Altho a Private, He Was En-
Wed by Many Officers.
HE WIRED PRESIDENTS HOTEL
Lived in Barbaric Splendor in
Luxurious HosteIry.
Frequently He Saw Lloyd
George and ''the Tiger"

Ben Bear, the buck private who
chinned with diplomats and sovereigns
of great allied powers, came back to
Topeka today with a red chevron on
the left arm of his olive drab uniform.
No chevrons adorned his right arm,
and no bars or leaves added to the
beauty of his sloping, athletic shoul-
ders, but Bear was a bear" when II
came to associating with the big men
who are making history at Paris.
Buck Private Bear enlisted in the
signal corps of the regular army and
had his preliminary training at Leav-
enworth. He didn't need very much
training, because he had previously
had many years experience with the
Bell Telephone company in Topeka;
He was sent overseas a year ago and
was stationed at Tours and several
other places.
Wired Presidents Hotel.
In December, President Wilson and
other noted American statesmen,
diplomats and economic experts, ar
rived in Paris with the intention of
remaining there until international af-
fairs were settled. The French gov
ernment donated to their use the fa-
nous Hotel Crillon, one of the mag
nificent buildings on the Place de la
Concorde.
The electric wiring in the hotel a la
France, was not just what Colonel
House and others desired, so an S. o.
s. call was sent to the signal corps Of
the army Tor group of experts. Bear
was one of those selected, and he went
to Paris and took complete charge of
the wiring of the hotel. with the title
OF chief wireman. He was still buck
private in the army, however
Bear remained in Paris from De-
cember until May. He lived in almost
barbaric splendor in a luxurious hotel
on one of the charming Partisan
boulevards. and every day when to the
rather elaborate suite of offices for a
private, second class. Many a colonel
or a brigadier- would have enYied Pri-
vate Bear If they could have seen him
seated at his mahogany desk directing
a score or more electricians in the
daily routine of work.
Real Partisan, Too.
In the Hotel CriHon. such men as
Clemenceau. Lloyd George. Balfour,
White, President Wilson, M. Pichon,
| Marshal Foch, General Pershing,
! Sergt. Mai Bob Beine, Bonar Law,

Bear is a true Partisan. Many of

he was acquainted with every niche
and corner of the metropolis. He can

knows all the famous paintings in the

Walter Z. Wilson Criticised for

the Kansas State bank at Salina are

double liability, according to word re-
ceived in Topeka: Their promised
fight will be directed upon the office
of Walter E. Wilson. state bank COM

They claim Wilson knew the condition
of the bank and should have closed
it before he did.

heads of three departments at the
state house all during the morning.

their threatened fight on the double

In state circles the apparent escape
of Lefferdink despite the fact that it
was known affairs were not running
smoothly long in advance of the
actual closing of the institution is
causing criticism. Wilson's promised
statement is looked upon hopefully as
a Qualification of the air of mystery
envoloping the affair. Wilson stated
this morning that Col. Fred r. Fitz-

Berlin, May 17.-Disposition of the
property of the former emperor and
the former crown prince is claiming
the attention of the finance ministry
of the new republic. "A commission
has been appointed to determine what
may properly be considered private
and what holdings may properly be
looked upon as belonging to the state.
The order creating the commission
provides for a thoro search of real es-
tate records for the purpose of deter
mining the title and says the findings
must be placed before the national as
sembly so that proper disposition may
be made of the lands and palaces
which the government will take over.
Already there is some discussion on
this point. Nearly all of the emper-
ors' castles and palaces are now being
used for public purposes. those in Ber-
lin being occupied by public officials
Potsdam palace has become a hospital
In other districts they are being util-
lied as barracks for troops as in the
case of some of the crown princes

emperor's palace in Berlin shall be-
come a museum for the ministry of
arts and sciences in which will be
gathered the art objects now in all the
royal palaces.
Just what will be done with the re-
mainder of the emperor's fortune, it is
stated. will not be determined until

WHEAT HARVEST LATE
Both Knnsas and Oklahoma Crops
Arc Ripcn.ng Slowly.

The agricultural department of the
Santa Fe railway today received Off
cial word from the Oklahoma state
board Of agriculture that the harvest
of Oklahoma wheat will be delayed
ten days or two weeks.
This will mean that harvesting of
Kansas wheat will he retarded also.
Dklahomas rainfall has been almost
as great this year as that Of Kansas,
and the nearest estimate of the har-
vest in the state to the south is that
1t will begin about June Is. That is,
providing that the sun is kind enough
to shine down on the broad acres of
that state.
The need of hot weather is becom-
ing more and more apparent every
day. The great wheat belt, extending
from the Dakotas and Minnesota

sary. and respite from the wet

TREE SPECIALIST HERE
State Expert to Topeka To Aid in
Saving Shade.

The first guns in the campaign to
discover what is the matter with trees
dying in Topeka and to find some
method to combat the trouble will get
into action soon, said Commissioner
Robert D. McGiffert this morning,
when Prof. George A. Dean of Man
haitian arrives here the latter part of
this week or the first of next week to
go to work on the problem.
Prof George A. Dean is the head of
the chronological department of the
Kansas State Agricultural college at
Manhattan. McGiffert received a let
ter from Dean this morning stating
that the specialist would be able to
come to Topeka within q few days to
see if he could tell what should be
done to obviate the trouble.
The question first came up when c.
c. Merriam. president of the Chamber
of Commerce. brought to the attention
of the park department the fact that
borers. other insects or some sort of
tree disease was killing the trees on
his property. He had a tree special
ist working on the trees in an effort
to preserve them. The specialist sug-
gested spraying them. However
when it was found that the city pos
sessed tree spraying machine Super
intendent Reinisch stated that spray
ing the trees would not do any good
in killing the borers. Reinisch says
that they must be gassed.

cannot put meat on a pre-war price

declaration of great European de-
mand. He said only hasty action in
remedying the worlds shipping needs
and arrangement of an adequate
credit system will prevent starvation
in Europe.
Beef may come down after while.

Temperatures Below Normal Three
Weeks-LittIc Sunshine.

May just closed was remarkable for
the prevalence of moderately cool,
damp, partly cloudy weather at To-
peka, but broke no records as shown
by the detailed summary that will be
issued by the weather bureau in the
morning.
Temperatures were below normal
almost continually the first, three
weeks and above the last week.
making the mean for the month aver
age degrees below normal. The
highest recorded was 81 on the 29th
and the lowest A on the End. Only
one other May has passed without a
higher temperature on at least one
day and very few without one morning
colder than the coolest of this month
There was but one frost, a light one on
the 9Th, and it didano damage what
ever.
The total rainfall, 2sS inches up to
noon of the last day, was only a little
the month. but there was a super
abundance in the ground most of the
time. The heaviest downpour was
1.30 inches on the morning of the
18th.
The amount of sunshine was some
what less than is usual for the time
of the year, tho there were only three
days classed as cloudy, but just the
same the month was favored with
more sunshine than any other since
last January.
The weather was fine for wheat,
pastures and the hay crops. Corn
planting was delayed somewhat by
wet fields. but was practically cem-
pleted before the month closed and
considera Bile was coming up. Wheat
mostly headed out. Cutting alfalfa
began, but curing it was difficult
owing to The lack of warm, sunshiny
weather. Gardens and potatoes did
fine. Strawberries ripened and cher
ries began to turn the last few days.
