MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, IR THE RICHMOND PLANET JURY DISAGREES IN THE SWEET CASES 5 For Acquittal of 11 Defendants--7 For 3 Convictions. Case Cost $20,000----The Association to Fight to a Finish. VOLUME XLIII, NO. 4 JURY DIS IN THE CAS 5 For Acq Defendan 3 Conv Case Cost $20,0 ciation to Figh (Preston News Service) DETROIT. MICH. December 4.—Separate trial for each of the eleven defendants in the Sweet murder case wt; be demanded by the defense, Clarence Darrow, chief counsel told Judge Frank Murphy, Friday, after the jury had been dismissed in the first trial. The jury was released at 1:30 P. M., after having deliberated for forty six hours without reaching a verdict SEVEN FAVORED ACQUITTAL. It was learned that seven of the jurors favored acquitta for all of the defendants, while five fought to the end for the conviction of Dr. Sweet, his brother, Henry Sweet and Leonard Moss, on a charge of man slaughter. Immediately following the dis missal, Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense moved for a new trial and asked that bail be fixed for the defendants, who have been held in jail since their arrest on the night of September 9th. The motion was argued at 4:30, with the out come that the date of the new trial was fixed for the first week in January, white bond of $5,000 each with one surety, was allowed in the case of all the defendants except the three whom the five jurors are said to have favored convicting. BAIL SOUGHT FOR ALL. Prosecuting Attorney Robert M. Tombs definitely fixed the degree of difference in the status of the defendants, when he urged that bond be denied the three principals. He suggested that ball in the case of the others be fixed at $10,000. Dar row and Arthur Garfield Hays, assistant defense counsel, both argued that the sum was excessive, and that ball should be allowed all their clients. Toms stated that he had not had sufficient time to consider the ques tio of ball, and urged that the court grant him three or four days to "think the matter over as affecting the three principals." Over the pro test of Darrow and Hays, who decared they wished to go away feeling that they had done every thing possible for their clients, the court said he would hold the three men without ball until next Wednes day, when he would hear arguments concerning their release. HAYS ARGUES FOR SWEET "Of all the defendants," said Hays "Dr. Sweet should be the first to be admitted to bail. No one could have any doubt that he would be here for trial. I doubt very much if he would accept bail until all the other defendants are out. I will gladly take the responsibility for him being in court." Darrow said: "Nobody thinks Dr. Sweet, Henry Sweet or anyone else had any intention of killing any one. The only possible thing is that they shot through an error of judgment, before there was sufficient justification. All the facts show there was no malice or criminality in the crime. I see no legal reason why bail should not be granted to each of my clients." "This is a difficult question for me to decide," said Toms, "because of my responsibility to the people of both sides. As I review the testi mily I see a difference between the degree of guilt of Dr. Sweet, Henry Sweet, Leonard Morse and the others. These three group them selves together. I want to proceed cautiously and weigh well what the State should do. There is no legal reason why defendants other than these three I have named should not be admitted to bail. As to the others, the question is too serious for me to pass on now." The case has cost the defense more than $20,000. Walter White, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, stated Friday night, before leaving for New York. He said arrangements had been made for Darrow and Hays to continue as defense counsel. N. A, A. O. P. WILL FIGHT THE SWEET CASE TO A FINISH. NEW YORK, Nov. 29—Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, returned this morning from Detroit, where he had been throughout the trial of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet and ten other Negroes charged with murder for defending Dr. Sweet's home from a mob on September 9. Mr. White's report of the present status of the Sweet case, which has commanded nationwide attention, is as follows: After 46 hours of violent argument, which could be heard some times by persons outside the jury room, the jury disagreed. It was rumored that five jurors had stood for acquittal and seven for acquittal of 8 defendants and conviction of second degree murder for 3 of the defendants. The jury was dismissed at 1:31 P. M. on Friday, Nov. 27, and thereafter Mr. Darrow filed a motion for a new trial and made a second motion that all 11 of the defendants be admitted to bail. New trial has been agreed upon for the first week in January. Eight of the defendants were at once admitted to bail in $5,000 each which was furnished by colored citizens of Detroit, but opposition from the prosecutor in the case of the remaining three, led Judge Frank Murphy to set Wednesday, Dec. 2 for argument. Mr. White will return to Detroit in time for argument. (Continued on page 4) DEATH OF WILLIAM SEWELL The funeral of Mr. William Sewell who departed this life November 20 1925, was held from the Mt.

Robert Jones, his companion was thrown clear of the car and escaped serious injury. It is stated that the right wheel of the car got off the concrete and in an effort to bring the car back, the run on the Hudson car came off. KILLED AT STEERING WHEEL. The car turned over three times, landing upright. Taylor was found huddled up under the steering wheel with his skull fractured. a heavy gash being just under and back of his right ear. It was not long before Funeral Director A. D. Price Jr. was on the spot awaiting the arrival of the coroner. The remains were carried to his undertaking establishment. Rev. J. L. Taylor, rector of St. Philips P. E. Church was at St. Paul Church at the time listening to an able discourse. He lost no time in reaching the scene of the tragedy. HIS LAST ACT Carl Alexander Taylor was 19 years of age. He read the Bible at family prayer service on Sunday morning, attended Sunday School church and took part in the services incident upon the eve of St. Andrews Day. His death took place on St. Andrew's Day. His last act was that of taking needed gifts to a desitue widow and her six children. He was a senior at Armstrong High School and belonged to the athletic organization. He was the eldest of Rev. Taylor's four children and lived with his father at 506 St. James Street. Rev.

FIFTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH EXERCISES BROKEN UP—A CONCRETE BLOCK WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE—PECULIAR CON DITIONS. No corner-stone was laid Thursday day, November 26. 2:30 P. M. as announced, due to a most unfortunate misunderstanding or blunder. According to the statements of the respective parties no one is to blame. The facts as gathered from both sides seem to be that the Fifth St. Baptist Church invited Capital City Lodge, No. 107, Masons to lay the corner-stone. Deputy Grand Master George Washington and Past Grand Master C. Bernard Gilpin were in direct charge of the affair. Rev. T. J. King, D. B., the able pastor, who has brought the work to this advanced stage of progress wanted the corner-stone laid on the front corner which is the south-west corner. MUST BE NORTH-EAST CORNER Masons ay corner-stones only on the north-east corner, whether that corner be in the front or in the rear. The corner-stone had been set and was lettered with the inscription desired by the pastor, Messrs. Washington, Gilpin, the architect, and Dr. King met on the lot and went over the situation. The two Masonic officials state that they advised Dr. King that it would be necessary to secure a stone of either granite or marble to be laid in the north-east corner as he was unwilling to have the real corner-stone carried over and laid in the other corner. DOES NOT CONCEDE IT. Dr. King does not concere this, but says that the Masons "O K-ed" the block of concrete. Rev. Dr. King was conducting his religious exercises on the front, while the Masonic lodge was in the rear, having gone to the trouble and the expense to secure a dispensation from Grand Master Si S. Morris, employed a band of music and secured the corn, oil and wine for the cornerstone ceremony. When they could not find a cornerstone, Dr. King was sent for and when the Masons' official's said that they could not lay a block of concrete for a cornerstone and had not agreed to do so. Dr. King disputed it. CROWD LEAVES. Then Col. W. H. Anderson, a Mason, said to him, "Don't dispute a Mason." Dr. King says that he caught hold of him when he made the remark. The officials gathered up their "working tools" and retired to the street, where the band struck up, carrying most of the crowd away. As they were in the act of lifting a collection, this was broken up. Rev Dr. King was unwilling to place the expense of another corner-stone on the church. Fifth Street Baptist Church has but one corner-stone! It is on the south west corner and the deposit of articles has been made and the work of building the church is proceeding.

RHINELANDERS' ANNULMENT CASE Mrs. Rhinelander Weeps as She Bares Her Body to the Jurymen. More Testimony Severe Grilling by Defense Counsel Rich Northerner Fights for Divorce NEWSOME AND THE DAILY PRESS WHITE EDITOR HAD CHARGED HAMPTON WITH TEACHING "SOCIAL EQUALITY" The following letter was sent to the Editor of The Daily Press, Newport News, Va., by Hon. J. Thomas Newsome, in the Hampton Institute controversy on the race issue: "Sir: This writer knows and appreciates the attitude of the Editor of the Daily Press in his stand on the necessity of the separation of the races. There is nothing new in the South in his position. With this view he will find some opposition from my (the Negro) people. The happiest man in the whole world is the Negro with himself. I doubt if any human has the same capacity as the Negro for the full enjoyment of life as the Great Father has given it. He sings and laughs and wonders why all of God's people are not happy in this great, big, wonderful world to which we are visitors without our choice or volition. PROUD OF HIS RACE If he sits by a white man he forgets about it in his desire to see what is "coming off" on the program. He never forces himself upon the white man anywhere. The thoughtful Negro is proud of his race. He believes that God is just. That in all essentials He has ordained that all His children should be happy contented, progressive. The Hampton Normal School has made a miserable failure if it "teaches social equality", for there is not a city or town in the United States where there is less friction between the races than in the City of Hampton. And the Editor of the Daily Press (who, by the way, is my personal friend), knows that not a thoughtful Negro in our own forward-looking city, ever intrudes himself into any society where he is not wanted. NO INTERMARRIAGE THERE. The Hampton Normal School', located in the Old Dominion, with its students coming from all corners of the earth, has yet to record the first attempt of any of its students to attempt to intermarry with the white race. I believe if more of our white friends would visit the Hampton Normal School', and see how happy its students are in the society of themselves, there would be no fear that they seek "social equality". Some of our distinguished white friends boast that they have never visited the Hampton School. For this fact, I am sorry. Such friends are themselves the losers; for no man can see the students at work at Hampton, or note their behavior on the grounds or hear them sing one of the soul-stirring spirituals with out thankking God for such a country as ours "where in all things purely social we may be as separate as the fingers, yet as one as the hand." Let us be fair with ourselves. Let us live and work together in this great experiment, under the teaching of the Master—of love one for the other. Very truly. J.

RIGHMOND' VIRGINIA Doctor Repairs Surgical Tools to Give 11 Orphans College Education WITH a tool sharpening outfit and a motor truck home, Dr. L. A Clark, Stuttgart, Ark., tours the country for one great purpose—to do unto others. And his efforts have resulted in 11 orphans gaining college educa- tions. There is more happiness in a life died for others than in one in which success is gained in a profession and a fortune accumulated for one's self. That is the life's sermon of Dr. Clark and both Clark and Mrs. Clark affi- the fact that they are happier in a nomadic life—one in which saving a fortune has been a last thought—than they would have been in a life lived in the more usual way. In the Tale of Maltie of miss- sionary parents, Dr. Clark came the United States at the age of four. When seven he ran away from home in New York and became a boot- black. Then it was, Dr. Clark says, that he learned what difficulties confront; boys trying to make their own way. "I resolved, if ever I were able, to help as many homeless boys and girls as possible," Clark explains. Later he attended medical schools. Then ill health overcame him and the physician and his wife started traveling. Mrs. Clark, an orphan, sympathized with her husband in his eagerness to aid homeless children. They traveled and Dr. Clark confined his efforts to mechanical work on surgical tools. In that line he met many leading physicians and doctors throughout the country. with them aiding in finding worthy young men and women, Dr. THE FAMILY OF MARY E. HARRIS DR. AND MRS. L.

