 the Case.
 New York, April 2.-The crisis in the domestic affairs of Alfred Gwynna Vanderbilt, which society had been ex- pecting for some time past, came when his wife, Mrs Elsie French Wander bilt, filed an action against him in the supreme court in this city.
 According to court official who says he saw the papers 1t is suit for absolute divorce.
 Scarcely had the Cunarder Maureta. mia left the harbor with the richest young man in the world" aboard of her bound for Europe when lawyers representing him and his wife appear. ed in the county courthouse, City Hall park, with the papers in the suit
 The preliminary steps in the case were taken with the greatest show of secrecy.
 It appeared from the papers that the lawyers had previously appeared be. fore Supreme Court Justice O'Gorman, who upon their application had ap- pointed David Mcclure, the lawyer of P William street, referee to take the testimony and report to the court. This is the customary procedure in divorce cases where it is desired to avoid pub. licity.
 Every One In Case Silent.
 No one concerned in the action would make any statement.
 Mir. Vanderbilt was asked before he sailed as to his reported separation from his wife. It was not positively known at that time that her suit had been begun, inasmuch as the papers had not been filed.
 q have nothing to say about this matter" he said. Ut is a personal af- fair, and my lips are sealed"
 He vouchsafed the information that he expected to stay in London until May and was going to drive the coach Venture to Brighton for six weeks, dis. playing his horses at the annual show, and then return to New York. He was reserved in manner and gave no sign of the impending step in his domestic relations.
 Mrs. Alfred c. Vanderbilt, who ab- ruptly left her husbands country place, Oakland farm, in Portsmouth, suburb of Newport, on Tuesday of last week and came to New York to be olljckly followed by large quantity of her personal belongings, and who then went from here to Tuck's Eden, the home of her brother. Amos Tuck French, at Tuxedo, declined to make any statement

Glacia Gala Declares He Murdered
Her Brother.

Paris, Feb. 26.-The police of tfis
city have received from New York q
warrant for the arrest Of Paul Roy
on the charge OF murder. This
American actress known as Giacia
Gala, who declares that he murdered
her brother, George A. Carkins,
early in January, in New Hampshire.
The warrant has not yet been serv-
ed. The French law does not permit
the extraditfon OF French citizens,
but provides for their trial and pun
ishment in France for crimes COM
mitted abroad. Roy's brothers point
out that his marriage to Miss Car
kins is Illegal in France. as he had
not previously obtained the consent
of his parents and they say he viii

the ground that his wife misrepre-
sented her age at the time Of her
marriage. swearing she was 27. when
she was really "a years of age.
IL addition to declaring that Paul
Roy was forced TO shoot Carkins in
self defense, the Roy family charge
that the accusation of murder
brought byPaufs wife is made in a
spirit of revenge because her husband

The Roy family tried desperately.
but unsuccessfuliy to prevent the

who was about to enter private hos

He SAW Mr.. WAGGENER
Railroad Commissioner Kanavel Re-
turns From Atchson.

George w. Kanavel chairman Of the
state board of railroad commissioners,
returned today from a visit to Atchi-
son where he conferred with B. P. Wag-
gener, attorney for the Missouri Pa
cific, about the restoration of telegraph
service at the numerous stations on the
Missouri Pacific lines where such SER
vice has recently been discontinued.
Mr.. Waggener told me-" said Mr..
Kanavel, that he would go to st.
Louis as soon as Mr.. Cochran returns
from Washington, and take up the mat
ter with him. He did not intimate to
me what the company would do. He
said he would do the best he could for
u.s.
Another evidence of how the railroad
companies are trying to cut or every
bit of additional expense comes from
Eureka, Kan, where both the Santa Fe
and Missouri Pacific have ordered their
depot telephones taken out. In some
towns the telephone companies furnish
the depots telephone rent free, but
at Eureka the usual charge has been
made. The people in the town are kick
ing because now they have to walk half
a mile to find out whether the trains
are late.

Attempt to Wreck Passenger Train
Catches a Freight.

Higginsville, Mo, Feb. 26-An attempt
to wreck the eastbound Chicago AL
ton passenger train running between
Kansas City and ST. Louis, was made
at the west edge Of Higgfnsville last
night A freight train that preceded
the passenger knocked the obstruction
from the track.
There is no clew to the wreckers.
Railway men here believe their purpose
was robbery.
A dozen heavy logs had been placed
across the tracks and securely braced.
The freight train that struck the OBJ
struction was fortunately running at q
slow rate of speed. The engine was
damaged and the crew slightly hurt,
but beyond this no serious damage was
done The only thing that saved the
passenger train was the fact that II
was a few minutes late.
A similar attempt to wreck west
bound Missouri Pacific passenger train
was made last Friday night at Otter
Vile, Mo.
