For Murder Of Sweetheart

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-President
Coolidge's action today in formally
approving the court martial death
sentence imposed on Second Lieuten-
ant John S. Thompson, marked a
precedent in the history of the Amer
lean system of military justice.
Thompson, who pleaded guilty OF
killing his sweetheart, Audrey Bur-
leigh, of Memphis, in the Philippines
last spring is the first American
officer ever convicted by court mar
tial in peace time on murder charge
and ordered to forfeit his life
1t was not until 1916 that the
articles of war authorized court mar
tiaI trial of persons in military es-
adjustments for crimes punishable by
death. In that year the 92nd article
of war under which Thompson was
found guilty was revised to make
possible such procedure. Search of
war department records today failed

City Milk Supply Shows

A brief but pithy session OF the
Douglas city council was held IN
the council room at the city hall
last night.
The report of the health OFFICER
for December stated that the milk
reports of late have been very salts
factory and that while the bacteria
count is dropping, the butter fat per-
centage is increasing. 1t stated that
five scarlet fever cases were report
ed during the month of January.
In the realm of the police court
fines for the month totalled 1885,
with a total of 45 cases heard, of
which 32 were for traffic violations
and the remaining 13 for drunken
ness. An interesting factor in the
water reports was tha5 TBS million
gallons of water were pumped for
city use during the month of De-
cember, which means that the daily
consumption averaged nearly mil
lion gallons daily.
The remainder of the session was
devoted to the transaction OF the
regular routine business.

If her sorority pets she "pets,

these things are not a bit shocking.