DECEMBER 5, 1925 THE PASTOR of the Fifth Street Baptist Church seems to be thoroughly convinced that he can lay his own corner-stones hereafter. DISAPPOINTMENTS in this life are always just ahead of you. Provided you brace yourself to meet them, you will live just as long one way as you will the other. CHILDREN, WHO OBEY their parents are having such a hard time and those, who disobey this same class of people are having such a good time, that the former are disposed to join the latter and they appear to be everywhere doing so. SOME PEOPLE, who "raised the devil" because the Liberian Government did not get five million dollars from the United States Government are raising the same thing because that same Republic is to secure several million dollars for rubber concessions in the same country. It is about the difference between "Tweede dee and tweede dum." It amounts to the same thing after all. IT IS REPORTED that George Jones, father of Alice Beatrice Jones who was wed by the wealthy young Rhinelander, hailed thirty-five years ago from Lynchburg, Va. He went to England and was employed as a coachman. He met the white maid and married her and Alice is one of the results of the union. It took a long time for him to face trouble and much trouble. As for Rhinelander, he deserves no sympathy and he doesn't seem to be getting any not even from his own people. DR. B. B. MOTON THE BALTIMORE AFROAMERICAN announces that Dr. R. R. Moton the distinguished Principal of Tuskegee Institute, is seriously ill there at John Hopkins Hospital. He was carried there by his personal physician. We have noted carefully these cases hurried to this great medical centre and it usually means not the beginning of the end, but the end. When a man cannot get relief in the medical centres in his immediate neighborhood, he is in a dangerous condition. Dr. Moton, in his effort to meet the requirements of his position has driven the human machinery beyond its gauged capacity. He had an "iron" constitution and a will power that was well-nigh superhuman. He wore a tired look recently and we are not at all surprised that he is nearing the River, where death will give him needed relief. He is a remarkable character and we hope to God that our prediction may not be fulfilled. FULTON NOTES The Pastor and members of Mt.

JURY DISAGREES (Continued from Page 1.) for ball for these three defendants who will be held until then: Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, Henry Sweet and Leonard Morris. Contrary to published reports in the daily press, Mr. Darrow has not yet asked for separate trials for each of the 11 defendants but he announced that he probably would do so. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced in connection with the news of the disagreement and the motion for a new trial that it would fight the case while there was any court in the land to appeal to until the 11 colored people were acquitted. Mr. White stated that the expense of the trial to date had been about $20,600, the transcript of testimony alone costing $2,081.60. "One of the most impressive sights I have ever seen," declared Mr. White, "was the way in which colored people in Detroit flocked to the trial. At half after midnight on Thanksgiving morning, when the jury was still arguing and sent out for instructions, the courtroom was packed. At 2:10 in the morning, when the jury was sent to bed, bailiffs had to make way through the crowd for the jurymen. All Thanksgiving Day colored people remained waiting and watching, many of them going without Thanks giving Dinner in order to be on hand. "I want to pay a tribute to the magnificent way in which Judge Murphy conducted the trial. He did his utmost to exclude the issue of race prejudice and his final charge to the jury was a masterpiece of scholarly learning and judicial immortality." "The case has largely changed public sentiment in Detroit. The better case opinion is now with the defendants although the Klan is of course more bitter than ever. But the N. A. A. C. P. will continue to fight the case and both Messrs. Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays will continue to lead the defense until a conclusion has been reached." NEGRO ORGANIZATION SOCIETY PRESENTS RESOLUTIONS. The Negro Organization Society assembled in Staunton, Virginia observing with unbiased vision the agencies employed in the promotion of the program of better schools, better homes, better health and better farms and noting with what success these efforts have met, offers the following resolutions: 1. That we express our unqualified gratitude for what has been done by the State in advancing the standard of education among Negroes; for whatever grounds for future im provement we may recognize, how ever, we see still the outstanding needs of further accomplishments in the line of a larger number of well qualified teachers; encouraged by the promise of a more adequate salary, better buildings with suitable equip ment and longer school terms. We therefore urge the State to enlarge the facility for teacher training by the establishing another Normal School for Negro aspirants, to use its power to increase teachers' salaries, to build and equip more suitable elementary and high schools. 2. We recommend that each city town and county have a local committee to ascertain and determine the needs of the school; within its jurisdiction, and present these needs authoritatively, to the school board to the hopeful end that the board would hear the representations and pass favorably upon the same whenever possible. We further believe that it would be sane and feasible to have a Negro to serve as an assistant to the State Supervisor of Negro Schools in Virginia. We furthr urge parents to send their children to school promptly and regularly to the end that the schools might better accomplish their purpose. 3. We highly appreciate the work that is being done at Piedmont Sanatorium for the relieving of human suffering by lessening the terrible ravages of tuberculosis. Indeed it seems that this hitherto unbridled monster will soon be under the power of scientific skill; and that his glory will be a faded flower; therefore we renew our pledge to continue our support to this worthy cause; and that we with unfenged approval give thanks to Dr. M. E. Davis and to all who have helped to make it possible for him to have reached almost enviable success. We also endorse the work of the State Dentist and urge our people to take advantage of the good offered them. 4. We recognize that home is the shrine of human affection and the one place where earthy bliss and Heavenly visions lose themselves in one common ecstasy. Thus we approve every effort made to improve our homes, looking forward to the ideal in morals, industry, general intelligence. 5. We are mindful of the fact that the stability of a nation rests upon the prosperity of its citizens; and the prosperity of the people in large measure depends upon the fertility of the soil and the skillful hand of the husbandman. therefore the efforts of this society greatly appeal to our best indulgence and hep. 6. The tender hand of sympathy and charity held over the delinquent girls at Peakes and boys at Hanover has not escaped our notice. We in recognition of these beautiful labs register our approval and thanks to the State Board of Charities. We stand for law and order and urge upon all to be law-abiding. We de-nounce all efforts made by self-constituted law makers, whose law depend upon their execution upon violence and degradation of every principle of the Declaration of Independence. We note with deep regret and bitter sorrow the death of that heroine in the battle for right and righteousness, Mrs. Della L. Hayden. She was an honored THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA THE FARMER'S WEEKLY The South has experienced its first bite of frost and Miss Fannie Kate Hollingsworth, Tifton, Ga., is about to experience her first bite of the season's persimmon crop.

