Vanderbilt Leading New York's "Five Hun dred" From the World Famous Street to New Settlement At Sutton Place, Home of Thugs, On the East Side Will East Siders Move1 to the, Avenue?: I;-.: By CliARA; SAVAGE (Special Correspondent Morning , Star) (Copyright 1921, by The Star) NEW XORK, Jan. 20.; Don't let any one persuade you; when you have madev-'-your mil lions; , to' acquire an c' upper Fifth i avenue. New York, 4 city vaddress. An exodus of .New Tork's- Five 'Hun dred from Fifth avenue - Is being led by Mrs. Wil liam .K. .Vander bilt, Sr.,. Sutton Place t described by ;t hose who. know :.New Tork as 'pretty thuggy, , - out t; innaDitea at CXASA SAVAGE presen by fami-r lies too poor to be troubled-by. thugs has been chosen by Mrs. Vanderbilt and her associates as the place to es tablish ..a - colony of the -rich, artistic and intellectual. Where Is Sutton Place? Ask the Vanderbilt butler the one who has been with the family, for 36 years as I did today. "Sutton' Place? Orribler "Sutton Place, did you say?" ex claimed 3 the ' impressive factotum, throwing- up . his hands as he stood in the hallway of the greystone Vander bilt house at 52nd and Fifth avenue. He speaks with a broad, very broad English accent., 'Jts not my-.idea of a place to llve. ma'am. Never In the world would 1 have chosen.it, if I'd had nty way. Have you ever seen Ave nue A, ma'am? Not that I frequent such streets myself, and by the East river! It is a strange neighborhood. I'm thinking Mrs. Vanderbilt has been over-influenced, ma'am." Do you recall the turreted Vander bilt chateau at 52nd street -.on Fifth avenue? The announcement that, it has been sold to the Empire State Trust company was simultaneous with the news that Mrs. Vanderbilt,. her sis ter, Mrs. Stephen H. Olin, Mrs. Lorll lard Cammann, Miss Elizabeth Mar bury, Dr. Edgar Stillman, W. Seward Webb, Jr., and other members of New Tork soeiety ..wfeuid form a colony at Sutton Place and Avenue A.v j Butler1 Is Very Harsh . The butler, framed in the glass and iron-barred door of, the Fifth avenue W. K. Vanderbilt home, was Inclined to talk. Evidently the theme; of living in Sutton Place was one of which he felt strongly. He said harsh things about It, mentioned the proximity , of tenement houses, a corner coal yard, and a nearby slaughter house. He dwelt , unkindly., on 'the iQu'eerisboro bridge which he said cut. off the' view of .the -river, and the ' noisy,' .puffing, tooting - tugboats . which. made the night evil with their cries indT the day ftrab. with their soot, ;iTet.fwh?n all was said and done, lt-appeared that the butler would move to SuttOn 'Place with the- Vanderbilt family ' The butler opened the door widte and included the hall of the Vanderbilt home in a-sweeping gesture Itis a lugubrious hall wide and somber, marble pillars and a marble bust of some one peered out of the darkness not a homelike looking hall. ... Later a talk with men atr the head of one of the largest real estate firms in New York revealed that their no tions coincided, almost exactly with those of the Vanderbilts butler. "Cnny," Rwil. Entate View "Crazy," was 5 the way one1 member of the Arm characterized the charge of the "five hundred" on Sutton Place. "It's throwing away money to build half-million-dollar houses there," he said. "I don't know 'what Mrs. Van derbilt is thinking, of. There are so many thugs in the neighborhood, she'll have to have her house guarded all the time. I dont' believe she'll stick it out." "A lot of women, are at the bottom of this," declared the other member of the firm. "The men don't -want to go. They dont' like the looks of the neigh borhood, but' the women have got it Into their heads that they can make Sutton Place over into a sort of old New York gardens down to the East river, seats under the yew trees, gar den gates with roses climbing over them, picture hats and crinolines all that sort of thing. 'Won't it be just too quaint?' one of them said to me." According to leading real estate men the. proper place to live in New York is the East Side. Drive Not Famhlonable "The newly rich come to-town and buys a house on Riverside drive," said a real estate man. "The family lives there for two years, perhaps. By that time ma has caught on. She makes pa sell the house and buy one on Park avenue. Ma has learned that no ' real New Yorker thinks of the drive as fashionable or Fifth avenue as anything but a business, street." New York as well as fashionable so ciety elsewhere, is watching with in terest the outcome of t)ls colony of the rich and intellectual at Sutton Place. The question is, with the "Five Hundred" invading- the tenement dis tricts of the East Side, will the East Side take up its residence on Fifth avenue? i ' RESIDENCE DESTROYED BY FIRE IN COLUMBUS Jonathan Ward Farmer, Carry- ing No Insurance, Loses House and Contents ABERNETHY INDORSED AS 11TH CONGRESSMAN ' ...,' '), Craven Man Presented vas; Can didate for the1 Extra Seat , Awarded State .
