IN GAY PAREE'S net
WILLIAM ENGLISH WALLiNG
TELLS OF "AFFAIR" WITH
FRENCH GIRL.

New York, March 2.-William Eng.
lish Walling, socialist and writer, tes-
titled in his own defense at night
continuance of the days session OF
the hearing of the 100000 breach of
promise suit brought against him by
Annette Bertha Grunshan. He testi-
fled that he first met the plaintiff on
the Champs Elysee in Paris in June,
1905.
81 was walking with friend" Wall
ing said, land we saw two young wo-
men walking along. | said to one, My
friend thinks he knows you
1--WE talked about the veg Partisan
men ret and talked witt women on
the streets at night Finally we took
a cab to an amusement place-a cheap
sort of Coney Island"
What took place in the cab?" he
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 few days and that they be-
came quite friendly on the third meet
ing.
They were together frequently after
that. He denied giving her ring or
any token Of engagement.
Towards the end of June she told
me she could live nicely on 200 francs
she would not work." Walling contin
ued. "On June 80 there were mas
sacres in Russia and | wanted to know
what was going on. 1t was decided
that she should go along, as she had
! brothers there from whom she had
not heard for several months.
81 went to the embassy and got the
passport for myself and wife. They
asked me if | was married and
! found myself getting into deep water
| said yes, and they asked my wife's
name. / said Anna Berte.'"
Walling testified that he and Miss
Grunshan also lived together in Berlin
| and in Switzerland. There was nc
talk of matrimony. There was a set
tlement, Walling declared, when they
separated. He thought it was "a very
| square deal"
Three foreign attorneys Wee
brought into the case yesterday to eX
plain European breach Of promise
suits. They said that courts in theil
countries looked with disfavor on such
suits.
Counsel for the defense contended
that if Miss Grunshan's action would
not be maintained in French, German
and Russian courts. her suit should
not be entertained here.
Their next meeting Walling testi
fled was in Paris, in June 1906. Wall
ing's fiance, Miss Strunsky, to whom
he said he had shown Miss Grunshan'i
letters, was with him. There was f;
scene and Miss Grunshan cried ant
said she was going TO drown herself
Did you ever deceive her in any
way? asked his counsel
Il don't think anything ever SAT-
or did ever deceived her for five min
utcs," Walling answered, Il thinl
she understood perfectly all our rela
tons at the time we were together"

UNCLE SAM MUST SOLVE IT
Peace in Honduras Seems impossible
and v. S. Must Take Hand.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, March 2.
The threatened ultimatum from
General Bonilla, the leader of the rev.
olution, was not presented when the
peace conference between Dr. Me-
bruno and General Rosales, the repre-
sentative of President Davilla, was
resumed on board the U. S. cruiser
Tacoma today. 1t had been said that
unless an agreement was reached yes
terday Bonilla would declare the ar
mistice off and renew hostilities.
An amicable agreement now ap-
pears impossible and probably it will
be necessary for the United States to
settle the trouble by appointing pro-
visional president of Honduras.

TALKED OF IN CONGRESS.
TO PASS CANADIAN AGREEMENT
New Democratic House Is Expected to
Pass Bill Quickly and Senate Is Elk.
peeted Not to Delay More Than a
Month-To Drop McCall's Name.

Washington, March 2. - The last
vestige Of doubt that there will be 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
present congress, disappeared today
when 1t became known that republican
leaders had been called to the white
house for conference.
THE die Is cast" said one OF the
republican senators after returning to
the capitol.
Mr.. Taft has decided that there
must be an extraordinary session and
that he will call 1t earlier than April
f."
Democratic leaders wanted a month
in which to get ready for a special ses-
sion, and President Taft was inclined
to accede to their wishes. 1t became
known today, however, that the repub-
iicans have urged an earlier gather
ing II there was no way to avoid CON-
ing back.
March 20 Date Talked Of.
Mr.. Taft would be guided, it was
said, by the wishes Of the republicans.
1t was announced that conference
would be held on the subject probably
Nonda' to decide upon date. March
20 was the date talked about today.
There was feeling of confidence
among friends Of the Canadian agree.
ment that the democratic house would
pass the bill within week after the
converting of the special session.
McCaIl's Name to Come Of.
1t was suggested that Representa-.
ave McCall's name would not be car.
Fied on the bill, but that some demo-
crat on the new committee on ways
and means would claim the right to
charge of the floor.
There was impression also that the
senate would not delay action for
more than a month.
Why They'll Hurry.
This theory was based on the argu
nsnt that the republican senate would
expedite business so as to be ready to
Aliourn before the democrats submit
general program for tariff revision
and the hope that under such a condi
teon of affairs the democrats would be
willing to postpone their tariff revi
sSon plans until next winter, wher
tAey would be better prepared to pro
