London, Feb. lady Constance

experience in Walton prison, Liver

Lady Constance believed that dur
ing her previous incarceration she
was treated with greater clemency
than other sufflagists martyrs of low
er rank, and she assumed the alias
at the cost of what suffering the fol-

"In spite of the first-hand accounts

reality surpassed all had anticipat-

strangled and suffocated by the
thrusting down of large rubber
tube, which arouses great irritation in
the throat and nausea in the stomach.
The anguish and effort of stretching

observations SO far are not exact
enough to determine whether its
course is elliptical or parabolic.
Whirls Around the Sun.
If its course is elliptical it goes of
on Its long journey around an elongat-
ed course through the skies, and when
1t has gone around to the other end
of the ellipse it comes back again
along the other side. and once more
makes its giddy whirlwind around
the sun. If its orbit is parabolic the
further part of the course stretches
away SO far from the sun that the
comet. having come from nowhere and
passed around the sun, goes off again
into the region of which even astro-
nomers know nothing, and SO be-
copes lost to us, probably forever. It
eventually gets entirely beyond the
limits of our solar system in the in.
finite beyond.
The Glasgow observatory has made
observations similar to those which
Prof. PICKERING reports to have been
made by Prof. Wright of the Lick OBJ
servatory, with the addition of a hy-
dracarbon band. The occurrence Of
dorsodium lines observed by Profess
sor Wright recalls Wells comet and
the great comet of. 1882, in which
Copeland and Lohse observed the
same lines intensely bright. due, ac-
cording to Copeland to the near ap-
proach of the comet to the sun.

DEFENSE
The Sensational Court Martial
Verdict Is Now Being Sc.
cretly Considered

Boston. Feb. 4.-Chivalry was the
defense which the counsel for Pay
master George p. Auld offered today
: in his argument before the naval
court martial, when he asked for the
, discharge of the young officer, ac-
cused in three counts, in connection
with an alteration with DIR. E. S
Cowles of Boston. over Miss Dorothy
Hesler of Evanston. Ill.
Maj. F.. S. Catlin, the Judge advo.
cate. asked for finding Of guilty on
two of the three counts; first, for con-
duct unbecoming an officer and gen.
tleman. and, second for assault on DR.
Cowles. civilian. The third count
that of falsehood, was eliminated.
The court heard arguments at q
tWo-hour session, Major Leonard, who
is one-armed hero of the siege of
Pekin. speaking for an hour and q
halt in behalf of Mr.. Auld, while
Major Ctalin occupied less than fif-
teen minutes. Then the court took
the matter into secret session and
only the navy department at Wash
ington can publish its findings.
DIR. A. S. Robnett. who was coupled
with Paymaster Auld in the origina!
charges, will be tried on Monday, but
none of the evidence produced at the
Auld trial can be used in his trial.
Major Catlin claimed that it had
ben shown that Mr.. Auld had as
stunned authority which he did not
have.
Major Leonard dwelt upon the fact
that Miss Hesler, around whom the
scontest seems to have centered,. was
the daughter of his fathers comrade
He claimed that DIR. Cowles should
not have kept l,er picture or tried to
make an appointment with her, and
that it was chivalrous act on the
part Of any naval officer to protect
her. Such. he considered, was the
action of MIR. Auld

NEW BIBLE STORY
Negro Race Sprang From Brother q
:. Adam. 80.

st. Louis, Feb. 4.-That the negro
did not get his color from Ham and
that he is not even a member of the
race of Adam, but a descendant of
one of the four or five brothers Adam
must have had, is the belief of the
Rev. DR.. Edwin H. Richards, for thir-
ty years a missionary in Uganda,
Africa. DR.. Richards is attending the
laymen's evangelical convention,
which began four day session here
last night with banquet for the
1000 delegates.
The negro never came from Ham.
You can't get black man from a
white one, either by time, or condi-
tions," said DR.. Richards today. 1.-The
black man is co-adamic with Adam.
Adam probably had about four broth
ers, the bible does not mention and
1t was one of these brothers that the
negro must have descended"

