The weather report that will be is
sued from the local government
weather bureau for the month will
show that May was a normal month
in respect to temperature. precipi-
tation and amount of sunshine, but
that the previous heat record was
broken on May 20, when the ther-
mometer registered 99.1 degrees.
The minimum temperature for the
month was A degrees In only one
other May in 26 years has there been
as high a minimum temperature re-
corded.
The rainfall for the month has
been 4.46 inches. This is AZ of an
inch below normal
The prevailing wind direction has
been from the south. The average

teen partially cloudy days and five

TO AN ASYLUM
Larimer Report on Condition of
Anna Minter.
EXOnerates Mrs. Sare and Ex-
Chief jenkins.

On the assumption that Anna Minter
who made sensational charges against
the police and Mrs. Della A Sare.
former police matron, in testimony
given in the county court recently, is
of unsound mind, Mrs. Sare does not
expect to make any particular effort
to defend herself.
Il have done all I could do for the
girl" Mrs. Sare said this morning II
was urged to make complaint against
her charging her with being insane
I presume that is the course 1 should
have taken.
The girl is out of her mind, and is
willing to say and swear to anything
that is suggested to her 1 am truly sor-
ry for her and wish that might be
able to help her.
This morning Mrs. tSare. accompanied
by a reporter for the State Journal
and Attorney H. G. Larimer together
with Kilma urs w. King and his sister,
Miss Kate King, visited the county
Jail and talked for awhile with the girl.
She repeated much the same story she
told on the witness stand earlier in
the week, declaring she had had i'm
proper relations with the police Off
GERS then mentioned, including the
chief. She declared that Mrs. Sare
knew about her actions but never did
anything, except to ''scold her a little
her to be a good girl
The girl declares she is 10 years old.
She spent four years in Beloit having
been paroled May 80, 1912. Since then
she has worked in various places in
and around Topeka.
H. G. Larimer. who Investigated the
affair, made a statement today in
which he exonerates Mrs. Sare and Ex-
Chief Jenkins from the girls charges,
The statement in part follows.
This morning Mr.. King, Miss King,
Mrs. Sare, Mr.. Bacon, Phil Wilson and
Judge N. B. Arnold met me at the
JAIL and in their presence, and in the
presence of Mrs. Abbott and Mr.. Ran
some, 1 questioned Anna Minter un-
til she went into a spasm of hysteria
and disclosed the fact that the esti-
mate of her mental condition as ex-
pressed by the board of control is the
correct one. The girl is a sexual per-
vert, absolutely without control of her
faculties upon that subject, and un-
worthy of belief. After Mrs. Abbott
had taken her from the room and
quieted her, I told Mrs. Abbott that
L would not examine her further. My
judgment is that she should be placed
in some hospital and not returned to
any school nor sent into any home,
until she has been cured. In any 9TH
er place she will continue to be a men
ace to society.
Il have no condemnation severe
enough for the policemen who would
do this thing as she has charged it;
but much as I dislike Mr.. Jenkins per-
Mrs. Sare upon any insane declaration

ANOTHER JAP NOTE.
Toxic Believes United States Has Not
Said Final Word.

Toxic. May 31.-Another note from
the Japanese government dealing with
the questions arising out of the re-
cent California alien land ownership
legislation is to be forwarded shortly
to Washington.
The idea that the United States has
not said her final word is prevalent
here, and it is intimated in authorita-
tive circles by inference that no Off
c;al action is to be initiated yet by
Japan.

purpose of cooperating with the Jap

to reach a permanent solution of the

by change in naturalization laws.

SCHOOL DENTISTS
Experts Teach Mouth Hygiene
i'm New York City.
Nearly 100000 Children Needed
Dental Treatment.

New York, May 31.-Ip response to an
invitation issued by the committee or
ganizing the fourth international con-
gress on school hygiene, the various
dental associations of America are TAX
ing an active part in the plans for this
health congress, which will be held at
Buffalo the last week in August for the
purpose of considering all questions re-
lating to the health and efficiency of
school children.
Dental inspection in the public schools
is one of the measures advocated by
many of the leading dental associations
of the country. Dental clinics have al
ready been established in a number of
the prominent cities, but the need of
according to statistics furnished by
health officers as we'll as school officials.
A current bulletin issued by the New
York city department of health, points
out the conditions in that city. The
department announces the opening of
six dental clinics for school children.
These clinics are maintained in con-
nection with those already esta bliShed,
which have for the past year provided
medical and surgical treatn ent for dis
eases of the eye, the nose and the
throat The budget schedule for 1913
one supervising dentist and nine staff
dentists. These dentists are now on
duty.
Since the department inaugurated
the physical examination of children in
public schools, according to the bull
letin, it has been increasingly evident
that dental defects are not only more
prevalent than other physical defects,
but that the facilities for free dental
treatment are absolutely inadequate to
provide any relief for the situation. APP
proximately so per cent all the chill
dren examined have been found to have
decayed teeth. In other words there
are today, 100000 public school children
in New York city alone in urgent need
of dental reatment-statiStics which
seem to bear on the statement made
by DR.. Luther H. Gulick. who estimated
that 40 per cent of the absences in
New York city were due to toothache
Similar conditions showing the need
of dental treatment reported
throughout the country, and with a
view OF having these conditions reme-
died. the various dental associations
are now lending their aid in behalf Of
the Buffalo congress. A special session
will be devoted at Buffalo to a discus
sion on mouth hygiene, dental clinics
and other matters relating to school
boys and their toothaches Ahe exhib-
its Of this particular division will in
clude among other things the motion
picture film, entitled TOOthache.

