vestige of doubt that there will bo an
extraordinary session of congress
called by President Taft to consider
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
In the now practically certain event of
the failure of that measure in the

when it became known that republican
loaders had been called to the white

republican senators after returning to
the capital.

Dallas , S. D 1,277

Coming under the federal census
wire neck and neck , Dallas and Greg
ory continue the rivalry which has ex

There are probably no two towns In

of the efforts of the Rev. J. A. Me-

his paintings must be either "draped
or removed" by today , he hired an
artist andi put him to work. The re
suit was startling.

her attendants wear suits of rainbow
varieties. The man in the painting
appears in a convict garb , wearing a

Another valuable work , "The Awak
ening of Adam , " has been "done over'
so that Eve wears a suit of blue pa
jamas and Adam a pair of overalls

NOTED WRITER CAUGHT

FRENCH GIRL.
New York , March 2. William Eng
lish Walling , socialist and writer , tes
tified in his own defense at a night
continuance of the day's session of
the hearing of the $100,000 breach of
promise suit brought against him by
Annette Bertha Grunshan. He testi
fied that he llrst met the plaintiff on
the Champs Elysee In Paris In June ,
1905.
"I was walking with a friend , " Wall
ing said , "and we saw two young wo
men walking along. I said to one , 'My
friend thinks ho knows you. '
"We talked about the we/ Parisian
men wet and talked witr women on
the s'reets at night. Finally we took
a cab to an amusement place a cheap
sort of Coney Island. "
"What took place in the cab ? " ho
was asked.
"The same sort of talk about the
streets of Paris. She put her head on
my shoulder on the way home. "
Walling said he met Miss Grunshan
again in a few days and that they be
came quite friendly on the third meet
ing.
ing.They
They were together frequently after
that. He denied giving her a ring or
any token of engagement.
"Towards the end of June she told
me she could llvo nicely on 200 francs
a month , and If I would give her that
she would not work , " Walling contin
ued. "On Juno 30 there were mas
sacres in Russia and I wanted to know
what was going on. It was decided
that she should go along , as she had
brothers there from whom she had
not heard for several months.
"I went to the embassy and got the
passport for myself and wife. They
asked me if I was married and I
found myself getting into deep water.
I h-ald yes , and they asked my wife's
name. I said 'Anna 13erte. " "
Walling testified that he and Miss
Grunshan also lived together in Berlin
and in Switzerland. There was no
talk of matrimony. There was a set
tlement , Walling declared , when they
separated. He thought It was "a very
square deal. "
Three foreign attorneys were
brought into the rase yesterday to explain
plain European breach of promise
suits. They said that courts In their .
countries looked with disfavor on such
suits.
,
Counsel for the dofen.se contended
.
that If Miss Grunahan's action would
not bo maintained in French , German
and Russian courts , her suit should
not bo entertained here.
Their next meeting Walling tosti- j
, fled was In Paris , in Juno 1906. Wall-
ing's ( lance , Miss Strunsky , to whom
ho paid he had shown Miss Grunslmn'a
letters , was with him. There was n
scene and Miss Grunshan cried and
said slu > was going to diown herself.
"Hid you over deceive her In any
way ? " asked hla counsel.
" 1 don't think anything I ever said
or did ever deceived her for live min
utes , " Walling answered. "I think
she understood perfectly all our rela-
lions at the time we wore together. "
