Woman Sues John B. Henderson for
Breach of Promise

Bangor, Me-, April THE second
trial of one of the greatest breach OF
promise suits ever heard in New
England opened before Justice Bird
in the Supreme Court, here yester.
day. The plaintiff is Miss Elizabeth
Garmong, of Bangor, who asks $780,.
900 against John B. Henderson, Wash
ington writer, clubman, and multi
millionaire.
In January, 1915, also in Bangor
Miss Garmong was awarded a verdict
against Henderson Of $4,000. This
the law court set aside.
Miss Garmong claims that her re-
nance with Henderson, beginning
near Washington in 1909, continued
for many months in several cities
that he gave her money and cared
for her when her child was born; and
finally, that he made two explicit pro.
misses of marriage, which he failed to
keep.
The defense will be that SO far from
there being any romance, the ac-
quaintance was platonic-almost casu-
al-and that no promise of marriage
was ever made.

SAUNDERS IN DEMAND
Often Presides in House of Repre-.
sentatives During Consideration
of Important Matters

7 Washington, D. C. April 7-Con-
nressman E. w. Saunders, Of Vir.
ginia, is in great demand as pre-
siding eificer in the House OF Rep
rcsentatives, chiefly due to the fact
that he is recognized as the most
expert parliamentarian in that body.
He presided as chairman of the
House during the consideration OF the
immigration bill, which occupied
about ten days. Chairman Burnett,
of the immigration Committee, made
the special request to Speaker Clark
that Mr.. Saunders he detailed.
1t is probable he will preside over
the House during the consideration
of the military appropriation bill,
which will provide money to carry
out the scheme for preparedness
adopted by the House some weeks
ago. Congressman Hay, of Virginia,
chairman of the Military Affairs Com
mittee, has made special request OF
Speaker Clark for Mr. Saunders SER
vices. Saunders has presided during
consideration of Mr.. Hays bill for
several years.
Several other chairmen have asked
Speaker Clark to have Mr.. Saunders
occupy the chair during consideration
of their bills, but it is doubtful that
the Speaker will be able to comply
because it might have the appearance
of favoritism. 1t is considered high
honor to preside throughout the whole
consideration Of one of the big legls.
lative measures.
Mr. Saunders is chairman of the
Democratic caucus and in this Ca
pacity issues calls for caucus to &c.

sides over deliberations of those Sc

REGAIN CARRIE WOODS
BY Furious Night Assaults German
Invaders Force Their Way to Foot
hold in Haucourt.

Not only have the Germans beer
engaged in heavy fighting with the
French around Verdun, but they have
launched strong attack against the
new British positions near St. Eloi,
which lies q few miles south of Ypres
in an endeayor to regain 600 yards OF
trench which the British won from
them ten days ago. The fighting
around St. Eloi proceeded throughout
yesterday, and had not terminated
when the latest British official state
ment was issued.
There have been gains on both Ger
man and French sides. The Germans
captured the village Of Haucourt.
which lies in the Avocourt-Bethin.
court sector. to the northwest Of Yer
dun. This is considered by the Ger
mans as an important strategic point
for while the French held it the Ger
mans could not cross the FORCES brook.
Of this operation the French War
Office says series of attacks, in
which large numbers of men took
part, followed bombardment Of ex-
treme violence. These attacks were
checked by the French fire, but one
more furious than the others, launch
led atythe center against the village Of
Haucourt, resulted in Germans gain
lrg d foothold, sin spite Of repeated
checks and bloody sacrifices.
The French claim that this village
is dominated by the French guns.
On their side the French forces
carried large section of the position
worth of Avocount known as
Bois Carre, and in severe hand to-
hand fighting south of Fort Douau-
mont drove the Germans back through
their underground passages for dis
tance of 200 meters along front OF
500 meters. They succeeded also by
their curtain of fire in prevailing
their curtain of fire in preventing an
assault on. the Cote-du-P -Poiyre, to the
east of the Meusc, which the Germans
had subjected to a long and intense
bombardment.
The French War Office officially an
nounces that during the month of
March total of thirty-five German
acroplanes were destroyed, and that
the French aerial losses amounted to
only thirteen aeroplanes. This is
doubtless in reply to the German state
ment recently issued to the effect
that in March the British and French
lost forty-four aeroplanes, while the
Germans lost only fourteen.

princess has declared herself more

If Manuel does not carry out his
plan to enter. the British army it will
be only on his mothers advice not to

question is if Manuel has the choice
of remaining married. now that his
