Jayne HILL met Prince Radolin, Ger
man ambassador TO France and the
Princess Radolin at the reception Civ

ess manifested particular cordiality to
DIR. Hill, the prince assuring him that
the reception accorded him as Ameri-
can ambassador in Berlin would be all
the warmer on account of the unfor-
tunate incident of his acceptability at

gress for the purchase of BETTING resi-
dences 70 the American ambassadors

Chicago, April 3.The largest crowd
ever attracted by a similar event in
Chicago Is expected to gather tonight
at Dexter pavilion to witness the match
between George Hackenschmidt, "The
Russian Lion" championship wrestler
OF the world. and Frank Cotch of Iowa,
The champion catch-as-ca tch-can wrest-
Ter OF America The match will be for

three falls win decide the struggle and
the only hold barred will be the dead
ly strange. Gotch was regarded today
by bettors and critics as having about
an even chance to separate Hackcn-
schmidt from his title ana 1t was ar
gued that IL Hackenschmidt wins, he
must win quickly. If he desn't get the
first fall inside of 80 minutes it was
contendod that Gotch's power of endur-
anc9 is likely to win the match for him.
The Russian has seldom been asked to
go tho route over long distance, while
Gotch is used to the endurance gait
GOTCH's CHIEF DANGER.
Gotchs chief danger. ii is said, lay in
the famous headhold of the foreigner.
This hold, Hackenschmidt claims Ia
equal 10 or even better than the painful
toe hold upon which Gotch will rely
for the victory. 1t is a lock- with I'm
gers clinched over the top Of the head
and with n man as powerful as Hacken-
schmidt. II is said to be even more eff
fective than the famous strangle hold,
barred on account of it's injurious ef-
fects. Hackenschmidt is said to have
practised this new hold. together with

THE MEMS MEASUREMENTS.
Both men have been in training at
the local clubs for tie past 10 days and
will enter the ring in excellent condi-

The purse for the match IS said to

VANDERBILT
DIVORCE CASE
First Witness Called Was How
ard Kempster, Cornelius
Vanderbllt'S Valet.
WHAT HE TOLD IS UNKNOWN.
Proceedings Held Behind Closed Doors
Principal Question said TO he
Amount OF Alimony.

New York, April 3.--Dayid Mcclure
the referec appointed to hear the case
OF Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt who has
brought am action believed to be for ao-
solute divorce, has begun taking the
evidence. The first witness called be-
foro the referee was Howard Kemp
ster, who was the valet OF Cornelius
Vanderbilt, and who became valet for
Alfred c. Vanderbilt when the latter
became the head OF tho family upon
his fathers death. lie testified at some
length yesterday and was expected TO
be on the witness stand again today,
but MS the hearings are conducted be-
hind closed doors the nature of his
evidence is n matter of conjecture.
WALLETS POSITION.
Ii is said that Kempster has enjoyed
position with Mr.. Vanderbilt consid-
erably more confidential than that Of
the ordinary valet and the fact that
he was left behind as witness when
his employer sailed for Europe is taken
to indicate the taking of the evidence
Will proceed rapidly and that the hear
ings Will reach iun early conclusion.
This is said to be in accordance with
the wishes of all concerned, including
the immediate relatives of both Mr.. and
Mrs. Vanderbilt, but 1t is believed that
Mrs. Alfred q. Vanderbilt win be call
ed to testify to the date of her mar
riage. This is expected to be the extent
of her testimony.
The custody of the 6-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt is expected to
be one of the questions which the ref
cree will have to decide. 1t is under
stood that Mrs. Vanderbilt insists that
the child be left in her charge subject
to such restrictions in the matter OF
paternal visits as the court may see
fit to impose.
QUESTION OF ALIMONY.
The principal question at issue is
said to be the amount of alimony TO be
paid by Mr., Vanderbilt. II is reported
that Mr.. Vanderbilt has consented to
the payment of a lump sum OF $780,,
600, and that if this is accepted as sat
isfactory his defense will be of a pas
sive character. but that IL il be reject
ed the action Will be actively contested.
The ground upon which Mrs. Wander
bills suit Is brought has not been made
public. In that connection 1t is said that
Mrs. Vanderbilt might have brought
action for divorce In Rhode Island.
where she was living upon any one of
several grounds. Any action for divorce
in New York must be based upon the
statutory cause.
