White Plains, N. Y., Nov. 2T.—
Declaring that his colored bride
led him into their marriage under
the pretense.....that—her blood was
white, Leonard Kip Rhinelander,
scion of the socially prominent
Rhinelander family of New York
and heir to a fortune of $100,
000,000, has filed suit to annul his
marriage to the former Alice Beat
rice Jones, of New Rochelle.
The suit was filed in the office
of the Westchester county clerk
late Wednesday afternoon. The
marriage took place on October
14.
Consent Obtained by Fraud.
The papers in the suit are sup
ported by an affidavit from young
Rhinelander in which the youth
declares that his “consent” to the
marriage to the Jones girl, daugh
ter of a colored taxi-driver and
sister-in-law of a colored garden
er, ‘was obtained by fraud,” and
that she told Rhinelander she was
white and had no colored blood."
The marriage was then perform
ed, Rhinelander says, on the basis
of these misrepresentations, but
since that time he has discovered
them to be totally untrue.”
Soon after the marriage last
month, it is recalled, Rhinelander’s
wife denied that her father was a
colored man, but it was shown
that Jones, the father, had sworn
that he was a negro in applying
for naturalization papers,'and that

All the clothing was torn from
his body in the accident.
Reports from his bedside today

HOT DOG VENDER,

Boston, Nov. 27.—A good loca

business, Samuel Shanker says.
When he persisted in standing
with his hot oven and hot dogs in
front of a lunch room on Berkeley
street he was arrested.
<< That’s a good stand. I can’t
afford to lose it,” he remarked, as
he paid a $3 fine from a $1,000
roll of bills.
Then he went out and bought
the building, paying more than
$12,000 for it.
Shanker said that he had made
enough money selling hot dogs in

Detroit, Nov. 27.—Plans are now
being made to place “air flivvers >>
costing from $500 to $1,500 on the
American market in great numbers
in 1&5.
Not only that, but airplane mo

a man handy with tools at a cost
of about $500.
Ford Interested.
Henry Ford is interested in the
possibilities of constructing small
airplanes on the same huge scale
as automobiles.
Some months ago Ford was
shown a new type of small plane
and told that a three-cylinder 60
horsepower model would cost $1,-
500. After inspecting it carefully,
Mr. Ford suggested that the cylin

with cast iron, and the carefully
built-up crank case with an alu

weight but not decreasing power,
and Mr. Ford declared himself
ready to turn out the same prod

EGYPTIANS PLOT

LORD ALLENBY
London, Nov. 27.—Egyptian na
tionalists have arranged to make
a desperate attempt on the life of
Viscount Allenby, the British high
commissioner, according to the
Cairo correspondent of the Daily
Mail, who says that information
regarding this : plan has been re
ceived from many trustworthy
sources and that the danger of

ous.
The guards on the residency
have been doubled and increased
precautions will be taken to pro
tect Lord Allenby when driving
through the streets.
An order has been issued that
every high British military and
civil officer henceforth shall be
accompanied in public by an armed
escort.
Officers must carry revolvers and
civilian officials must keep re
volvers in their desks.
Ziwar Grants Last Demand.
Ziwar Pasha, the Egyptian pre
mier, in an interview with Lord
Allenby, according to the Mail’s
correspondent, indicated his inten
tion to comply with the last out
standing British demand—with
drawal of opposition to the ful
fillment of Great Britain’s wishes
regarding the protection of for
eigners.
The first step towards the pro
tection of foreigners has been

his own famous product, and there
seems not the slightest doubt that,
given a large enough market, they
could be sold as cheaply.
There is little doubt, therefore,
that small planes can be built in
comfort that will have all the
speed which the heart of man may
desire, burn exceedingly little
gasoline in the process, and be
built at a price within the reach
of very modest purposes.
Superior to Larger Planes.
The baby airplane is superior to
its larger brothers in this respect.
The explanation is that a small
flying structure is always lighter
in proportion to its size than a
large one, and the baby airplanes
can therefore be made to have an
area of wing which is very large
relative to its weight.
The lighter the wing ..loading,
the slower the speed of landing. A
baby plane at little over 20 miles
an hour is far less likely to crash
on a bad landing than the larger
plane, which must of necessity ap
proach the ground at the speed of
an express train, No matter how
much out of control the small
plane may be, its pilot after a
crash may find himself bruised, his

