CIublnan EdW. Barron
in Row at Fairmont
Society Fav0Fife StumbIes Into
Wrong Room, Falls Asleep
and Iss Elected

DIR. Albert Abrams was the most
surprised man in tile world laA night,
when. entering his apartments at the
F'airpont, he discovered lying asleep
on his bed Edward Barron, prominent
social fayorite and clubman. Barron
was surprised and indignant when he
was lifted roughly from his couch of
ease and thrust into the corridor of
the hotel. A full lobby stood UP in
wonder as the gallant young man, hat
less and dishevelled, raced for the
swinging doors of the hotel with a
house detective at his heels and the
irate and indignant physician in close
pursuit.
How or why Barron got into DR..
Abrams. rooms is a mystery He did
not stop TO explain. DR.. Abrams does
not understand it. In fact, the physf-
clan said last night that he had never
before been introduced to the young
Nclubman.
1t was explained that Barron had
been disturbed several times while he
was attempting to take a nap on the
soft. luxurious settees of the lobby. and
that. piqued at this interference, he
took the elevator. to the second floor
and entered the first apartment that
looked inviting. DIR. Abrams had left
his door. OPEN. When the medico re-
turned he found the gay Lothario- fast
asleep.
When ejectment proceedings were
commenced Barron revolted A tussle
ensued. Barron ,would. have used the
furniture in the defense of his posi-
ton. but he was .overpowered.
Abrams followed him to the lobby.
When he spied the gay gathering of
guests the young man became excited
and rushed for the door. DR.. Abrams
was holding his head and this led
many, to believe that in the argument
he had received some injury. DR.. Alb
rams, however denied that he had been
personally affronted.
Someeof the women guests expressed
great anxiety over the hurriededepart-
ure of the clubman. and search was
made ,for his hat. 1t was not to be
found in DIR. Abrams apartments.
