Defendant Tells
Her Story
Mrs. Sigler Placed on the Stand
Friday Mornings Relates Acts
of Brutality.

The defendant was called to the
witness stand with the opening Of
court Friday morning. Her pre-
liminary remarks leading TO the story
of the shooting were devoted to tales
of brutality on the part of her hus-
band dating from about year after
her marriage to him in 1914.
Her Story of Shooting.
In describing the shooting of her
husband Mrs. Sigler said that early
in the morning of May she started
in to do the family washing. A man
came 20 the door and inquired for
her husband, saying he had made
arrangements to drive him to Ash
land She told him her husband had
gone out, for she had noted his bed
was vacant when she went unstairs
at 80 to cover the children. She
had slept downstairs the night before
with Louise Mason. Shortly after
the man went away her husband
came in the laundry room fully
dressed, with coat and cap on. She
told him a man had been inquiring
for him and her reply to the mans
question.
Shot Him Twice
She said Sigler became angry, his
rage increasing as he tainted her for
sleeping out of her own bed that
night. He finally picked up
bottle and threw it at her. She re-
sponded with a resounding whack
with a broom handle which she was
using in the washing. He moved to-
wards an old stove, where several
days before she said she had dis
covered revolver which she remov-
ed from the stove and placed in an
old baby carriage in the laundry
room. She grabbed the gun, ran
down the hall and into room No. Z,
latching the door behind her.
Sigler broke in the door and she shot
once into the floor. He advanced
towards her with cleaver in his
hand. She fired twice at him,
dropped the gun and ran from the
room.
Called Friend Andy.
She said her first impulse was to
call the police, so she ran out the
front door. but not seeing one in
sight went back in again She ran

FAMOUS FLOWER GIRLS"
OF LONDON ARE BANISHED
Weather-Beaten, Wrinkled Cock.
ney Women Lose Stand at
Statue Of Eros.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 14.-When the
large numbers of American tourists who
visit Europe every summer arrive in
London this year, they will find one
great change through the passing Of
''the flower girls who as long as any
one can remember have sat day and
night in sunshine, rain and fog, under
the statue Of Eros in Picadilly circus.
These weather-beaten and wrinkled,
but cheerful coclney women-but al
ways called flower girls whatever
their ages-were ordered from their
places this week. The statue Of Eros
is to be removed for 18 months, and
the center. of the circus torn up to
make a bigger and better subway sta
tion.
Most Of the half dozen flower girls
who were left have sat under the bow
OIL Eros for 20 or 80 years. and in some
cases longer. Custom had made their
own, and woe betide any outsider who
tried to sell flowers in their midst. In
some cases their business had been
handed down from mothers and grand
mothers.
There are few institutions in Lon
don that could be missed as greatly as
the flower girls. Everybody knew
them for their CHEEKY calls and their
friendly suggestions to potential DUR
chasers.
Pretty vilets tuppence, sir" or
"roses for the lidy,'' they would saw.
And, to the yuong lady customer: Them
will look mighty pretty on ye, dearie.''

DENIES SOCIALIST
ELECTION CHARGES
Porto Rican Commissioner
Declares There Is No
Abuse of Powers.

Judge Felix Cordova Davila, resi-
dent commissioner from Porto Rico
yesterday denied charges laid before
the President Thursday by the leader
of the Socialist party of Porto Rico
Santiago Iglesias. to the effect thai
the insular department of justice is
seeking to prevent the truth becom-
ing known in connection with the elec-
ton held in Novem Der. 1924, and was
even abusing its power to the extent
Of thwarting the decision of the court
According to official information
received by Judge Cordova Davila-
said the denial, the matter in con-
troversy grows out Of the attempt by
the Socialists to overturn the result
of the election in the municipality OF
Fajaro. The returns of the last cleo
tions showed that the Socialist party
had been defeated. Mandamus pro-
insular board of elections by the
Socialist leader, Bolivar Pagan, re-
questing an order Of court directing
that the board recount the ballots
and have the tally sheets agree with
the same
Government attorneys appeared for
the board at its request and the
elected candidates were also repre-
sented by private attorneys to resist
this demand. They raised several
legal questions, and especially that
mandamus was not the proper remedy
that under the law the board Of elec-
tions cannot go behind the returns,
but that the right to recount the
votes rests solely with the courts after
certiorari or other proper proceeding gs
have been instituted.
Calls Steps Proper.
"In this instance, the district judge
decided against the insular board ot
elections and issued a writ of man
damus, as prayed for. But the attor-
neys for the elected candidates have
excepted to his ruling in a perfectly
regular way and taken an appeal to
the Supreme Court. Their avowed
purpose Is to secure an Interpretation
of the law of the highest court of the
island to be used as a guide in future
cases.
Judge Cordova Davila claims that
the attorney general was consulted
by the board of elections and after
careful study of the case decided that
the legal question involved should be
finally decided by the Supreme Court.
Appeal proceedings are being per-
fected without unnecessary delay so
that the case may be promptly and
finally decided. Pending the disposi-
ton of an appeal from the lower
court, it's judgmeW is suspended and
the attorney general cannot be crit
icized for recognizing that fact and
so advising the parties in interest
The exercise of the right of appeal to
the Supreme Court when authorized
by statute, cannot be considered as
opposing or disregarding an order of
an inferior court. The attack upon
the attorney general by the Socialist
leader, Iglesias, is therefore entirely
uncalIed for and a gross misrepresen-
tation of the truth"

