Hanpencd During Outing

It was all an incident in an out ing Of the three Connecticut judges, who started out from their three different counties on Friday April 2S. and motored 10 Cornwall to the rural estate ot Judge Leonard J. Nickerson Frost Vas coming out of the ground over there and th" roads were in such condition that Judge Nickersou decided not to join the party in it's further journey, so the three dispensers of Connecticut justice spattered along over the Litchfield roads up to Salisbury, where they stayed over night al an inn and in the morning got into their hiking togs for long noun tain tramp.
 Uu through the little hamlet of JoyceyilIe where the ancestors Of one of the early husbands of Peggy Hop kins Joyce used to hold almost feud- al sway, tramped the three promin- ent members of the Connecticut bench. but they did not look their judicial parts. Once there they went to the preserves of Judge Donald TT. Warner on Nil. Riga.
 Then the journey of the judges led to Bash Bi.h Falls,

 The falls are practically at tho corner of three states. Massachusetts New York and Connecticut, The Con- rnrcricut nuists were sulding along down the Bash Bish Falls road il Mass. where they came upon d se- dan almost hopel.ssly stuck in tn imud.

ough to the Duke what years ago was described as a feud between Mrs. William Nissan Vanderbilt, now Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont and
 mother of the former duchess, and the now Dowager Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt for social supremacy at Newport, summer lounging place Tor the elite.
 The w. K. Vanderbilts had built famous Marble House, and the Cornelius Nanderbilts immediately began to plan a more imposing and costly mansion. This finally took shape in the Breakers, the largest country home in the United States with its more than 160 rooms, sit uated on Ochre Point.
 In 1895 both Vanderbilt families were firmly entrenched at Newport.
 Each had a debutante daughter Gertrude, child of Mir. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Consuelo,
 daughter of William Nissan Van
 derbilt and his wife. known as the beautiful Mabel Smith of Mobile. Ala.
 Legend has it that the Cornelius | Vanderbilts planned 8 coming out
 party for Gertrude at the official opening of the Breakers in August
 and invitations were issued. Mean
 while Mrs. Willie K. scored notable
 coup over her sister-in law by in-
 viting the young Duke of Marl-
 borough to be a house guest at Marble House.
 1 The Score Is Evencd 1 With the duke in residence at Mrs. Willie Ks the social score was
 considered about even, the duke's | presence having served to balance
 the greater magniflcence of the Breakers over Marble House. Mrs Willie K. however, the social sharps asserted, was still holding

HAND-T0-HAND FIGHT
Pacific Steamer Arrives In Port With Story As Wild As Any Jack London Ever Wrote,

Los Angeles, Nov. 16 [P-A hand 10 hand battle to death on the high seas between two men of great physical strength-like those who fought their way through the pages of Kipling, Conrad and London was revealed here last night by the issuance of a warrant by the United States district attorneys office charging H.

party in honor of Consuelo, to which
 Marlborough would add lustre by his presence.
 At the same time it was whispered
 that the engagement of Consuelo to the duke would be announced. The date set by Mrs. Willie K. for her
 party was several days ahead of that selected by Mrs. Connie for Ger trude's debut. The debut of Con-
 selo and the announcement that she
 had landed the greatest society
 catch of the season for a husband coming a day or so ahead of the function of Mrs. Connie Is said to have been considered by some of the
 high social lights of the day to have
 tilted the balance for social su- premacy in favor of Mrs. Willie k. Match Was Fixed Up
 Notwithstanding the excitement. the announcement of the engage ment caused, it was common report among the society gossips that the match was none of Consuelo Van- derbit's planning. It was said also that William Nissan Vanderbilt op- posed it. At the same time there
 was talk of another love match tn-
 volving Consuelo to which her moth- CT objected. Eventually the mar riage of Consuelo and the duke took place and the event was regarded as
 the greatest triumph in the social
 career of Mrs. William K. and as establishing herself as the leader of the Vanderbilt family in society. The despatch from London say ing that part Of the evidence sub mitted 10 the Diocesan court In
 Southwark which recommended an- nulment of the marriage of Con- suelo and the duke comprised let ters to Consuelo from her American suitor whom she would have mar
