Furriers Report On Picket Line.
The fur market today was scene
of one Of the most enthusiastic dem
onstrations ever carried through by
the union. Thousands of workers re-
sponded to the call of the Industrial
Union and carried through picket
ing demonstration which showed in
no indefinite terms where the fur
riers stand.
The threat of the Stetsky-Kauf-
man clique to send out their gorillas
on the market proved an empty
boast. In face of the thousands of
workers who came out in support of
the dogskin strikers. the gorillas were
afraid to show their faces.
A huge demonstration and open
air meeting was held at noon hour.
In line with the statement Of Mat

Senator Foote, of Vermont.

Later her father became Com
missioner of Patents here. Her
introduction to Senator Hender-
son, then one of the most famous
political figures here, was fol-
lowed by their marriage June 25,
1868.
Senator Henderson had risen
to fame by his espousal of the
Union cause in Missouri in the
civil war. He became nationally
known as the author OF the
Thirteenth Constitutional Amend
ment, abolishing slavery.
But Mr.. Henderson's political
career was ruined when he cast
the deciding vote against the i'm

months ago by litigation.
No Reconciliation
But George Edelin,, Washington
counsel for Mrs. Henderson, to-
day positively denied that any
reconciliation had been brought
about. Mrs. WhOIean had been in
attendance upon Mrs. Henderson
during her last illness, it was said,
but the breach which Mrs.
WhOIean opened by her court &C
tiOn was not healed.
Mrs. Wholean had for many
years been accepted as the grand
daughter of Mrs. Henderson, but
when the former few months
ago sought through the courts to
prevent Mrs. Henderson from dis
posing of certain property, the
older woman revealed that Mrs.
Wholean had simply been
adopted.
The revelations resulting from
the court action merely climaxed
a life which had kept Mrs. Hen
derson upon the front pages of
newspapers here and abroad.
Ruled Social Life
For a generation Mrs. Hender-
son had ruled local society, being
aided for decades in that task by
two other famous widows, both of
whom have passed on in the last
few yearS-MrS. Richard T. Town

here to lay the basis Of the bril-
liant social career in the next
20 years.
Thirty years ago Mrs. Hender-
son conceived the project of max
ing Sixteenth Street-then lined
with shacks and tumbledown
houses-the most ornate boulevard
of any world capital and the zone
near Henderson Castle the diplo-
matte quarter of Washington.
Diplomatic Hostess
She turned all her social ell
ergies and graces toward the
establishment Of the street. Am
bassadors and Ministers were
dined - but not wined - and
courted at her home, and the
attractions of Diplomatic Hill

In 1926, Mrs. Henderson Of
fered a $1,000,0o0 tract near her
home to the Government as a
site for a National Gallery OF
Art.
Although her career was Soc
tally brilliant, Mrs. Henderson
gave evidence of extreme pro-
priety. She was vegetarian,
and an ardent foe Of liquor and
tobacco.

WHOLEAN FIGHT.
ST|RS SOCIETY

The controversy with her adopted
gran d daughter, Mrs. Beatrice
Wholean. which darkened the last
days of Mrs. John B. Henderson's s
life, had its inception in the dow
ayers second effort to establish
a residence for the Vice Presi-
dents of the United States.
This had been Mrs. Hender-
sons long g-cherished plan, and sew
eral years ago her effort TO do
nate a Sixteenth Street mansion
for this EurpOse was blocked when
the Government found it had no
funds for the upkeep of Vice
Presidents home.
Undaunted, Mrs. Henderson
early this year rendered the Gov
ernment a 30-room house at 2437
Fifteenth Street N. w. for this
purpose.
Mrs. WhOlean Acts
It was then that Mrs. Wholean
acted. On February 2 she en-
tered suit in the District Supreme
Court seeking to restrain Mrs.
Henderson from dispoSing of the
property. Mrs. Wholean had been
adopted in a secret proceeding by
Mrs. Henderson in 1924.
It had been generally believed
that Mrs. Wholean was the
daughter of John B. Henderson,
jr., Mrs. Henderson's son, and
his wife. But after Mrs. Wholean
in February had entered her suit,
Mrs. Henderson repudiated 'Trix-
ie," declared her to be a found
ling, and asked the court to set
aside the adoption. Musty pa
pers which figured in the adop-
ton we're dug out of the court
records and unsealed.
Mrs. Wholean asked the court
to dismiss the suit to void the
adoption. The grand old dame
of Sixteenth Street won this first
step in the legal battle, however,
when the court held that she
had q right to proceed with the
suit.
AS a result of the struggle Mrs.
Henderson was said to have re-
written her will, striking Mrs
Wholean's name from the docu-
ment.
Effect Of the death of Mrs,
Henderson on the two pending
suits could not be determined to.
day. Attorneys refused to predict
what disposition would be made
of the suit of Mrs. Henderson to
void the adoption.
It was considered likely that
Mrs. Wholean's suit, which, in ef
feet, would have placed a guardian
over the Henderson property
would be dropped. Whether the
adoption suit would be dropped
would depend upon the admins
traitors of Mrs. Henderson's estate
or upon her blood relatives.

The death of Mrs. John Brooks
Henderson, widow Of the late
senator from Missouri, marks the
passing of a social era in Wash
ington and the disappearance OF
one of the Capitals famous
arbiters of modes and manners.
Into the turreted, brownstone
castle of Norman pattern on Six
teenth st. N. W., Mrs. Henderson
for 40 years, gathered the elite
and influential of two continents.
Dominating official and diplo-
matte society, this redoubtable
woman became not only a fash
ionable hostess and patron of the
arts. but also a potent influence
in civic life here, particularly in
the upbuilding Of the Sixteenth
Street area.
Bids Much Sought
After invitations to her ball
room soirees had been the most
coveted social distinction for a
generation, advancing age forced
Mrs. Henderson to withdraw
from social life, only to turn her
talents with unremitting vigor
into the fields Of social reform
and civic progress.
Born in New York, July 81,
1874, Mary N. Foote was the
daughter of Judge and Mrs,

in America.

the only woman who truthfully
could claim to have been person

dents and their wives, beginning

AS the elimination of a life
time of activity Mrs. Henderson
tried to give the Government a
home for its Vice Presidents. It
was the second effort she made
along this line which brought the
split between her and Mrs.
Wholean.

Mrs. Henderson went to Bar Har.

ago she was stricken with apo

she fingered, and last night she
