To Press CouRt Martial

Washington, Feb. 26.-Court mar tial proceedings against Lieutenant Frank E. Kennedy, now confined in the state hospital for insane at Napa, Callf., will be pressed, if he is found to be sane, it is,said at the navy department,
 It was explained that the officer was tried before a summary court at his Asiatic station on charges based on drunkenness and insubor- dination, but both Rear Admiral Washington, commanding, and Sec rotary Wilbur were of the opinion that the punishment, a suspension, vas too lenient.

 Details of the incidents which led ,up 10 the charges against Lieutenant Kennedy have not been made public but it was said at the department that in one report from him he had mentioned the automobile incident naming Lieutenant Christie, his inn mediate commanding officer at the time.
 The report of the naval medical survey on which Lieutenant Ken nedy was committed to the asylum has not been received as yet by the bureau of medicine and surgery at the navy department. The bureau was said 10 have acted on tcle- graphic advices in approving the re- port of the survey board.

An drews, president of the Chamber of Commerce, Miss Vivian R. Scott, acting secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Walter 0. Cook, Boy Scout executive, Miss Lois Shaw, Girl Scout director, Secretary Fer guson of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce, and representatives of the Kiwanis and Lions clubs met with the New Britain Rotary club at the Burritt hotel today to discuss the formation of safety council in this city.
 In opening the meeting President Hartwell Taylor explained that while New Britain has an enviable record in the list of accidents, 1t is felt that the number can be still further minimized by a safety coun- cil here.
 Mir. Ferguson was the principal speaker. He stated that in the United States last year 10000 peo- pie were killed by automobiles. The time lost in industries through ac- Cidents is equivalent to 520,000 men working 565 days year, he stated. He said the property loss in year amounts to nearly billion dollars and that the safety council idea is the result of a recommendation made by the Hoover conference.
 He explained that the purpose of a safety council is to educate the public in caution, and 10 root out habits of carelessness. He said the safety rules should be applied to pedestrians as well as motorists and that jay walking was as much in need of supervision as reckless driv- ing.
 President Taylor announced that the annual meeting will be on April 9 when a president, president, secretary, treasurer and two direc- tors will be elected. He appointed a committee to bring in nominations las follows: F. J. Porter, Stanley

 Lieutenant Albert Pierce Burleigh an intelligence officer, who shot him. self to death at Mare Island on Feb ruary 15, was driven to suicide after he had tried to obtain 8 trial for Kennedy who was sent to the insane hospital, according to Mrs. Kennedy.
 After bounding my husband as near to insanity as they could, and failing to unseat the reason of a brave man, some navy officers have determined to sequester him in a madhouse because they are part of an organized system which objects to anyone who has not come through Annapolis and because they are scared of what he could tell about Lieutenant Burleigh's suicide" Mrs. Kennedy said.
 Lieutenant Burleigh was en route from Far Eastern waters to visit his family on the Atlantic coast when he committed suicide. He was mar lied.
