WOMAN CHAMELEON
BLACK, THEN WHITE

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. l1.-Mrs.
America Massey. Of this city. appar-
emily Is undergoing a third change
from white to black. She is a negress
by birth, having been born a slave in
Bowling Green, Ky. in 1649. and nv-
ing there till 1896, when she came to
Indiana In 1854 she began to turn
white. and in two years the trans
formation was complete.
BY 1883 she was black again, the
return to her original color being
more rapid than the change from
black to white. Shortly after this she
began to change again, and soon be-
came as white as the whites by whom
she was surrounded. but early in the
nineties she again turned dark.
When she came here, in 1896, she
was becoming white very rapidly, and
the transformation has remained till
within the past few days, when two
dark spots appeared on one side of
her face and one on the other side.
She recognized these as the forerun-
ner Of another change. She says the
changes have brought her no Iiscom-
fort whatever, save slight itching SEN
sations. which never are of long dura-
ton She is inc perfect health. and
says she IS ready for the coming
transformation, whenever II occurs,
as she does not care what color she is.

necessarily attendant upon there being

labor, and confusion that has arisen.
resultant from the dispute as to wheth-
Ct Swisher and Scherr, the two gubor-
material candidates. shall have the
same Republican electors on their
tickets.
In addition to these things. it has
been suggested here that the Dem
ocrats would not gain strength in the
State by their platform declaration for
Jim Crow cars and the Acknowledgement
Of the negro. but this Is denied by the
West VirEtnians. They point out that
the Democratic program simply insures
that every colored man will vote for
TAFT, and as the coIored vote is large,
the Republican ticket viii gain
strength from the Democrats war on
the blacks.
Labor Real Trouble.
But the labor dissatisfaction and the
party decentralization are real troubles,

which will be held here for the next

SWsher and Senator EIkins already
here, ana Senator Scott expected to-
night. il is evident that no stone will be
LETT unturned, no political resources
disregarded, in the campaign to keep
West Virginia IN the Republican fold.
UnquestiOnably the greatest problem
is the dissatisfaction among tia labor
eTs, and all energies will be COncen-
trated on winning them back. Much
money is needed for this fight. and one
thing Hitchcock will be asked while
here is 10 allow an unusually large
sum for the West Virginia campaign.
Swisher Confident.
c. w. Swisher, the regular candidate
for governor, said today:
THE Democratic war on the negro in
West Virginia not only strengthens US
there. but IL also serves as a national
blessing. II will do the party immense
good in such states as Ohio and Indiana,
where there has been talk of negroes
voting for Bryan. All we needed was
the West Virginia demonstration that
the Democratic party is the political
tomb Of the negro"
