SISTER GLADYS WITH HER. Great Mansion on Fifth Avenue Opened, and Reginald’s Wedaing Is Believed to Be Set for a Time Nearby. ‘The members of the Vanderbilt family returning to New York one by one and society has a fresh rumor of a complete reconciliation with Cornellus, ‘the eldest son and brother, who is just now convalescent after an attack of typhoid. fever. Mrs. Vanderbilt, with her daughter Gladys, returned to New York from Europe to-day on the Hamburg liner Blucher, and the big mansion at the en- trance to the park was opened for the first time in several months. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt came down from their Newport home yester- day to meet Mrs, Vanderbilt, and Regin- ald, the youngest of the family, who for several weeks has been dodging Dis- trict-Attorney Jerome's subpoena ser- vers, followed them. Mrs. Vanderbilt went to Europe on Oct. 7 and was abroad during the illness of her son, It !s said that she was moved by the continued coldness of her other children to thelr brother, and sent a cablegram to the young wife whom she had long refused to recognize. It may be that the message was sent ip. an. emotional: moment, and, that she will retain the attitude of coldness to- ward the family that, according to Vai derbilt custom, should bave inherited the greater part of the Vanderbilt mill- fons. What the developments of the next few days will be is a question much discussed In New York society. ‘ ‘The mansion at Fifty-seventa street and Fifth avenue has been prepared for Mrs, Vanderbilt's homecoming. Work- men have been at work for weeks golng over the floors and hanging ‘h> new curtains and laces sent In advance from Europe.

Mo- Cabe, district superintendent of schools, has notified them that he has started an investigation, and {s anxtous for all information on the subject. Philip {s a delicate lad, elght years old. ‘The school is only a short dis- tance from his home, and he attends only one session a day, going home at noon. Friday he was helped into the house by two of his little friends, and as he crossed the threshhold he fell fainting to the floor. He had suffered from nausea all the way home. ‘He soon became unconscious, but his mother says he told her before he lost his senses that the teacher struck him. A high fever at once set in and in his delirium the ohtid cries: “Don't choke me!
