Vanderbilt HAS
THREE HOMES
SPLENDID LONDON
FLAT-ALSO HAS SUITE IN
BRIGHTON AND. A HOUSEBOAT
FOR THE THAMES.

London, April 26.-Alfred G. Van
derbilt intends to have a very good
time this year. To begin with, be-
sides having a supmtuous flat in Pic
cadilly, the young New Yorker has
engaged fine suite of rooms at the
Metropole, in Brighton, where during
the coming coaching season he will
put up between the trips from and
to town in which this accomplished
whip finds so much enjoyment.
Mr.. Vanderbilt purposes evidently
to pass much time on the Thames
river in the season He has just
bought large part of the grounds
and flower garden on the rivers bank
which belong to the Earl of EgmQnt.
The place is lovely now, but Mr.. Van
derbilt is identifying it at cost of
several thousand dollars to bring it
to suit his critical taste.
Builds Household.
There is no dwelling on the
grounds there. Several were offered
him, but he refused them and is hav-
ing a large houseboat taken down,
which when fifteen up as planned, will
be perhaps the finest ever seen on the
river. The furnishings are luxurious.
Mr. Vanderbilt's bed room and smOk-
ing den have solid silver fittings, and
although all the furniture conduces
to the joys of river life, no modern
luxury has been omitted The guest
rooms are models, with dainty enam-
ell fittings. Most of the china is old
French sent down from Mr.. Wander
bits town flat.
He is still sole occupant of the
great flat building at Park Lane and
Piccadilly, erected at enormous ex-
pense in the expectation that mil
lionaires would vie with each other
in engaging suites these. Mr.. Van
derbilt's is the top apartment, light,
airy, with a fine view spread out I'M
der its many windows. But as he
goes up in the elevator through floor
after floor, vast and vacant, he seems
rather lonely Most British million
aires do not rent flats in London, for
they can get comfortable houses
which insure them the privacy they
desire and at lower rents.

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY PUGH

dent of the Great Northern Railway
company, and his immediate sub
ordinates, residing and served out
side the state of Washington, to obey
the processes of this court, I want
to emphasize that unless these Off

Northern Railway company at St.

The statement follows:
''The service of Louis w Hill,
president, and w. r. Begg, solicitor
of the Great Northern Railway COM
pany and the heads of the auditing
and treasury department of the COM
pany with subpoenas duces tecum,
calling for the original vouchers, rec
ords and correspondence of the COM
pany showing the exact condition of
its account with NJ. J. Gordon, its
former attorney in Spokane, was had
for the purpose of bringing to the
personal attention of these officials
knowledge that the grand jury, call
ed in Spokane county two months
ago to investigate the rumors that
Gordon as the representative of the
Great Northern Railway company
had bribed or corruptly influenced
Judge Milo Root, formerly of the su-
preme court of the state of Wash
ington, desires and insists upon hav-
ing this evidence to enable them to
proceed intelligently III their investi-
cation. The grand jury has already
returned six indictments against Cor
don, one for uttering a worthless
check drawn for $2S,507 and five for
embellishments of the moneys of the
Great Northern Railway company
during 1908, while Gordon was it's
attorney at Spokane, aggregating
about $4,000.
Il am determined that the Great
Northern Railway company and the
principal officers at st. Paul shall go
on record as being for or against
these prosecutions 1t has been cur
rently rnumored throughout the state
of Washington for months that the
Great Northern Railway company
was opposed to the prosecution of
Gordon because it feared disclosures
which he might make should it aid
in his prosecution and that for this
reason the company is now financing
his defense and assisting him in every
way in the withholding and suppress
sion of evidence against him. If this
is the attitude Of the company with
reference to these prosecutions, as
apparently it is, I am determined
that that the people of Washington
shall know it and draw their own
inference"

THIRD ARTICLE.

