Novel Plea ON Affections

Supreme Court Justice Amend has re-
served decision on motions to dismiss Mrs.
Manuela Einstein's suit for 100000 and
$4,000 respectively, against her father-in-
law, julius Einstein and her brothcr-ir-
law, Monroe Eihstein, for the alienation
of the objections of her husband Arthur
L. Einstein, who is confined as incofn-
petent in Dr.. Packers sanatoriuln at
Riverdale The motions were based on
the novel legal contention that an insane
person is incapable of affection, ,.d no
cause of action should lie against n third
party for the yoss of an incompetent s
affections. says the New York Times.
Attorney James B. Kilburn, who raised
the question, said that young Mrs. Elm
stein had already obtained a separation
from her husband on the ground of his
insanity, and was well provided for cut
of his estate. Joseph H. Corn, attorney
for Mrs. Enstein. asserted that his client
would contend that her husbands mental
condition was partly due to the attempts
of his father and brother to interfere
with his family. affairs. He also said that
even though incompetent, he would still
have been thoroughly in love with his
wife but for their interference.
The argument that an insane person
was incapable of love, Mr.. Corn said, was
contrary alike to legal precedent and hui
man experience. Previous to his being
declared incompetent, Arthur L. Einstein
was president Of the Einstein Manufac-
turing company.

Penn Relay Entries
Close on Tuesday

PHILADELPHIA. March a.-The en-
tries for the University of Pennsyl-
vanias nlneteenth annual relay races
will close on Tuesday of this week.
All schools and colleges that have not
already sent in word to the manage
ment that they will be on hand must
do SO at once, as the classes will be
made up finally on Wednesday. 1mme-
diately after that the drawing for posi-
tions at the pole will take place, SO
that programs may be sent to all the
schools telling them their position from
tn. pole.
This years entries will make a new
record in intercollegiate and interscho-
lastic sport. This Is assured because
already there are more schools and
colleges in the races than ever be-
fore At least go teams are entered
now. Sixty-nine of these are colleges,
and this list includes practically all of
the great universities of both the East
and the West.
With $50 schools entered in the va
rious events, the officials will have
great difficulty in running of all the
races In one afternoon. In fact, such
great enthusiasm has been shown in the
relay races that Managers Ellis and
Orton have practically decided to have
two days meet beginning next year.
