Jurymen Want
Woman Foreman
To Bob Her Tresses

Portland, Me-, Nov. 12-(AP)-For
two months Mrs. Rose M. Mariner
of Cumberland has been guiding with
a firm hand the actions of the super
ior court jury; but now, with bobbed
hair as the moot topic of debate. the
first woman jury foreman in Cum
berland County is threatened with
her control.
Eleven male jurors, aided and abet-
ted by two male supernumerary 1ur-
ors. have been besieging her for
some DAYS past to submit her tresses
to the BARRIERS bob clippers.
Thurs far Mrs. Mariner has sue
ceded in warding off the pleas OF
her fellow jurymen but it has now
reached the point where the eleven
men tried and true say they will
make a united demand for compli-
ance to their request.
In support of the male jurors an
offer was today advanced by Frank
F.. Shaw of Standish. himself mem
Der of the jury and barber by trade,
that he would contribute his services.
In reaching her decision Mrs. Mar
riner is wondering whether she
should be guided by the advice given
the jury by the court during trial
when disagreement seemed imminent,
to the effect that lone juryman,
holding out against II, should accede
to the opinions of the Overwhelming
majority.

Washington, Nov. 12-(AP)-Unit-
ed support Of house leaders of the
non-partisan tax bill now being
framed by the ways and means COM
mittee will be sought by Representa-
tive Tilson Of Connecticut, the new
Republican floor leader, to assure
early passage of the measure by that
chamber.
Mr.. Tilson has tentatively fixed De-
cember IA, week after congress
convenes. as the date for taking up
the bill In the house. No decision has
been reached on the ACCESSIBILITY of
bringing it up under a rule restrict
ing amendments.
Sub committees Of the ways and
means committee worked on details
of general provisions already agreed
upon by the full committee. The new
inheritance tax rates were not COM
pleted, though a tentative decision
was reached to make no changes in
present rates on estates amounting to
$3.50. 900 or less.
The present rate on a net estate OF
S450, 900 is per cent. A $4,000 eX-
emption is allowed, the rates begin
ming at one per cent when that figure
is passed. The committee has voted
to reduce the maximum rate from 40
to 20 per cent to apply on inheritance
in excess of $10,OOO,O0o. The brack-
cts to take the rates between six per
cent on $450,0O0 and the maximum
remain to be worked out.
Considerable difficulty has been
encountered in efforts to draft
provision exempting the spoken
drama and opera from the admission
levy of 10 per cent and Representa-
tive Rainey. Democrat, Illinois. who
has undertaken this task. expressed
doubt today that a provision accepta-
BILE to all could be drawn.

would never have married Alice
Beatrice Jones IL he had known
that her father was a negro and that
she was not of Spanish extraction as
she assured him.
This was the testimony today of
the scion of an old wealthy western
family in his suit to gain annulment
of marriage to the daughter of a
negro cabman. The suit is based on
the allegation that the defendant
deceived him into believing, her
white.
IF you had known that she was
of colored blood, would you have
married herr" Rhinelander was ask
ed.
Absolutely not" he answered,
displaying for the first time a vigor
that had been absent throughout his
testimony.

ter, Emily. had married q negro but

Jones family was English. of Spanish
extraction, and that they had never
seen a negro until they arrived in
New York from England. Emily
had been banished from the Jones
house for two years because of her
marriage to the negro, Rhinelander
said he was told.
He had married her, knowing the
humble social position of the Jones
family, he testified, adding that he
had loved her deeply. It was only
when he saw her birth certificate,
describing her as BLACK" that he
believed she was a negress. he testi-
fed. He left her after the marriage,
he said, when doubt as to her race
began to come upon him.
Most of the day was spent in read
ing Aiice's letters to Leonard over
the objection of her counsel. Lee
Parsons Davis. who said there was
no reason to fill the record with the
filthy" passages.
Don't read only the dirty parts"
he said. "Give her credit for some
nice thoughts" he remarked ss he
read portions of letters expressing
concern over young Rhinelander' S
schooling and future.
OF the more than 400 letters young
Rhinelander received from his wife,

tiers written by him to her are In the
