GIRL SCREAMS IN RAGE MISS GRCNSPAX PRODCCES EVI DENCE OF MARRIAGE. After Furious Scene, Passports In Which She Is Called Mrs. Walling- Are Admitted. NEW YORK, Feb. 27. MIa Annette Berth Orunspan, the pretty young Russian who la suing William English Walling-, th wealthy Socialist, for tlOO.000 for alleged breach of promise, collapsed on the witness stand today. Unnerved by a sever cross-examtna-tlon, Mls Orunspan denounced Wait ing's counsel, and after screaming; that he had treated her harshly, she col lapsed and waa carried to an anteroem. Miss Grunspan's mother rushed toward th counsel table, where Wall ing and his wife were seated, but she waa prevented by court officer from reaching; the table. It was late In th afternoon before the plaintiff made her reappearance on th witness stand, still showing th effects of the ordeal of the morning. The moat substantial evidence aup portlng her allegation that the defend ant had promised to marry her was then introduced by her lawyer In the form of certified coplea of passports for entry Into Russia, and made out in the name of William English Walling and "hla wife, eAnna Bertbe." , To ob tain th originals, said th lawyer. Walling had to awear that Anna Berthe Walling waa his wife. Miss Grunspan's demeanor on the stand In the afternoon waa cool and less demonstrative than In the morn ing.

JONES DISCUSSES' TOPIC Washington Man Approves Souther land Amendment to Original Resolution Bonrne Approves, Mentioning Oregon Plan. WASHINGTON. D. C, Feb. 27. Sena tor Rayner began today the delivery of a set speech on the subject of election of Senators by direct rote. An amendment of the constitution to permit the election of Senators by direct vote of the people would be the "greatest political reform accomplished .by the present generation," declared Rayner. He told th Senate that he would sup port the resolution providing for such an amendment notwithstanding the ac ceptance of the Sutherland amendment. "I am so strongly in favor of election of Senators by the people that I cannot possibly turn the proposition down be cause It contains a provision that prob ably might give rise to trouble in the future." he said. "We wilt be prepared to meet tha trouble if it should ever come." Maryland Senator Emphatic. After further argument the Maryland Senator said that if the people have not the Intelligence or the capacity to select their representative, then It would be better to submit a constitutional amend ment to chance the form of government from a republic to a monarchy. Following Mr. Rayner; Senator Bacon, of Georgia, contended that It was not safe to adopt the elections resolution with the Sutherland amendment en grafted upon It. Mr. Bncon suld the Government would, under the resolution as amended, be em powered to say who might go upon the voters' registration lists. This, he urtred, would be a dangerous power In view of the conditions that obtain in many sec tions of the country Admitting the South Is especially In terested In the control of elections now, the Senator contended th time might come when the question would be Just as acute In other sections of the coun' try. For Instance, tha "yellow peril" might assert Itself In the West in con nection with the exercise of the fran chise. Improbable as this may seem now. It could not 1 any more so than was th prospect of negro suffrage In 186. Jones Urges Adoption. Congratulating the Senate on the ac ceptance of the Sutherland amendment. Senator Jones, of Washington; urged the adoption of the resolution. He said the only proposition before Congresa was to submit the oueition of popular elec tion to the Stat Legislatures, which In turn must pass on the real question. To these Legislature may be left the privilege of deciding the merits of tha oroDosltlon. and in view of the popular demand he did not see how Congress could well refuse to give them this op portunity. He did not believe that Sen ators had a right to withstand these pe titions. To do so was to assume the position of despots. He indicated that if not granted now. the demand lor popumr vote would grow stronger and stronger until the change would come through a new conatltutlonal coftventlon. Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, supported the resolution on the ground that Cona-ress could not afford to with hold from the Stat Legislatures the right to pass on the question. Senator Bourne, of Oregon, spoke In favor of th resolution. Mr. Bourne epoke of the elecUon and primary sys tem of his state, known as the Oregon plan, which he declared to be real gov ernment by the people.

Lone 5Ian Sends Porter Away on Fake Message, Tben Makes At tack on F. V. Staubsandt. An attempt to rob a saloon at Second end Madison streets between 8 and 10 o'clork last night failed only because the lone robber lost his courage and bolted when a vicious blow which he aimed at the proprietor, V. W. Staub sandt. failed to render the latter un conscious. The man who attempted the deed, an affable young fellow about 27 years of ajre. entered the saloon and engased the porter, Charles Kunkel, in conversation, ending by purchasing the later a drink and inducing hlra to depart on a faka errand to the Esmond Hotel on promts of 25 cents reward. As soon as the porter was safely out of the way the young man threw the remnants of his beer in the proprietor's face and hit him over the head with some Instrument, the nature- of which Is unknown to Staubsandt, fleeing hastily when the saloonmnn arose to hi feet and prepared to offer resistance. Charles Kunkel, the porter, is being held at the station for Investigation on a charge of being drunk. The police suspect that he may have "framed" the holdup with the would-be rohher.
