10--After staying out II hours the
Rhinelander jury returned a verdict
in favor of Mrs. Rhinelander. Just
what decision the presidiny Judge
wild hand down in the annulment
case is not known at this time. 1t
is expected that he will find in favor
of the defendant, II is rumored
that Mrs Alice Jones Rhinelander
vii sue Kip'S father for alternating
the affections of her husband and
aso sue for divorce with alimony.
WHITE PLAINS, n. Y.,-Lee Par
sons Davis, attorney for Mrs. Alice
Rhinelander, finished his summing
up this afternoon after speaking for
more than seven hours. He closed
with an oQuent appeal for fairness
for Mrs. Rhine,ander, begging the
jury to guard against race prejudice
and emphasizing that there was no
possibility of the Rhine anders ever
living together again after what had
been brought out at the trial.
That is matter for the future
to be settled later" said, Mr.. Davis.
You have now only to decide wheth
er this marriage is at present to be
declared the result of fraud
Mr.. Davis seemed deepy moved as
he concluded his long appeal to the
jury His voice was husky from his
efforts and his eyes were filled with
tears as he leaned over the table
and begged the jury to be fair. At
the end, former Judge Isaac n. Mills
who had been subjected to a good
deal of good-natured raj lery by Mr..
Davis toward the close of his addres
TO khe jury. reached forward his
hand, and Mr.. Davis took it, to the
amusement of the jury. =.
PUTS BLAME ON RHINELANDER
Mr. Davis spent a good deal of
time on the technicalities of the pa
perS in the case and dealt at length
with the significance of time
and motive as revealed in the
letters of Alice Jones to Rhinelander
before their marriage. He asserted
that Rhine'ander was the aggressor,
not Alice; that although he had
banned her for all the things they
had done together the letters clearly
revealed that he had brought to
fruition a carefully laid plan to be-
come intimate with the girl whom
he alter married Rhinelander said
that because the girl was older she
was to blame, but his advantages
more than offset the differences IN
their ages. Mr.. Davis contended.
'Look at the difference in their
opportunities, said Mr.. Davis This
boy is beyond his years; his face
shows it. She was a housemaid,
although that's no disgrace. On the
other hand, we have Rhinelander,
the son of wealthy man who traces
his descent in a long line from the
Hugueuots. surrounded by every lux
ury. who has trave'ed much in the
world, the son of gentleman. That
is what counteracts the disparity in
ages"
Some powerful influence was be-
hind the suit to annul the marriage
exclaimed Mr.. Davis again and
again Two days before he left his
wife. he recalled. Rhinelander as
signed mortgages worth $4,000 to
Leon r. Jacobs. his attorney of re
cord. "The pen that signed Rhine
aander's name to the complaint came
from the pocket of Mr. jacobs he
said pointing TO the similarity in
pen points and ink to prove his con
tention. 1t was Jacobs, he said who

THE ELKS DISAGREE.
Capital City Lodge Protests,
Wants No Charity Money.

The shortage of the Entertainment
Committee of the two Elk lodges
here, Williams and Capital City,
has been reported as being $S,976.
1t was a so stated that certain
members CT the committee had made
themselves responsible for a large
part of this amount. Learning of
the situation the Richmond. Va.
News Leader undertook the task OF
underwriting this amount by launch
ing drive in its columns for sub
scriptions to the fund At this

scribed, the News Leader advancing

settling fhe matter, it intensified
the feeling in CapitaS City Lodge
circ'es. 1t is understood that Grand

approval of the movement and. the
position taken was Sthat the Order

Rumors were afoat that this
method of raising money for the
Elks was not approved by Capital
City Lodge, which lodge with the
female department had contributed
$1,5O0.00 to the expense fund. They
aimed that the proper report
through the regu' ar lodge channels
had not been made and that S1.00
per member, property assessed could
be lifted and the Order saved this
kind of advertisement. In keeping
with it's belief a committee headed
by w. E. Johnson and Attorney

