STOCKHOLDER IN
VANDERBILT TAB
CHARGES FRAUD

LOS ANGELES, May 26. CR-Edwin
Mace of Los Angeles filed suit in the
superior court here today to cancel
two notes given by him in payment
for stock in Vanderbilt Newspapers,
Inc, charging fraud against the pub
fishing corporation, which was found
ed by Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.
The suit is expected to determine
the status of several hundred other
stockholders in the corporation now
in the hands of a receiver, who still
owe for stock sold to them. John w.
Brodix, receiver, also is named in the
suit. The Los Angeles Illustrated
News still survives under the receiv-
erShip.
In his plant, Mace charges that
high pressure methods were used to
induce him to buy stock, including
reference to King @. Gillette, mil
lionaire manufacturer, and Clarence
H. Mackay, millionaire telegraph head,
as advisers of the corporations board
of directors.
Mace alleged that Cornelius Van
derbilt, Jr., was represented as having
invested $3,OOO,O0O himself in the en-
terprise and that it was stated that
there would be no public sale oil
stock, only few friends Of young
Vanderbilt and prominent citizens be-
ing chosen as participants in the is
sue, while it subsequently developed
that "the sale of stock to the public
was the only way in which it was
intended to finance the corporation"
Mace asked that his two notes for
81 900 and $4,000 be cancelled.

the personality of this often commented upon lady.
 What kind of social life would Washington have if the beautiful "Prin- cess Alice" became the first lady of the land?
 Would her reign be as different as her character is from all the previous wives of Presidents?
 Would Washington for the first time see the executive mansion managed much as the queens of Europe dignify their courts?
 It is generally agreed that although Mrs. Longworth isn't snob, she is at least very particular and exclusive in her choice of friends. Lately, however, there has been noticed marked differ

has been another woman resident of the national Capital with so positive char acter, and many believe that there are few women in the country with as fine and discerning mind as "Nick" Long, worth's wife.
 While some women stayed home mornings and bargained with the butcher and argued with the cook, Mrs. Long, worth was an interested listener in Con- gress.
 Instead of spending her days as the average housewife does in household matters that could be left to others, Mrs. Longworth read the best literature, studied politics and government and in every respect kept up with the progress of her brilliant husband.
 All these things convince people that if Alice Roosevelt moves back to her old home Washington will see a quite different regime than it has ever seen before.
 In their opinion, Mrs. Longworth will be one of the most worthy hostesses
 
 that the White House has ever had and exactly the type of person suited to represent the country as its first lady.
 But there are others who worry over Mrs. Longworth's alleged lack of democ- racy. They are afraid that the White House will never be open to the hum- bier members of the political set who like to feel that they are once in awhile welcome to call upon the Presidents wife.
 Eleanor Wilson McAdoo in many re- spects is the opposite of Mrs. Longworth. While both of these charming women are fond of society, Mrs. McAdoo is said to be little more generous in her scope and really does enjoy people who are just ordinarily brilliant, unlike Mrs. Longworth who is said to sift persons
New Britain herald., 1927-01-27

intelligence to the bottom at the first meeting.
 Like Princess Alice" Mrs. McAdoo was the life of her family and everybody found her the gayest and sprightliest member of the Wilson household when the President took office. The Wilson's called her the bubble" of the family.
 When Eleanor Wilson's father went to the White House she was just twenty three years old, some five years older than Princess Alice" when she moved to the executive mansion.
 Unlike Miss Roosevelt, Miss Wilson had very tame debutante days. The Will son family were noted for their bookish- ness and the purposefulness of their lives. The three Wilson daughters when they came to the White House all were interested in various lines of social well fare and in every way took life quite seriously.
 But in the White House Eleanor Will son blossomed forth into great vivacity anu dlLIouSl oIlt uSNCl was dS Nlldl anu colorful as "Princess Alice" she was ex- ceedingly popular.
 Miss Roosevelt is now often referred to as "the fapper of her day" because in those days she shocked Washington by being as advanced as the younger generation is to-day.
 Washington society was aghast over the fact that Miss Roosevelt just casually removed her hat at the most formal luncheons and teas.
 At that period no one ever removed her hat at formal occasion, but Miss Roosevelt was all for convenience and comfort and when her hat got in the way of her vision she threw it off much to the horror of the dignifed Washing ton matrons.
 Such conduct as this was never the

