NEW YORK, July 15—Dorothy Perkins, 17 years old, took the witness stand today in General Sessions Court to tell her story of the fatal shootin; on St. Valentine's day of Thoma: Templeton, her former sweetheart. Although nervous, she apparently was in excellent spirits compared with her condition of last week, when she collapsed in court. Under the questioning of Defense Attorney Lash, the girl in a barely audible voice told of intimate rela- tions she had had with Mickey Con- nors, her middle-aged married suitor, who now”is serving a sentence for wife beating. These relations began in 1923, she said, when she was barely 15. While drinking with Tommy, she said, her father entered the room and said: ~ “If Connors comes up tonight you'll go down with a bullet.” “Why did you take the gun?” Lash asked the girl. “So my father wouldn't break up the party,” she answered. Her mother entered at this point, the girl testified, grabbed Perkins by the shoulder, and in the ensuing scuffle the shot was fired She denied any intention of shoot- ing Templeton and declared she could not remember having had the gun in her hand. “I loved Tommy Templeton,” the girl sald when pressed as to whether the shooting was purposed. “I don’t know whether the gun was in my hand; I don’t know whether I pulled the trigger; I don’t know how the gun went off.

MESSENGER,VETERAN OF EVENING STAR STAFF, SUCCUMBS TO APOPLEXY (Continied from First Page.) member of the famous Gridiron Club, becoming its president in 1921, which added to his wide reputation as an outstanding member of the newspaper profession. Notable in Political Field. Mr. Messenger, as the representa- tive of The Star, attended all the national political conventions, since almost back to the beginning of the recollection of the present generation. Between the sessions of Congress and especially during the months immedi- ately preceding political conventions, Mr. Messenger traveled far and wide, from one end of the country to the other, to learn at first hand the senti- ment in the various States and com- munities. His reports were clear, succinct and accurate, and his prog- nostications usually correct. His knowledge was international as well as national. In planning to cover the epoch-making arms con- ference in 1921, The Star organized a picked corps of trained writers. In announcing the personnel of the corps, The Star at that time said: “True to its reputation for completeness and accuracy, The Star has marshaled, under the direction of N. O. Messen- ger, a staff of trained newspaper men, that its readers may be assured of the most comprehensive and authentic re- ports, graphically presented, of what it taking place around the conference table {n this most momentous council of nations—the fruits of which are of vital interest to every man, woman and child, throughout the world.” Held Important Post. Under the direction of Mr. Mes- senger the eyes of the men referred to were “focused to plerce to the very heart of purpose; their ears were at- tuned to catch the faintest whisper of avowal, while their long and varied ex- perience had given their perception keen edge to interpret every phase of action. with accuracy.” It was re- garded as a great compliment to Mr. Messenger to select him to direct the force of writers mentioned, and a trib- ute to his ability and understanding of things of epoch-making importance. The personnel of the staff, as de- scribed by The Star, especially “who they are and what they have achieved that signally fits them for the difficult and delicate task they are accom- plishing with such distinct success— weaving into enduring history the true narrative of the great meeting of na- tions seeking to find a common path to perpetual peace,” included Mr. Messenger in the following words: “No man in American journalism enjoys a wider reputation as a politi- cal. writer than Mr. Messenger. His acquaintance with national statesmen and the politics of our country is of the most intimate character. Every reader of The Star is familiar with his comprehensive and intelligent of the political situations, no how complex they may be. “‘Mr. Messenger is bringing out of the maze of happenings and the mys- teries of argument in the conference the facts, clearly and concisel It would seem needless to say more. Mr. Messenger enjoved the absolute confidence of Presidents and other statesmen, without exception; of pub- lic men; of business men: of his asso- ciates and employers. His loss will be keenly felt. :| Porto Rico now has 131 persons to every automobile. SEE ANNOUNCEMENT TUESDAY’S AND SATURDAY'S STAR. 9-Inch A.

KELLOGG TO AVOID DEBATE ON “INSULT” SEEN BY CALLES (Continued from First Page.) ican citizens have been illegally taken in Mexico, for which no compensation has been made, and in one instance taken by the Mexican government on account’ of unreasonable demands of labor. At the same time he refers to the joint claims commissions, stat- ing that he is convinced that the Mexican government wishes to com- ply with the conventjons and to in- demnify for the properties taken from American citizens. That he has seen the statements published in the press that another revolutionary movement may be impending in Mexico and that the Department of State very much hopes this is not true, the attitude of said department being to use its in- fluence and to lend its support in be- half of stability and orderly consti- tutional procedure in Mexico, but it makes clear that the American Gov- ernment will continue to support the government in Mexico only So long as it protects American lives. and Amer- ican rights and complies with its in- ternational engagements and obliga- tions. He adds that the government of Mexico is now on trial before the world. “It is a duty for my government to rectify sald statements as required by truth and justice. “The best proof that Mexico is willing to comply with her interna- tional obligations and to protect the life and interests of foreigners lays in the fact that, although according to international law she was not bound to do it, she invited all the nations whose citizens or subjects might have suffered damages through acts ex- ecuted during the political upheavals that have taken place in the country, with a view to conclude with them conventions to establish joint com- missions that might consider said damages in order to grant due jn- demnizations. “‘Besides that, another convention Show the world you're pros- perous.
