IA|NDERBILTS FIGHT
FOR Child OF SIX
HUSBAND RESlSTS AN EFFORT
ON W,FE's PART TO GAIN
CUSTODY OF BOY. ~
AllMONY OF $1,5Oo,o0o
IS ALSO A BIG FACTOR
That Amount Said 20 Have Been
Offered, But Counsel for Pla'ntt'
Declares Amount Too Small, 40
eordinq to One Report.

New York, Apr. "A hard legal bat
lie for the custody OF their six-year-oA
son will be fought by Mr.. and Mrs.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt in their present
divorce proceedings before Referee
David Mcclure. --.--.
Mrs. Vanderbilt insists that the child
he loft in her charge, subject to such;
restrictions in the matter OF visiting
the father Is tho court may see 1T to
impose. Mr.. Vanderbilt will fight this
proposition to the limit. He wants the
boy himself. nrr.:
This easily 10 tho most important
question to be decided In the litigation.
It ovorshadows the huge demand for
alimony made by Mrs. Vanderbilt. IL.
though this Is something Of IN issue in
itself. Mrs. Vanderbilt insists on
some huge amount not yet stated.
Talk Of 81, SOC, 900 AIinnony. II
Mr.. Vanderbilt has agreed to pay
91,500,o00. II this is accepted and the
disposition Of tho child satisfactorily
arranged, his defense to his wife's suit
will be passive. Otherwise hs will
make an active defense.
The ground upon which Mrs. Van
derbilt's suit is brought has not been
made public. She might have brought
action in Rhode Island, where she was
living, upon any one Of several
grounds. Any action for divorce in
New York must be based on the statu-
tory cause.
Valet 10 First Witness.
Referee Mcclure took evidence FRI
day. The first witness was How
ard Kempster, who was Cornelius Van
Lderbilt's valet. and who became valet
for Alfred G. Vanderbilt when tho lat
ter became the head of the family upon
his fathers DEATH
1t is said that Kempster has enjoyed
. position with Mr.. Vanderbilt consid-
-srably more confidential than that of
tho ordinary valet, and the fact that
he was left behind az q witness when
his employer sailed for Europe is taken
to indicate the taking of the evidence
will proceed rapidly and that the hear
4ngs will reach an early conclusion:
No member of the Vanderbilt family
has yet attended the hearing, But Mrs.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt may be called to
testify to the date of her marriage.

15c TO THOMASTON
Reguiar Schedule Will Begin
 TO-MOrroW oB New Line.

Cars will run to Thomaston to- morrow. The first will leave Ex- change place at 6:15 and the first from Thomaston will leave at 7:07. Every 45 minutes thereafter cars will run to and from the clock town, passing through the deserted village of Reynolds Bridge, once very ac" tive little place in the knife indus try until the trusts got a hold of the business. The las. car for Thomaston will leave Waterbury at 1O:52 and the last from Thomaston will leave at 11:37. Going to Thomaston the car will be an ex- press and will not drop any passen- gers until it reaches the boulevard. The fare is 15 cents, which is con- sidered very reasonable and the time taken to cover the distance be. tween the two terminals is 45 min- utes. The scenery on the way is very nice and the ride in general way a good one, going over first class road bed.

Utilizing Sharks Teeth.

The natives on some of the Pacific islands. being provided with neither metals nor any stone harder than the coral rocks of which the atolls they inhabit are composed, would seem bad ly of. indeed, for material of which to make tools or weapons were it not that their very necessity has bred an invention no less ingenious than curi- ous and effective. This is nothing less than the use of sharks teeth to give a cutting edge to their wooden knives and swords. The mouth of the shark contains 300 teeth arranged in five rows, all closely lying upSa each other, except the outer row, and so construct ed that as one tooth is broken or lost another takes its place. The teeth are not only pointed and keen edged, but are finely and regularly serrated, so that the cutting power is greatly in- creased. Indeed. so great a faculty have these teeth for wounding that the implements and weapons upon which they are used have to be handled with great care. The Kingmill islanders make many strange articles of sharks teeth,

COVER THE FRUIT
Board 0i BesIih Passed aR
 Ordinance Yesterday.

