ALFRED'S MOTHER
IS STRIVING To
RESTORE PEACE
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Said
to Be EndeayOring to Mend
Couples Troubles.

NEW YORK. March 26.-Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt sr., mother of Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt the richest young
man in America. has sided with his
wife in their marital troubles. The
younger Mrs. Vanderbilt. who was Miss
Elsie French, is now stopping with her
mother-in-law at her Fifth avenue
home. She has been received by the
older woman with a sympathy and
kindly protection that has gone lar to
assuage her grief over the separation
winch seemed inevitable for months
past
Because Of the elder Mrs. Wander
bilts attitude. close friends Of the fam
ily now believe that Mrs. Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt will not seek di
Yorce, but win be content with a final
separation The Vanderbilt prestige
would suffer by a divorce action, and
it is believed that Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt. sr, will use all her influence
in an effort to prevent such an action.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was a,t-ed today if
the 'rumors started al Newport that he
and his wife had finally separated were
correct. He said.
81 have nothing TO say
"Will you deny that Mrs. Vanderbilt
intends to seek n separation"
NO, do not care what Is published.
The primary cause Of the Disagree
ment, so friends claim, lies in Mr.. Van
derbilt's deep distaste for society and
his love for sport. Many time when a
function has been going on at his New
port place Mr.. Vanderbilt has slipped
away to visit his stable. and many
quarrels have arisen from his devotion
to horsehesh.
The Brenchley- Dietrich scandal also
Is said to be in large measure respon-
sible for the separation. When Harry
Brenchley. n groom for Mr.. Vanderbilt,
fed to Europe last winter and his name
was coupled with that of Mrs. Alfred
S. Dietrich, Mr.. Vanderbilt's name
at the same time was mentioned IN
connection with that Of a beautiful
Spanish woman who lived on Riverside
drive. Records left behind by Brenchley
purported to show that Mr. Vanderbilt
purchased 10000 automobile for this
woman.
