HUGH SUTHERLAND
CASTLEBAR, County Mayo, Ire
land, July 8, 1909. — I am going to
descri-be an Irish eviction. It
took place the day after I landed
In the country to report upon the won
derful progress made during the last
seven years in reforming the atrocious
land laws.
The scene I shall describe is quite
out of harmony with the purposes of
ths tour." Seven years ago I suf
ficiently exploded the evils and cruel
ties of the system, and its purpose now
.is to show Americans how great a
cl'.ange for the better has been
wrought. But this eviction, a rather
shocking greeting to an optimistic in
quirer, demands a place in the story
for the very reason that it is shocking.
- I do not think there have been half
a dozen forcible evictions in Ireland
[since 1 was here in 1902. When one
recalls the wholesale evictions of 60
} ears ago and of the days of the sav
age lajtd war, when families literally
b.y thousands were dragged out of their
cottage homes and flung into the
ditches to starve, one realizes that, this
exceptional affair, of the other day Is
a sign of hope, for its general con
demnation is testimony that the bar
barous custom is extinguished forever,
in the present instance I shall not
\u2666\u25a0nter into the merits of the case which
furnishes the unusual example. In
deed, from inquiries made I judge that ;
it would be a nice decision which |
should say whether justice was with
the landlord or the tenant.
Resisted the Sheriff
The scene was the farmhouse of
Richard J. Walsh, near Kilmurry, a
short distance from Castle island, in
the county of Kerry. As It lies only a
couple of hours' drive from Killarney,
quite a number of spectators .were
from the shores of the beautiful lakes.
Walsh and his landlord, a Dublin man,
have been at odds for many months.
Settlement being , found impossible,
there was an attempt at eviction a few
weeks ago. But .when the sheriff and ,
his bailiffs arrived to serve their writ
they found the place fortified, and their
summons was greeted with scorn. Tbis
having been reported, and renewed ne
gotiations having proved useless,' "the
might of the British government was ,
invoked.
The American, with his quick resent
ment of anything approaching militar
ism. may be interested to know that
the subjection of this farmhouse, in
habited by one fanner and his bedrid
den mother, S3 years old, called. for not
only the local members of the Royal j
Irish constabulary, but drafts f rom |
Kerry, Limerick and Dublin., A whole!
company of these armed military po- j
lice, with their officers, was .brought l
from the capital, 200 miles away.
It may be remarked that the defend- j
crs were determined to make the. trip ]
worth while. Fourteen neighbors of!
Walsh volunteered to .garrison the
house, and the defense they put up
vas regarded by connoisseurs in evic- :
tions as one of the ablest and most
stubborn on record. Earring the fact
that firearms were not «ised on either
Fide, the contest was as serious and as ',
brutal as any incident of war.
Parliament Member Present.
Tbe constabulary, drafted into
Castle island Monday, were under com
mand of Assistant Inspector, General
Ball of Dublin, one of the ablest, and
most fearless of the officers. He moved
his forces Hke an alert military com
mander.. At 3 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. In a driving rain, the eheriff, the
bailiffs and their armed escort of 250 :

preceded < and followed the military,
some on foot and some in jaunting cars.
On one of the vehicles that sped'along
the wet lanes was Joseph Murphy, M.
P., who had hastened over from Lon
don in the nig-ht to witness the diffi
culties of one of his constituents.
It was hardlj' daylight, owing to the