Mr. Davis demanded that he produce a single letter in which she had expressed a desire for such letters or had written such things to him, and Rhine lander sat silent. SHOWS COLOR OF HER SKIN The other sensation of the day was when Mr. Davis dramatically called on Justice Morschauser to clear the courtroom of all men in it not having business there so that he might have Mrs. Rhineander partially disrobe and show the jury how dark her skin was. He contends that Rhinelander could not have known her as well as he did without knowing that she was colored. Mrs. Rhineander was told to go into the jury room, where before the jury and a lawyer from each side she bared her body to the waist. She was crying as she was led to the room and crying as she left it. The letters were introduced early in the morning after Judge Mills, attorney for Rhinelander and Mr. Davis had locked horns over statements as to the adjournment. When court opened and everyone was on tiptoe to know if the case would go on or if the introduction of the letters had forced the Rhinelander to halt the case, Judge Mills arose and said that he wished to make a statement, which he would read for the purpose of making an accurate record. Mr. Davis at once objected unless he had an opportunity to examine the statement. "Having previously requested two adjournments I feel it my duty and right in resuming the trial to make a brief statement," said Judge Mills. He read from the record the questions of Mr. Davis which preceded the introduction of the first letter, when Mrs. Rhinelander's attorney demanded to know if young Rhinelander still wished to continue the trial. MILLS CHARGES THREAT "That, your Honor," said Judge Mills, "was a deliberate threat that unless the plaintiff discontinued this trial this letter besmirching him would be spread upon the record." Judge Mills elevated his arms and vibrated all over as he put into his accents all over the emphasis of which he was capable. Mr. Davis immediately jumped to his feet his voice trembling with emotion. "That is the most improper statement I have ever heard from a lawyer." he exclaimed. "It was made for one purpose, to bring about a mistrial in this case. A younger lawyer would not dare to make such a statement. Are we trying this case on the evidence, or attempt to poison and prejudice—" "I was overwhelmed when I received copies of these letters," broke in Judge Mills. "I have a sort of one track mind, and I craved an ad journment that I might have time to make certain investigations." Then he made what every one present thought to be a most important statement, in view of the rumors over the week-end that Judge Mills had tried to reach the elder Rhine lander in order to put a stop to the case. "I thought it my duty," he said, "to put before those who are interested in this young man, those who by nature should be interested, in order to give them an opportunity—Again Mr. Davis, who had been on his feet all this time, broke in and exclaimed that there was nothing on the record to justify such a remark-Judge Mills' turned from the bench and confronted him, and with true old-fashioned oratory, his arms raised and his fists clenched, exclaimed: "My answer to his threets, your RISING MT, ZION BAPT, CHURCH.

REDHER After a few more questions, Mr. Davis turned to Justice Morschauser and said: "I am going to ask that the court room be further cleared because I am going to ask him to identify the color of his wife's skin. Judge Mills was on his feet in an instant, objecting. Mr. Davis said that he wanted to prove to the jury that Rhineander must have known his wife was colored. Judge Mills cailed it an indecent proceeding." But Justice Morschaucher said he did not think it indecent and that it could be modestly done, by taking the jury, one lawyer from each side and a stenographer into the jury room with Mrs. Rhineander. She burst into tears as she walked from the court room and went to the small jury room. Rhineander, also in the room seemed reluctant to look at his wife, but Mr. Davis insisted. When they returned to the court room Mr. Davis asked: "Your wife's body is the same shade as when you saw her in the Marie Antoinette?" "Yes," said Rhinelander. "That's all," said Mr. Davis and the 'ong cross examination was over. Then Judge Mills took his client in hand again. ANOTHER LETTER FROM WIFE. He asked Rhinelander who suggested the mythical chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Mathews, who were supposed to accompany him and Alice on their New England automobile trip, and Rhinelander said, "Alice asked me to." Much had been made by Mr. Davis of the fact that Mrs. Rhinelander did not drink or smoke as "society girls" did, and Judge Mitl's read a letter from her which said. Love Dove, Such a beautiful day hear today, I thought and thought of you today. Tonight, I have asked three girls and three fellows, and going to have a game of bridge. So will write you a shee until today, and this Evening I will finish it as I want to let you no who won the game. I am very clever with cards, although father never let us play at home, as he claims, nothing but gamers play cards. So dearest, I shall stop hear until tonight when I finish it. Helfow dearest, it just 1:15 A. M. and feel so good and happy, after our exciting game, of pooker, bridge and black jack, was the three games we played, and smoked. The first game in pooker I won three times, and got full house, last in Black Jack, and won several times, in bridge, won four dollars, and half, so I did not do bad did I Len, but I feel so lively now. One of the boys made two different kinds of high halls, as Mrs. Alderson gave us a bottle of rye whisky, and we had fun. I never felt so frisky, I thought of you the night, up at Chatworth, and Carl, how we went home that night in the car. But a good thing, those feathers did not after go home in a car, or they would of nevered got there. Can you imagine, finished the old bottle. Leonard, if you don't come back soon, you will think, I am going too far. But is the first real good time I had since, I have been up hear, as the time is getting very short now, as we go home around 15 of Sept. But one of the girls 'lives up hear, and I have gotten very much devoted to hear. She is a real good pal, and also seems to be a true one. She said, and hear mother, as asked me, must to speak, one week, up hear, in the winter, as I will have a wonderful time, skating and sleigh riding off the Mts. I might, this winter if dear 'dard spires, me hear. Wei dearest I must stop as its getting to be two o'clock in the morning. Good night, night daddy, half as 'een— When Rhinelander finally 'eft the stand every one watched him curiously as he made his way behind the jury box and through the crowd ed chairs to his seat. He seemed utterly unconcerned, picking his way carefully through the crowd so as not to step on