The board of health at it's meet ing yesterday afternoon passed an ordinance which in the future will prohibit the display of articles of diet in front of sores, doorways and any place where carriers of in. lection may fly on it. The board at a recent meeting discussing this subject and acting upon the sug- gestion of Food and Milk Inspector Dr P. T. Keeley gave their atten- tion 70 the matter and the ordinance is the result. Cherries, grapes, peaches, plums, berries, apples pears and all such fruit cannot long, CT be on stands where the dirt and dust will reach them. Neither can they be in place where the flies will light on them Carriers of in~ lection make exposed fruits alive with germs and the new ordinance is expected to materially benefit the health of the public. The ordinance was sent to the city attorney for his approval. Commissioners Finn, Bland and Mackie were present ac the meeting.

DRINK BrTrERnLK.

Asked what was the best summef drink. a famous physician replied: 'Buttermilk. and it is also the best winter drink. the best drink all the year round" Noted European sei- eniists have come to the same con- elusion as American physicians. after some years of tests. and it Is nov declared that a minimum of one quart of buttermilk a day will add from 10 to go years to a mans life In fact. buttermilk as a remedial agent cannot be praised too highly. The lac ic acid. the sour of the but termilk. attacks and dissolves every sort of earthly deposit in the blood vessels.

The Bachelors Excuses.

At a wedding breakfast the bach elors were called upon to give their reasons for remaining single. The fol- lowing were among the reasons given:
 T am like the frog in the fable who, though he loved the water, would not jump into the well because he could not jump out again"
 "I am too selfish and honest enough to admit it."
 q prefer, on the one hand, liberty, refreshing sleep. the opera. midnight suppers, quiet seclusion, dreams, ci- sars, a bank account and club to, on the other hand, disturbed rest, cold meat. baby linen. soothing sirup, rock ing horses. bread pudding and empty pockets"

HORSE STEPPED ON HIM.
Man Went Home With a Badly
 Swollen Foot.

A city laborer in charge of a horse and cart was put out of busi- ness on North Square yes erday af- ternoon shortly before 5 o'clock. H. was standing near his horse which looked as if it did not care whether school kept or not, when for some reason he stepped on the animals foreleg. The horse returned the compliment by stepping on the mans right foo. and keeled him over. With the assistance of the Italian consul to North Square, Sam George, the man was able to remove his shoe and stocking and bathe his foot under the fountain. In a short time l. swelled so that it looked as if the water tank in the middle of the square was about large enough for 1t. The Italian consul gave him all the sympathy possible "Poora da freshman hava da drink" said he.
 "Oh, don't bother me-" said the crippled man. q don't drink" But he did. for it was water the Italian offered him. The man was helped into his cart and he drove away.

GIVES UP TOBACCO AT ee.
Man Anxious to Be 100 Puts Away
 Pipe After 75 Years.

Eager to live until he is 100 years old. and fearful that if he continues to smoke il will impair his health and prevent him from attaining the century goal, Augustine Washington Cromwell. 96 years old, has quit smoking after 75 years of indul- genee in the weed. Cromwell, who says he is direct descendant of Oli-. yer Cromwell. lives in Norwood. which is between here and Philadel- phia. He makes his home with his granddaughter and her husband, Mir and Mrs Henry Pringle Ford. in Mohawk ayenre. They have a child. 3 years old. and that great granddaughter is the almost con- stant companion of the old mans who has outlived all his children.
 Until three years ago he old man was strong enough to walk from Philadelphia to the League Island navy yard and to Cramps shipyard. He is blind now and only goes out when he has some one to look af> ter him. He says he distinctly re- members the visit Of Lafayette to he home town of the Cromwells. Kennebunkport, Me. in 1924. There was a note of regret in the voice of the old man to-day when he said to his granddaughter:
 "I guess I'd better quit tobacco. I'm getting along in years now. ana although tobacco never has hurt me. a man of my age has 70 be careful and I want 10 live to he 100 years old. Therefore it's about time to stop the habit
 He knocked the tobacco out of his pipe and laid it away. with a faint suspicion of a sigh, but win firm resolve.-New York Press.

BRASS CITY LEAGUE TROUBLES.
President Kelly Resigns and Will
 Give Back Managers Money.

There were only three teams rep- resented at the meeting of the Brass City league last evening and the meeting adjourned until Thursday night. President Kelly has rendered his resignation and will give to eacn manager the money deposited with him. Manager Mulhall of the De- lenders claims to have been waylaid or something like that on the way home from the meeting by eight of the Brownies. The bitterness engen- dered into the league seems to have gone past the hope of wiping out and the league is on the point of disrup- tion unless things change before Thursday night.
