VANDERBILT HEARING BEGUN.
Arrangements Made Whereby Divorce
Proceedings viii Be Pushed.

New York, April 3.-The first testi-
mony in the divorce suit of Mrs. Elsie
French Vanderbilt against her hus
band. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, which was
filed in the supreme court Wednesday,
was taken Thursday before Referee
David Mcclure
Howard Kempster, the personal
valet of Mr. Vanderbilt was the one
witness called. The fact that the valet
did not depart with his employer on
the Mauritania Wednesday caused
some comment, but his appearance be-
fore the referee would indicate that
the reason he did not do so was the
desire of the parties to the action to
rush matters through. Whether he
appeared under subpoena or by ar
rangement was not shown.
When the hearing was adjourned
none of the persons interested would
talk for publication, but it was admit
ted that the evidence and recommend
atoms of the referee probably would
be in the hands of the court before
Mr.. Vanderbilt reaches the other side
on the ship Mauretania.

The deposit is said to be the finest

Cracker writes from Polk
county to propose a method of
abolishing taxation. In view of
the immense amount of money
spent in the late primaries, he sug-
gests that all the offices be auc-
toned of to the highest bidders
for cash and the money be turned
into the State treasury to pay off
the State debt and the current ex-
penses of government, As there
are some 500 State and county
Offices, "Cracker" thinks that they
would bring enough money,if sold
atauction, to obviate the necessity
for taxation. And the candidates
would be saved time, trouble,
travelling expenses and mutual
tongue-lashings. But if this were
done, the people would miss lots
of fun, including the glorious
privilege of voting, and they
might also be robbed mercilessly
in ways they wot not of.