Place kicking is an art. Skill
full execution depends as much up
on the man holding the ball as up
on the kicker. Its value cannot
be overestimated. In plaring the
ball upon the ground just right
depends success.
When a place kick is planned,
the kicker and the holder fall back
the necessary distance, the holder
drops upon his knee. the kicker
takes his position and the ball is
snapped. The holder catches the
ball, poises it momentarily in an
upright position to give the kick
er opportunity TO get his line. then
places the end upon the ground
simultaneously the kicker takes
two steps forward and drives his
toe against the ball.
In the drop kick. the toe meets
the ball the instant Il strikes the
ground. The ball il held at an
angle of about As degrees. the tor
inclined toward the body. II

The kick is made with the toe,
not with the instep.
Nothing is more important in
foot ball than to know how to fall
upon the ball. 1t is not as simple
as 1t appears. Instead of trying to
pick up a rolling ball, the player
should dive for it, lighting on the
knees first and falling forward on
and around the ball. Hands and
arms should draw the ball to the
body. A bounding bah should be
caught If possible. Sometimes II
is possible to push aside an OBJ
ponent as he is about to fall upon
a ball and drop upon 1t yourself
or to kick ball from under an
opponent as he is falling upon IT,
To fall upon ball with your
weight may result in permanent
injury. As the ball is grasped. legs
and body should curve around II
Practice falling in every possible
manner. This should be part OF
the daily practice all season.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30
Which smile will be the one to
come off?
Ketchel or johnson
With Ketchel, challenger for
heavyweight championship of the
world, on the ground, and Jack
johnson, black holder of the
much-coveted title, almost ready
for the gong that will send the
little white man and the gigantic
negro away on their scheduled 20
round bout on the afternoon of
Oct. IL, the fight fans are begin
ming to figure seriously on the
respective chances of the pair.
At first blush. Johnson looks SO
overwhelmingly the better of the
two that the dyed-in-the-wool fans
Iinvoluntarily exclaim: "KetcheI
hasn't the slightest chance in the
world. It's a shame to let a fel.
low his size fight that big smoke. "
And then the very compassion
that moves them to express words
of pity for the Assassin compels
them to seek the dope for one
straw, for one bit of ivy on which
to hang their hope that the white
boy will not be killed outright.
All! Here we have it, Philadel-
phia Jack O'Brien almost broke
even with Johnson in six rounds
Stanley Ketchel comes along and
flattens the Confessor in three
rounds. Now, then! 1t resolves
itself into a simple example in
arithmetic. II Johnson fails tc
stop O'Brien in six rounds an6
Ketchel topples over the same
man in less than half that time
why shouldn't Ketchel have q
mighty good chance with Johnson
in 20 rounds, and, perhaps, beat
him? Yes, why shouldn't he? ASK
yourself that question three times
and see If you can get the answer
Here it is: When johnson
fought O'Brien, he didn't slip over
the knockout because he wouldn't
If he could have and couldn't il

Iplex, but it's right In the first
place, Johnson was hog fat, cham
payne had cut his speed, he hae

the second place, he wasn't going
to show everything he knew, be-
cause he had made up his MIND
not to tip his mitt for the bene-
fit of Jim Jeffries. He fought.

Occasional attacks of backache, ir-

kidney disorders. It's an error to neg

intensity. If there are symptoms of
dropsy-puffy swellings below the eyes,
bloating of limbs and ankles, or any
part of the body, don't delay m mute.

YOUNG AMERICAN
LEAPS FROM CAR

Scar. jumping" has usually been con
fined to the Orientals, but last night
young American leaped from the
King street ear, inward bound from
Waikiki beach, near Keeaumoku street,
and sustained injuries that may confne
him to the hospital for a considerable
time. Who the man was could not
be learned last evening, but he was
evidently stranger to the city. 1t
is said that he was somewhat under
the influence of liquor, and, wishing to
alight at Keeaumoku street, he made
jump for it when the ear was going
mt good rate of speed.
Car No. 40, from which the man
leaped, was stopped as soon as possible.
Bystanders picked the unconscious man
from the street and placed him in a
restful position on the sidewalk. Hen
ny Along, who was passing by in his
fine automobile, kindly volunteered the
use of his ear, and in it the man was
taken to the hospital. The house doe
tor at the Queens Hospital made an
examination Immediately. The young
fellow was still unconscious, though no
bones were broken by the fall. Later
on he revived. He sustained severe
cuts on his mouth and over his left
eve. So far as was learned at the
preliminary examination, 40 bones in
the young mans body were broken.
