NEW YORK, May 19.—Knicker-

Many names that

Among those with still are familiar are ths rtlandts, the Van Rensse-

Of these, the Rhinelanders most identified

the Rhinelander family fortunes have been tied up with real esIn all, the Rhinelander property amounts to about 200 parcels of land. But it is the care of this property with which the present Rhinelanders are concerned, and it is this land which keeps their name before the public. The dean of the family, Maj. T. J. Oakley Rhinelander, heads the firm which bears his name. Small, gray-haired and soft-spoken, he comes every day to the offices at 473 Fourth Ave. to sit the morning through in front of the old-fash-ioned rolltop desk that his father, Wiliiam- C. Rhinelander, used. In the afternoons he goes to another office at Duane and Rose Sts., built on the site of the old Rhinelander sugar house. Here he is surrounded by prints of early New York, a hobby of his. One of the original windows from the sugar house is mounted in the Major's downtown office. Another is on exhibition in the Van Courtlandt Manor Museum.

Built By Philip Jacob

The sugar house was built by the first Rhinelander, Philip Jacob, who came to America from Holland in 1686. Philip had one, piece of property to work with when he hung out his real estate shingle. It is an interesting. comment on the character of the Rhinelanders that they still own the original

there are his son, Philip Rhinelander; his brother, Maj. Philip Rhinelander and the brother's son, Philip Kip Rhinelander. William Rhinelander Stewart, though actively connected with the insurance end of the business also has a passive interest in the real estate branch. The Stewarts were much more social than the Rhinelanders and it is through them that the name has appeared so frequently on so-

Married to a Stewart

It all began when Mary Rogers Rhinelander, daughter of William | C. Rhinelander, married Lispenard Stewart. Like their parents they lived in the neighborhood of Wash- | ington Square. One of their sons was dignified William William Rhinelander Stewart, father of the present Will Stewart. Will Stewart and his sister. Anita de Braganza, were born in No. 17, next door to their Aunt Serena's home. That house, No. 14, now the Rhinelander apartments, was the first fashionable home on Washington Square. William C. Rhinelander, the elder, moved there in the early part of the 19th century to get away from the noise of the city. . The Stewarts also have left their | mark on Washington Square. It was because of William Rhinelander Stewart's love for the neighborhood that he financed the building of the Washington Arch. Had No Children Will Stewart has no children of his own either by his first or second marriage. His sister, Anita, who has been married only once, had two sons, Miguel and John, and

By Upited Press CHICAGO, May 19.—Delegates from 145 Junior Leagues attending their annual conference this week will vote Friday on issues involved in their participation in controversial issues, Miss Mary Louise Breen, Dayton, O. regional director, announced today. Miss Breen, Mrs. Josepin W. Seacrest, Lincoln, Neb., regional director, and a group of delegates analyzed the problems at a conference yesterday, and later presented a summary of their discussion to.the general group. Questions raised to guide delegates’ consideration,- Miss Breen said, were: What projects in your league would be touched by entrance into social—and political—legislation? Do you have an active legislative committee? What is the interest of the entire league in legislation? Miss Breen said the conferees believed unanimously they could not oid lobbying in support of a bill, Ne all present believed their legislative committees were not trained in politics, aware of “riders,” political devices and machinery in politics.
