The claims of Mrs. Alma Little of this city to white parentage, which were disputed in a cross-bill filed by her husband in a divorce suit, are slowly being sub stantiated by letters from cities throughout the country. Her husband. a Detroit physician, has charged that his wife is a negro by birth and in an effort to remove the! stain Mrs. Little has sought the aid of scientists at the University of Michigan, who have been unabler to help: ber. The secretary of the Wayne Medical association, a prominent; physician, wrote to her Fuggesting thai she write Arthur Reeve, author of the Craig Kennedy 'Scientific Detective" no tion. In one of Mr. Reeve's stories he dealt with a rase similar to Mrsf. Lit tle and solves the problem by the use of a crystalline blood tes. ; A Michigan psychologist has suggested that Pro fessor Hugo Munsterherg should be presented with a hypothetical ques tion deafing with the circumstances of Mrs. Littles childhood, which, briefly, are these: . ! A baby of six weeks, she was taken into a Wade family, negroes, in Cincinnati, and raised under the tute lage of these African foster parents until she was 17 years old. The theory is that byj toich foster parentage one must absorb certain traits and characteristics of older per sons. One more hope held out! to Mrs. Lit tle, who, by the way, is a pronounced blonde, is Professor Frank Boas, an thropologist of the American Museum of Natural Hitory of New York, who in a telegram stated that be had at his command means of determining defi nitely whether Mrs. Little Is negro or Caucasian. - I New Pastor Given Hearty Eeception Sev.