London, Feb. 4.-Outside of politics
the recently discovered daylight comet
has been the chief topic of the. week
in England. 1t appears that the name
of brakes comet" by which it has
been generally known here. was given
by mistake, owing to telephone er-
ror, and it now goes by the name OF
the daylight or sunset comet.
Its appearance is reported to have
caused extreme terror among the Rus
sian peasants, who regard it as the
precursor either of a great war in the
far east or of the end of the world.
Warnings have been issued as to the
effect it is likely to- have upon the
populations of North Africa and In
dia, but so far there is no record Of
its having been seen there.
Opportunities for Observation.
British astronomers in numbers
and at least one American, Miss Mary
Proctor, who is now making lecture
tour in Scotland, have had excellent
opportunities for observation. Its tail
is estimated to be 100000 miles in
length and its speed nearly 100000
miles an hour. Mr.. Crommelin, of
the Greenwich observatory, describes
it as the brightest comet seen since
1888. 1t has very conspicuous tail,
with a distinct dark streak running
through the middle similar to the
comet Of 1874. while as in the case
of the great comet Of 1875 Its curva-
ture is on small scale.
Apparently it is about one-twenty-
fourth of the earth's distance, or
something under 100000 miles from
the sun. Its path is concave to the
sun. and its orbit has been described
by Sir Robert Ball as narrow and in
the shape of a hairpin. The comet
will coon cease to be visible in Eng
land.

observatory. thinks this particular
comet has not been seen before, and
may never be seen again. although

NEGRO MUROERESS
WAS ARRESTED
.t.sz
Colored Woman. Whom Police
Have Long Looked For Is
Found

winnipeg, FeO. An allegeQ muir
deress, a colored woman, for whom
the police of Bloomington, ILL.,, have
been searching since last December,
was arrested in Winnipeg yesterday
in a house on Martha street, where
she is said to have been in hiding for
the past month. The arrest was eff
fected by Detective Fraser of st. Paul,
who arrived in the city yesterday
morning, following definite informa-
tion which had been secured in the
south some days ago. On arrival here
he enlisted the aid of the city police,
who went with him and went through
the formality of making the arrest.
The woman is known in Bloomington
as Mrs. Nlollie Booker, but her real
name is said to be Elinora Brown.
She is also known under the alias of
Ruth Gordon.
Valves Extradition Proceedings.
When located, the woman at once
admitted her identity and on arrival
at the police station consented to go
south with the American officer with
out any extradition formalities. She
was taken from the city on the $500
Great Northern train. She is de-
scribed as large woman, about
five feet nine inches in height, .and
weighing about 1S0 pounds. She is a
half caste negress. showing plainly
her half Comanche Indian blood. De-
tective Fraser stated that, in his be-
lief she had been smuggled into Win
nipeg by c0lored porters.
The Case.
Bloomington, ILL.,. Feb. Airs.
Mollie Booker. colored, arrested in
Winnipeg, is wanted here to explain
certain mysterious circumstances in
with the death of her hus-
band, Mckinley Becker. The latter.
who was prosperous waiter and
owned considerable property, was
found dead last December. under cir
cumstances that indicated 4 murder.
At the time suspicion was allayed by
the widow. who insisted that her hus-
band had killed himself. She said he
had been suffering from periods of de-
preston, and had threatened to end
his life. and this theory was finally
accepted by the authorities.
VluOW UepAFtSs
Soon thereafter. however, the
widow collected the life insurance on
her husband and departed with such
haste that suspicious were again
and the insurance companies
and local authorities instituted a gen.
eral search for her which led through
various western states. after fruitless
trips to the south, where it was sup
posed she would naturally go. She
will be formally charged with murder
ing her husband, the purpose being
to inherit his life insurance and other
property. The authorities said last
night they had no evidence that she
had an accomplice or that there was
any other motive than greed. There
was no indicatisn at the time of Nc
Kinley Boeker's death that the rela-
lions between himself and wife were
not harmonious.
