NOT INCREASE LIBERTY BONDS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-E-The ways and means committee of the house of representatives has decided that they will not authorize any in- crease in the amount of Liberty bonds not issued.
 A decision was made. however, au- thorizing the United States treasury to issue notes maturing from one to five years. These notes are expect. ed to provide any additional sums which will be needed.
 These notes, which have been au- thorized by the committee. will be disposed of by the treasury depart ment in such amounts and at such times as the money is. needed. It Is believed that the notes will be of. fered mainly to banks.
 Altho 1t has been expected that there would be bond drive this spring. this decision of the ways and means committee is taken to mean that there will be no more bond sales by the government.

FRANK DUNHAM
 COMING HOME

Yesterday Mrs. Frank Durham re- ceived a wire from MT. Durham stat ing that he had been discharged from the service at Camp Lewis and would leave for the north on the 18th of the present month.
 The boys are reporting in right along and 1t will not be long before they will be arriving by the boat load. A somewhat changed town will greet them on their arrival. The people will be glad to welcome them back home and probably as big a demonstration will be extended them on their return as when they start ed for the front. Many will have been disappointed in not being able to take an ocean voyage across the Atlantic but they did their bit just the same.

GUILTY OF MURDER IN
 FIRST DEGREE

OLYMPIA. Feb. 1s.-(R--Despite the desperate fight made by his at toneys. a verdict was returned to- day against Norman E. Burnett con- victing him of murder in the first degree. The defense was made on the claim that Burnett was insane and should not be held responsible for his crime.
 The defendant was charged witt the cold-blooded murder of his wife and two babies. The crime was com- mitted during picnic last May. En- ticing his family away from the pie nic crowd, Burnett killed the three with two loads in shot gun. When found. the skulls of the three per sons were crushed as If the murder. CT had used his gun as club after shooting his victims down.
 In his defense Burnett claimed that tue oeeO was committed after his wife had confessed that she was un. faithful to him and her marriage vows. He maintained that this con. fession effected his mind and tem- porarily drove him to insanity. With the exception of the testi mony of the defendant there was no evidence that Mrs. Burnett had ever made such a confession. The entire community was shocked by the brutal murder and sentiment was very pronounced against the de- fendant. It Is thot that the attor. neys for Burnett will appeal the case.
