FILIPINO WOMAN
 CLAIMS BURBANK Says He Was Married to Her in
 the Philippines HE TERMS IT CONSPIRACY As He Is to Be Married to a Society Girl of LeaVenworth, kasr He Files Suit to Have Alleged
 Marriage AnnulIed.
HE TERMS IT CONSPIRACY

Leavenworth, Kas., September 25.-First Lieut. Sidney s. Burbank sixth infantry, stationed at Fort Leavenworth, filed suit in the district court today to annull pretended marriage with Mrs. Conception Vasquez a Filipino woman. The filing of this suit is the outcome of a charge made by Mrs. Vasquez to the war department that Lieutenant Burbanks was married to her while in the Philippine islands, and that she was his lawful wife, and wanted him to support her. The first notice of this alleged marriage was made public after the announcement of the betrothal of Lieutenant Burbank to society girl of Leavenworth.
 The story of the Filipino marriage of Lieutenant Burbank, which he says is a fraud, comes from Valladolid province, where Lieutenant Burbank was in com mand of a garrison of United States troops in 1901. Mrs. Vasquez, who was a widow with three small children, lived in the village where the garrison was situat- ed. Lieutenant Burbank came to Fort Leavenworth a year ago and report followed him that he was married to a Filipino and was the father of a new born baby. The Filipino widow followed this by filing copies of documents pre- tending to be a marriage contract with Lieutenant Burbank.
 To offset this Lieutenant Burbank and Corporal Burns sent affdavlts to the war department stating that Lieutenant Bur bank was not in the village, but out on a campaign at the date of the pretended marriage, and that the affair was fraud and documents to back 1t were forgeries.
 It is said that Lieutenant Burbank's S so- lutior- of the affair is that justice of the peace and president of the village, where Burbank commanded a detach- ment of troops, was imprisoned for six months for insubordination that the jus tice had charge of the records, and that in his eagerness to get even with Bur bank he permitted the woman to apply and to make out a marriage certificate His object in filing the suit here is to clear his record.
 Under the Kansas divorce laws the woman has forty days in which to an- swer She will not have time to answer as it would require at least three months to prepare any defense and file 1t by a person now In the Philippines.

HILL IS PLEASED
 WITH NEW SYSTEM
SAYS TEXT BOOK LAW IS WORK ING SMOOTHLY EVERYWHERE
 EXCEPT IN BIRMINGHAM, AND ONLY NEEDS FAIR TRIAL HERE.


 State Superintendent of Education 1 w. Hill Is in the city and speaks enthu- siastieally of the workings of the new text book law which went into effect re- gently. He is also very enthusiastic about the future of the schools of Ala bama and says that the new law will put them abreast of schools in any state in the union.
 In speaking of the matter he said that one of the features was the elimination of politics, and the gradual passing away of incompetent county superintendents and township trustees. Agriculture, thinks MT. Hill, will before long be one of the most important branches in the schools.
 "'The only opposition to the new law" said MT. Hill, "has come from Birming- ham. Everywhere else that schools have been opened the system has been satisfactory I agree with the stand of the Age-Herald that the system would be satisfactory here as soon as 1t re- ceives a fair trial, and that the opposi- tion would disappear.
 "Al revolutions meet with some objec- tions, and we could hardly expect this to be an exception, yet4I am .ssreeabls surprised with the smoothness with which the system is already being oper- ated. The law will be faithfully carried out :"

At the same time the sheriff called lustily for assistance Two of the police and several citizens rushed to the jail, but before they arrived the mob had succeeded in battering down the wooden door at the foot of the stairs leading to the corridor.
 The sheriff and his posse made a stout resistance, but were unable to prevent the mob from breaking in the iron door
