Rhinelander Protests on
Payment of Wife's Fees
(Preston News Service)

New York, Nov. 18-An appeal
by Leonard Kip Rhinelander from
an order denying a new trial of his
suit for annulment of his marriage
to Alice Jones Rhinelander, Fri
day, shared interest with an argu-
ment against additional allowance
of $4,000 counsel fees for the
wife.
In brief filed with the appel
late division of the Supreme Court
in Brooklyn, Isaac N. Mills, who
represented Rhinelander when his
annulment suit was tried before a
White Plains jury year ago, con-
tends that $500 counsel fees al
ready paid Mrs. Rhinelander are
too much. Only in the Stokes and
Stillman cases has so much been
allowed, he submitted.
Brooklyn, N. Y, Nov. 18-Five
Judges OF the appellate division of
the Supreme Court of New York
are considering whether they
should undo the marital knot that
ties Leonard Kip Rhinelander to
Miss Beatrice Alice Jones, the
charming maiden whom young
Kip says he married without
knowing that she had Negro blood
in her veins.
Appealing from the verdict of
the jury, which refused to annul
his marriage after a sensational
hearing several months ago,
Rhineland's attorneys completed
their arguments.
The judges composing the ap-
pellate division gave no intimation
as to when they would announce
their decision.

ty-five miles from Houston. Two of

lets, the attacking barbarians emp
tied their pistols and fed.

from end to end by the mob.

LESS AUTO NOISE.
URGED BY A. A. A.
Too Frequent Use of Horn, Lack
of Consideration for Pedes-
trians DeplOred.

A campaign against useless sound
ing of automobile horns has been
started by the American Automobile
association. Too frequent use of the
horn, it is suggested, has caused can
approximation of bedlam" in hun
dreds of communities, says a state
ment of the A. A. A. In some cities
autoists are required to sound their
horns at every crossing, in other
places they do it from force of habit,
and this has made pedestrians callous
to the warning signals.
Although the pedestrian has the
right of way at the intersection,
thousands of motorists will dash up
to the corner and count on horn
signal frightening the pedestrian out
of his legal rights. 1t gives motor
dom reputation for selfishness and
discourtesy and the elimination of
this one form of noise would go an
enormous way in healing the breach
that exists between car owner and the
non-motorist."
Another way in which excessive
noise may lead to accidents is in pass
ing machines, says the statement.
"a great many drivers are not con-
tent with a warning blast or two
when they want to pass another ma
chine. They blow the horn SO ex-
cessively that, too often, the man in
the machine ahead regards it as a
challenge and refuses to grant a fair
share of the road. Hundreds of races
on the highway that have been at
have been started in this way"
