NEW YORK. Sept. 25. (Special Tele
gram ) William English Walling, million
lira. author. socialist and settlement
worker, husband of Anna Strunsky. the
noted Russian authoress, will summon to
the supreme court Miss Anna Bertha Oruns
pan, a French girl, to compel her to tell
where, aa she allege. Walling promised to
marry her. Walling Is a grandson of Wil
liam II. Engllnh of Indiana, who once ran
for vice president. Walling says he will
prove to the court before trial that the
young woman's claim of JIOO.OOO damages is
without basis. He says he will exhibit a
large bundle of letters which Mls urunspan
penned to him while they were simply good
friends.
The letters arc in French and show.
Waiting's attorney says, that Walling never
intended to make Miss Urunspan hla wife,
but 011 the contrary, If there was any
thought at all about wedding bells, they
originated In the mind of the plaintiff.
' According to Miss Urunspan's complaint,
young Walling was engaged to her at the
time of his marriage to the Russian author
ess. She says the engagement was made
'n France.
Met la rarla.
Walling says he met Miss Urunspan In
Paris five years ago and befriended her.
when she came to him and begged him to
Intercede for her brother, who had been
i rested aa a revolutionist in St. Petersburg.
It was because he succeeded in freeing him,
Walllng'a lawyer says, that Miss Urunspan
became infatuated with the millionaire.
When he married Miss Strunsky, the young
Frenchwoman followed him to this country
and brought ault for 1100,000 for alleged
; breach of promise.
Motion for the examination of the plain
tiff before trial will be made within a few
Jaya.
It la nald that an Interesting bundle of
Uttera will be produced In the court when
Ihe case is called. Extracts from letter

In a letter written July 13, 1906, she says;

NEW YORK. Sept. (Special Tele
gram.) Holy rood Episcopal church Is
badly rent by the demand of the women of
the congregation for equal suffrage in the
parish, and by the refusal of the rector to
give them either votes or a voice In the
government of the church.
For months Mrs. E. Shepherd, a promi
nent member of the flock, has been argu
ing that since the women are really more
closely allied to the church work of th
parish than the men, they should be given
a vote, not only In the selection of pastors,
but in the expenditure of funds.
Rev. Stuart Crockett, the rector, differs
with Mrs. Shepherd, contending the church
should be run by men as It always has
been, and despite the efforts of the women
under Mrs. Shepherd, he has been a bin to
oust the old officers and place In office
wardens and vestrymen who are all antl
sut'fi agists and are expected to turn down
every proposition that even looks like
"votes for women." '
In consequence, It Is said, the trouble
has come to the unfortunate point where
many j arlshloners, once the best of friends,
are now very ceol when they pass each
other on the street.
Meanwhile Mrs. Shepherd has by no
means given up the fight. She claims a
majority of the wives and daughters of the
parish are behind her, and she Is so deter
mined to win "votes for women" at Holy
rood that even the peacemaker whom
Bishop Greer sent tip there In the person
of Archdeacon Nelson has been so far un
able to set the matter right.
Mrs. Shepherd says nothing will settle It
but a victory for her side.
Hector Crockett, content In his present
victory, has nothing to say at all.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2n.-(Special Tele
gramsTrouble in the building trades,
which has been imminent for some months,
has reached the stage where a disastrous
fight between employers and men may be

The action which has brought matters to
a head was the distribution of a letter to

ing the 200 members of that body not to
employ bricklayers affiliated with unlona
which have upheld the Bricklayers, Masons

fight will then be drawn and the fate of
probably more than 100,000 building trades
workers for the Immediate future will be
settled.
The action of the employers, according
to President Conover, Is predicated on the
proposition that In calling a strike on the