any one's toes, or brush them too closely. WITNESS CAUSES LAUGHTER. There was a cavic relief to the intensity of the day when Joseph Rich, a furniture man of Mount Vernon, followed Rhinelander in the witness chair and testified having sold Rhinelander his furniture for the Jones home and later for his apartment. He was asked about Mrs. Rhinelander's complexion and said that one election night in 1924 he and his wife had gone to New York with Mr. and Mrs. Rhinelander and had dinner at a Chinese restaurant, Mrs. Rhinelander said then that she wore long sleeves because she was so dark, and that she was "of Spanish descent." Mr. Rich said that Mrs. Rhinelander had come to his house after "Leonard had been taken away from her," and that she had told him her father would spend every cent he had to prove she was white, and that RHINELANDER (Continued on page 4) an opportunity to consider whether I will ask for a mistrial." "I don't think there is any neces- sity for a mistrial," said Justice Mor- schauer, mildly. "Will your Honor give me an opp- portunity to consider if I will ask for it," said Mr. Davis DENIES MOTION FOR MISTRIAL His request was granted, and after a few minutes' recess Mr. Davis made a motion for a mistrial on the ground of prejudicial comment by opposing counsel. His motion was denied by Justice Morschauer, who however, requested the jury to disregard the comments they had heard. Mr. Davis said he had intended to confine his cross-examination of Rhinelander to half an hour or morg, but that circumstances had made that impossible. He then indicated that he would read the letters, and Justice Morschauer said: "I want to give every woman a chance to leave this courtroom. If I were a woman I would not want to stay in the room and hear these letters." The Court reminded those present that under the law he had the right to clear the room, but did not want to be forced to do so. He did, however, instruct the court officers to out all the young persons present. Several women left, but others who had been standing took their places. When Mr. Davis resumed his examination of Rhinelander, he was evidently struggling for self-control. The collision with Judge Mills had aroused him to a point where his voice shook, and as he asked questions regarding the conferences Rhinelander had had with Judge Mills, in which the young man said he had talked with his counsel only five minutes since the Thursday recess, he leaned toward Rhinelander and confronted his stolid, direct glance with one of pitiless intensity. Then he suddenly picked up one of the letters, the milder of the two. Justice Morschauser asked to see a copy of it and after reading it he ordered all women from the room. They trooped out. RHINELANDER UNDISTURBED. During the reading of this letter Rhinelander kept his eyes half closed and did not look up once. His demeanor during the entire day was remarkable, for he gave the impression of being driven indomitably by something outside of himself, answering questions mechanically, never lifting his expressionless voice and showing no emotion over things which would have proved intolerable to most men in his position. When he spoke in answer to Mr. Davis's questions he appeared like a ventrilouist's puppet, his lips would vibrate a moment, his eyes would twitch, and then flat toneless words would come. "You loved her then?" demanded Mr. Davis, meaning when he wrote that letter which had just been read. "Yes," he said, drinking a glass of water. "When you sat down and wrote that 'letter you loved her'?" "Yes." Judge Mills objected to Mr. Davis shouting, and Mr. Davis turned sharply on him, and said, raising his arms and shaking them: "I might have objected to Judge Mills going 'brrrr' this morning." Justice Morschauser calmed the two lawyers by asking Rhinelander if he was upset by the tone of Mr. Davis's voice, and when Rhinelander said he was not, Justice Morschauser smiling said he thought that answered Judge Mills objection. Rhinelander finally explained that the letters were "a safety valve to my emotions." "You recognize that letter as smut?" demanded Davis. "Yes," said Rhinelander. Then Mr. Davis read the second letter, which was much worse than the other. DAVIS SPRINGS ANOTHER SURPRISE. Again Mr. Davis asked Rhine'and- er if he loved Alice when he wrote that way to her, and he said he did. "Did you intend to make her your wife when you wrote this to her?" "I had visions of it." "Visions," exclaimed Mr. Davis. "Have you any letters from Alice that use 'language like this?' "No." "When you wrote that letter you knew it was the vilest kind of smut didn't you?" "Yes," he said, and added that he wrote it at her request. "Oh, you put it up to Alice, do you?" said Mr. Davis. "Show me one letter from Alice where she asks you to write this kind of stuff" There was no reply from Rhine and er. TOBEY AND TYKE August 6, 1922. 5 P. M. ALICE. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Rhinelander had told her if she could prove she was white he would stick to her. Mr. Rich became somewhat upset when Mr. Davis began his cross-examination, and started off by saying that he was "sore at the entire case" because it had kept him from his business so long. Then Mr. Davis referred to the conversation with regard to Mrs. Rhinelander's sleeves, and the witness said that his wife, who was in evening dress was very "much pained" because Mrs. Rhinelander had on long sleeves, and thought that "if she was going out into society she should have an evening dress on." "Mr. Rhinelander did not resent this criticism?" asked Mr. Davis. "No, if you can call it criticism." "What do you call it?" "Being frank," asked Mr. Rich, as those in the room chuckled. "It is certainly frank," retorted Mr. Davis, and Justice Morschauser had to threaten to clear the room because of the laughter. Rich also said that Mrs. Rhinelander appeared darker to him now than she had then and gave as an explanation that she might be nervous. "Oh, you think nervousness is turning her face black?" "It could," said Rich, who added that he still thought she looked Spanish. RHINELANDER ASKS TO AMEND CHARGE AGAINST WIFE. