I Baron Gone. Also Brother-in-Law: Trv to Find "Em Polish King Returns $500 Kur' Coat; Employes Want Sal aries; $3,200 Account. Proves to Be $32. This Is the tule of the furniture polish factory and the German haron. Now the factory proprietor is gone and the haron vanished. Anna Retains and three other wo men complained to the welfare hoard against Charles E. Cummings, de claring he hired them to sell the pol ish from house lo house at $16 a week and commission, but that when they sought pay at the end of the first week, he was gone. The board is in vestigating. Fur {'oat Returned. Cummings had sought credit st various stores, stating he had an ac count of $3,200 in an Omaha bank, f Th« account proved to be $32. Ho entered one large store with his wife and bought a $500 fur coat for his wife and an $18 hat for himaelf, taking the merchandise with him. When the credit manager returned from lunch, he rqade a quick trip to the Cummings home, demanded part payment, and when this was not forthcoming, took back the coat and hat. Enter, the Baron Hans Von Ring hausen, of Berlin.' Let Him Tell If. Not always had Cummings been in pf the drab furniture polish business. He had been a hero in those- stirring days when America was engaged in mak ing the world safe for. democracy, lie bad been a flyer with the Foreign l.egion and one day he shot down a German airman near IJijon, France. All this Mr. Cummings told the newspapers one day last week when he came in to bring a little item about the forthcoming marriage of his sister, Mrs. Bertha M. Wendell. She was going to marry the haron, whom her brother shot down that day at Dijon! The baron was due in Omaha in a few days and then the war romance would culminate and the baron, having given up his big interests at the Krupp plant in Ger many, was going to settle right down here in Omaha and help Omaha grow and perhaps even be a member of the Rotary club. How did the baron meet Mrs. Ber tha Wendell? ^ All Omaha Thrills. Why, she was a heroine, too, a Red Croas nurse, stationed right there with her brother near Dijon. And so when Mr. Cummings shot down Baron Hans von Rlnghausen he took him right to his sister and asked her to nurse him back to health. Which, like a good sister, she did. All Omaha thrilled to the romance and stood ready to receive the haron and sell him a nice home and sin rerely hoped he would in time become a member of the. Ad-Sell league and Chamber of Commerce. The war was over. Reporters went to the Cummings home at 82!) South Fifty-nfth street, which they had rented two weeks be fore. Mrs. Cummings, a woman of apparent culture, mentioned the train on which the haron would arrive last Thursday evening, but said she pre ferred to have the bride tell the de tails of the wedding. Carrying Suitcases. Three men were there, one of them looking German, but he would say nothing. The next day the house was vacat ed. Neighbors said they saw Mr. and Mrs. Cummings leave late In the eve ning, carrying suitcases. | By this time the t’niversal News service had thrilled to the internation al romance. It had made inquiry in Germany as to the titles and estates of the haron. It reported that there was no Baron Hans Von Rlnghausen listed In the German aristocracy. No Surli Number. A young man who chauffeured Cummings about the city to the ex tent of $36 is seeking payment. He climbed into a window at the de serted home on South Fifty-fifth street and found a note giving 168!) South Normandie avenue, Dos Angeles as a forwarding address. It is reported there is no surh number. The chauffeur said he saw Cum mings telegraph $100 to Los Angeles one day. As to the heralded marriage, no proof of it was found here. No license was issued to the haron and his fi ancee in Onrahu or Council Bluffs, Try lo Find ’Em. No German aristocrat has settled down to grow with growing Omaha. Letters for Mr. Cummings are at the postoffice. nnealled for, from Kansas City, Detroit, St. Joseph and Chicago. And Mrs. Ida Levin of the Welfare board I" trying to find someone to pay off women agents of the furnl tore polish establishment.

Leon R. Jacobs, who acted as Kip's attorney In fi^ng the annul ment action, made the following statement this evening: "No other persons are concerned in this action but my client. I have been his personal attorney ever since he became of age. The suit is brought by him." Fraud Alleged. The complaint, as filed by the at torney, stripped of its legal verbi age, alleges: That the marriage took place on October 14, in New Rochelle, N. Y. That Rhinelander's consent to the ceremony was obtained by fraud because Alice Beatrice Jones informed him that she was white, and not colored, and had no col ored hlood. That after the marriage Kip found this to be wholly untrue, and that at the time Miss oJr^es made her alleged false declaration she knew it to he false. That she intended to deceive and defraudi%oung Rhinelander. And that "plaintiff and defend ant have not at any time before the commencement of this action, with full knowledge by the plain tiff of the facts constituting the said fraud, voluntarily cohabited as man and wife.” Dream Is Shattered. For these various reasons, the complaint concludes, young Rhine lander asks that the marriage con tract be declared void, and prays the court for such other and fur ther relief as the court may deem fit, together with the fosts and dis bursements of the action. The complaint is signed by Jacobs as attorney for the plaintiff. This action shatters the dream of a girl who, according to her friends, had gone through her short life ever striving to keep the secret of her negro blood. Mrs. Rhinelander said tonight that she would fight for her hus band. "They stole him from me and in fluenced his mind,” she sobbed. She has retained Samuel T. Swinburne of New Rochelle to fight the annulment suit. Swin burne tonight would not comment on what answer he would file to the complaint, but said it would be ready In two or three days. Alice Faints. After the suit was filed Kip' and two men went to the Jones home in New Rochelle where they found Alice. The encounter between the bride and the groom was graphically de scribed by a witness. Kip knocked on the back door and with Ills two attendants at his heels, entered the kitchen and went up to Alice. kissed her on the cheek. As Alice opened her arms, one of the attendants thrust dupli cates of the complaint into her hand. The pair then drew Kip away and conducted him to the waiting automobile. In the midst of the bedlam of comment by the Jones family Alice quietly slipped to the floor in a dead faint. ifS.
