ROSE LOVERS.

A POPULAR Washington girl whe
is recuperating at home after
spending two weeks in hospital after
an operation says she had a difficult
time keeping the flowers her many
admirers sent her.
Boxes containing a dozen and some
times 13 roses would be opened in heI
room, but the next day, when the
vases were taken out to have the water
changed. only 10 or II would be
brought back.
The maid explained that "one or
two were dead and had to be thrown
out"
The patient was particularly fond OF
a bouquet Of red roses and when they
had dwindled from 13 to 10 in the
usual manner she told the maid
specifically that none needed to be
discarded.
"She failed to take the hint" how
ever, the patient told her friends. "The
vase came back with nine"

IN ROGERS CASE
Says Mrs. Rogers Was in
Wheel Chair the Day She
Signed Waiver.
Ry the Associated Press.

Henry Huddleston Rogers sl6,755,eoC
fortune was offered in Surrogate's
Court today.

after an automobile accident in De-
cember. 1884, said Mrs. Rogers was
forced to use q wheel chair the day
she signed a waiver of her rights.
She was unable TO walk until lC
days later. the nurse told the court.
This testimony was in contradiction
to earlier evidence submitted through
Adrian H. Larkin. counsel to Rogers al
the time, that Mrs. Rogers had beer
able to walk the day of the signing.
Other Witnesses Called.
Several other witnesses we're called
in an effort to rebut testimony offered
by the Rogers estate In the widows
suit to dismiss the waiver and obtain
third Of the Rogers estate. Under a
current agreement she receives about
$4,000 a year.
Mrs. Rogers accuses Larkin of hav-
ing duped her into signing away her
rights.

but said Larkin was the only other
person In the room at the time. Lar
kin had testified Rogers was present.
She also offered testimony in con-
hict with Larkins' regarding the sign
ing of first waiver in August, 1888
when Col Rogers and Mrs. Rogers
were married
LGkin had testified Mrs. Rogers
signed the waiver on August % of that
year, the day of the marriage.
Signed Before Marriage.
The former secretary said today the
signing actually took place two days
before the marriage and that Mrs
Rogers, whose name was then Mrs
Pauline v. Dresser, had been told by
Larkin to use the name of Rogers.
The clergyman who performed the
marriage ceremony, Rev. Wilbur Glenn
ems, testified that after the cere-
mony he went to the Larkin home for
lunch and stayed until o'clock that
afternoon He said he did not see
Col. and Mrs. Rogers there that after
noon.
Larkin had testified the first waiver
signing occurred at his home the
afternoon OF the wedding. The lawyer
also had said Mr.. Clemens did not have
lunch at his home that day.
Mrs. Rogers has contended the
injuries suffered in the motor acci-
dent prevented her from understand
ing fully the import of the waiver
she signed.
Cousel on both sides indicated they
would rest their cases later today.

Disregarded.

LONDON. July Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin. swapping back at his
critics. roundly denied today that he
had dsregarded warnings of advisers
in 1884 about the rate by which
German air armament had been
speeded up.
There is no foundation for that
suggestion" he declared in the House
of Commons. hitting back at opposition
criticism raised while Baldwin was
resting at his country home.
Intends No Reflection.
In saying that We were miSled.
certainly intended no reflection on any
department or individual. If such
reflection gained credence. I am glad
to correct It,"
Baldwin was roundly cheered when
he appeared on the floor. and he
flushed slightly with pleasure at ths
loud ovation.
The prime minister's reply was in
answer to question by Thomas
johnston, baporlte, but the declaration
also was in answer to the Earl OF
Londonderrys assertion last week that
the premier had not been misled as he
had asserted in Commons in his
famous speech In 1885.
Present Data Believed Reliable.
Baldwin continued that despite the
difficulty Of obtaining information
about country in which no estimates
of defense expenditures are published, -
the British government is satisfied the
present information on German air
rearmament is reliable so far as can
accurately be obtained"
Johnston, before he questioned the
prime minister, said we are all glad
on personal grounds to see the prime
minister in his place once again."