pick himself up and fly again.
Parking Space Solution.
Being lightly loaded, the small
plane can make a very quick get
away. It has to acquire the mo
mentum of only fifteen or twenty
miles an hour, and a short run of
fifty or a hundred feet at most
will be sufficient. Any open space
will do to fly from, and emergency
landings will cease to hold terrors
for the aviator.
Particularly in smaller cities,
the baby plane has the widest
possibilities of use. One can
imagine the country doctor making
his rounds by air without difficulty,
a commercial traveler flying with
his samples from town to town, a
student commuting to his univers
ity and landing gently on the
campus, a golfer sailing
in the air for half an hour or
and landing on a reserved
of the links.
Aero men say the roofs of
of our gigantic stations or
piers, equipped with special
forms, can provide the small
ing area required by the
plane, thus serving as a
solution of the parking troubles
our motor-harried cities.

The Canadian Northwest Mount

Of BATES HE
Will Present Data to I. C. C.
Telling of Discrimination
of Freight Rate*.
The tedious task of preparing
the data to be presented to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
in Griffin’s fight for an adjustment
of freight rates was completed late
yesterday.
Secretary Thomas, of the Cham
ber of Commerce, is preparing a
petition to be presented soon tell
ing of the discrimination in rates
from Chattanooga, Montgomery
and Birmingham in favor of At
lanta, Macon and Augusta against
Griffin, Newnan, Thomaston, La
Grange, Covington, Thomson,
Greensboro,. Monticello, McDon
ough, West Point, Port Valley,
UnfahrmeM.
The unfairness of the present
charges is shown in the fact that
the rate on first class shipments
from Chattanooga to Griffin is
$1.12 per 100 pounds, while the
rate on the same goods from that
city to Macon, 60 milea further,
is only $1.
On second class goods the dif
ference is 10 cents per 100 pounds
and so on through the different
classes of freight.
Chattanooga Rates.
The charge on agricultural Im
plements from Chattanooga is 49 Mr
cents per hundred; the rate to Ma
con is 34 cents. On glass bottles,
of which many are used here, the
rate is 50 cents and the rate to
Macon is only 52 Mi cents. On all
steel and iron articles the rate ii
35 cents to Griffin and Macon pays
27 cents; on stoves and ranges,
Griffin pays 70 cento and Macon
59 cents.
Birmingham Rates.
On first class fright. Bir
mingham, Griffin is charged $1.18
while Macon gets a rate of $f.
On second class freight there is a
discrimination of 12 Mi cento.
The rates on iron and steel from
Birmingham to Griffin is 35 cents,
nd to Macon is 42 cento. On radia
tors the rate is 42 cento find Ma
con pays 34 cento. On stoves
and ranges Griffin pays 76 cents
and Macon 59 cents.
Montgomery Rates.
From Montgomery the first class
rate is $1.15 to Griffin; to Macon
85% cents. On the second class
rate there is a discrimination of
25% cents and so on through each
class.
In commodity rates from Mont
gomery Griffin pays 45 cents,
while. Macon is charged 25 cento.
On crackers and cakes Griffin is
charged 65 cento and Macon 41
cents. On iron and steel the
rate is 43 cents here and to Ma
con 31 cento. On special iron
shipments the rate to Griffin is
35 cents. On special iron Jhip

Doesn't Prove Guilt.
(4 The fact that a man runs away
if a pistol is pointed at him does
not prove that he is guilty of
anything. It only shows that he
thinks his chances of escaping
with his life from the menace of
the gun are better if he takes to
his heels than they would be if
he stood his ground. It may be
a good policy in such cases never
to run, but a man does not de
serve to be shot merely because
he is timid or makes an error of
judgment.”
