KIP RHINELANDER
NOW SEEKS DIVORCE
Scion of Prominent Family Lives
in Nevada to File Com
plant Bill.

LAS VEGAS, New, June 12.-Harley
Harmon, attorney for Leonard Kip
Rhinelander, disinherited son of a we'll
known New York family, disclosed early
today that he has prepared divorce
complaint which young Rhinelander
plans to file against Alice Jones Rhine
lander, daughter of New Rochelle, N.
Y, Negro, within the next two weeks.
Harmon, who is district attorney here,
said Rhinelander had lived in Las
Vegas and at a nearby mountain resort
since January l under an assumed
name. He had successfully hidden his
identity by a mustache and gain of
81 pounds in weight since coming to
Nevada.
Rhinelander reluctantly admitted his
true name when confronted with News
Service pictures of himself. He eX-
planned that he had sought to avoid
publicity while establishing the six
month residence necessary to file a
divorce action in this State.
Uses Assumed Name.
Under the name of Lou Russell,
Harmon admitted, his client had re-
sided at the Nevada hotel and in a
cabin at the Charleston Mountain
resort, IS miles north of Las Vegas. He
also had operated in real estate, through
which the attorney and others who
knew Rhinelander as Russell said the
young man had made a considerable
income.
Cruelty, based upon the humiliation
my wife has caused me by her actions, .
Harmon stated, would be the basis OF
the divorce complaint which will be
filed in the Las Vegas District Court.
Couple Has Lived Apart.
The disclosure of Rhinelander's mar
rage several years ago to the daughter
of the New Rochelle hack driver was
followed by their enforced separation by
his socially prominent family. A sub
seuuent suit for the annulment OF the
marriage was denied and the young
couple permanently separated.
The former New York society youth,
under the name of Russell, has been
building a home here In which he said
he intended to live. His attorney quoted
Rhinelander as declaring he did not
care If he heard no more from his fam
lily, explaining reluctantly that he had
been disinherited by letter from his
family's attorneys about year ago.

UTILITIES FEATURE
TRADING ON CURB
Remainder of List Drifts
Without Much Change in
Quotations.
BY HARRY H. BECKER.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. June 12.-Utility shares
assumed aggressive leadership on the
Curb Exchange today and gave the
market much of its increased activity
over recent sessions. Issues of upstate
power properties scored astonishing
gains on reports that active discussion
was taking place regarding the forma-
ton of a new holding company to ac-
Quire substantial blocks of their securi-
ties. Despite the lack of details in this
connection speculative enthusiasm in a
number of cases reached such heights
that gains of 10 to 20 points resulted
in a group which we're believed to be In
a faVorite position to benefit from the
new arrangement.
Buffalo, Niagara and Eastern common
and "a" stock, Mohawk and Hudson
Power, Northeastern Power, southeast
ern Power advanced in excited faShlon
to new peaks and closed not far below
the best. Niagara shares also had
spectacular rise and most Of the other
utilities were carried in sympathy.
Renewed selling of Commonwealth
and Southern, which carried it into rec
ord low ground under % before midday,
did not exert much influence on the re-
mainder of the group. The stock has
been declining steadily from the hlgn
of 30. at which it sold shortly after
the company was organized. squirt
in Electric Bond & Share was thought
to be in anticipation of the publication
of the annual report within the next
day or so.
Outside of the utilities and a few
specialties there was not much to the
trading. Roam Antelope continued to
attract attention in the mining group,
reaching top in response to optimistic
development news from its South
African properties. There was sharp
squirt in Lerner Stores and an advance
of several points in Ainsworth Manu-
featuring on the contamination of merg-
er negotiations with another company
and expectation of an offering of rights
on favorable basis.
Fears of competition in the local
taxi field, with the entrance of new
company to operate on lower fare
schedule, caused further break in
Checker Cab The oil group was ir-
regularly lower, but inactive, and the
aviation stocks cratic. Niles Dement,

COTTON PRICES GAIN.

NEW YORK, June IL (Special). -
The combination of private estimate
on domestic consumption for May of
100000 bales more than for May last
year and an official weevil report an
nounced for Friday noon had a stimu-
lating effect on today's cotton market.
After selling of a few points early in
the day on the best weather in the
South in six weeks, the whole market
steadied and advanced about a dollar
bale, ending with gains of 10 to is

A Useful Conference.

At Memphis today, coincident with
the annual meeting OF the American
Bar Association, a conference is being
held, which deals with the most vital
interests of the peoples of the various
Federal States. 1t is the fourth annual

poses of the association are tersely

legislators of the best type, efficiently
organized; for every legislator, adequate
expert advice and the best Of informa-

In a broad and general way, the SUI

ton is to coordinate, as far as possible,
the work of the bodies which make the
laws for the forty-eight States of the

countless respects State statutes diverge

A Detective Unit.

