat
Fer and Mr.. Peabody declared Mr.. Fish
had not voted the way he was then
voting on the subject. One word led
to another, and Mr. Peabody all but
rassed the lie to Mr.. Fish. He stated
that what Mr.. Fish said was far from
the truth.
Mr.. Fish arose and shouted Mr.
Peabody, you cannot talk to me like
that, nor is there a man living with
inches enough to tell me that l do not
tell the truth"
In his excitement Mr.. Fish had
moved toward Peabody, but made no
further hostile demonstration.
Turning to the directors he declared
that It was their evident intention to
delay matters beyond reasonable
limit and that as he had more urgent
matters he would leave for his home.
AS Mr.. Fish was passing from the
room Peabody arose and called to him
to say that he was sorry for what he
had said. Mr.. Fish at first did not
hear Mr.. Peabody. when some mem-
bar NJ the board said: Mr.. Fish, Mr..
Peabody is apologizing."
Fish did not check the speed of his
evit, but shouted: 81 have not the
slightest interest in what Mr.. Peabody
is or is not sorry for. and he can go TO
