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 Red-Haired Gals Make Best Wives, Declares San Francisco Judge San Francisco, Nov. 27.—Song writers who compose the stuff about “that red headed gal 1 are all wrong, in the belief of Supe rior Court justice Judge J.

HOT DOG VENDER, PINCHED ON STREET, BUYS THE BUILDING Boston, Nov. 27.—A good loca tion is everything in the hot dog 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.

This was the judge’s flat state ment. “And furthermore, in my many years’ experience on the divorce court bench I have seen three or four red haired co-respondents, he added. My observation from the bench are that red haired women make better wives than either their blonde or brunette sisters. Once they are married they stay mar ried, while the number of blondes and brunettes appealing for legal separations are about equal. u There are more blonde co-re spondents in divorce cases than brunettes,” the judge observed.

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 tors probably will be sold separ ately, so that planes can be built at home. It is estimated that an u air flivver” can be constructed by 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 ders Of machined steel be replaced with cast iron, and the carefully built-up crank case with an alu minum casting, A few more changes adding slightly to the weight but not decreasing power, and Mr. Ford declared himself ready to turn out the same prod uct for $500 instead of $1,500. Now he says small planes could EGYPTIANS PLOT Tfl I U nOunOUIMn ACQAQQIMATC L I 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 ficially is regarded as very seri 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 I be built even more cheaply 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 , [fasting staves off old age, ( PROFESSOR’S STUDIES INDICATE y r en ra ress.

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. Fifteen - day fast periods are the right dose, the professor believes. This so in creases the met abolic rate that the faster arises witfi so "ff and retires with jest. CHURCH OFFERS 5 BUCKS TO ANY MAN WHO GOES lO SLEEP IN SERVICE Knoxville, Tenn„ Nov. 27.— A unique advertisement of Church Street Southern Meth odist church here announces an offer of $5 “to any man who goes to sleep during the services.” So far none has qualified.

Condemns Indiscriminate Use Of Firearms by Law Officers Baltimore, Nov. 27.— Indiscrim inate use of firearms by officers of the law was condemned by the Rev. W. A. Crawford-Frost, rec tor of St. Mary’s Protestant Epis copal church, in a recent sermon on “Prudence and Honesty in the Enforcement of Law.” << It seems to me that federal officers of the United States can learn a much needed lesson from the Canadian Northwest Mounted Police,” Mr. Crawford-Frost said, Tells of Tradition. The Canadian Northwest Mount ed Police are the most respected and efficient body of the kind in the world, he asserted, because among them there is an iron bound tradition that a policeman shall “bring in his man without using his gun.” The result, he explained, is that in Canada it is a very rare thing for even the most hardened crim- VOL. 53—No. 105 COMPLETE PLANS 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.

M They appear to regard running away as presump tion of a man’s guilt and proof that he is worthy of death. 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.”
