NEW YORK, March 31.-A motor
cycle policeman had an exciting chase
out Madison avenue this afternoon.
For thirteen blocks he pursued Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt, and It looked like
a losing game for the officer when for
tune favored him and he placed the
young muti-millionaire under arrest.
Young Vanderbilt, who is lieuten-
ant in the Twelfth regiment. National
Guard of New York, is an enthusiastic
chauffeur and takes delight in long
country runs. A few years ago he
broke the automobile record from New
port to Boston, but on his return trip
he made considerably less speed. He
was held up by the country constables
at numerous small towns. Vanderbilt
and his French chauffeur ran out of
money paying fines and the run into
Newport was completed at a rate Of
speed that admitted no further ar
rests.
Runs Into Excavation
Todays adventure, however, ended
disastrously for the big red machine
and it's fearless driver. In attempting
to turn corner at a cross street ard
make for more open going the ma
chine ran into an excavation which had
been only partially filed in with loose
dirt and was standing full of water
and mud The rapidly moving ma
chine swerved wildly and for an in
stant seemed about to turn over. The
plucky chauffeur stuck to his post.
however, and tried to bring his ma
chine out of it's predicament, but the
wheels on the right side had sunk 50
deeply into the mud that the machn-
cry beneath was clogged.
AS young Vanderbilt started to leave
the automobile he was overtaken by
the officer and placed under arrest.
The millionaire chauffeur was taken
to a nearby police station, where he
calmly gave his name and address and
was shortly afterward released on $200
bail.
The officer who arrested Vanderbilt
said afterward that he had no idea
that he was hunting such large game.
He said he saw,that the machine was
exceeding legal speed and he gave
chase after having called in vain for
the man to come to stop.
