TELLS her STORY
Cecilia Farley, Charged With
Murder of Her Lover
Recites History of Her Rela-
tiOnS With the Dead Man.

Columbus O., Nov. 19.-Before a
crowd so dense that one woman's arm
was broken when she attempted to gain
a vantage point Cecilia Farley, the
stenographer in state office who is on
trial charged with murder in the first
degree for the alleged killing of Alvin
E. Zollinger, an advertising solicitor,
today told of her relations with the
man who she claims was accidentally
shot.
At times ,oking squarely into the
eyes of the jurors. the pretty stenog-
rapher told of how she met ZolIinger
at a public dance hall, of how he be-
came infatuated with her, that she did
not know he was married, and of how
he finally wronged her at her home one
night while she was caring for her
brothers and sisters while her parents
had gone to the theater.
Without faltering Miss Farley told
who she finally learned that ZoIlinger
was married and a father, and of how
she pleaded with him to stop his re-
lations with her and return to his wife.
According to the witness Zollinger told
her at first that he could not live with
out her and that if she did not keep
company with him, he would tell Ii
friends OF her intimate relations with
him.
She said Zollinger annoyed her when
she attempted to break off their rela-
tions and that he would not allow her
to keep company with other young
men.
Miss Farley'S testimony was given in
a voice which could be heard only by
the jurors and those Immediately about
the witness stand. She testified that
riage because of her intimacy with

WORK AT ONCE

Work will begin at once to make the
Commercial club quarters in the Com

ators will put the parlors and offices in
shape, and to prevent the work from
being ruined by water forcing itself
through a leaky roof, composition roof
ing will be replaced by tin.
1t will probably be in the Christmas
holidays that the dining room will be
enlarged by including the room now
used for pool and billiards. At that
time business at the club will be slack
and the membership will be less in
conyenienced than now.

Attempts to NuIlify Law.
The United States threatened third
armed invasion in Cuba In note pre-.
sented to the government OF that coun'
try by Arthur NJ. Beaupre, American
minister at Havana.
Mr.. Beaupre was acting on full tele
graphic instructions sent him from the
state department
The last time the United States sent
troops to Cuba was In October. 1906.
II was recalled here that the belief
was freely expressed at that time by
both officials and members OF con-
gress that the mex time American sol.
diers went to Cuba they would go
there to stay. Silence that date. how
ever. confidence in the ability OF the
Cubans to manage their own affairs
has greatly increased, and there Is
little expectation that actual interven'
ton will be necessary
The United States minister to Cuba,
MIR. Beauprc. reported TO the state de-
partment that. in defiance OF decree
issued By President Gomez. foroidding
officers OF the army and the rural
guard to participate in politics In Gu
ba. the soldiers had practically taken
control OF the Cuban elections. The
situation, Minister Beaupre said, was
regarded as most serious.
This situation Is an outgrowth OF the
agitation begun last fall by the asso
citation of the veterans OF the war for
Cuban independence. The veterans be.
gan by demanding the dismissal from
Office of all men who had been identi'
lied with the old Spanish regime in
iS95.9S. and the appointment OF mem
bcrs of their organization To Office
wherever possible.
The campaign las now so far pro
gressed that officers of the army and
the rurale guards are being drawn into
IL contrary to existing law. The vet
erans In return are demanding that the
law prohibiting The participation OF
army officers ard the rurales in politics
be made dead letter and are defying
the Gomez administration on the is
sue.
The state departments note. direct
ed sent by President Taft, 10 the Gu
ban government. follows:
"The situation In Cuba, as now re-
ported, causes grave concern to the
government pf the United States.
THAT the laws intended to safe

obviously essential to the maintenance

pei the government of the United

consider what measure II must take
