Young Society Woman, Prom- inent for Her Beauty, Said to Have Cut Him Because He was So Young. Society circles of this city were stirred to-day by the announcement in a de- spatch from Boston of the attempted suicide of Walter Alexander Rembert Hall, a student in Harvard University, who Is one of the most popular young men in what fs known as the younger set. Only last Friday night young Hall, whose mother lives in a brown-stone mansion at No, 61 West Seventy-first street, was one of the ‘merriest at the Assembly Bali given at Dalmonico's, and after the ball he confided in his brother, Lyman David Hall, a junior at the New York -Law School, that he was engaged to be married.

Prepared His Obituary. It was evident that he intended to end his life, an he hed previously eqnt his obituary to the Boston papers. Several bystanders who saw the young man take the drug and then stagger toward the door and fall unconscious across the threshold, summoned an ambulance, and the young man wes taken to the City jlospital, where several doctors worked upon him «until he was restored to con- sciousness, When Lyman David Hall, the brother of the young man, was informed of his mpted suicide to-day, he exclaimed: he poor feliow. 1 can't understand What made do such a thing. ‘Walter came down from Cambridge last Friday just on purpose to go to unis dance’as he expected to meet there the young woman he nas been very at- t.

HUNTED FOR HIM ALL DAY. Attorney-General Cunneen De- Clines District-Attorney’s Re- quest that He Take Up Case Against Inspector Brooks. Jerome's county detectives with a bas- ‘ketful of subpoenas were watching all trains that could possibly make any con- nection with Newport in the hope of meeting Reginald Vanderbilt to-day. ‘The TAstrict-Attorney wants the young man very badly so that testimony of some value may be secured aga! Riohard Canfield, gambler, art oonnots- seur and advocate of “home” rights, but @t 4 o'clock the young man was still in Newport, according to a despatch re- celved by The Evening World. Reginald, at ‘his last birthnight celebra- tion, is eaid to have gone to Canfeld's “home” on Forty-fourth street, where he iost the price of a house. Mr. Je- rome wants him to tell all about it. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, who a: rived from Newport on the Fall River boat Plymouth to-day, was mistaken for his brother, Reginald, at the pier by County Detective Maher. Maher had @ subpoena for Reginald, Im fect, he did pot leave Rhode Ist- and last night. Alfred Gwynne, his wife and Miss Kathieen Neilson, who is Reginald’s fiancee, boarded the Ply- mouth at Newport. Reginald was not with them. Alfred Gwynne said that his young brother was about to start to New York on a train, Whether he will come in by way of the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford or not is @ question. It is not necessary for him to come into New York by that route. From Providence he can go wp to Worcester or Boston and take the Boston and Albany to Al- pany. From there he can come into New York by the New York Central or the West Shore, or he can Jeave the train up the Hudson and come into town on an automobile. If he is intent on keeping out of the way of the District-Attorney’s minions there is no chance for them to catch’ him coming into town. Lying in Wait for Him. Sleuths were stationed at the Grand Central station, at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and at Mott Haven to-day watching trains on the New York, New Haven and Hartford in the hope of serving young Vanderbilt. It had been reported that he left Provi- dence on the midnight express from Boston. The conductor of this train sald that he hed held his train on orders at Providence to take aboard a passenger—a young man—but that the passenger did not get aboard when he saw a crowd of neweparer men on the platform in Providence. County Detective Maher did not be- eve the report from Newport that Reginald Vanderbilt was not on board the Plymouth, He ts a wise sleuth, “A stall,” said Maher to himself, So he went down to the Fall River pler before daylight and waited for the boat. Wien it came in he was the first man aboard, He met Alfred Vanderbilt, who was starting ashore to arrange for the comfort of his wife and Miss Neil- aon. The Wrong Vanderbilt. “Beg pardon,” said Maher, “but are you not Reginald Venderbiet’ “No, sir, I am not,” replied Alfred Gwynne genially, I'm from the Diatrict-Attorney's office,” said Maher, ‘Can you teH me where I can find your brother?” “I cannot tell you," replied Mr, Van- derbilt, smiling, “Stung!” muttered Maher, Neverthe- less, he wpiched the boet for an hour, ‘thinking it was possible that Reginald might come ashore in the disguise of a deckhand or a cook.

She Was Found Dead in Their Home from Poison by Mother on Her Return from a Shop- ping Tour. ‘When Margaret, the sister of Charles Dale, a cashier of the New York County Bank, heard of his suicide in his home at Staten Ysiand three months ago she remarked that rome day she would end er own life, and to-day she made good her threat. During the absence of her mother from their home, at No. 2073 Bathgate avenue, she drank carbolic acid, ‘A deep affection existed between Charles Dale and his sister. On her side it amounted almost to adoration, He was a hardworking man who made als way up from a small position in the bank to the post of cashier, and she took extreme pride in his advancement. In his anxiety to get along he worked too hard, and the strain caused him to lose his mind. While suffering from temporary insanity he shot himself tn the head within the hearing of his family at his home. Margaret Daie was prostrated at the death of her brother. Her threate of spicide af the time were taken as evi- dences of delirium, but it was learned to-day from her mother that she re- peated them frequently and that the sorrow she felt originally did not dimin- {sy as time went by, Despite the des- pondency of her daughter Mrs. Dale had no idea that she would carry out her threat, for she was a well-balanced, sensible girl. Mother Was Out Shopping. ‘The mother, Mrs. Cornelia Dale, went out shopping to-day, leaving Margaret aione in the house. When she returned after two hours she rang the bel! at the front door, but got on response. ‘Think- ing her daughter had gone out Mrs. Dale went to tho rear of the house and entered through the kitchen.
