NEW YORK. April David Me-
Ciure. the referee appointed to hear
the case OF Mrs. Alfred g. Wander
bilt, who has brought an action be-
Ileved 60 be for absolute divorce, has
begun taking the evidence.
The first witness called before the
referee was Howard Kempster. who
was the valet OF Cornelius Wander
bilt. and who became valet for Al
fred @. Vanderbilt when the latter
became the head OF the family upon
his fathers death. He testified at
some length yesterday. and was ex-
pected to DO on the stand today, but
as the hearings are conducted behind
closed doors. the nature OF his evil
denee Is q matter OF conjecture.
The custody OF the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Vanderbilt Is expected to be one
OF the questions which have to be de-
cided by the referee.
The principal question at issue IL
said TO be the amount OF money to
be paid by Mr.. Vanderbilt. 1t Is re-
ported that Mr.. Vanderbilt has con-
scented TO the payment of lump sum
or $1,000. 600. and that II this Is ac-
cepted as satisfactory HIS defense
win be OF a passive character. but
that n Il Is rejected the action will
be actively contested.
The ground upon which Mrs. Van
derhilts suit Is brought has not been
made public II Is said Mrs. Wander
bilt 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 ON statu-
tory cause.

SALOONS oUAsHED
Dick Decision Curbs Indians Who

Dick Decision CuFbs Indians Who
Have Strong Desire for Liquor.
SPALDING. Idaho, April A.
While the adjustment of saloons
from the Neg Perez reservation may
have worked a hardship on some of
the white residents, It is conceded
that It has been beneficial to the In
dams, who have a weakness for fire.
water. At Spalding and Fort Lap
wal. where the Indians congregate in
large numbers. not one drunken red
man has been seen since the saloons
closed their doors, but prior to that
time the bibulous tribesmen were so
numerous as to be a nuisance.
The better class of Indians are re-
ioicing over the decision of the SUI
preme court, as the presence of sa-
looms on the reservation has rendered
1t difficult to control the renegades
who have an inherent weakness for
liquor. The religious Indians have
fought the liquor traffic with charae-
teristic vigor, for they recognized
that the saloons were the greatest
menace to the missionary tribesmen.
While the church-golng Indians
have always fought the liquor men,
they have not been alone, as many
Indians who are not church members
oppose the saloons. Chief George
Moses, the stoieal, honest leader OF
the tribe, is said to be responsible
for the introduction of the clause In
the treaty of 1898, which made it a
crime to introduce liquor on the
reservation. Single-handed and alone
he started the fight to close saloons
from the Indian domain, and threat
ened to block the treaty unless the
clause abolishing saloons was incor-
porated in the treaty. He was
joined by other influential tribesmen
and they won their point after a
hard struggle, as influence from
prominent white men was brought to
bear on the government in order to
eliminate the clause from the con-
tract.
Moses has never tasted a drop OF
liquor, and he has fought rum ever
since he became a factor in tribal
conferences, notwithstanding that he
is a non-churchgoer. He is pleased
that the supreme court has decided
that to enforce the treaty was not
only right of the government, but
duty, and he expects to be able to
influence the illiterate renegades to
adopt the better customs of the bet
ter class of Indians.
