TWO WOMEN FAIL

Mother and Sweetheart Plead in.
Vain for Pardon Of Army
Officer.

Journal Special Service.
Washington. Feb. 24.-Two broken
hearted women, one the mother and
the other the sweetheart Of Lieutenant
Sidney r. Burbank, who was convicted
of DESERVING his Filipino wife, left
Washington today for their home in
Kansas. Lieutenant Burbank is now a
prisoner in irons. on his way across the
Pacific to serve out his term of impris
onment. He was also dishonorably
dismissed from the army. President
Roosevelt approved the findings OF the
courtmartial which tried Burbank and
the records in the case were made pub
lie at the war department today.
When Burbank went to the Philip
pines he met Conception Vasquez,
Filipino woman, whom the court found
he had married and who bore him son.
Notwithstanding the developments, the
Kansas woman was loyal to Burbank,
and promised to marry him after he
had cleared himself from the charges.
The marriage will not take place, as
the court has held that Burbank is le-
gally married to the Filipino woman.
/ Burbank denied that Conception
Vasquez was his wife and that the
child was his. He refused: to support
her. Two years ago Burbank s regi-
ment was ordered to the United States
and stationed at Fit. Leavenw orth, Kan
sas. There Burbank, posing as sim
gle man, won the heart Of a prominent
young woman and arrangements were
made for their marriage. At this stage
friends of the Filipino woman appeared
and prevented the marriage to the Kan
SaS woman. w. - ..--