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Nov. 24—An attempt to amend the complaint against Acee Jones Rhinelander, the Negro wife of Leonard Kip Rhinelander, who is being sued for anulment of their marriage, was made this afternoon after the jury had been excused because Mrs. Rhinelander was too ill to go on the witness stand. Lee Parsons Davis, his attorney, had intended to call her as the first witness, but he said he had to change his plans because of her break-down after being forced to show part of her body to the jury the day before. She was too weak today to submit to examination. The request for an amendment to the complaint caused, considerable surprise. Former Judge Isaac N. Mills, Rhinelander's chief counsel, after completing his case, in which he attempted to show fraud, said he wished to change the complaint from affirmative fraud to negative fraud. In other words, he wished to charge that whereas Rhinelander may not have believed his wife to be colored, she was guilty of negative fraud when she did not say she was colored. Rhinelander has testified that she said she was white and that she believed her. OPPOSED BY THE DEFENSE. This situation proved embarrassing for both sides, for neither wants a mistrial—Judge Mills because to withdraw a juror and amend the complaint before trying the suit again would be admitting a weak case, and Mr. Davis because he feels that he has the suit won on the issue as presented and does not want to open the way to a complaint which might be more difficult to oppose. Judge Mills said that the o'd procedure in amending a complaint during a trial was to withdraw a juror and go to Special Term for an amendment, and argued that under the new Civil Procedure it was possible for Justice Morschauser to permit an amendment, so that it would be permissable for Judge Mills to argue that Mrs. Rhinelander should have told her husband she was co-owed before he married her. Mr. Davis objected strenuously to permitting the amendment to the complaint at this juncture, inasmuch as his whole theory of the case had been based upon a complaint which alleged affirmative fraud, but said that, although he did not feel that Justice Morschauer could permit the amendment, he would waive technicalities. He also made it very pain that he did not want a juror withdrawn. "First they say she said too much and now they say she said nothing," said Mr. Davis. "Judge Mills wants two arrows to his bow. I won't quarrel over the technicalities involved, but I feel that in asking an amendment at this late date they are guilty of laxity." COURT TO DECIDE TODAY. Judge Morschauser said that he would take the matter under consideration and make his decision tomorrow morning. There were some indications that he would not grant Judge Mills's request because of the nature of the case, although it would rest with counsel to end the trial by demanding that a juror be withdrawn and a mistrial declared. Only a few witnesses were called today. Mrs. Mriam Rich, the wife of the furniture dealer who took Mr. and Mrs. Rhinelander cut to dunner and the theatre, furnished some amusement during the morning. She said she was much upset because of a remark she had heard from a member of the Jones family as she passed them on the way to the witness stand, and her resentment was shown in the manner in which she replied to Mr. Davis in his cross-examination. She was indignant at Mrs. Rhine.ander, she said, because she had deceived her as to her color when Mrs. Rhine lander was entertained at her house. "The whole of Mount Vernon had a good laugh at me, and my husband too," she said. "You are the laughing stock of Mount Vernon?" asked Mr. Davis, solicitously. "Yes, in the social circles where I am accustomed," she replied. Yes, in the social circles where I am accustomed," she replied. The witness said Mrs. Rhinlander told her that "she was a poor girl of dark color, of Spanish descent, and the millionaires didn't want her." She fully believed Mrs. Rhinlander to be white, she said, because she had a dinner at the Jones home and met there twenty refined white, people. Mr. Jones said he was English and dropped his "h's" saying his "app ome had been broken up," she said. COUPLE PLANNED A REUNION. The witness testified that Rhinelander telephoned to her on the night he was taken away from the Jones home by Mr. Jacobs and asked her to take good care of his wife and that he would never forget her. At this time Mrs. Rhinelander was staying at Mrs. Rich's house. The Rhinelanders had planned a reunion which never took place, she said. They intended to give a dinner at their apartment which they occupied for a short time, the witness continued, and invite Philip Rhinelander, young Rhinelander's father, and some of his friends. The Richs were to be included. Mrs. Rich also said she had been told it was Leon R. Jacobs, one of Rhinelander's attor neys, who suggested that the Rhine landers better separate for a time because of the Ku Klux Klan. At the start of the afternoon session Rhinelander was recalled to the witness stand and Mr. Davis asked him: "You remember the day you ap pled for the marriage license, don't you?" "Yes," he replied. "Did the man to whom you ap pled ask either of you if you were white or colored?" "No." "He just put it down himself?" "Yes." "That's all," said Mr. Davis, and Rhinelander resumed his seat at the counsel table. Judge Mit's then announced that the plaintiff rested his case. DAVIS BEGINS DEFENSE Beginning his defense, Mr. Davis said that he had been forced to change the presentation of his defense because of Mrs. Rhinelander's illness. He moved to dismiss the complaint but the motion was denied by Justice Morschauer. The first witness Mr. Davis called was Mrs. Barbara Reynolds of New Rochelle, who at the time the Rhinelander marriage first became public was a newspaper reporter. "Do you know Mr. Rhinelander?" Mr. Davis asked. "Yes I met him Nov. 13, 1924," she said. "Where did you meet him?" "In the Jones residence." "Under what circumstances?" "I was there to get an interview for the Standard News Association." "What was said?" "I was waiting at the house and Mr. Rhine'ander came along. The first question I fired at him was. 'Mr Rhine'ander?' and he said 'yes.' Then he knew he was my man. I asked him 'is it true that you are married to the daughter of a colored man?' and he said 'yes.' Then I asked him where he had been and he said he had been in New York. I asked him if his people were alive. He said his mother was dead. I asked him if it would make any differenc' if his father knew of the marriage. He replied, 'Oh yes, it means my wife's happiness and mine.' He asked me to withhold the story." After brief cross examination by Judge Mills, Mrs. Reynolds left the witness stand. DEFENSE CALLS JACOBS. Leon R. J. Jacobs, one of Rhinelander's attorneys, was next called by Mr. Davis and some sharp ex changes were anticipated, as all through the trial Mr. Davis had made him the target of many of his remarks. The examination was brief however, and devoid of Incident. Mr. Jacobs he did not draw up the bill of particulars, which Rhinelander admitted to be false in many of its representations, but that Judge Mills had done so. Mr. Jacobs said he got the facts from Rhinelander and told them to Judge Mills, who dictated the bill. Robert Brooks, a butler, and Negro brother in law of Rhinelander, was then called and proved to be one of the most modest witnesses in the case. He said that Mrs. Rhinelander introduced Rhineander to him and that he later saw him nearly every ALL WORK GUARANTEED. GIVE US A TRIAL. L. J.

