UTLER'SSTORY.
Of SPYING ON
GLORIA Barred

NEW YORK, May 1 GNS0.
Further details Of the trial rec
ord Of Mrs. Gloria Morgan Van
derbilt's losing fight for the Gus
tody of her 10-year.old daughter,
Gloria, made public here today
reveal that her butler spied re-
peatedly on the pretty widow
while in her employ.
The butler, Charles Zaug, I'm
der cross-examination, admitted
he had previously assured both
Ms. Vanderbilt and her attorney,
Nathan Burkan, that he had
never witnessed her commit an
act Of improperly.
Tells Of Nude Scene
The first and most sensational
incident which Zaug said he saw
centered around the visit to Mrs.
Vanderbilt'S home of Mrs. Helen
Marye Thomas of washington in
April, 1884. He said he witnessed
Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Thomas
without q stitch of clothing stag
ing a drinking duet.
Under cross questioning, Mr..
Burkan asked:
''DO you remember my asking
you whether you had seen any
act Of improperly in that house
and you said no."
eyes"
Mr.. Burkan then asked the
butler If he did not recall visit
ing Frank L. Croker, attorney
for Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney,
chief adversary of Mrs. Wander
bilt in the fight for little Gloria'S
custody, and he said he did.
Asks About Spying
Then Mr.. Burkan got the SER
want to admit he had told Mr..
Croker of a visit he CBurkan)
had made to Mrs. Vanderbilt's
home.
Mr.. Burkan exclaimed sud-
Fdenly:
"Weren't you q spy, spying
and listening in on the advice
that / was giving her, in the
SacrednesS of the relation be-
tween . lawyer and a client.
Weren't you listening in on
the telephone and reporting
back to these people what I
was telling her and what she
was telling me?"
'NO, sir, never"
Mr.. Burkan then asked Zaug
If, while he was butler he had
not permitted two strange men
to enter the house in the alb
Sence Of his mistress and permit
them to ransack it.
Zaug denied it. However, he
admitted that the men were
stopped from going through the
house only when Oliver Gardner,
q friend Of Mrs. Vanderbilt's and
Louis Lahrmann, the Vanderbilt
chauffeur, had summoned the
police.
Denies Framing
Zaug was asked if one Of the
men did not have a private detec-
tive'S badge and Zaug answered:
mo, I didn't see any, SIR"
Q.-Were't you and these men
trying to frame Mrs. Vanderbilt"
A.-No sir.
AS to the parties at the Wander
bilt house on Seventy-Second
Street the butler testified that
Mrs. Laura Fitzpatrick Morgan,
mother Of Mrs. Vanderbilt. who
was aligned against her in the
hearings over little Gloria's
custody, was present at most Of
them.
O.. Was Mrs. Morgan drinking?
A. She drank a little cham
payne.
Maid Denies Story
Miss Elizabeth Wann, Mrs.
Vanderbilt's personal maid, who
followed Zaug on the stand, de-
MED his testimony. She said:
'Zaug must have had a
dream"
Miss Wann denied that she had
ever witnessed any act of impro-
priety by Mrs. Vanderbilt or any
of her guests and denied any
"'dirty books" were kept in the
library as was charged by Zaug.

for warmth, it seemed that the sam,

Square butte only made the air colder.
They had aggTavating visions OF warm
rooms and comfortable chairs left be-

Presently, on a windswept ridge above
the road band Of pronghorn antelope
was sighted watching the wagons. The
two hunters dropped from the wagons
and made their way up a ravine 70

from the rifles could barely be seen

'It's 20 degrees below zero right now

the Sirens father as he crawIed into
the wagon and the teams started on.
A mile or more from the fort, in the
shelter of a cottonwood grove and a
patch Of willows, the halt for the night
was made. The keen north wind was
still blowing but, in the scant shelter

Everyone was asleep early. Toward
morning cold northeast wind ratified

When daylight came q storm was on
Snow was falling and drifting along the
ridge Of the road.
All the forenoon the horses toileo
through drifts against the storm. In

the men often got out and walked to
keep warm. Toward noon a halt was
made on a little stream coming down
from the Bird Tail divide to Flat creek
at the old Wareham place. Horses were
watered and fed and again coffee was
made on the little stoves IN the wagons.
Everyone got out for a few minutes to
timber up, but there was comfort for
none.
The afternoons drive was colder than
that Of the morning. The road led up
Flat creek and around Bird Tan noun
tains across Benton flats to Bird Tail
creek and Eagle Rock stage station.
The Bird Tail divide cutoff was well
known and much used at the time but,
because Of ice on its northern slope, the
teamsters decided on the longer and
more exposed route. The storm had a
clear sweep ON the prairie and the oc-
cupants OF the wagons suffered much

In the shelter Of sandstone ledge

nN TWO PARTs-PART TWo)