branches-surface, sub-surface and
air-not only could this country moi
be invaded, but its vital commerce
on the high seas and all it's interests
abroad would be adequately protected
Upholds Navy.
Discussing Gen. Mitchelrs conten-
/ tfon that an invasion Of America
| could be made by sea and air with
an adequate air force, Capt. johnson
says:
This is the crux Of the whole sub
| ject. Is or is not America open to
attack by air? America cannot be
attacked bS a f1rst-class power un-
less it comes over the seas 1t can
| not come in force except in ships. and
it would have to defeat our Navy to
do this.
No firstclass power can invade our
country If our Navy is efficient and
adequate in all its branches. The
Navy does not visualize national de-
fence as a Chinese wall around our
boundrfes. 200 miles beyond the lower
water mark. We must defend our
national interests wherever threaten
ed, at home or abroad. Only the
Navy can do this. If it can defend
our national interests abroad, it GER
tainly can take care Of them nearer
home. All other schemes of national
defense are but secondary defense
Without the Navy such a force could
not take the offensive to defend our
country.
Our foreign policies are no strong
er than our Navy-our Navy no
stronger than its weakest link. If
you weaken any one of it's links

Protection of Ships.
Nineteen hundred merchant ves-
sells are flying the American flag in
all parts of the world today Does
Gen. Mitchell propose to protect this
trade by remaining within 200 miles
of our shores?
Gen. Mitchell's theory is practi-
cally the same as Thomas Jefferson's
gunboat theory of over hundred
years ago. under which it was pro-
posed to abandon the high seas, place
an embargo on all our commerce, and
bend all our energies to preventing a
landing in the United States. This
is the first time since the war of 1912,
when Washington was captured and
burned, that similar theory has
been advanced"
AS far as development is concerned,
Capt Johnson pointed out that it was
the Navy that developed the first
plane to sail across the Atlantic
Ocean, and added that the type Of
airplane used by the Army in its
world fight was a type which the
Navy had developed. The United
States Navy, he further said, Is the
only service which is regularly and
constantly employing aircraft with
all types Of vessels. Naval aviation,
he said. is more thoroughly cooper
atins with the major service in this
case than the Army.

NEW YORK. February 1.-THE
views Of John D. Rockefeller on the
evil of giving young people too much
money are contained in papers filed
in the Supreme Court, in connection
with a proceeding brought by the
Equitable Trust Co, as trustee under
deed of trust established by him
on July 3, 1917. for the benefit of his
daughter, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller
Mccormick.
The trust deed, which is a part Of
the court record gave Mrs. Mccormick

cipal by will and gave her the power

my daughter. in exercising the above
power of appointment, will bear in
mind my belief that it would be
prejudicial to the welfare of her chill
dren and their descendants for them
to come into possession and enjoy

to the injured party and report the
matter to the police within "a hours.
A fine of $1,000 for a first ofTense
is provided for this violation.
In introducing his amendments
Senator Mckellar believes that he has
modified the drastic provisions of the
original act so as to meet the objec-
tion raised against them. He is like
wise of the opinion that the law will
cover adequately the traffic situation
if passed in less drastic form.
In discussing his amendments yes
terday, he pointed out that that more
than 100 new policemen would be
provided at this time even if the 500
were authorized, so that he had set
the figure at 100 to prevent any con-
troversy on this section.
VIII Keep Revenues Same.
Elimination of the annual oper-
ators' permit fees will keep automo-
bile revenue collected by the District
on the same level as that reached
after the gasoline tax was imposed.
1t has been the contention of civic
organizations in Washington that the
new annual 81 charge for permits
would increase still further the
amount paid to drive a car in the
District and the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association has already
petitioned for its removal from the
bill.
In the original wording of the reck-
less-driving clause 1t placed the bur-
den of proof upon the operator to
show that he was not driving in a
reckless manner if he exceeded 20
miles per hour. The MckelIar amend
ment presumeS him innocent until
proved guilty.
Raising of the speed limit to 90
miles an hour was done, the Senator
asserted, because if an absolute %
mile limit was placed in the bill it
would make 1T impossible to create
express streets.
Right of Appeal Given
While the original bill did not give
right to appeal from a decision OF the
traffic director for permit revocation,
the Mcclellan amendment gives the
individual the right to appeal to the
Municipal Court.
The most important of the Nc
Kellar amendments is the one chang
ing the wording of the clause relat-
ing to hit-and-run drivers. 1t makes
the damaging of property less of an
offense than the injury Of an individ-
ual, and provides that while manda-
tory jail sentence shall be meted out
to those who hit-and-run after strik-
ing and injuring person, IL only
property is damaged, the Jail sen
tence is left to the discretion of the
court.
Senator McKellar was in conference
late yesterday with Senator Ball OF
Delaware, chairman of the Senate
District committee, who is in charge
of the committee traffic measure, and
other Senators whose objections at
the night session prevented action
being taken.
It is understood that Senator Nc
Kellar and Senator Ball are prac-
tically agreed on the amendments OF
fered by the Tennessee Senator, and
that they will work together to push
the bill through the Senate early next
week.