ton, which that newspaper declined

land and America, the Free State Of
ficials issued statements to the effect
that there was no distress or anything
like famine. On the other hand gave
the impression that the conditions in
the west this year were better than
normal.
At the end Of 1924 the Free State
government was in debt to the Eng
fish bankers to the extent Of approx
imately 14O,OO0,000 dollars and at the
present time the Free State govern
ment is negotiating another loan with
foreign bankers. It is therefore to
their interest to shield the actual con-
ditions that exist, particularly in the
west of Ireland. They are also inter
ested in getting those who have other
political opinions out Of the country
and are using the famine situation in
the west to that end.
With the scarcity of food during
the winter, the vast majority Of those
peasants found themselves without
seed potatoes for spring planting this
year. At the present time with very
little relief coming from the outside
the conditions are much worse than
they have been all winter. The I'M
fortunate families who found them
selves without potatoes, which is the
stable diet, managed, by getting help
from their more fortunate neighbors,
but now after the spring planting,
there is no longer any help to be ex-
pected, because all the supplies were
used for seed. Due to the scarcity
of seed and the continuous rains for
the past Is months the peasants ex-
pect that the situation next year will
be even forse.
The Workers. International Relief
Committee in Dublin is receiving ap-
peals daily from these famine victims
In its relief work the Workers Inter
national Relief has been much handi-
capped by the campaign Of silence
carried on by the capitalist press.
So far the Irish Workers and Peas
ants Famine Relief Committee has sue
coded in sending the sum of 100000
to the aid of these unfortunate famine
victims in Ireland. This money was
raised thru the efforts of the workers
in this country and 1t is hoped that
in spite of the attacks in the capital
list press the Irish Workers and Peas
ants Famine Relief Committee will be
in position to send more money to
the relief of the sufferers in the
west OF Irelandsin the near future.

CANADIAN COAL
MINERS SPEEDED
UP;PAY SLASHED
Nordegg c oal Camp
Faces Another Cut

NORDEGG ALBERTA, Can, May
I'm the daily master press the
public is told that the miners are
making big money. Mr.. Shanks, presi-
dent of the Western Coal Operators
Association, has told this fake story
so otter that he gradually is begin
ming to believe it himself. Let's see
who is making the money, is it the
miner or the coal concern?
It is common knowledge that in
Nordegg in No. mine many pair Of
miners load as high as 26 to 2S cars
Of coal in hours shift. This coal
weights 30 and more tons.
Company Gets Wages
For loading 80 tons of coal in 8
hours shift the miners receive S5
cents per ton (2,24O lbs.), which gives
to the miners a total sum of $3.50.
The miner earns on this occasion
$12.75. 1t looks big money, especially
when men work only two days in a
week.
When the miner pays up from his
wages the blacksmith, the check
weighman. the doctor, union dues,
sick benefit dues, his bills in coal COM
pany' store and butcher shop, rent,
light, water, club, school tax, war tax,
collections, practically 80 per cent
of his days earnings goes back to the
owners of his coal company.
Men speeded Up
For 80 tons Of coal produced by 2
miners, whose ton is 224O lbs. gross,
which the coal company sells at real
ton weight of 1000 lbs, each ton for
$4.25, which brings a total of s127.5O
to the coal company when sold. The
two miners received $25.50 which
leaves a surplus Of $4,000 for the
company to work upon.
Are there any honest men in Nord-
egg that can dispute the above nasty
figures?
At present there are 400 men en-
ployed in Nordegg. These 400 men
produce as much coal per work-day
as was produced in 1924 by 600 men,
and this after reduction of $1.17 per
day.

extend from the English workers
thru their labor unions and cooper
atives societies.
The workers, peasants and fisher
men in the west Of Ireland have en-
dured one of the worst Irish winters
under the most trying circumstances
due to the failure Of the potato crop
last harvest. While / lived in the
west of Ireland for the past five
months came in contact with scores
of families particularly in Kerry, who
told me of their hardships. They in
formed me that they had lived on one
meager meal a day, for nearly year.
Up until the middle Of April this
year, the. distress in the west received
wide publicity in the local papers in
that section of the country. Appeals
from all sections in the famine area
were made thru the papers to the gov
eminent to start work on repairing
the roads making embankments, etc.
This the government did, tho to a very
limited extent, and gave the workers
the miserable wage Of shillings a
day, to those who were fortunate to
get it. l know Of several instances in
the congested districts where there
were about 500 unemployed workers,
in a state bordering on starvation.
The Free State provided some work
but on condition that those employed
were or would become members of the
Cuman-na-Gael, the Free State party.
In addition to this the Free State gov
eminent has succeeded in getting
workers discharged on the railroads
and other places of employment, If
these workers happened to be Of a
different political opinion to the gov
eminent. 1t so happens that in the
west among the peasants there is
much dissatisfaction with the present
government AS matter of fact the
west is still stronghold Of republic
anism. M
One day last. April while talking
with an editor of one of the local
papers on the famine situation, he
informed me that he had just re-
ceived instructions to lay off the
famine stuff. In other words the pa
pers in Ireland which up to that time
we're giving much space to the dis
tress of the peasants and workers in
the west got orders from the Free
State officials to ignore the conditions,
while at the same time the Free State
government itself was giving relief by
means Of giving 2 .cwt. of coal to each
family in the surrounding districts in
Kerry and giving lunches consisting
of bread and margarine to the chill
dren in the schools.
This was done for about a month
prior to- the elections which the gov
eminent contended in nine consti-
tuence. On the success Of the Free
State party, in the bye-elections, the
relief work by the government came
to an end and Immediately afterwards
when the actual conditions in the west
got some publicity in the press of Eng