The start for the third days trave
was at daylight as usual. Sheltered un-
der the mountainside at the mouth oi
Wolf creek, the party scarcely felt the
wind during the night. 1t was heard
however, roaring on the ridges AND
the trees were seen TO be Swaying and
bending In the gusts on nearby noun
tain tops. The teamsters knew what
was ahead and one Of them remarked,
@It viii be tough out on the open hills. .
About an eighth of a mile from the
nights campground the road led away
from the stream up what was known
as the Black grade, named because Of
the color OF the decomposed rock
through which it had been dug. AS the
teams assembled this grade and turn
ed toward the Kreuger ranch on Rock
creek, they found themselves In a fur
ious gale laden with clouds Of fine
drifting snow. The wind was from the
rear and whirled the snow in the lee
Of the wagons, casing the drivers and
wheel horses in white.
Travelling was hard and slow, for the
road was drifted deeply. On the east
side Of one hill the men all turned out
with shoVels and opened a way through
q deep drift for the floundertng horses
and creaking wagons. One c0ulee was
drifted fun and the roadway had to be
cleared before the drivers could see the
bridge on which to cross. No stop was
made at noon except for cold lunch,
with hot coffee made by shivering /
women on the little stoves in the
wagons The teamsters were pulling |
straight through to the Dearborn and
shelter, q distance of IL miles, where
they arrived late IN the afternoon.
Camp that night was in q cotton
wood grove on the river bottom. As eve
ming came on the wind died down and
the sky became overcast with haze.
The situation for q comfortable camp
was not good. However, a big cotton
wood was felled and then another
dropped on top and lengthwise Of II.
willow brush was leaned against these
and snow piled against it TO hold 1t in
place. With this for q reflector and a

bill which the House had passed, and
which would have given the people
OF the State an opportunity to vote on
whether they wanted to retain the
present State prohibition law or have
many voted for it because they sin
llquor stores. On the other hand,
cerely believed Tat since the legis-
lature is determined to retain the Tur-
l1ngton Act and prohibition, that it
should then do something towards the
better enforcement of the State prohi-
bltlon law4 Representative Spruill
OF BERTHE county, in discussing the
rage bill, said that every member of
the General Assembly knew that Ii
quor had been bought and sold al
most daily in the routunda between
the Senate and House chambers in
open defiance of the State law, and
that nothing had been done about it
That the Senate is now in a decided
ly uncomfortable position and ION the
spot" is generally agreed today If it
passes the Page bill and sets up this
special enforcement brigade of more
than 200 State prohibition officers
with power to make arrests on su-
spicion and without warrants, it will
make it's members exceedingly un-
popular with a very large portion of
the States population, especially the
| sheriffs in the various counties and
the police departments in the cities
! and towns. For, believe it or not,
many members of the General AS
sembly are dependent upon the sup
port they receive from county and
city officials for their election, and es-
pecially upon the political influence of
sheriffs, their deputies and their sup
porters. But if this bill is enacted, it
will be a direct slap at all the sheriffs
and police departments in the State,
many point out. It will also ALLEVIATE
the support of the hundreds of thou
sands OF people who drink wet, buy
liquor from bootleggers, transport it
in their cars, serve it to their friends
but who vote dry at the polls. Nor
can those who vote for the bill expect
to get any support from the 'big shot"
bootleggers, most of whom are con-
ceded to be politically powerful in
their sections it is freely conceded
| here.
But if the Senate is going to be con-
sistent, having refused to pass the Day
liquor control bill, most observers here
do not see how it can now refuse to
pass this strict dry enforcement bill
which the House has passed. They
think that Senators Rivers Johnson of
| Duplin, Erskine Smith of Stanley,
| Fred F'olqer of. S1lrrV w T. Ferro11
of Forsyth, Horton of Chatham, Grady
of, Johnston and Johnston of Bun
combe, all regarded as personal "wets"
but who voted against the Day liquor
control BILL should now be willing to
vote for the Page enforcement bill
If these wet-dry senator's do not vote
for the Page enforcement bill they
will then be on record as favoring the
non-enforcement of the State prohi-
bition law, and opposed to any liquor

lCKES OUTSTANDING
IN F. D. R. CABINET
Some of Official Family
Just Don't Fit; Others

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, May 4. Secretary
Harold L. Ices unquestionably is par
excellence" the outstanding personal
ity in President Roosevelt's cabinet.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull is
the ablest public man in it, but he is
rniscast in the part he has to play.
Ices has just the qualifications Gem-
permental rather than mentaD for his
role. He is bull-terrish. Not only is
he the best fighter in the cabinet
he is one of the best fighters who
ever held down a political job. He has
defied the White House time or
two, let alone all sorts of other IN
fluences. Even conservatives, though
they may wish him in Halifax, respect
his courage and honesty
MORGENTHAU SUCCESSFUL
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., frequently is spoken
of in Washington as having been sur
prisingly successful-in a way
Morgenthau is a poor press agent
for himself, too. He doesn't regis

being kept out of the limelight rath-
er than by getting into it.

tice.
Secretaries of War and the Navy

NOT OUTSTANDING
Secretary of Commerce Daniel c.

than either Dern or Swanson-but not
appreciably so. He is recalled as
Hoovercrat, and as having been COM
PEELED formally to deny that he was
a X. K. K-because he was so gen.
orally accused of having been a clans