THREE BOY BANDITS CAUGHT
They Had Held Up Is in an
Athletic Club.
Street Duel and Two Shot
Policeman Kills an Officer.

New York, May 31.-Three boys un-
der II years of age are under arrest
today as bandits who, with pistols in
hand, invaded the Trojan athletic
club up town last night and lined up
Is young men for robbery. Several of
the victims who refused to hold up
their hands were punched in the face.
The pistols kept them from punching
back. In all the young bandits got
nearly $500 worth of jewelry and
money. They had barely backed out
OF the club rooms to dart away when
an alarm was sounded and the police
fell upon them.
Two mysterious street shootings oc-
Cured early today. AS a result of one
of them. Charles Hubbard, a prize
fighter known as Jumbo Wells is
dying at the New York hospital.
He was shot nine times, apparently
in a duel with an unknown man. A
taxicab in which Hubbard, another man
and woman were riding left an all
night restaurant on Broadway for
trip to Chinatown. At 38th street, the
cab was stopped and the two men
stepped out armed with pistols. While
the woman looked on they exchanged
shots until Hubbard fell. His opponent,
believed to Lave also been wounded
got into the cab with the woman and
disappeared De1ore witnesses could call
the police. Hubbard is an Australian
fighter who came to this country sew
eral years ago. He has appeared in
most of the local clubs but has never
won any important bouts.
Police Patrolman William Barry

was afterwards found to be also wear
ing police shield. Barry said he saw
the stranger shooting wildly into the
air on Tenth avenue this morning. He
shot to frighten the man but struck
him above the left eye killing him. The

Eighty Counties Will Have
Delegates at Meeting.
D. R. ANTHONY ENDORSES PLAN
Several Delegations VIII Bring
Bands With Them.
WyandOtte County Sends Full
List of Delegates.

Delegations from at least so of the
los counties and an out of town crowd
of about 1000 is the prediction of Sen-
ator James A. Troutman for the har-
mony meeting to be held in Topeka next
Tuesday. Several of the county dele
cations have chartered special cars
and the Wyandotte county crowd is
planning to come to Topeka Tuesday
morning on a special train and accom~
panied by a brass band.
Many of the delegates to the cons
vention will arrive in Topeka Monday
night, while the remainder of the crowd
is expected Tuesday morning. The cons
vention will be held in the Auditorium
At IL o'clock Tuesday morning the deli
egates will meet and perfect their Or
ganization. The real meeting will be at
2 o'clock in the afternoon, with a night
session at which many men prominent
in Kansas political affairs will discuss
the harmony movement and the politi-
cal outlook in the state and nation.
Congressman d. r. Anthony, of Leav-
enwOrth, will come to Topeka Monday
after. In a letter to Senator Trout
man today, Anthony endorsed the get
together plan in this language:
Il am heartily in favor of the har-
mony movement in Kansas. 1 likewise
endorse the action of the Chicago cons
convention should not only be composed
of delegates elected on a basis of actual
Republican and Progressive votes, cast
in the last presidential election, but our
party should go further and commit
itself to apportioning representation in
congress on a basis of population en-
titled to suffrage.
i have been in Atchison, Brown and
Nemaha counties during the last week
and 1 find that the rank and file of both
the factions of the Republican party
are anxious for harmony. We can
never satisfy every radical on both
sides and if we will eliminate the DID
sore spots and antagonistic elements
and nominate a live ticket of state
candidates-men who can be relied
upon to really represent the people
the rejuvenated Republicans of Kan
sas will at next years election llake
a clean sweep of the state. That is my
honest opinion.
Since returning to Kansas, Congress-
man Anthony has repeatedly declared
that the two factions in the Republic
can party can be reunited in manner
that will bring success in 1914.
Lists of delegates and alternateS
from Wyandotte county were sent to
Senator Troutman this morning. The
Wyandotte crowd plans to come to To-
peka on a special train and will prob
ably bring a brass band, according to
announcement.