worried over the exuberance of his daughter and took her away to Europe.
 But if pretty Alice's distinguished father intended she should have a rest he was all wrong, for no girl was ever so much entertained on tour of Europe nor had so many possible husbands shown to her. Even the King of Siam was reported as the tiance of the Presi dents daughter.
 Though many girls who are spirited and vivacious settle down to formality and routine after marriage and are often even more subdued than their bashful contemporaries, Alice Roosevelt Longworth was not one of these.
 In proof of this, it has always been admitted in Washington that there never

mer home that she planned from the day she left it to move back as soon as ever it could be contrived. And it looks now as though Alice Roosevelt Long worth might be somewhere near this goal.
 There are other people who believe that Eleanor Wilson McAdoo has just as good chances as Mrs. Longworth to reinstate herself in the house where a few years ago her gay laughter echoed and where, in the famous Blue Room, she became the wife of William Gibbs McAdoo, then Secretary of the Treasury.
 Either of these vivacious White House daughters would make charming host ess as a Presidents wife, every one who knows them in Washington de- clares. Both are vivid and colorful per sonalities and there are many stories in the Capital concerning their spirited youthful days.
 Although both these daughters of Presidents are very lively and animated, their intimate friends say that their regimes would be quite different. Every body in Washington knows that the character of the hostess in the White House colors the whole of Washington society and so the residents of the Capi- tai are always greatly concerned when a new tenant becomes the first lady of the land.
 As Alice Roosevelt Longworth re- gently stepped into the office of National Committeewoman from Ohio and thus greatly promoted her husbands possible nomination for the highest office in the country, once more feminine heads got together in Washington and discussed

WHICH WES. LOHH WOItu and Mrs. McAdoo, both former residents of the mansion, have their eyes ence in her social life and some people attribute this to the softening effect of the baby fingers of the beautiful little Paulina. Others well versed in Washington affairs wager that Mrs. Longworth's recent friendliness with Con- gressmen's wives has some thing to do with the possible presidential candidacy of "Nick."
 This seems the more likely conclusion, for the beautiful Alice has never taken much interest in the "alfalfa" and Main Street" residents of Washington. In fact, hardly one of them could boast hay ing a lowing acquaintance with her.
 Many Washingtonians love to recall the days when the beautiful Princess Alice" was the White House de- butante. Never was a young lady so feted and toasted and never was there one who so merited the title of "Prin- cess" and who accepted the title so gracefully.
 In those days residents of the city could look out of their windows almost any time and see the Presidents daughter and the young Countess Cassini, niece of the Russian Ambassador, darting about in one of Washington's first automo- piles.
 No debutante in the White House ever cut a wider swath. In fact, at one time the President himself grew
New Britain herald., 1927-01-27

to take up missionary work.
 This sort of thing has never appealed to Mrs. Longworth, it is said, as her type of mind is entirely different and her greatest enjoyment is in discussing political matters in which she is well versed, in fact so well versed that she has become the confdante of many statesmen.
 Some people aver that Alice Roose- welt Longworth loves to shock people and that many things she says and does delight her for the very reason of the surprise she sees registered on other peoples faces. But however it is, she is recognized as one of the most divert ing and interesting person ever to come to Washington.
 If either of these Presidents dauph- ters move back to their old home the White House will again have girls wheel ing doll carriages through the corridors of the spacious mansion.
 Little Paulina, the Longworth's baby daughter, is lovely infant who grows every day more and more to look like her illustrious grandfather.
 Eleanor Wilson McAdoo has two very lovely daughters, Ellen Wilson, named after her maternal grandmother and Mary Faith, named after MT. McAdoo's mother. If Ellen Wilson McAdoo's father goes to the White House, he may remain there long enough for his beau tiful daughter to make her bow to so ciety from that suspicious spot.
 Nor will the White House seem strange and new to either of these chil- dren because probably their mother already has described to them the heau. tiful home where she once lived.
 The possible return to the White House of one of these former residents of the executive mansion is not a politi. cal affair so Far they are personally con cerned, and it is easily possible that their husbands will not emerge as presi. dential candidates from the uncertain workings of national political conyen. tions.
 They may be excused, however, for gazing hopefully toward the big house where they lived as daughters of Presi- dents, and to which one may go back as Americas first lady.
