was computed generation ago. Swe.

VANDERBILT SUIT.
Taking of Testimony Begins,

Rushed.
VALET THE FIRST WITNESS
All Evidence Expected 10 be in Courts
Hands Before Vanderbilt Lands
In England.

New York, April 2The first testi-
mony in the divorce suit Of Mrs Elsie
French Vanderbilt against her husband
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, which was
filed In the supreme court yesterday,
was taken to-day before Referee David
Mcclure. Howard Kempster the per-
sonal valet of Mr.. Vanderbilt, was the
one witness called to-day, The fact
that the valet did not depart with his
employer on the Mauretania yesterday
caused some comment but his appear
ance before the referee would indicate
that the reason he did not do so was
the desire of the parties to the action
to rush matters. Whether he appear
ed under subpoena or by arrangement
was not shown. When the hearing
was adjourned none of the persons in
terestod would talk for publication, but
II was admitted that the evidence and
recommendations Of the referee would
probably be In the hands Of the court
before Mr.. Vanderbilt reached the 9TH
er side on the steamship Mauretania.
| Usually In cases of this sort the taking
of testimony does not begin for weeks
after the appointment of the referee,
ad then 1t is allowed to drag. The ex-
PLANTATION for the expedition shown in
this case, given by those most closely
interested, is that Mrs. Vanderbilt is
anxious that It should be discussed of
at once.
