Mrs. Vanderbilt Gets
Divorce From Reggie
And Custody Of Child

NEWPORT. r. Z, Oct. s.-Mrs. Cath
leen Nelson Vanderbilt, wife Of Reg
nald c. Vanderbilt, millionaire sports
man and society man, was granted a
divorce here yesterday. She was
awarded custody Of their hfteen-year-
old daughter. Cathleen. Mr.. Wander
bilt did not contest the case, although
represented by counsel.
Suit for divorce was Instituted by
Mrs. Vanderbilt last August. She CON
tended that Reggie" deserted her in
1912, when she and her daughter were
iCit in Paris without funds. NO claim
for money settlement was made.
. Mrs. Vanderbilt is a daughter of
Mrs. Frederic Nelson, a sister OF Mrs.
Hollis II. HunnewelI, OF wellesley,
Mass. She also is a niece OF the late
Frederick Gebhard.
Reggie" Vanderbilt Is the son Of
Cornelius Vanderbilt Cd and Alice
Gwynne Vanderbilt. He IS a brother
OF the Countess Laszlo. Szechenyi.
formerly Gladys Vanderbilt, and now
reported stranded in Switzerland be-
cause OF the loss OF her titled hus-
Dand fortune in Hungary in the war
and seizure OF her American fortune
OF about $9.000,O0O by the alien prop
erty custodian, and OF Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney.
Parents Opposed Match.
Reginald was just out of college
when his engagement to Miss Nelson
was rumored at Newport. 1t was said
there was some opposition 10 the
match, a concerted action BY both
mothers. who thought their children
too young to wed. The stories that
Mrs. Vanderbilt objected to Miss
Nelson because she was a Roman
Catholic, were denied by both families.
In early August OF 1902 both fam
lies formally announced the engage
ment. The wedding took place at
Arleigh Villa, Newport, on April IA
or 1908. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
acted as the best 1an.
In 1910 New York papers pub
lished a story that Mr Vanderbilt
was i'll in his home in Newport frOr,
the effects Of bullet wound in
fltcted by the husband of a young
society woman at whose house he
was frequent caller. Mr. Wander
bits friends insisted he was suffer
ing from typhoid fever, but the story
Of the shooting persisted until his
physicians telegraphed an uneuufvo-
cal denial Of the rumOr.
SS,OOO.OO0 From His Brother.
In 1915 Mr.. Vanderbilt received
$5.O00,O00 by the will OF his brother.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, who per-
ished when the Lusitania was sunk.
During the war Mr.. Vanderbilt con-
tributed largely to war charities.
Reginald Vanderbilt is known
among the members Of the Newport
colony as q devotee Of outdoor
sports. He is q good polo player, has
fondness for horses, is a capital
whip and has proved himself a skill
ful chauffeur.

Weirton, w. Va, Police Raid
Meeting and Force Cap
tives to Kiss Flag.

wEIRTON. w. Va, Oct. S.-First
forced to kiss the American flag, more
than $50 men, whom they declared
were reds, were depOrted yesterday
by police and deputies. The men were
seized at a meeting held in an aban-
doned barn on the Hancock county
road, south OF here, marched to the
Weirton public square and forced TO
kneel and kiss the flag, then driven
from the town.
Seven of the men, suspected to be
the leaders, were taken TO the county
jail at New Cumberland. Later all
except one was released. He is being
held for investigation by the Federal
authorities.
Most OF the men were Firms. and
they were told in their native tongues
that they must kiss the flag or remain
in custody. Protests came from many
but they were in vain. Some voIun-
tarily took hold OF the flag and buried
their faces in II.
The men were then informed that
they must leave town.
Again there was a protest from
many, but they were escorted to the
town limits, nevertheless. and ordered
TO leave.
1t is claimed most OF the men were
furnace workers and that they came
here from WoOdlawn, Pa. near Pitts
burgh, a few days ago. The record Of
the men at WOodlawn is being inves-
tigated by State and Federal author
tiles.
The raid was the outcome Of many
threats that have been made against
foreign-bOrn workers and others en-
ployed in steel plants here.

trail to get him to testify before
the grand jury as to what he knew
about large sums wagered and lost

Not relishing the role OF informer.
Vanderbilt led the process servers a
merry chase through New York to
Philadelphia and thence to Newport.
He finally went to Europe. leaving
Jerome to conduct his Investigation
as best he could.
Name Linked With CanaeId's.
In 1906 Reginald's name was again
linked with that Of Garfield. when
John K. Delahunty. a former attoF-
ney for the gambler. sued Garfield
to recover S59,5OO for legal fees for
keeping him out Of jail and for col
lecting $4,000 on $500. 600 OF notes
signed by Reginald Vanderbilt. Van
derbilt's attorney later arranged the
settlement Of the balance OF the
notes.