ANNA STRUNSKY'S
HUSBAND IS SUED
William English Walling De
fendant in Breach of Promise
Action by French Woman
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
NEW YORK, July 26.— William Eng
lish Walling of Chicago, socialist, and
husband of Anna Strunsky, a noted
Russian author, and grandson of a
candidate for vice president, is the
defendant in an action for breach
of promise.
The plaintiff is Anna Berthe Gruns
pan, a» petite and charming young
French woman. She appraises the
damage done to her heart and peace
of mind at $100,000. •
Every effort has been made by all
parties to the action to avoid pub
licity, but the defendant's motion for
a bill of particulars will come up to
morrow before Justice Brady in the
supreme court
Waiting's spectacular career as
settlement worker, author and social
ist is well known, but nothing before 1
has been heard of little Miss Grunspan.
Even now she remains veiled, in mys
tery. Her attorney, Arthur M. Wick
wire, refuses to reveal her whereabouts,
her, history or the full story of Wall
ing's alleged wooing.
It is known, however, that she and
Walling first met in^Paris in the sum
mer of 1905, when- the young man with
several noted socialists was studying
the Russian situation. About the same
time Walling and Anna Strunsky, now
his wife, were prosecuting sociological
studies together in the French capital.
Anna Strunsky was even more widely
known than her husband. Russian by
birth, she was graduated with high
honors at Leland Stanford university,
and her socialistic meetings attracted
international attention. She collabor
ated with Jack London in writing a
book and was named by his first Wife
in her action for divorce.
MRS. GEORGE LAW MUST
PAY $5,000 DRESS BILL
Wealthy American Will Have to
Settle Costumer's Account
LONDON,; July. 2 6.— A $5,000 dress
bill was the subject of a controversy
In the chancery court here today be
tween a Paris costumer and Mrs.
George Law, "a wealthy American, who
jjlvides her time between. New, York,
Paris and London. -— '
Mrs. Law declined to pay! the bill on
the ground that the costume did hot
fit, and because the charges were ex
tortionate.
The, verdict, however, was in favor
of the plaintiff, who greatly amused
the court with a recital of how-Mrs.
Law took her to the theater and to the
Louvre, bade her copy the dresses of
actresses and famous women of the
Louis XV- period * pictured in the
Louvre and kissed and complimented
her on the admirable reproductions she

ALL WORK FOR
WORLD FAMOUS
PORTOIA FETE!
Appeal to the Loyal Citizens
to Help Make Great Carni
val a Success
Thousands of Visitors Will
Come to San Francisco From
Four Corners of Globe
California will entertain the world
next October.
Cities, throughout the state and the
Pacific coast, eastern and -middle west
ern states, the national government
and all the leading foreign powers
have; manifested an interest in the
coming Portola festival- that means an
influx of , thousands \u25a0 of visitors from
the four corners of the globe.
Growth of Great Fete
The fete, begun by a few energetic
businessmen as a local or at the most
state celebration of the rebirth of San
Francisco and the greater prosperity
of the e/npire of California; has grown
to a festival of worldwide Interest and
importance. ...
The plans of the first few weeks
have enlarged day by day, grown of
themselves, been forced into magnifi
cent size by the enthusiastic co-opera
tion of a dozen governments, hundreds
of cities, thousands -of officials and in
fluential citizens of every nation in
the world. .*" *
Whole World Interested
. San Francisco has realized that in
the hearts of the world it has held a
chosen place as a (City of memories
-and that the fire has not swept that
sentiment away. The world, as the in
terest in the Portola festival has
proved, retains its love for the city by
the Golden gate and the state in. which
she lies, and, more than that, regards
with a high degree of curiosity the
new city, of three; years', , growth,
which- has sprung up since, the fire.
The world is interested in San Fran
cisco and that means the world's chil
dren will be in this city next October.
Financial Aid Needed
\u25a0The- Portola conifjiktee: believed- that
it could finance- the and con
tinued to believe it until the fete grew
into a celebration of international im
portance and an exposition to finance
which they, needed aid. That aid they
have at last asked, and to carry, out
the event in the ; gorgeous style in
which it is now planned to paint the
five days of festival they wish the sum
of $200,000. The work of collecting
this was begun yesterday by the send
ing out of 25,000 letters to buslness
•men throughout "the state. First con
tributions to' the fund will come in
today.

asks" that every man, -whether he re
ceives one of their letters or not, draw
up a check of a figure he can spare
and send itin to them at their offices,
room 930, Phelan building.- Every
citizen will be a host to these stran
gers. The reputation of his city ' and
state depends , upon the welcome the
visitors .will receive.

the names of the earnest businessmen,
all of them men of large affairs, who
make up the Portola festival commit
tee, f or ; these men have worked always
without publicity, keeping their names
In the background, not aeeking praise
for their labors, merely giving their
time, energy and enthusiasm to the