Rhine lander never showed that he noticed Brooks's color, the witness said, or objected to it, and they soon began to call each other Leonard and Bob. Rhinelander came to his home for dinner, he testified and also played cards with him when some of Brooks friends were present. "All of my friends are colored," he said. This was in 1924, the year that Rhine lander married Alice Jones.

There are no warnings of its approach. One point, of which we are reasonably certain is, that the infection enters the system thru the breathing passages. During epidemics, the gargle and nasal douch should be used freely after all exposure, as a possible preventive. Contact with suspected cases should be scrupulously avoided if possible. Large or small public gatherings, where a dozen or more are coughing, are very dangerous, and traveling in over-heated trains that are usually crowded, often scatters millions of influenza germs. Weakness is the predominant symptom—indeed that may be the only diagnostic symtom. No other disease prostrates the victim so thoroughly from its moment of onset. There is nothing like this weakness. Sometimes there is fever—at other times none, or so little as to escape notice. Active delirium is common in febrile cases. It is in this stage that pueronia usually supervenes, if at all. Absolute rest in bed is imperative, and should be resorted to promptly. Alcohol in diluted form, has proven of inestimable value in the treatment of influenza, if its use is carried on until free sweating occurs. It appears to be antagonistic to the poison, and is useful in combatting the terrible weakness. It should only be used with the advice and observation of the physician. Many doubt the efficacy of vaccines, though I have found them of great value in my cases, and am never without them. Strict quarantine is a wise measure that should not be neglected in localities where influenza is prevalent. Good nursing is an essential upon which too much emphasis cannot be laid.

THE RICHMOND PLANET; RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page Practical Instructions In HOME SEWING By Ruth Wyeth Spears B C A In the small plan at the right I have shown the process of making the slot seams that are used to trim many of the more tailored costumes. To make this kind of seam you will need a stay strip of the material as shown at A. This strip should be cut as long as the seam is to be and about an inch and a half wide. The edges of the seam should be turned back and basted to the stay strip so that there is a narrow opening or slot between them. The stitching as shown at B and C is usually made about three-eights of an inch back from the edges. It is always best to press a seam of this kind both before and after it is stitched.

Whether the young people saw or not is a most point never to be NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "My friend," he panted, "I want you all to bear witness if I die that I died in the hope of saying life." Then, before anyone could stay him, he darted into the fiery chaos that was raging in the mill. Half a minute later Inspector Wragge arrived hot on the trail of the fugitive, to find himself the center of much incoherence. Kathleen, Norman, and Alf knew him for what he was, and from their eagerly preffered information he managed to gather the main threads into his capable hands. The eminent man whom he had just arrested for the murder of George Glenister preferred death by fire to death by a hempen rope. Wragge turned, to the groups around him on the bank of the millrace. Fabian Womersley and his crowd were staring like a pack of fools in the background, except the camera man, who, as the most intelligent of the lot, had gone for the doctor. John Grimes was stoooping over the inanimate form of Sir Dudley. Kathleen and Alf were standing at the detective's elbow, gazing into the inferno into which Mr. Colne had disappeared. "Hi, you, Grimes," said the inspector shortly. "I want a magistrate—to take your daughter's depositions. Where is the nearest?" The keeper replied that the doctor, who had already been sent for, was a magistrate. There was no other who could be more quickly got at. "Good," said Wragge, and he walked over and took a closer view of the unconscious baronet. His knowledge of first aid told him that Sir Dudley had been severely manhandled as well as badly burned. Kathleen had followed and tapped the inspector on the shoulder. "Don't lose sight of 'him,' she pleaded. "He has tried to murder Captain Shater and myself, which is clear proof that he killed my brother. You see that I was right all along, don't you? "A gleam of human sympathy, tinged with unwanted humor, flashed in Wragge's cold eyes. "That will be all right, miss," he said soothingly. "The poor beggar can't run away. It will be time enough to sort out the sheep from the goats in this business when we have all calmed down a bit. We shall have to compare notes, though I am sure that yours and the captain's have been the most trying experience of all." Norman objected to the tone of the remark. "Trying experience!" he exclaimed. "He has kept us prisoners, myself in hiding, and then did his best to burn us alive. You are never going to towash the acreundrel, Wragge in cardid. I have mistrusted your the Judge's Josh WITH CHILD LABOR LAWS AND WOMEN IN POLITICS THERE IS NOTHING FOR FATHER TO DO BUT GO TO WORK, PAUL ROBINSON handling of this case from the first. You have never really treated him as George Glenister's murderer. "You wait a little, sir." Wragg strove against the rising storm. "Miss Glenister's very natural desire for justice will be fully met, I pledge you my word. Have a little forbearance. You must see how I am pressed." Whether the young people saw it or not is a most point never to be decided. For at that moment the arrival of Hinkley, accompanied by the village constable and half a dozen farm laborers, caused a diversion. The old butter's joy at finding his beloved former mistress