WEDDING ENLWENED
!. BY BATTLE OF WOMEN
Brides Sisters Divorced
Husbands Second Wife
Leads Discordant
Element,

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Seven po-
licemen from the East Fifty-first
station were required last night to
straighten out a family tangle at
the wedding of Henrietta Grudberg
of II East One Hundred and
Eleventh street. The row that oc-
Cured with her sisters divorced
husbands second wife resulted in
the arrest of two of her brothers
and one of the wedding guests.
Five years ago Justice Blanchard
granted to Alexander Gurlan, a
safe and piano dealer, a divorce
from his wife, whose maiden name
was Annie Gradberg. Gurlan was
also given the custody of his two
children, Sadies and Eugene, then
Z years and / year old, respective
ly. The wife was given permission
to resume her maiden name.
Gurlan, with his second wife and
Mrs. Louis Feldman, appeared at
the Fifty-first Street station last
night, and the former told Lieuten-
ant Dunn that he wanted to get to
this wedding. He said that after
he had divorced his wife he put the
children in the custody of their
maternal grandmother. Then, about
two years ago, he added, he got
married again, and decided he
would bring the children to his
home. But, he claims, his first
wife learned of his intention and
ran off with the children to
Canada.
Mrs. Louis Feldman told Lieu
tenant Dunn that when the first
Mrs. Gurlan went to Canada she
took Mr.. Feldman with her. She
thought her spouse would be at the
wedding.
Lieutenant Dunn sent Patrolman
Burnell with the trio to the Vic
toria hall, where the wedding was
to take place.
When the policeman and Mrs
Gurlan No. 2, Gurlan and Mrs.
Feldman got to the hall DR.. Simon
Grudberg and Isaac Grudberg, the
brothers of the bride and of wife
No. l, recognized Mrs. Gurlan No
2 and forbade any of the party
from entering. There ensued a
scrap in which, the policeman says,
the brothers attacked the second
Mrs. Gurlan, and he arrested
them. Other wedding guests took
hand, and Nathan Brochard was
arrested. Six other policemen had
to be sent to Burnell's assistance,
but no other arrests were made.

TOO BAD WILL TAFT CANT. [
Have ALL HE WANTS To EAT"
Miss Della Torrey the Presidents Aged Aunt Back in
Her Home at Mlbury Mass, After Visit to the White
House, Says That Her Distinguished Nephew "Said
Several Times That He Was Worried About the Iusurg
ents, " Who Are Hindering Him in Keeping His Partys
Pledges.

MILLBURY, Mass, Feb. 90
Miss Della Torrey, aunt of Presi-
dent Taft and one of the few re-
naming persons who dare to call
him "Will," has returned from her
annual visit to her nephew and Is
loud in her praises of the White
House.
"Will," said Miss Torrey, us just
the same old Will. He's bigger
and he's buster, but in every other
way he is just the same. The peo-
pie who say that he has changed
for the worse since he became pres
ident do not know what they are
talking about.
II am 81 years of age, and I
have known Will ever since he
was a baby. He is just as simple
and unaffected as he was when he
used to come here to Millbury on
his vacations from college,"
Miss Torrey alluded briefly to
the abstemious habits the president
enforces for the sake of his physi-
cal wellbeing.
1T seems too bad" she said,
"that"that he can't have ell he
wants to eat; but l suppose it's for
the best. They have their cow in
Washington, and l had some of her
cream for breakfast every morn
ing. 1t was fine. Mrs. Taft, who,
by the way, hasn't been feeling at
all we'll of late-poor Helen-en-
gagged a chef in New York. l said
to her: Helen, is your chef man
or a woman and she said, oh, a
woman. l could never get along
with a man in the kitchen!' And
that's the way I'd feel about a man
cook, too. Still, there are great
many who have them, and have
good things to eat, too.
Twill said several times that he
was worried about the insurgents.
He said that he was working hard
to keep the pledges which his
party had made to the people, and
that the insurgents hindered him.
And what he says is right, because
he is one of the honestest men
that ever lived. I don't like insur-
gents. He will certainly do every
thing that he can to keep all the
promises that anyone whom he was
responsible for ever made. You
may be sure of that.
Another thing that I am sure
he would be in favor of, if he
thought it was really wanted, is

The Reason for
the Red Cross

We realize that there are great
many people in this community that
have not had their dental work
done for the reason of the high
prices for dental services. There
are so many people that have a
well-founded distrist for the den
lists and dental companies that
hold out taking inducements to get
the prospective patient into their
offices that it is no wonder that
they have become skeptical. Now
we are offering a straight business
proposition to every one. We will
make the very best 22K solid gold
crown for $3.50 and the very best
plate for $3.50. Now we do not ex-
|patiate on the merits of any partic-
ular gold or any particular rubber,
for that is the fankest buncombe,
but we tell you that the materials
used are the very best that money
can buy. We do not make any
claim of superiority over other den
lists in point of professional excel
lence, based upon any such idiotic
proposition that we are practicing
..
for trade name for a dental office
rests in the proposition that the
combination of the various names
of the members of the firm of any
big concern is awkward and I'M
wieldly and as a name is the last
consideration especially in a dental
office. Now we rather liked the
name RED CROSS for the reason
that it conveys the idea of cleanli-
ness and carefulness along with
scientific attainments. For these
reasons we call our firm the RED
CROSS DENTISTS. The phenom-
email success of this office and the
truths we have told the people of
the grating and dishonest proceed
ure of some of our competitors has
caused them to make untruthful as
sertions that in the light of the
facts of the case are positively
ridiculous. They say that we can
not make 22K solid gold. crown
for $3.50, yet we go ahead making
them every day. They say that we
cannot make the best plate for
$3.50, yet we have turned out any
number of them. They say that the
dentist that is a college graduate
will not work for such prices, yet
all our men are graduate and
licensed dentists with years of ex-
perience and there are no Japs or
cheap Laboratory men employed in
this office. Remember, we are out
of the high rent district and that
by walking 20 feet off Riverside you
can save dollars. At the present
time our entrance is badly torn up
and you will have some difficulty
in getting up to us, but you will
make good money by finding us.
