manuel in which Italy is cal
upon to live up to her OBJ : y
tions under the triple av s .ce.
To the italian foreign = fee,
Germany has insists that
France was the aggressor in
the war now in progress and
that Italy is bound to aid Ger
many in defense of her honor.
"Italy must either be with
us or against u.s." the kaiser
lis reported to have declared to
Chancellor Won Bethmann
Hollewege.
King Victor Emmanuel and
his advisors have taken the
stand that as the triple alli-
ance is for defensive purposes
only, Italy is not bound to aid
Germany and Austria. Furth-
ier, they have declared, Austria
violated the terms Of the al
lance by not informing Italy
Iof the measures contemplated
against Servia. The alliance
provides that one country
shall not act without the
consent and knowledge of the
other two. Not knowing of the
demand for reprisals made up
on Servia, Italy was not able
to arrange for the protection
of certain interests which
would suffer had the country
entered into war. For these
reasons Italy has declared she
will observe the strictest neu-
trality.

SEEK BETTER CITY
Plan to End Reign of Political
Corruption That Resulted in :
110 indictments.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. Sion
the last day of a year marked by
charges of election corruption, rioting
and bloodshed at the polls and cli-
NAKED by Interference on a grand
scale by the United States District
Court, citizens of this city today
pledged themselves to cleanse Terre
Haute of it's blackened name. This
resolve was stiffened by the knowi-
edge that from the mayor down the
city administration was under Fed
eral indictment for conspiracy TO de-
fraud the United States government
at the polls and that Vigo county's
Judge and sheriff were similarly in
dicted. In all ,110 Terre Haute men
have been arrested on that charge.
Those connected with the city gov
ernment who are under Federal in
dictment include Donne NJ. Roberts,
who has announced himself as a can
didate for governor at the Demo-
cratic primaries; Harry Montgomery,
president of the Board of Works;
George e. Herenhardt, OF the Board
of Works. Elmer Z. Talbot, city
comptroller; Edward Holler, chief OF
police; John Nugent, former night
chief; Thomas Smith, judge of the
City Court; policemen and other en-
ployes of the city.

WILSON To SPEAK
IN OWN DEFENSE
At INDIANAPO
Viii Answer Criticism of His
Foreign Policy on jan
uary 8.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-President
Wilson decided definitely today to go
to Indianapolis January to speak at
Jackson day celebration under the
auspices Of the Indiana Democratic
Club. He will be accompanied by
Senator Kern. The President will
leave Washington shortly after I
O'Clock next Thursday evening to ar
rive in Indianapolis shortly after / ..
m. the next day. He will go to Sena-
tor Kern's home and meet a num-
Der Of prominent Indiana Democrats,
speak at a public meeting at o'clock
in the afternoon and leave for Wash
ington the same night.
The President will speak out boldly
in defense Of his administration and
will seek to clear up many misappre-
tensions that have arisen. 1t will
mark the beginning Of new policy
a policy which probably will contem-
plate the delivery Of several other
speeches in various parts of the coun-
try. Those who are acquainted with
the Presidents state Of mind say he
believes the time has come for him
to speak out. Many persons. It Is
said, will regard his Indianapolis
speech as the beginning of his CAM
paign for denomination.
The President is said TO be pro-
voked over what he regards as unjust
criticism of his administration and
will accept the Indianapolis invita-
ton as a good opportunity to clear
the political atmosphere
While the exact nature Of his ad-
dress is not known, 1t is thought sig
nificant that 1t Is to be delivered in
Indianapolis, a "hotbed' of German
American criticism Of the administra-
tion's alleged inclination to favor the
allies in the war. These critics have
not taken kindly to the suggestion
that supplies have gone freely from
this country to the allies.
The administration attitude Is
that there has been no partiality in
tended or exercised, but that Ger
many's unfortunate position of isola-
ton has prevented supplies reaching
her. It would not surprise those ac-
Quainted with the situation II the
President spoke freely regarding the
European crisis.

Mona McAdoo Martin, one year old,

has seen but once before, and the
other her grandmother by marriage.
President Wilson's youngest daugh-
ter whom she never had met.
On their arrival here Secretary and
Mrs McAdoo asked that no formal

that they might spend their few
hours here in a family reunion. They
are on their way to San Diego, where
Secretary McAdoo will represent the

WOMAN PROVES
SHE'S NO NEGRESS
Foster-Mother and Doctors Aid
Mrs. Little Fight Hus-
bands Charges.

DETROIT, Dec 31--Ars Alma
Boone Little, who has gained coun-
try-wide attention by asking proml-
nent scientists the question:: Am
white or a negress?" today returned
from Cincinnati, where she went in
search of proofs that she was free
! from negro blood. With her she
brought an affidavit, which was
signed by Luella jefferson, q negress,
foster mother of Mrs. Little.
The affidavit states that Alma f.
Boone, when six weeks old, was
placed in the care Of the negress, In
1886, in Denver; that the childs par
ents were George and Florence
Boone, both of pure-blooded white
parentage; that the father of Alma
Boone died prior to the birth of the
child that Alma E. Boone is now
twenty-eight years of age, and that
her mother died when Alma was
about six weeks of age.
About October / last, the affidavit
continues, a man who represented
himself to be ]. L. Crandel, and said
he lived in Denver, called on the
negress at her home, together with
Walter NJ. Beinhart, Cincinnati at
torney. Crandel is said to have told
had died in Denver and left an es-
tate OF $4,000 to herself and her
children. He asked her for the fam
lily pictures, which he obtained and
took away.
Crandel then told her, the affidavit
says, that she must sign an afttdaVit
setting out the names Of her children
and that she gave the name of Alma
Z. (Mrs. Little) as one of the chill
dren, because she wanted Alma to
share with the other children in tbs
estate.
The affidavit, 1t is claimed, was OBJ
tained from Mrs. Jefferson by mis-
representations of Crandel, and as
not for the purpose for which he
represented 1t to be.
Mrs. Little, according to DIR. Arthur
Windsor, a prominent Ontario physi-
clan, today passed test which he
claims beyond q doubt proves the
woman has no negro blood in her
veins. It is a test which DR.. Windsor
on many occasions in his thirteen
years practice in Southern States
made to determine racial ancestors
of persons brought to him. 1t is OBJ
tanned by a pressure of a finger on
the tip of a subjects nose where there
Is what is known as the alar cartilage
In the colored race this cartilage is
blunt and solid, while In whites 1t is
separated so that two distinct foN
nations can be felt. Mrs. Ltties
nose, according to this test, Is Of eau
casian formation.
Among Southern planters this test
is considered infallible, but whether
1t has ever been recognized by medi-
cal authorities as final, DIR. Windsor
cannot say.
