h Triple consideration of air service
controversies, by the Mitchell court
martial. the. Shenandoah court of
Enquiry and by congress itself Is in
prospect for December.

as the army tribunal continues func-
tioning. Aside from these two
phases of the air controversy con-
gress simultaneously will have be-
fore 1t the recommendations of the
House select committee which in
vestigates government air services
and In all probability will also be
in receipt by that time of the find
ings of President Coolidge's air
board.
Plans Of the Mitchell, defense and
prosecution counsel have been re-
vealed in a way that points unmis-
takably to a stormy and prolonged
fight. The prosecution already has
decided on some thirty witnesses
who will be called to rebut every
important issue developed by the de-
Tense.
Representative Frank r. Reid of
Illinois. in charge of the Mitchell de-
Tense. was uncertain tonight wheth-
err he would put the air Office on
the stand to testify in his own be-
half when the court resumed work
tomorrow Much of the day, II not

complete the presentation of stipu-
lated and documentary evidence pre-
pared since the court recessed Fri

MYSTERY LETTERS
DUE THIS WEEK IN
RHINELANDER TRIAL

White Plains, N. Y, Nov. 22.-(AP)
The opening of the third week of
the Rhinelander annulment suit tomor-
row is expected to clear away the fog
Of rumors, reports and limitations
which has arisen since the case adj
journed for the weekend Friday at
the, request of Rhinelander's counsel.
Among the stories circulated was
one that the case would not continue
tomorrow, but this was denied by
Isaac N. Mills, counsel for the plain
tiff, young Leonard Kip Rhlnelander.
'Of course we shall continue" he
said.
The probability that the two mys-
FERROUS letters written by Rhinelander
to his negro bride, Alice Jones Rhine
lander, which caused the hurried ad-
journment will be introduced in evil
dence tomorrow has intensified interest
in the case. which had previously
drawn crowds of sensation-seekers to
the courtroom.
The possibility of Mrs. Rhinelander
bringing an action for alienation of
affections against her father-in-l law,
Philip Rhinelander, wealthy realty
operator. was rumored today.
1t was rumored that her attorneys
will file suit for 100000 in case they
win the present action.
Defense attorneys have closely
questioned each witness as to the ac-
ton Of the father in interfering in
the sons romance and have constant
ly stressed the part played in the
case by the elder Rhinelander's at
torney, Leon Jacobs. Mr.. Jacobs is
said to have taken young Rhinelan-
der away when the fact that his bride
had negro blood became public. He
also has appeared as second counsel
in the present action for annulment.
1t was said that the elder Rhinelan-
der disinherited his son after the
marriage.
Samuel F. Swinburne, attorney Of
record for Mrs. Rhinelander, said to-
day the reports that a settlement of
S200,0 upon her would be made by
her husband were absurd. Such
action would be "a crime under the
law" he said.

written by the house ways and means
committee will be kept on its record
breaking course for speed under q
program charted today by Chairman

second drafted by the committee in
two years, will be printed. The full
committee will be called together De-
cember to give final approval to the
measure in preparation for its pre-

ing two months for action by that
chamber, and the ironing out of diff
ferences between the senate and

taxes on incomes this year which are

discontinued with Premier Painleves
financial proposals, even among the
governments supporters, finally
brought about his fall today, less
than a month after he had reconsti-
tuted his ministry to meet the wishes
of the radical groups in the chamber
The defeat of the ministry came
when the chamber refused by three
votes. to accept article five of the pro-
posals, providing for enforced consol-
idat:on Of. the short term debt. al.
though a previous motion for the
elimination Of the article had been
defeated.
The vote on the main question was
27S to 275, and on the earlier vote, to
reject article 5, M Painleve had only
a majority Of % with rs communists
abstaining. When the article came up
for final acceptance, the communists
voted against the government, and
the switching Of other votes complet-
Ell the defeat.
There was a dramatic scene in the
chamber. M. Painleve, after the an
nouncement, walked from ire room,
followed by his ministers. Amid much
excitement M Herriot, leader of the
radical Socialists, moved adjourn
ment, which was taken until Tues
day next. -ss'
After the final vote the ministry
met hastily and presented their letter
of resignation to President Doumer-
que. who Immediately began conver-
satior looking to the formation of >
new ministry. The ministry corsid-
cred most likely in political circl -
would be concentration governm emit
designed to command the support of
the Center and Moderate Left. and
not relying for It's existence in cri-
sis, as did that Of M. Pain1eve, upon
the votes of the Extreme Left.
