one short year. Inundated before her
society friends, Mrs Alma Boone Lit
tie, wife of Arthur Little, son of a
wealthy physician here, flung this
question into the face of SCIENCE!

ogy," replied Dean Vaughn Of the
University of Michigan and Prof.
E. E. Case land we think you free

Crushed, Mrs. Little returned to
take up the battle anew!
Today all Detroit = from slum

."And the woman without a race"
cast from the surroundings upon
which she had gained so firm a foot

yers, trying to prove that she has
no negro blood IN her veins, while
her husband goes about the regular
routine of BUSINESS.
The romance of the fashionable
Titles goes back to the time when
Alma Boone, bundle wrapper In a
Seattle department store, fell in. love
with Arthur Little, then q humble

But the story of this woman's life,
fraught with a hundred stirring cir

Quilted love to degradation, overbal-
ances in its thrilling details the mere
romance of Arthur Little and his
wife!

says she was born, and the Juvenile
Protective association Of that city
has headed a movement to help Mrs.
Little prove her case when it comes
up this spring.
But the inner details of this amaz-
ing expose of a Woman's soul will be
told in Mrs. LittIe's own words, pre-
pared especially for this newspaper.
Two months ago it came out that
Mr.. Little declined to live with his q
wife any longer When pressed for
an explanation, she says, his law
yer offered her $50, in the name of :
Mr.. Little, If she would go quietly
out of her husbands life" z
When pressed for specific reason
it was claimed that Mrs. Little had
been sending money to a negress in .
Cincinnati. When Mrs Little began )
action against her husband for her
rights as his wife, the charge was
made that Mrs. Little was tainted !
with eolored blood"
Mrs. Little, who claims George and /
Florence Boone as her parents, says
that her mother died when she was
six weeks old and that she was cared
for by a colored woman by the name
of LueIIa Wade, who had been the
midwife in attendance of her mother :
at her birth. Z
In this connection she has the sup v
port of Judge o. N. Hilton of Denver, :,
chief counsel for the Western Fed

Dir. James Smith, a musician of
Denver; Mrs. Mary Cody Decker, sis ,

Alexander Myers, a travelling man
of Denver, says that he knows Mrs.

ENTHUSIASM MARKS CLOSING RALLY OF HENDERSON FORCES Eloquent Speakers Predict the Burial of Corners
 Hopes In Primary
 Tomorrow
CANDIDATE GIVEN
 GREAT RECEPTION
Friends Assert Henderson Made One of Best Speeches of the Entire Campaign Last
 Night

Peace, prosperity and business ef- fciency were the keynotes of the sev- eral speeches made at the final rally of the Henderson forces held last night at the Jefferson theatre.
 The audience, which filled the lower and second floors of the theatre, was very enthusiastic, and each of the speak CTS received marked attention. Quite n number of ladies were present and at times Joined in the applause. On the stage were about 200 leaders of the Hen derson forces, which included represent alive citizens from every walk of life.
 That the audience was decidedly anti Conner" was evidenced by the applause that followed every reference to the elimination of Comerism from the po- 1itical arena of the state. The ex-gov- ernor's political record and the record of his administration were among the matters discussed by the speakers, and every adverse criticism of MT. Conner was received with shouts and applause.
 While all the speeches were able, tho interest centered around that of Charles Henderson, and last night he rose to the occasion and his friends claim made one of the best speeches of the campaign. MT. Henderson stated that he had been compelled to ''strlke back" on account of the attacks of the Conner campaign committee and declared that the state ment of the committee that be had a ''slush' fund at his disposal was "a will fnl and malicious slander" He said that MT. Conner made family affair of his late administration and that the state paid the bills.
 Kolb Given Ovation
 Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, who was one of the speakers, received an ovation when he was introduced that was seor- ond only to that accorded Mr HenIer- son. In his speech he referredy to the Pratt letter which has been ysed as a campaign document by the Conner cam paign committee and declared that sany candidate who would use a private and personal letter addressed to a third party was not fit for the office of con stable of tiie lowest precinct of the state and nos worthy of the votes of decent men for the office of governor
 -<fne meeting was presided over by for mer Gov. w. D. Jelks, who made the ini- tial speech and introduced the several speakers. Lloyd Tate Of Fillmore county not only proved a great speaker but a great mimic as well. His imitation of MT Conner was great and provoked much laughter and applause. E. H. Hill made a splendid speech, in which he exposed" the Conner administration.
 Richard V. Evans, chairman of the Hen derson campaign committee, called the meeting to order at the conclusion of selection by Nappi's orchestra. He stated that the magnificent audience assembled showed concusively that the people of the Birmingham district were vtally in- terested in good government and the fu-

 The impression among most military men and nearly all residents of the capital is that the world will not have long 70 wait for the final chapter in the strug- gle between Huerta and his enemies Several of the diplomatic corps, headed by the Spanish minister are reported to have called on President Huerta few days ago and to have urged him not to subject the city to d bombardment, but to lead his troops outside and there make his stand. Huerta, according to this re port, protested, but the Spanish minister to have insisted that unless he consented the minister would demand his passports. Huerta finally agreed. but reserved the right to retreat to the capital

 Many who have lived in the capital are convinced that Huerta will not attempt to leave, at least until after he has made a iast desperate effort They credit the report that he intends the destruction of the city before his departure explaining that the man is so obsessed with the idea that he Is the only one capable of directing the government that he has become irresponsible They regard Mexico City as place which will soon be as dangerous for Mexicans as for for eigners.

PISTOL FELL OUT OF POCKET WHILE SHOOTING OVER IN CHANGING SWITCH.

J. W. Jenkins, aged 9 years. eonduc- tor on the Vivian car line, was mortally wounded yesterday afternoon about 5:40 o'clock at Avenue B and Thirty-ffth street, Wylam, when his 3S calbre Colt pistol fell out of his pocket and exploded, sending bullet crashing through his heart and lungs and coming out of his back. Jenkins is at the Birmingham infirmary in a comatose condition and is expected to die before morning.
 According to Dr. W. B. Fonzile of Ems ley, the accident happened when Con- ductor Jenkins went to turn a switch. It appears that he had his pistol in his hip pocket and that in his efforts to turn the switch it became dislodged and fell to the ground and exploded. There were
