TWINS STEAL ANOTHER HORSE


The theft of a fourth horse and
buggy Sunday resulted in the return
of the Durbin twins-Ralph and Rob
ert-to the county detention home
Ralph, said to be the instigator of
the thefts, will be held in the home
again for a while. or until the officers
can decide what to do with him, ac-
cording to T. D. Williams, county pro-
baton officer
The boys are only seven years old,
and live at HOP North Jackson street.
The mania to possess a horse has led
them to steal four, and possibly more,
according to officers. When the third
theft occurred few days ago, Ralph
was imprisoned in the detention
home for three days. He cried almost
constantly during that time and the
officers believed the punishment
would cure him. But he had not
been out long until another horse was
reported stolen.
The twins readily admit the thefts
when they are picked up by the Of
ficers, and state that they cannot re-
sist the temptation to own an old
Dobbin. Their father is unable to buy
them one. The boys never steal any
thing but horses, according to the Of
ficerS.

says:
The total number of volumes cir

ing to pat down this young mans

toni Each hair indicates flow of
static electricity which, while CIV

Static electricity, produced by
several revolving parallel glass

TRY FOG FOR A SCREEN.
just as Effective as Smoke, and
Cheaper, Says L. s. Navy.


Washington, May 29.-Having eorig-
mated the first smoke screen ever
used by any navy, the American navy
is now developing new smoke screen.
Instead of the dense black smoke,
used by the German navy in esca ping
the British fleet in the battle of Jut
land, the new-fangled American
screen for ship operations is to be
dense fog and made at a considerable
saving of money.
In disclosing the navy departments
experiments with the new fog screen,
Rear Admiral Robinson, chief of the
bureau of engineering, told a senate
committee that it was believed the fog
screen would be even more impene-
trable thap the old black smoke
clouds. The latter are made by feed
ing too much fuel in the ship boilers.
This. Admiral Robinson said, was
costly. wasting fuel and fouIng boiler
tubes In some case it weakened
boiler walls and was dangerous. he
said. The engineering bureau now is
perfecting plans to make the fog
screen by feeding oil above the boil
ers, just below the smoke outlets, and
Admiral Robinson said the expert
ments so far justify belief that the,
new fog screen will be more effective
and less costly.

RUSSIAN EXPORTS on RISE.
NO Definite Statement as to Produc

Moscow, May 29-Soviet Russia s
foreign trade department has no def
mite statement TO make as to what
products il has on hand for export
from Russia this summer, but the de-
partmental manager has told the cor
respondent that the exports of 1922
would greatly exceed those of last year
Petroleum from the Baku fields is
expected to be exported in consider

CASE UNDER AMUSEMENT
Mrs. Title Hardesty Asks for Divorce
and Part of Property.

/ Judge George Whitcomb in the dis
trict court Saturday afternoon took
under advisement the suit brought by
| Mrs Ti1lie Hardesty. 22S East Eighth
avenue. TIC obtain a divorce from
Frank Hardesty, wealthy Usage coun-
| ty farmer, and share of his property.
Attorneys in the case were given a
limited time to file briefs.
Mrs. Hardesty alleges in her petit
ton that her husbands estate is worth
more than $3.50, 900. Hardesty charged
divorce action awaiting the death of
his mother, Mrs. Lovina Hardesty
who died April %. 1921 leaving her
son about 1000 acres of Usage county
land, in addition to some bank stock
and other securities. Hardesty al
Ieges that he owes practically every
thing he is worth
The domestic troubles of the Hard
estys first came to light in 1914 when
Mrs. Hardesty sued for separate main
tenance. receiving the decree in the
Usage county district court in 1915.
Later she sued Cora Harris, a Topeka
woman, for alienation of affections.
Turnout the court records during the
last seven years, the name of Cora
Harris appears as being responsible
for the matrimonial troubles of the
HardeStyS.
In June, 1917, Hardesty went to
Memo, New, and filed suit for divorce.
but lost the case. His wife charges
that Mrs. Harris accompanied him at
that time and that they lived together
as man and wife in California and
elsewhere. Then the Usage county
farmer came back to Usage county
and in 1920 started another divorce
suit in the district court here The
case was dismissed. Mrs. Hardesty
had been allowed 500 a month ali
mony and several hearings were held
in Usage county and here for increases
and decreases of the allowance.
The next chapter was written a year
ago when Helen Maude Harris, 15-
year-old adopted daughter of Cora
Harris, sued Hardesty for $4,000, al
leging that he alienated her foster
mothers affections from her and
broke up her home. This suit was
thrown out by Judge George Whit
comb in the Shawnee county district
court on the ground that the girls
petition did not state a Sufficient
cause of action. Last July Mrs. Hard
esty filed her suit for divorce.
The division of the property, and
not the decree of divorce, is the bone
of contention in the case. Attorneys
for Hardesty admitted in open court
Saturday that Mrs. Hardesty is en-
titled to a divorce.
