RHINELANDER'S COUNSEL
LOSES 60 LOVE LETTERS

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y, Nov. II.
P)-Sixty love-letters to wealthy
young Leonard skip" Rhinelandcr
from his bride have vanished.
Carefully guarded as evidence in his
annullment suit, they have gone from
possession of his counsel.
When Rhinelander testified yester-
day in his own behalf, six out Of
426 letters in the possession of his
attorney were introduced. Isaac
LETTERS GONE
They're gone,' he whispered.
"They were right here before the last
recess and now they're gone. They
haven't been out of my hands for a
yaer, except when they were in Il
vault, and now | leave them for a
minute and come back to find them
gone"
Attorneys said il the letters were
not found the plaintiffs case might

Among the letters are some that

the open weather, for they have been

they can make their way out.

CLEAR DOCKET
Of SUPREME
COURT
Taft Pleased With Success
OF Efforts to Relieve
Congestion.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 12.-
R)-Chief Justi.e Taft and his Su-
preme Court associates are greatly
encouraged by the success which thus
far has attended their efforts TO re-
lieve congestion on the court dockcts.
In directing their endeavor TO
prompt dispensing of justice, they al
ready have succeeded in making it
possible for q case to be reached in
its regular turn for argument and
decision, without acknowledgment
within a year.
All important cases awaiting con-
sidcration when the court meets in
October. or filed by the end of the
following December. are now ad-
vanced. heard and disposed of before
the court adjourns in June and those
of major importance, coming shortly
after the beginning of the new year,
must be disposed of before the sum
mer recess. This recalled that not
many years ago successful grants in
the lower courts were discouraged by
appeals taken to the Supreme Court
and many Of them were forced into
unwilling compromises by the delay
which confronted them, the purpose
of the appeal being frequently to force
compromises outside of court.
That condition has completely dis
appeared, and the courts dockets can
not longer be used. The high pres
sure under which the court is work
ing and its inroads upon accumulated
business. are shown by the record it
has made during the present term.
When it met October 8, there were
1877 cases on its dockets awaiting con-
sideration. During three weeks in
which it heard arguments before TAX
ing a recess October 26 to prepare
opinions in cases presented and ready
for decision, it finally disposed of pol
ceses, seven original and 1914 appellate,
with only 5000 cases since being filed
during the interim, a clear gain of
167 in reducing the number of cases
on the docket.

When Secretary Mellon resigns he

of the colossal problems which have

earned all the honors this nation can
pay him.

bankers on the inside of several of

P AIR TRAPPED
WHEN WALL |
TOPPLES
Soldiers Leg Broken and
Employe Is Covered
With Debris.

Two men narrowly escaped death
Thursday when a 6O-foot section OF
the front wall of the Southern leo
company crashed down, carrying with
it the roof over the platform.
Private Jacob Ruskowitzc of Brooks
Field, was most seriously injured, lis
right leg being broken when he was
struck by a piece of terra Gotta cop
ing from the top of the roof.
Only the fact that the piece Of
coping first struck the heavy tod and
bows of the army truck and then tie
edge of the truck body saved Rusko-
witze's life, it is believed.
TOP CRUSHED.
The bows were crushed like tooth
picks and, though the iron-bound body
was struck on the top edge, the weight
of the coping split the heavy oak for
a distance of more than two feet.
The truck had been driven up for
ding by Private Leonard Brown.
Headquarters Company, Brooks Field.
Without warning, the wall fell for
ward, crashing the roof to the plat
form.
j. E. York, an employee OF the ice
company, was on the platform and
was caught under the debris and res
cuers expected to find him dead. How
ever, he escaped without q scratch
The roof, which remained fastened to
the wall. merely pushed him against
the wall.

come when that thing came down on
me-" he said, but it was too quick
for me to even get scared very much.

company.
Damage to the plant probably will
be between $500 and $4,000, accord

James A. Boyce, her father. She was
notified and came to Chicago to claim
the body. None too sure in her identi-
fication. Miss Boyce recognized the let
tiers as her own and finally ordered the
body Of the man she believed to be her
father cremated as she had known his
last wishes to be.
Miss Boyce, an Instructor in Tran
sylvania college. returned to her teach

mother of the fathers death" and ar
ranged for the shipment Of the burial
urn.
