SUIT TO ANNUL
MARRIAGE FILED
IN HIGH COURT
Complaint Declares That the
Consent" of Plaintiff "Was
Obtained by Fraud"

New Rochelle, N. Y, Nov. 26.
Leonard Kip Rhinelander,
scion of one of New York's oldest
families, who married Miss Alice
Jones of New Rochelle on Octo-
ber ID, today filed suit in the
West Chester County Supreme
court to annul the marriage.
Rhinelander alleged that his wife
concealed from him the fact that
she has colored blood in her
veins.
The papers were supported by
an affidavit made by Rhinelander
before a Kings county notary
public.
The complaint declares that the
consent" of the plaintiff, Rhineland-
er, to the marriage was obtained by
fraud and that the defendant, for
merly Miss Jones, told Rhinelander
"she was white and had no colored
blood" Rhinelander, the complaint
states, entered into marriage on the
basis of such representations, which
he has since discovered to be wholly
untrue.
Rhinelander, heir to a fortune of
500, 100000 in Manhattan real es-
tate, is a member of one of Man
hattan's most. exclusive families. His
Huguenot ancestors settled in New
Rochelle in the seventeenth century.
The marriage of Rhinelander did
not become public until month or
so after II was performed.

I3n ANNUAL FRAT
CONC[AvE MEETS
DECEMBER 27.31
First COlored College Greek Let
ter Fraternity to Become In
ternatiOnal in Scope.

The Thirteenth Annual Conven-
ton of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity
will meet in Washington, D. c.,
December 27-31. 1924. The Fra
ternity was organized at Howard Uni
versity thirteen years ago. having
the distinction of being the first col
lege Greek letter Fraternity to be
organized in a Colored institution of
learning. From the original Alpha
Chapter at Howard the fraternity has
grown until now 1t has fifty chapters
in the leading schools of this country
and Canada. It it expected that
more than five hundred delegates and
members will attend.
Much interest centers around the
meeting in Washington this year as
it is the first time the conclave has
been met at the seat Of the Alpha
Chapter since the beginning of the
great expansion program of the fra
ternity Immediately after the war.
From an organization composed OF
a few chapters on the Atlantic Sea-
board the expansion has developed
Omega until now it stretches into the
far southwest and to the Pacific
Coast and Canada, making it the
first colored college Greek letter
fraternity to become international in
scope. Last year the fraternity was
guest of the Upsilon Omega Chapter
at st. Louis, Mo. At this meeting
the two great metropolitan centers
of the country, New York and Chi
cago, made strong bids for the thir-
teenth session, but partly from senti-
mental reasons and partly through a
desire of the chapters to hold the
next session near the center of dis
tribution of the older chapters where
the meeting could take on the aspect
of a grand reunion rather than mere
ly that of a formal business gather
ing, Washington was decided upon.
DR.. C. Herbert Marshal, who has
charge of the arrangements for the
convention says that the business and
social program which has been ar
ranged will serve to give even to the
people of the capital city new and
finer idea of the place which the
College Greek letter fraternity has
rightly assumed in the educational
professional and civic life of the race
The Howard University authorities
have offered every courtesy to make
the social feature of the convention
a success.

Crisis Analyses
Negro Election
Gain and Loss
Publishers Story by Chestnut
and Essay on King Tut
and Ras Tafari.

Analysis of the gains and losses
accruing to the Negro as result Of
the recent election, is made in the
leading editorial of the December
Crisis.
Among tie Gains" are listed:
1. The prominence, for the first
time in history, of colored people in
the councils of each party organiza-
tion. ...
2. The vote polled by two Ne
groes running for Congress, DIR.
Roberts, in New York and Mr.. Wat
kins in Chicago.
8. The solid Democratic vote of
colored people in Texas against the
Khan, helping elect ma" Ferguson,
governor.
4. The exposure of the Solid
South" as a Political No Mans
Land"
The Negro's losses include:
1. Klan victories In the West.
2. The personal triumph of G.
Bascom Slemp, exponent of lily
whiteism.
The December Crisis also publishes
the first installment of a story of
Charles w. Chestnut, the first to ap-
pear in some time by the well-known
novelist and story writer; and an
article on "Tutankh-Amen and Ras
Tafari, In which the present ruler
of Abyssinia is compared with his
famous predecessor.
In this Crisis is also published a
photograph of tablet erected in the
London Hospital to Chief Mandombi,
an African, who, in 1890, voluntarily
offered himself as a subject for ex.
pertinent in order that cure for the
dreaded sleeping sickness" afflicting
his people in Nigeria might be found.
AS a result of these experiments on
the African chieftain, the little
worms causing the disease were first
made known to science. The discov-
cries so made, have saved the lives
of millions of Negroes and white
men according to one of the doctors
in charge.

New York World
Professionalism
Big Achievement

Professor George w. Carver, Negro
scientist of Tuskegee. delivered an
address in the Marble Collegiate

work and methods, which aroused
widespread comment and elected the

World of Nov. 20.
Science AS Inspiration
George Washington Carper, Negro.
who heads the department of scienti-
fic research at Tuskegee Institute, de-
clares his methods are inspired by
God. In this day, when scientists
are assailed by many Cody men,
this surely an arresting statement.
What manner of man is Carver?
Who's Who has this to say of him:
Born of slave parents on farm near
Diamond Grove, Mo-, about 1864.
In infancy lost father, and was stolen
and carried into Arkansas with moth
er, who was never heard of again.
Was bought from captors for a race
horse valued at $500, and returned to
former home in Missouri. Worked
way through high school, Mime
apolis, Kan. and later through col
lege. Bachelor of Science in agri-
culture, Iowa State College of Agri-
culture and Mechanical Arts, 1894;
Master of Science. 1896; unmarried.
Elected member of faculty, Iowa
State College of Agriculture and
Mechanical Arts, and placed in charge
of greenhouse, devoting special atten-
ton to bacterial laboratory work in
systematic botany. Teacher in Tus-
kegee Institute since 1896, now di-
rector of department of research.
Member Royal Society Of Arts, Lon
don, 1917. Awarded Spingarn Med
al, 1923.
We doff our hat. This bit of
human Hotsam, stolen once, traded
another time for $500 race horse,
rises to a point where he is awarded
the Spingarn Medal for achievement.
Now he tells us that he admits no
books to his laboratory, that the
correct method is revealed to him he
needs 1t, that all his useful re-
searches In agricultural products are
Gods work. not his. Well, why
not? Men of his race often seem
uniquely close to the Divine. Their
music is inspired by God, II ever
music was, and who will say that
science is not inspiration?

While his wife and children looked
on helplessly rescuers tried in
vain yesterday to save Anthony
Antamrtis as he sank slowly in
quicksand in the rear of his home
at Swoyersville, three miles from
here.
For two hours neighbors with
shovels kept pace with him as
his body was drawn into the sand.
The best they could do was to
keep his head free; as fast as the
sand was taken out he would sink
lower. Finally. the quicksand COW
cred his head, smothering him.
Rescuers sank wooden barrf-
cade around his body and 1t was
removed. Physicians stood ready
with pulmoters, but they could do
nothing.

perpetual noise of Halloween comes

horns in a toy shop. Even the big
buses have mild voices in comparison
with the great horns we hear in
America. We were delighted, too.
with the bells which the horses wea.
and which jingle gaily like those of

to do everything in musical way.
There are no harsh noises even along

fruit and vegetable vendors and the
wandering furniture members cry

We take special joy in little shops

1t is hard to realize that France is