A scientific crime detection unit has
been proposed for the District of CO.
lumbia police force. This suggestion Of
Representative Holiday of Illinois. in
spired by the recent criticisms of the
detective force, seems to be in line
with the best present-day thought in
criminology. He proposes tentatively an
scopist, gun expert, a photographer,
handwriting expert, a fingerprint ex-
pert, a chemist and a physician.
The days of the superdetective of
fiction are gone-if they ever were. No
individual, or group of unframed indi-
vidusls, can hope to have the requisite
skill to solve the problems which are
continually arising in the field of crime
detection.
This does not mean that there IS
no further place on the detective force
for the man of sound common sense,
with the faculty of making shrewd OBJ
servationS, and with fund Of informa-
ticn on neighborhood conditions gath
cred from years of experience. He will
continue his work, and from time to
time confound the experts. But eventu-
ally he is bound to give way to the ex-
pert who will do most of his work in
the laboratory.
1t is true that the Washington Police
Department now has thoroughly quail
fed experts upon whom it can call
The Bureau of Standards and the De-
partment of Justice always are willing
TO cooperate. There is need, however
Of a co-ordinated staff Of men with
special training who could lay out pro-
gram of cooperative investigation and
follow it through.
The criminal can oppose common
sense with better common sense. The
term has little real meaning. Against
Shrewd strategy he can stack shreWder
strategy. So far as eyes, ears and COM
mon intelligence extend he may we'll
be on a par with any detective force.
But against the microscope and the
calipers he is helpless, unless he happens
to be very uncommon criminal indeed.
These are the invisible eyes forever
watching him. .
With the advance of scientific methods
the ideal perfect crime" becomes more
and more of an impossibility, provided
that those set to track down the law
breaker are themselves the masters of
those methods. Already start is being
larger cities. 1t is likely that a further
impetus will be given by the work of
the Presidents crime commission.

The Car Watching" Graft.

Washingtonians who park their cars
dunn and have been held up for the
payment of a fee for watching" it and
who believed that they had the I'M
env1able distinction of being residents Of
the only community 80 yictimized will
doubtless be interested to learn that
the practice has spread to the Speed
way outside the Polo Grounds in New
York. Protesting vigorously against
this method Of extortion, the New York
Automobile Club. through its general
manager, has written TO Police Commits
sioner Whalen and Park Commissioners
Herrick, notifying the officials that not
only is a fifty-cent fee demanded, but
threats of wrecking the cars are made
If the money Is not forthcoming. In
one case nail was placed in the trans
mission of an automobile because its
owner refused to pay hoodlum for
watching" his car, and the rear axle
was broken. The most general retalia-
ton, however, is said to be simply to
drive nails or broken glass into the tires.
This is a matter that should be taken
up vigorously by the police depart
ments of both cities. In Washington's
case, of course, no set fee is demanded
but the practice is vicious in the ex-
treme. In the first place no real
watching" is done. Boys near the

Is the yawnins chasn1 which separates
one set OF divorces laws from another.
The American legislators Association
has essayed the Herculean task Of at
tempting to bring order out Of this baf-
fling legal chaos. The Memphis con-
ference will tackle some of It's multi
farious phases. Recently the basic OBJ
jects Of the association we're ta0ulated
as follows
A clearing house for legislative refer
ence bureaus, an International switch
board. a periodical, an annual confer
erce open to all legislators. an annual
assembly OF ninety-six delegates, twelve
national committees of legislators. each
with an advisory board study of the
means for improving the personnel Of
our legislatures.
One Of the cardinal aims Is to pop
ularizc the idea of inducing STATE Leg
islatures to look before they leap into
the sea Of new laws, and to do so
through the eyes Of the agency so dear
To the heart of President Hoover. the
commission of investigation. Largely
because of the initiative of the Legis-
lstors' Association. this scheme of first
aid for Legislatures is making steady
progress. All over the country State
assemblies have fact-fnding commits
sions at work. In Illinois, no fewer
than fourteen inquiries are under way
into such varied questions as the States
insurance laws. its elective system and
the opportunities for administrative re-
organization.

he had given permission TO look after
his car.
Protests have likewise been made re-
garding the local situation, but APP
parently nothing has been accomplished,
There can be absolutely no defense for
a continuation Of the practice. The
boys engaged In it are, as a whole, an
irresponsible type, too lazy or too in
eficient to get any kind of work. Their
services are of no benefit to the owner
OF the ear. and frequently are a detri-
ment. especially when with muddy
shoes and dirty clothes they experiment
to test the quality of the upholstery or
drspe themselves carelessly behind the
wheel with their feet on the window sill.
Without authority from Congress 1t
would appear that the Commissioners
had ample power to write into the
police regulations a rule that would
make for such soliciting a misdemeanor.
A few policemen could then speedily
put an end TO 1t.