PARIS, Sept. 25. (Special Cablegram.)
Senator Nelson W. Aldrich talked freely
of the political situation In the United
States when seen by a correspondent, en
route to southern Italy.
"I am on my way to Alx Les Haines for
rest and recuperation. And I will not
have and have not now any Interest In
politics whatsoever," he said, when asked
his opinion on the strength shown by the
Insurgents In the recent primaries.
"You are more of a business politician
than a practical politician," It was sug
gested, and he replied:
"It Is strange, isn't It, that there is
only one popular conception of a patriot
and a man who loves his country and la
useful to It? What of the men who en
large their country's commerce, who make
prosperous cities grow, making for
progress, wealth and all the benefactions
of Industry where poverty -rlcken vil
lages were before? Oannot men who in
vest, who give brain and care to progress
and development of the city that makes
ti.e state, or atatea that make the nation,
be aa loyal and aa parlotlc and as great
In their nation and as Interested In Its
real and substantial welfare as the veriest
demagogue that ever ranted In public or
in print?"
Coat of Living World-Wide.
When asked about the cost of living In
its relation to the tariff. Mr. Aldrich said:
"That has been answered often. In
creased coat of living is not a problem
peculiar to the United States alone. It
Is world wide, and la being agitated In
Germany, France and England. It is
doubtless due to the fact that everybody
desires to have better food and clothes
and other things than what formerly con
tented the various classes.
"Goods sold cheaper abroad than at
home has caused the question In all conn
tries. It is due to the fact that aU manu
facturers in all countries would rather sell
cheaper abroad upon occasions than to ac
cumulate atock at homo and have to aflut ;
down their plants.
"Germans complain of German goods
aold cheaper in Rio Janeiro than in Ber
lin, and the French, of silks sold cheaper
In Algiers than In Lyons, where they are
woven,
"The fact Is simple anu plain that under
a protective tariff the United States has
become great, powerful and prosperous.
1 hold no brief for anything or anybody
except that fact and that is all I care to
say.

"The first woman aviator of New York,"

HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 26.-(Speclal Tele
gi am.) Fire late this afternoon totally
destroyed thet First Presbyterian church,
the costliest church building in Hastings.
The fire cost the life of F. W. Raney, a
volunteer fireman, who was killed toy a
falling wall,". Mr. Raney was the. father, of
William Raney," Voider of a Rhodes'' schdl
arship, who was to have started for Ox
ford tomorrow morning.
F. W. Raney was working with others
long after the fire had been discovered
and was standing near the west wall of
the building when it fell at 7:30 p. m.
The clHirch building, with equipment in
cluding a $3,500 pipe organ, represented an
Investment of $49,000 and was Insured for
about $18,000. The flames were discovered
at S o'clock by Organist Reea while he was
rehearsing for the evening program. Smoke
was then coming from the basement. De
spite the best efforts of the firemen and
of many volunteers the fire spread rapidly,
and within an hour everything was burned
except the corner tower.
The trustees met tonight to arrange for
temporary quarters and a movement to re
build probably will be started at once. The
building was erected In
Some of the church officers believe tho
fire started from escaping gas. It has
been reported that a noise like an explosion
was heard In the basement about 1 o'clock
and the fire may have smouldered since
that time.
HERE WOMEN GET RIGHTS
Widows and Maiden, of Maine Town
Are tilnd to Bevel In Slnsrle
Blessedness.
NORWAY. Me.. Sept. 25.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) In one place In the United States
at least widows and maiden women are in
favor. Nor is there talk of tax. on bache
lors. One hundred of the largest and most
tender herring Is the annuity offered to all
the widows residing within the confines of
the town of Pembrooke.
It Is a time-honored custom and its origin
Is beyond recall of the oldest inhabitant's
memory. But the custom is faithfully
obeyed and t the end of the year's run
about fifty women claim their share.
The weirs are town property and tho law
providing that 10.000 herring be taken from
each season's catch and returned to the
lake is rigidly observed. But whoever of
the I.sTiO residents of the two towns may
find himself deprived of his share, the
widows are certain of obtaining theirs.
John Le Farge is in charge of the fish
ing and he sees to it that every house
holder gets all the herring he Is entitled
to, always with an eye to It that no widow
Is overlooked on the extra hundred.
"It is pot charity." he tays. "The way
we look at it is that large, tender herring
Is about the best the town can offer w.tu
out chaise, and In the old days, it must
have been quite a help to a woman wliosa
husband died to have such a quantity of
eve:- ready food on hand. Tho custom it
honored and no one cares to break it."
