H., Deec. 28.—Incidents designed to show that Frederick L. Small. a former Boston broker, used harsh and profane language fo his wife, Florence Arline Small, for whose murder he is on trial, were related in the testimony of several witnesses to- ay. < Philip L. Davis, formerly employed on odd jobs by the defendant, said that on ‘one occasion when Mr. and Mrs. Small were raising a flagpole, Mrs. Small let go a rope in accord- arce with her husband’s directions and the pole fell. Small then kicked his ife, swore at her, and ordered her to the house when she tried to ex- plain, saying “We'll settle that later,” according to Davis. Mrs. Mary E. Conner, wife of the high school principal, said that Small addressed profane language to his wife or. one occasion hecause she could not steer his motorboat with a cord he had arranged. Helen Conner, her daugh- ter, said that when she complimented Small on his wife's cooking he replied tha# sometimes he had “to take the axe to_her.” In outlining the prosecution’s case, Walter D. H. Hill, the county solicitor, told of an alleged threat by Small that he would kill his wife. The inci- dent was said to have happened be- fore the Smalls moved to Ossipee lake. £mall is alleged to have asserted: “I hit her over the head with a bootjack. I ought to have killed her, and I will yet There was much interest tonight in the arrival of Medical Examiner George B. Magrath of Boston, who is expected to be a witness tomorrow. GREEK DIVISION TO FIGHT AGAINST ENTENTE ALLIES Ordered by King Constantine to Leave Germany, Where It Has Been In- terned. / London, Dec. 281 4:55 p. m.—A tel- egram has been received from Saloni- ki by the Anglo-Hellenic League to the effect that the Greek division which surrendered to the Bulgarians at Kavala has been ordered by King Constantine to leave Goerlitz, Ger- many, where it has been interned, for the Macedonian front, to aght against the entente allies. Such a move on the part of King Constantine would be tantamount to an act of war against the entente powers an das recent despatches from Athens have represented that the dif- ferences between Greece and the en- tente were being composed the accu- racy of the confirmed despatch to the Anglo-Hellenic League is open to question. At the time of the occupation of eastern Macedonia, part of the Kavala garrison of Greek troops surrendered to the Germans and Bulgarians and the others were removed on entente warships. Those who surrendered to the Germans and the Bulgarians were transported to Goerlitz for internment. Their number was given in a Berlin despatch of September 21 as 400 of- ficers and 6,000 men. DOUBLE MORAL STANDARD FOR MEN AND WOMEN Condemned by the lllinois Women's Legislative Congress. Chicago, Dec. 28.—Speakers at the opening session of the Illinois Wom- en’s Legislative Congress today con- demned the double moral standard for men and women because of the in- Justice to women in dealing with cases of illegitimate children. “The women of Illinois will b the double moral standard for ren and women into pieces with iron blows,” sgaid Bishop Samuel Fellows. “There must be a great regeneration of morals on the part of man before the double moral standard ean be eli- minated. We must remove ths stain of dishonor from the innocent ones who have-been wronged. We must give the child the right to bear its father's name.” That parentage should constitute le- gal marriage, that illegitimate chil- dren should be given better protection and that marriage licenses should be issued after rigid physical examina- tion of contracting parties were among the reforms suggested by speakers. Opposition to the proposed automatic marriage bill was voiceéd by many omaakars. RUSSIAN SHIP IN NEW YORK; FIRST IN THREE MONTHS Is to Take a Cargo for a Port as Yet Unnamed. New York, Dec. 28.—For the first time in nearly three months a _ship flying the Russian flag docked today at a New York pier. She was the steamship Vologda, out of Archangel December 3 and is here in ballast fo take carg. for a port as yet unnamed. Until early September a regular service was maintained between this port and Archagel, Russia, by ves- sels of the Russian volunteer fleet, in- cluding' the passenger steamers Kursk, Dwinsk, Czar and Czaritza. These ships for an unexplained reason were fwithdrawn from the New York service and little has been heard of them since. The Kursk was last reported to have left Archangel November 15 with 104 passengers for New York, but maritime circles heard today that |she had been intercepted with orders at isea to put into Liverpool, where the passengers were transferred to the American _steamship Lapland, due here_this week. Officials here of the Russian lines decline to discuss the movement of their ships, but others whose interests are associated with Russian shipping think the vessels are being used to transport supplies from England to Russia via te ice-free port of Kola Bay, under the protection of war craft. Officers of the Vologda refused to say anything about their voyage from Archangel. 1,000 MEXICAN REFUGEES ARRIVE AT LAREDO Left Mexico Through Fear of Revolu- tionary Activities.
