FROST IN MONTGOMERY.
Temperature Here Went Down to 8;
 Degrees.

Light frost occurred in portions of the suburbs of Montgomery yesterday morning. The air temperature here. as reported by the Weather Bureau, was Al degrees, but at the ground level 1t was about 3S degrees.
 Light frost was quite general through Middle Alabama, and heavy frost occurred in northern portions of the State. Heavy frosts were also quite general in adjoining States to'the north, east and west, and killing frost occurred in portions of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas.
 The crest of the cool area will finger over this section through this morn ing, when the temperature will be as low, if not slightly lower, than yes- terday, with greater probability of frost on account of the air being com paratively still, after which it will warm slowly.
 The Weather Bureaus warning for these frosts was issued well in ad- vance of the cold change.

Cannot Be Cast of By Army Men Com
 ing Back.
 Leavenworth Dispatch.
 The divorce suit of Conception Ve- lasquez the Filipino wife of First Lieu tenant Sidney S. Burbank, 9th Infantry, which has attracted much attention, has been decided in favor of Mrs. Bur bank. Word reached Fort Leavenworth today that Judge Bates of the Court of First Instance in Iloilo. P. l., had grant ed a divorce to Mrs. Burbank, had giv- en her the custody of their daughter and allowed her monthly alimony.
 Mrs. Burbank brought the action af- ter the Lieutenant returned to the United States and after his engagement to prominent young LeaVenworth wo- man had been announced. The War Department provided counsel for the deserted wife.
 Lieutenant Burbank is now being tried by corutmartial in Iloilo on charges growing out of the case that has just been decided.
 The Burbank case has been hanging fire for two years and nrst became known when Mrs. Velasquez informed the War Department of a marriage which had taken place in Valladoid, Is- land of Negros, where Burbank was In command in 1901. News of the mar riage did not reach the United States nor Lieutenant Burbank's fellow offi- cers until he had announced his en- gagement in Leavenworth.
 The woman's charge was followed by denial on the part of the officer and suit to have the marriage declared void, The Lfeutenants defense was that the record In Vallodolid had been placed there by a village prcsidente whom he had imprisoned and who had taken this means ito avenge himself The weman, however, declared that the ce. emony was legal and that youngest of her three children was Burbank's. There are said to be many cases like that of Linutebant Burbank, of officers and soldiers marrying Filipino women with the idea that they could cast then off when they returned to the United | States.