safe and sound was unbounded, and his concern at Sir Dudley's plight, as involving the honor of the family, was no less sincere. Mutual explanations had hardly been exchanged when the advent of the doctor relieved Wragge of his principal anxiety. Sir Dudley having been placed on a hurdle and dispatched to the Grange in charge of Hinkley, the detective took the doctor aside. "There is another patient for you in the keeper's cottage, sir, but you 22 "SIR DOWN, INSPECTOR, AND HAVE SOME SUPPER," SHE SAID GAYLY. are also needed in your magisterial capacity to take her depositions" if you think it necessary," said Wragge, introducing himself. "What's the beano—the skeleton finger case?" asked the genial practitioner shrewdly. Wragge nodded and turned to ascertain the intentions of the baronet's recent victim. Kathleen, hattens and disheveled, was equal to the occasion. "Hinkley will give us beds at the Grange," she replied. "And Captain Slater's servant, to whom we owe our lives, will come, too. I warn you, Inspector Wragge, that you will not get rid of me till my cousin is dead or in custody—yours or that of some more willing officer." Wragge saluted with profound respect. "I shall come up to the Grange with the doctor the moment we have finished here, miss," he said. "We have to see an accident case at the keeper's house, but we shall not be long." Mr. Fahlan Wommersley had marshaled his company and was already leading them across the dam to pick up their apparatus and make their way back to the cars. The director of the Amphibians in after life found a sad delight in boring companions at his favorite haunts with the story of what he had missed by Your Birthday Is it this week?

Leaving the ill-omened mill to burn itself out, Wragge and the doctor and Grimes walked across the clearing to the cottage. They were met on the threshold by Judith Grimes, gibbering like a frightened ape. "We were all wrong. John," she mouthed. "It wasn't George as ruined her, nor Sir Dudley as killed George. She'd told me all about it." They brushed the evil old woman aside and entered, the room where "the pet of the pictures," as she was fond of calling herself, still recalled upon the horsehair couch. But she had recovered from her first collapse. Her eyes were shining with some of their old careless impudence. "Cheer-oh, dad!" she cried on recognizing her father. "Cheer-oh, Mr. Tee! And cheer-oh, Doctor Wheatey! You remember me as a kiddy, don't you, doctor? You never thought you were vaccinating a cinema star when you pricked my poor little arm, did you?" The doctor made his examination and rose from it smiling. "No need for any depositions here," he said. "There are no bones broken. Nothing but a few bruises and a severe shock which will pass off in a day or two with proper attention." After giving instructions to the parents the doctor took Wraggie by the arm and together they left the cottage. "Poor Sally Grimes," said Doctor Wheatley as they struck out for the Grange. "She seems to have got her self mixed up in a queer coil which I do not profess to understand." "More sinned than sinning, perhaps," Wragge half admitted. "She was here tonight, with that film gang by chance, and she had nothing to do with Sir Dudley Glenister's attempt to kill his cousin and her lover by setting fire to the mill." Doctor Wheatley whistled. "I suppose that means," he said, "that Glenister murdered Miss Kathleen a brother—that the rumors about him were true? I never liked the fellow in common with most of his neighbors." "No, doctor," was the reply. "The case is a bit more complex than that. It wasn't the present barron yet killed George Glenister, and I very much doubt if the name of George Glenister's murderer will ever be given to the world. I promise you however, that you shall know within an hour or two. I expect Wragge added with a chuckle, "If I shall have to onlighten Miss Kateen Glenister before she goes to life if I am not to have my ears born and there is no reason why you should not be present. You mediate gentlemen can always be trusted keep a secret." On reaching the Grange they were received by Hakley with the new that Sir Dudley had been carried up to his bedroom and that he had regained consciousness. The doctor at once wilt up to him, and Wrague was shown into the dining room whose Katiebien and Norman were pertaining of a belated meal. Grassland was also seated at this having been invited to join them that he might recount his adventures. For some insurtable for nine reason 2 pleased Kathleen to be greeted to Wrague. "St it down, inspector, and have some success," said gaily. "Though is the first instance we own our lives to this a five fellow, you presence at the final shows that you were following the right clue. I should be interested to learn how you got bad of it." Wragge is a dawn and unfolded his napkin. "clue, miss?" he said drilly. "Oh, see what you meenu—the clue to you and Captain Slater being at the mill." "Well, that's the same thing as the oue to my brother's murderer," decied Kakalen with a touch of his old asperity. Fe Be Continae Birthday week?

After waitinpirt thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines and try be fore being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A. PAGE, Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE. Mr. L. J. Hayden. 224 West Broad Street. Richmond, Va I received your treatment O. K., and I have started to take it already for a few days, and it has already begun to improve my aliment so I am sending to you for one more bottle of medicine for the blood. I have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY. More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stewardesses and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War, and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving "he a. s. torrs of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his subliming self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
