WAlLlNG'S DEFENCE OPENS
Hard Hit by Ruling That Will Bar
Testimony Against Plaintiff.

The defence opened yesterday In the
breach Of promise suit Miss Annette
Bertha Grunspan has brought against
William English Waling for 100000 dam
ages Several of the defendants witnesses
were examined before Justice Giegerich,
but it did not seem that Mr.. Waling' 5
side made much of a start
Miss Grunspan. who on Monday went
into Mysteries while under cross-examina-
tion intended. as il seemed, TO cast re-
fections on her character, was again on
the stand for a time yesterday and had
fully recovered her composure. Counsel
for the defence asked her about her ac-
quaintance with several persons. one OF
them Morris Angel She said she knew
| him.
Is there any reason why Mr. Angel
should say anything against you?' asked
counsel for Walling Miss Grunspan re-
piled guardedly, mo, if he is a friend. II
he Is an enemy. yes. No friend will come
here and say had words against a little
girl like me. but IL he is an enemy he
certainly will" Mr.. Fuchs looked dissp-
pointed.
Angel was the first witness for Wallng,
and before his examination had gone far
Justice Giegerich made q ruling that is
likely 10 shut out much Of the testimony
that the defence has relied upon to impeach
the character Of Miss Grunspan. The
ruling was that the testimony could he
introduced only for the purpose Of con-
tradicting evidence given by the plaintiff.
Angel testified 10 meeting Miss Grunspan
and Of her telling him that rich leather
manufacturer wanted TO support her
Mrs. Annie Klehman. who was ianitor
of house where the plaintiff lived. said
that the family with whom she lived had
been ordered 10 move. But. said the wit
ness. she never saw Miss Grunspan do
ANYTHING that called for reproach.

Jerome Harnesses Whitman.

Mr. Jerome's plan at such times was ap-
parently TO force the prosecution TO eX-
haust the twenty peremptory challenges
allowed to each side under the law and to
save his own. District Attorney Whit
man objected to such tactics. out OF fair
ness to the defendant he didn't want to
take as a juror a man with an avowed
prejudice, Mr.. Whitman SAID. but he did
not want to he forced to Use up his per.
emptory challenges. Justice Seabury final
" took matters into his OWE hands and
excused a talesman for prejudice without
leaving IL to either side to challenge
In doing so Justice SeabIry said: "The
court excuses the talesman because II
would be eminently unfair to the defend
ant TO allow this gentleman TO take a seat
in the jury box In his present state OF
mind"
The jury. as completed yesterday. is as
follows:
J. Goodwin Mcdonald, an accountant. of
No. 1923 Lexington avenue, foreman; Robert

Numerous Other Fights.

Stones and clubs were hurled, heads
smashed. noses broken and other wounds
inflicted by the participants in various
fights. A clash occurred at Division and
Crosby streets on the outskirts OF the
Goose Alley" district. Wild scenes were
enacted: but the police got there too late
to catch the fighters. This ward is the
home Of the Black Hand and has a large
Italian vote.
Barrels, hogsheads, and the reserve tanks
were tapped for to-day's primaries. From
them there poured forth such golden
stream as was never before known in
Chicago at an election, much less for the
nomination. While the lavish distribu-
tions for watchers at the polls on behalf
of the Democratic Mayoralty candidates
made the Republican outlay meagre in
comparison, the Republican aspirants were
not without funds. most noticeably for the
benefit Of John r. Thompson.

Dr. Robinovitch played large part in

black veil and scrutnized each talesman

SPENDS MORE MONEY
Harvard Beaten In Amount Used Dur.
ing Year in Athletics.

< rE II -
Cambridge, Mass, March 14.-A
comparison of the cost of athletics at
Yale and Harvard shows that Yale
spends about a third more every year
than Harvard on each of it's big ath-
letic teams. ~
1t cost the Cambridge university
$127,945 to run athletics last year, or
about $425 a day for the ten months
through which the college lasts. The
football expenditures were approx
mately $4,000, an average of about
$1,000 a man to the squad of thirty
one players. Track athletics cost
$4,000; baseball 1000, and rowing
$15,5OO.
At Yale the appropriation for foot
ball was $4,000. It meant for
every man who got into ''champion-
ship" game, as the contests with Har-
ward and Princeton are called, $4,000
was expended.
On baseball Yale put out a total
of $4,000, while track athletics cost
$13,50O. Rowing is practically a
fiat financial loss, since no admission
can be charged and more than $780,
900 is appropriated every year for
it at New Haven
