AMEND WILL NOT DECIDE
Says Court of Appeals Should
Pass on Last Reapportionment.

Justice Amend dismissed yesterday the
retition of the several citizens who have
brought proceedings TO set aside the last
state reapportionment by the Legislature

The decision OF the court was merely pro

too great importance for a single judge in
a special part to decide
He said the sooner tho Court of Appeals
could hear the case. in which he found
there was some merit. the better. 1t is
likely that the case will reach the Appel
late Division of the Supreme Court in
about two weeks and the highest court in
about six weeks. as II has precedence over
all others.

thoress. after his alleged promise TO marry
Miss Grunspan. He made n general denial
Of her charges. Miss Grunspan. comely
Russian woman of twentythree, was on
the stand yesterday. and told circum-
stsntial story Of her meeting with Walling.
She was seventeen. she said when she
first met him in Paris. where she was liv-
ing with her mother and Walling made
his promise of marriage. which he re-
peated several times and in several coun-
tries Of Europe, 10 which she accompanied
him.

Of a broken heart. IL this man had not
acted as If he thought woman's love and
her all-sacrifclng affection were toys for

Miss Grunspan testified that her first
meeting with Waling in Paris was by
chance. He was with a friend. and intro
duced himself TO her. He said his friend

said Miss Grunspan, but he persisted"
Miss Grunspan talked through an inter
prefer. sometimes in French. particularly
in telling of her conversations with WALL
ing. because that was the language in
which she conversed with Walling, and at
other times she told her story in German.
She said Walling showed great interest
in her from the start and wanted her To
take him 10 the home Of her mother. MISS
Grunspan said she demurred. telling MN
she was living in modest quarters. ana
when her mother and she moved, as they
then planned. she would introduce him al
home. They met and dined the next day.

Many Walk Across Bridqe.

The traffic became congested at the
Brooklyn end of the bridge. Two thousand
would-be passengers waited until their pa
tience was exhausted and then walked to
the city in the exhilarating atmosphere that
maintains on the bridge on such a morning.
Surface and elevated lines all over the
city were crippled by the storm. Commits
soner Edwards said that the work of the
surface lines under contract with the city
to clean up the streets on which they run
was during the last storm peculiarly un-
satisfactory Yesterday he sent a letter
10 all of them, reminding them OF Section
4ls of the Code OF Ordinances, providing
for the removal of snow from their tracks.
The letter said
II shall expect YOU to perform your
agreement strictly, so that this department
and its contractors will not he hampered

company TO do its share. as has happened
too often during the recent snowstorms Of

the requirements of the general railroad
law and the ordinances Hereunder, that

The department has received suggestions
that it would be we'll for its men to pile

sioner does not think much of it, the ex-
pertinent will be made to-day IN 51th street

5lst street, between Fifth avenue and

BASIS FOR MEXICAN PEACE
Rebels Stop Fighting and Diaz
Grant Reforms, It Is Said.

Paris. Feb 20.--In a review of the crisis
tn Mexico made to-day for The Associated
Press, Jose Ives Limantour, Minister Of
Finance in the Cabinet of President Diaz.
declared that the only basis for peace was
that the insurgents lay down their arms
pending negotiations with the government
which on its part should grant a reform of
the evils that made the revolution possible.
The only alternative that he foresaw was
the probability of a long. wasting struggle

are no match for the cowboy insurgents"

feudal system in Mexico must 20. and the
great estates in the North which have been

tributed among the people.

country, lis for the revoutionsta to lay

VIII the dignity and honor of Mexico per-
init pourparlers with the insurgents, who
have endangered both the security and the
credit of the nation
The Minister makes three suggestions:
First, the abuses communicating local ad-
rinistrations, as in the cities and towns,
which have the greatest grievances, should
he Immediately abolished. Second. some
means should be found to allow the people
TO share more extensively In the holdings
OF land. The vast estates in Northern
Mexico. which have been handed down
from generation TO generation by indi-
vidUalS. should he divided and distributed
among the people. Mexico has worn out
tie feudal system. which is a relic Of the
days Of Cortez," he said.
In the third place there Is opposition

has been too long in office. and that new
blood is needed 10 direct the affairs OF the
republic. But" added the Minister, "Diaz

Should the insurgents fail TO adopt his
suggestion TO return 20 their homes pending

formation Of guerilla bands by the govern

Although the snow fell thickly it offered
no great inconvenience TO traffic about the
