Paris, July 14.-Paris today cele-
brated the most inspiring fourteenth
of July in her history. Today is the
anniversary of the day on which the
French people ended monarchical ty-
ranny by battering in the walls of the
Bastile. The day was given over to
street balls, carnivals and banquets
and fireworks-a great spectacular
demonstration.
Today a single magnificent cere-
mony,-significant of the new spirit
of France and the sacred unity of all
classes-was held.
Honor Ashes of Composer.
At this morning. the ashes of
Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, the
French captain who composed per-
haps the most inspiring national song
the world has ever heard, lie Marseil-
laise, arrived in Paris from their
former resting place at Choisy lie Rog.
At 10 o'clock, in one of the greatest
and most impressive corteges Europe
ever saw, the ashes were born from
the Arc de Triumphe to the Hotel
DeS InvalideS along the avenue des
Champs Elysees, across the Alexander
bridge to the Esplanade, between side
walks packed with hundreds of thou
sands of bareheaded people.
Only the soft sobbing of women
broke the impressive silence that sig
nified best of all the new France that
is emerging from the world war. Men
stood with barred heads
Poincaire Makes Speech.
The ashes reposed on caisson of a
cannon of the first republic, draped
with flags. Behind came ar escort OF
cavalry and then the carriages bear
ing President Poincaire, members of
the cabinet, senator's and other nota-
bles. A parade on the Esplanade fol-
lowed the arrival of the remains at the
hotel Des Invalides.
President Poincaire made a brief
pressed about the building. Many
tended the final ceremony.
Until 5 o'clock this afternoon the
people of Paris were permitted to file
ashes of LIE Marseillaise's composer.
England Observes BastiIe Day.
London, July 14.-Celebration of

Gaby Deslys, attired in brilliant
tri-colored gown, conducted a stall in

The Troubles of Wyandotte
Politicians Are Increasing.
A Suit of Custer Is Filed
Against L. e. Lyons.
ACTION AGAINST HARRY DEAN
Charges Against Both Men Are
Full of Sensations.
Situation Aggravated by Fact
That They Are Enemies.

More trouble descended today on
the heads of N\yandotte county poll
ticians when ~ is were filed in the
Wyandotte county district court seek
ing the custer of Timothy E. Lyons,
county commissioner; and action to
recover $2,420 from Harry E. Dean,
former secretary of the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition commission. Lyons
and Dean are faithful and ardent per
sonal snd political enemies. Dean
viii personally aid in the prosecution
of Lyons and Lyons has indicated that
he is willing to employ a lawyer to
assist in the prosecution of Dean.
The filing of the suits in Wyandotte
county is the direct result of investi-
cations started several months ago by
S. NJ. Brewster, attorney general. The
cases are brought by County Attorney
MeekS. It was not until after MeekS
had been summoned to Topeka to talk
with Brewster that he saw the light
and showed more than passing inter
est in the cases.
Charges against Timothy Lyons con-
Germ his official record. In the petit
ton seeking his custer from office as
county commissioner it is charged
that he has been derelict >of duty,
guilty of misconduct in office and has
appropriated public property to his
own use.
Charges Against Lyon.
When a recent investigation of the
Lyons charges was held in Topeka,
Topeka, County Auditor Worthington
appeared before Governor Capper to
tell of the alleged misconduct of
Lyons. He asserted that Lyons had
sent to his farm in Anderson county
certain cattle belonging to Wyandotte
county and that he had also appropri-
ated to his own use building materials
owned by the county.
In the case against Dean. it is
charged by the state that he was il
legally paid a salary of 81, 420 while
acting as secretary of the Panama
Pacific Exposition commission. The
first charges against Dean were aired
during the recent legislative session.
Gossip in political circles is to the
effect that Lyons and his friends were
behind the Dean investigation. On the
other hand, Dean and his followers
have been looking for Lyons's scalp
with a knife and lantern. The men
have been recognized as bitter political
enemies, although both are Demo-
Gratis.
In the case against Lyons Dean will
appear as an attorney of record for
the state. And as evidence of appre-
citation the Lyons following may be
expected to offer any possible as
sistance in compelling Dean to return
the $2.420 to the state. In fact, it is
asserted. Lyons might be induced to
go so far as to offer the services of a
private attorney to help prosecute the
Dean case.
Petitions in both the Dean and
Lyons cases were filed today in the
Wyandotte district court

