VANDERBILT WINS.
People of His Town Vote i'm Fa.
vor of Leasing Him Property.

New York, oct. 3i.--After a struggle
lasting eighteen months William X.
Vanderbilt, Jr., has succeeded In gain
ing permission to close the public high
way leading to Lake Success on his
beautiful Long Island estate near
Hampstead.
Failing to purchase the lake after
acquiring his estate around that body
of water Mr. Vanderbilt asked for the
strip of ground that forms the connect
Ing link between an old road and wa
tiers of the lake. There was nothing
of record TO show that the board OF
trustees of North Hampstead ever ao-
qulred ownership Of the disputed right
of way to the lake save by prescription
and use The idea that Mr.. Vanderbilt
would stock the stream with FISH and
hold II as a private preserve raised
much opposition.
Previous to the election a year ago
he made an offer of $4,000 to the town
for the lake. IL was determined to
settle the question by ballot So in
tense was the feeling that the vote
polled was more than that at the presi-
dental election and the offer was re-
jeoted Finally Mr. Vanderbilt APP
peared before the trustees and applied
for lease running 80 years, In return
for which concession he proposed open
ing a road to the lake by another route,
His opponents still refused to capitu-
late, but the matter was put to vote
Of the board and he won
