MRS. INCH'S ANKLES ARE NOW HID IN CELL
Woman Who "Vamped" Jury
 Yesterday Is Locked Up

New York, March 1f.--Weeping and pleading that her mothers life might hang upon the courts action, Mrs. Betty Inch. who is being re- tried before Justice Davis and a jury in the criminal branch of the sll- preme court on charge of attempt ed extortion from Eugene P.

 The first real stir was created in the court room when Mrs. Herman, wife of the. complainant tainted Tn the witness chair when under severe cross examination by William J. Fai lon. counsel for the defendant, Coun sel and court attendants started uuicklv toward the sweoning witness. but found themselves barred by the boarding put up around the stand to prevent the jurors getting a. glimpse of Mrs. Inch's now famous ankles.

 Mrs Inch appeared early in the court room, smiling brightly. Seating herself by her attorneys, she crossed her knees under the table in na- turaI comfortable manner, and 1t 1 inm ediately became evident that the ! fence around the witness stand would 1 deprive the jurors of a view of her i ankles only when she is testlfylng. 1 Yesterday these ankles were clad in l black silk hose.

WEATHER IN MAY
Wettest Month of Ycar-With
Plenty of Sunshine-Is Outlook.

May is the wettest month of the
year in Kansas, but it is also blessed
with more sunshine than any previous
month of the year and its tempera-
lures come nearer being those of sum-
mer than spring. This combination
of abundant moisture, warmth and
sunshine produces the crop growth
that has made Kansas famous.
At Topeka the normal mid-after-
noon temperature rises from 20 de-
grees the fore part of this month to
7S degrees the latter part, but night
temperatures, especially the fore part,
are sometimes uncomforta bly, close to
freezing. In the 80 years the local
weather record has been kept the
highest May temperature on record is
SO degrees on May 20, 1913, and the
lowest 80 degrees on May 10, 1888.
Killing frOsts have occurred locally
during five previous Mays in 1888,
1907, 1909, 1917 and 1918. Frost this
late in the season, especially if it has
| been an early spring, makes it neces-
sary to replant early gardens and corn
and diminishes the yield of potatoes
Strawberries are also injured badly by
, it and on the rare occasions the tenn
perature has dropped as low as freez-
ing apples and cherries have been
killed.
The normal rainfall for May at To-
peka is 4.S8 inches, which is greater
than the May normal of almost any
Other part or the United States. Meas
urable rain falls on an average some
what oftener than every other day.
| The wettest May on record was 1892
when rain fell on 10 days of the month
and totaled 14.10 inches. The driest
| was in 1901, when only .54 inch fell
Snow has fallen at Topeka in one past
May, 1907, when there was 80 inches.
A warm, dry May is favorable for
corn as it causes the plant to make a
good root growth and permits of early
| cultivation. 1t is also fine for cutting
alfalfa, which begins early in the
| month in the southeastern counties
and spreads almost to the northwest
| ern counties by its close. Potatoes
require cool, wet weather In May, sim
| liar to that of May last year, but this
| kind of weather causes corn to lose
| its healthy color and make such a
| poor root growth it cannot resist
| drought later in the season Contin-
| ued wet ground prevents cultivation
| and permits undesira BILE weed growth.
| Frequent rains also cause a great dam
age to alfalfa, which must have sew
eral days of drying sunshine to cure
| this time of the year.
| Wheat generally heads early in the
| month in the southern counties and
| is favored by a warm. sunshiny May,
| but this crop is not liable to be dam
| aged by any kind of May weather ex-
| cept excessively high temperatures the
| latter part, which will shrivel the
/ grain. or exceedingly wet weather.

| stem rust, such occurred in 1904.

New York, April 3O.-The Yankee

The club has played three games
and has lost two of them. Twice they
were pitted against practically unbeat-
able pitching and once came out vic

against Jing johnson, young Athletics
pitcher, but failed to make more than
one run. Ernie Shore, a Yankee ace,
was compelled to stand around and
watch the Athletics pound him all
over the lot, seven runs finally being
showed across.
Duffy Lewis, once pride of the Bos-
ton Red SoX outfield and expected to
be one of the heaviest gunners on the
staff of the club, has cleaned only one
hit in his three games. One would
think to take a look at the batting

thing they could do is hit. From top
to bottom the batting order presents

first defeat of the year when Harry

showing they haven't forgot how. In
the National league, the Cincinnati
Reds are showing spring time form
and are leading the league thru
BroOklyn's loss yesterday and their
own defeat of the Pirates. The Reds

club, he has an excellent chance of

CORN STILL DROPS

experts to mean a general loosening

the situation in corn and other prod

JUDGE DENIES IT
Knew of No Conspiracy Against
Franklin Co. Farmer.
Typographical Error Involved
the Short Family.

So far as he was aware, there was
no conspiracy in the insanity COM
plant brought against ]. S. Howard of
Ottawa, it was declared in a statement
made today by F. NJ. Short, probate
judge of Franklin county. Judge
Short stated that he merely sat in the
hearing in his official capacity; that
he appointed the two physicians. w.
r. Pennington of Kansas City and
Alexander Haggart of Ottawa. and.
that all proceedings were carried out
in a legal manner.
Judge Short was named as defend
ant in a suit to collect $4,000 filed
here in the federal court Tuesday by
Howard, who is reputed to be
wealthy Franklin county farmer, and
who charges his entire family with
| conspiring to have him put in an in
sane asylum in order that he might
not defeat their plans to have Grim
/ inal operation performed on his I'M
married daughter.
| Did Not Know of Daughter.
Judge Short stated that neither he
nor his family were acquainted with
! the Towards except in legal way.
| He said that at the time of the hear
| ing, in which Howard was declared in
sane the patient made 10 protest
whatever. He said that no attorney
appeared to defend Howard and that
according to law it was his place to
| appoint one. He appointed John
/ Quin. a former county attorney Of
Franklins county, as counsel for the
| defense. he said, and declared that
| Quin was a thoroly reliable man and
| had done everything in his power to
win Towards case.
I Howard employed attorneys in KAN
sas City in bringing his case against
Judge Short. the physicians and all
| the members of the Howard family.
| A typographical error appeared in
| the State Journal last evening in
| which it was stated that Mrs. Short
was involved with the family in the
case, according to allegations. This
should have been Mrs. Howard" and
| not Mrs. Short. AS Judge Short says,
| Mrs. Short had nothing to do with the
incident and his family was not ac-
quainted with the Howard family.
This was purely a typographical error
and the Short family is due an apol-
ogy from the State Journal.
