|COCKRELL, WIFE SLAYER,
| GIVEN 2O-yEAR Term
Justice Gould Imposes Minimum
Sentence on Man Convicted of
Second Degree Murder.

Philip Shirley Cockrell, who was
convicted recently of murder in the
second degree in connection with the
killing of his wife. Pearl Hortense
Cockrell, July 1, 1918. was sentenced
today by Justice Gould to serve twen-
ty years in the penitentiary.
In imposing the minimum sentence
under the law the court said he did
not believe the defendant was in
sane, but he was much impressed
with the statement made by DR.: Will
liam A. White. superintendent of the
Government Hospital for the Insane,
who testified for the accused
DR.. White expressed the view that
the mans mind had given way under
a prolonged contest between his love
and hate for the woman who had
caused him to inflict the fatal blow.
Cockrell struck his wife on the head
with an iron pipe at their home, $40 +
street northeast after a quarrel in
which she refused to give up dane
ing and receiving attentions of other
men.

NOlNzlXA TON BEFORE ADJOURNMENT
ORDER OF THE DAY At CHICAGO;
DELEGATES WHOOPLNG THINGS UP
Today's Program,

When the republican national
convention met today it was un-
der an agreement to stay in ses-
sion until a presidential candi-
date has Been nominated.
The prospects were for an all
day and possibly a night session.
The program then calls for adj
journment and the nomination
tomorrow of a candidate for Vice
President.
Tcday's nominating speeches,
it was believed, would occupy
four hours-perhaps fve-then
the delegates will ballot.
Some of the leaders who are
playing to have a "dark horse"
nominated do not expect a nomi-
nation before tomorrow. Two
ballots, perhaps three or four,
they are planning to allow today,
but the matter is in the hands of
the delegates.

ICE ORDERS DOUBLED.
Plenty on Hand, Say Dealers, on
First Hot Day.

Washington's first real day Of sum-
mer found housekeepers doubling
their orders for ice-and receiving the
amounts asked for.
There is plenty Of ice this summer.
according to officials of the American
Ice Company, which supplies the ma
jority of ice for home consumption.
There is on hand at present. it was
stated today. 10000 more tons than
this time last year. while the reserve
stocks in storage. amounting to 10000
tons, have not been touched.
The increased supply is accounted
for in a greater manufacture of the
commodity during the winter, and the
fact that the late season, with it's cool
weather, has delayed the annual rush
for ice.

FARMERS HOLD MILK UP.
Dealers Tell Health Officer Fowler
Supply Is Plentiful.

After comforting today with num-
Der of representative milk dealers,
Health Officer Fowler said there ap-
pears to be no hope of bringing down
the price Of milk while the supply is
plentiful unless the farmers agree to
lower the price to the distributor.
AS stated yesterday. the. dealers told
Chief Inspector Ashworth of the
health department and DR.. Fowler
that, although milk is more plentiful
than usual. the farmers are getting
the regular summer wholesale price.
The health officer said he does not
expect to take the question up with
the farmers.
According to Inspector Ashworth,
one local distributor claims that the
farmer from whom he gets milk Is
selling his surplus to a manufacturer
for Is cents a gallon. but would not
sell the surplus to the local distributor
at that price. DR.. Ashworth said this
dealer pays SO cents a gallon for his
regular supply and was willing to
take the farmers excess supply at Is
cents.
The cool weather of the last few
weeks is believed to have brought
about the increased production in
nearby Maryland and Virginia. AS
the weather becomes warmer. experts
say, the supply probably will fall off.
