USUAL DECREE
In 400" DIVORCE
MRS. ALFRED G. GRANTED ONE
WITH PERMISSION TO
REMARRY.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Mrs. Eller
French Vanderbilt was granted an in
terlocutory degree of divorce from
Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt by Justice
O'Gorman in the Supreme Court to-
day on the report of David Mcclure
the referee, who was appointed to
take testimony and determine the find.
ings in the suit instituted by Mrs.
Vanderbilt. Justice O'Gorman con.
firmed the report of the referee that
Mrs. Vanderbilt had been guilty of
misconduct, and directed that Mrs.
Vanderbilt be granted judgment of
absolute divorce.
The divorce decree provides that
Mrs. Vanderbilt may marry during the
lifetime of Mr.. Vanderbilt, but pre-
vents him from marrying during her
lifetime. The custody of William H.
Vanderbilt, the only child Of the mar
riage, was awarded to Mrs. Wander
DllI. NV pIONlolOA was IuduS tut d1i-
mony in the decree, nor was the sub
ject alluded to in the report of Ref
cree Mcclure.
The referees report developed that
testimony had been secured from Mr..
Vandrbilt's valet concerning the mis-
conduct of his employer on railroad
train year ago last October in Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Vanderbilt inherited upwards of
100000 from his father, the late
Cornelius Vanderbilt.
The crisis in the domestic affairs of
Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt developed
on April / last when Mrs. Vanderbilt
filed an action for divorce within an
hour after her husband had sailed for
England.

Judges of the United States Circuit
Court in the suit of the Government
against the company for alleging vio-
lations of the Sherman antitrust law
Delaney Nicoll took up the argument
today where it was left off by Junius
Parker and had the attention of the
court the entire days. He devoted
much time to an explanation of the
contention Of the defense that the
facts in the Nortehrn Securities case
and the tobacco action are quite diff
ferent in their purport. The Securi-
ties Company was a mere holding COM
pany. he said whereas in the tobacco
case the corporation became the bona
fide purchaser of the properties of the
constituent concerns and engaged sub
in good faith, in accordance
with their chartered powers, in the
business previously conducted by the
smaller concerns.
