WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—Two broken- hearted women, one the mother and the other the sweetheart of Lieutenant Sid- ney R. Burbank, who was convicted of deserting his Filipino wife, left Washing- ton today for their home in Kansas. Lieu- tenant Burbank is now a prisoner in frons on his way across the Pacific to serve out his term of imprisonment. He was also dishonorably dismissed from the army. President Roosevelt approved the findings of the court-martial which tried Burbank and the records in the case were made public at the War Department today. When Burbank went to the Philippines 'he met Concepcion Vasquez, a Filipino woman, whom the court declared he had Z KING EDWARD NEEDS AID OF CANE T0 WALK Injury Received Some Time Ago Cripples Him for Life. Special Dispatch to The Call LONDON, Feb. 23.—For the rest of his life King Edward will never walk with- out the aid of a cane. While shooting in ‘Windsor Forest last November the King fell and broke the great tendon which connects the heel with the calf of the leg. This was learned today from an authen- tic source. It was announced at first that the King had sprained his ankle. The King Is 65 years of age,.and nature even with most skillful assistance cannot completely repair the broken tendon of a man of that age. Leaning on a stick, King Edward walks very slowly and with a pronounced limp. He limps because the impaired tendon caunot perfectly extend his foot. His Majesty leaned heavily on a crutch han- dled cane when he opened Parliament. He could not arise from the throne until the cane was handed to him.

While passing through a narrow defile near | Santo Tomas, in the mountains of North- | the men were fired upon | ern Mexico, from a point in Pajarito Pass, where the robbers had entrenched themselves. Two of the Mexicans fell dead on the spot. William Smith, who led the party, or- dered his men Yo return the fire, and in the battle which followed another mem- ber of Smith's party was killed. Smith | was seriously wounded, but after a des- perate struggle with managed to separate the pack rhule from his assailants he | FLAMES WIPINC PLUNAS TOWN OFF THE EARTH Fire Raging in -Beck- with Strews Ruin in Its Path. Epecial Dispatch to The Call RENO, Feb. 22.—The town of Beckwith, in Plumas County, is in flames and at last reports will be almost entirely wiped off the earth. Telephone communication between Beckwitn and outside towns is disconnected as a result of the flames and the reports brought 16 Sierraville and thence to Reno are very meager. It has been learned, however, that the fire started yesterday afternoon in the Owl saloon. A high wind was blowing and as the town has no adequate fire fighting apparatus the flames rapidly spread, and. aided by the gale, swept on and burned everything before them. The inhabitants of the town made a futile fight against the flames.. The water sup- ply from the wells was practically all the water at hand, and this was about ef- fective as a garden hose In a live volcano. According to last reports from Beck- m | married and who bore him a son. Not- withstanding these developments the Kansas woman was loyal to Burbank and promised to marry him after he had cleared himself from the charge. The | | marriage will not occur, as the court has held that Burbank is legally married to the Filipino woman. Burbank denied that Concepcion Vas- quez was his wife or that the child was | with, before the communication was cut off by the burning of the telephone appa- ratus, the following buildings were de- stroyed: Three stores, one hotel, one blacksmith shop, nine salooms, two churches, one schoolhouse. The fire was reaching out to the residence portion. which, at last reports, appeared to be doomed. No one would make an estimate of the the others in the train, thereby saving the money from the bandits. Smith was pursued for miles while a veritable hail of bullets fell around him. Upon reaching a place of safety he gave the alarm and then only did his pursuers turn from their purpose.

When last heard from White was in Chicage and wrote friends at St. Louis that he intended to go to San Francisco. A former chum, Fred Spiess. a barber, ‘whe went to San Francisco about a year ago and at the time when White expected to reach there, has written St. Louls friends that White has never shown up there.