Protest to Great Britain.

of Meat Men With Lansing

Washington, July 14-After con-
ferences with representatives of the
leading American meat packers today,
state department officials said formal
representations would be made to
Great Britain for the release of nu-
trail meat cargoes detained by British
naval authorities. The character Of
the representations has not oeen de-
cided.
Representatives of the meat pack
ers met at the state department today
in another effort to adjust their cases.
The delegation was headed by Arthur
Meeker of Armour & Co. Eight rnp-
resentatives of the packing houses ex-
planned that at the end of their last
conference here in March they expect
ed that the situation would be settled
and their expectation had not oeen re-
allied. In the prize court of London
their cases were postponed on June
6 and still are awaiting adjournment.
The packers say they have been en-
barrassed by the British censors with
holding matter bearing on their pre-
sentatiOn of the case.

Arms to Carranza; None to
Villa and Zapata.

Washington, July 14.-Al1 accounts
from Mexico strengthened the convic-
ton here today that General Car
rama will be recognized by the Wash
ington administration.
Officialdom admitted that his course,
following his forces capture of Mex
leo City, has been an agreeable sur
prise to them. There was no denial
that some of his past methods had
led the administration to doubt his
ability even to temporarily control
Mexican affairs.
Carranza Wins Favor.
With the fall of the capital, how
mittedly was looked on here with the
highest favor. Not only did he show
a disposition to restore order, but he
gave signs of ability actually to do it.
That he would have some further
trouble with Villa and Zapata was
considered inevitable. Official intima-
ton was given that this would not be
ground for Withholding recognition
from him. By allowing him to receive
ammunition and Withholding it from
Villa and Zapat>- it was thought the
difficulty could be solved.
Villas Star Is Falling.
His agency here continued to report
activity by General Villa between
Leon and Irapuato, but it was believed
his campaign was on its last legs.
Messages from Vera Cruz said Gen
eral Carranza would inf1ict dire pun
ishment upon the Zapatistas who
killed Swiss, the only foreigner who
lost his life during the evacuation OF
the City of Mexico.

FRAME UP RACE?
Johnny Evers Makes Grave
Charges Against Magnates.
He Accuses Umpires of ssWork-

Boston, Mass, July 1.-THE Bos-
ton American prints the following:
They are trying to get the crowds
out; they've ordered a close race
So loudly shouted Johnny Evers,
captain of the Boston Braves, from
the ball field at Fenway park Mon
day afternoon.
Evers made his speech at the
end of the seventh inning in the clos
ing contest with the st. Louis Cardi-
mails, after Chief Umpire Rigler de-
clared Bob Bescher safe at the plate
on a close decision. The verdict cost
the Braves the game.
They're trying to get the crowds
out; they've ordered a close race
Trojan John shouted-not only once,
but three or four times Leave 'em
alone, boys; they're only following
out instructions"
Umpires Rigler and Hart glared at
Evers, but allowed him to express his
opinion of current happenings in the
National league without calling him
or running him out of the game.
Several hundred fans plainly heard
Evers's remarks and a handful or more
forcibly applauded him as he finally
strutted down into the Braves dugout.

CROPS STILL GOOD
Prospects for Billion Bushel
Wheat Yield Continue
Growing Cereal Has Favorable
Week Over Belt

ashington, July 14-Prospects
for the billion bushels wheat crop con-
tinued to grow during the week end
ed yesterday. Spring wheat had the
most favorable week of the season
over much of the belt, and the outlook
everywhere is most promising.
The national weather and crop bull
1etin announced today that winter
wheat, however, had had unfavora BILE
weather and harvesting had been de-
layed in the important producing sec
tions by rain, much ripe wheat bein 9
still uncut In southern portions of
the belt and Pacific coast states har-
vesting is progressing satisfactorily
and good yields are reported.
Corn was favored with conditions
somewhat better than during the pre-
ceding weeks, but is being retarded in
the more northern portions of the
belt. Elsewhere however, it made
more rapid growth and is reported tas-
selling as far north as Central Kan
sas, with prospects of an excellent
crop, largely assured further south
Rain is delaying harvesting of oats
in some sections and promising too
heavy growth and rust in others, but
on the whole the crop outlook con-
tinued excellent.
