FATHER FAILS IN
 FIGHT FOR SON
President Declines to Interfere
 in Th0mpSOn'S Execution

Washington, Feb. 10 PS--Advlsed that he has lost long light 10 save his son from hanging as murderer. the Rev. J. Milton Thompson, Pres bytcrian minister, has returned 10 his home at Far Rockaway, x. T.. without the executive clemency he had hoped 10 obtain from President Coolidge.
 The son Is Second Lieutenant John V. Thompson, who pleaded guilty 10 killing his sweetheart, Au- drey Burleigh, IS year old Memphis girl, in the Philippines last spring.
 President Coolidge has approved the death sentence imposed by the army court martial. It vas 10 make a final appeal in his sons behalf that his father came to Washington 10 urge the president to set aside the courts verdict.
 For long time the elder Thomp- son waged lone fight to prove that his sons act was the result Of here ditary insanity. He obtained from Q number of the officers classmates at West Point, where he was gradu- ated in 1924, 10 show that he vas unbalanced. Finally. Mir, Thompson enlisted the services of Senator Wadsworth and Representative Kin drcd, republicans, New York, and Charles D. Illes, republican national committeeman from that state. l Through them also his plea was l transmitted to the White House, asking for clemency on the ground that the young officer was insane.
 Lieutenant Thompson shot and killed Miss Burleigh when she was on visit 10 her step-father, an ot- ilcer in the army medical corps in the Philippines. He had duarreled with the girl because she had taken part in an amateur theatrical, and then fired five shots at her. He sur rendered to the military authorities, pleaded guilty at the trial and the death sentence followed.
 The elder Thompson. whose wifo and lT year old daughter are in Far Rockaway, has not seen his son since the shooting.

Quickly and surely, it kills pain, reduces swell ing and inflammation, drives out stiff ness from lame muscles. Clean and oa2y to use. All druggists-35 cents.

Long before municipalities and government bureaus had established weather stations, individuals here and there were measuring the per iodical falls of rain, These yearly figures have been gathered by the state department of health and to- day play an important part in supplying accurate statistics on which to base computations and pre- dictions of the amounts Of water which may he available for rescr- voirs during the dry periods.
