ter was so convincing that Gray made
a trip to eastern Kansas to investigate.
But Gray was rewarded only with
wild. weird tale of mystery and no
facts. There was nothing to indicate
any connection with the De May case.
Letters to Gray have come from all
sections of the state. Several letters
also have been received from other
states. DR.. L. NJ. Perry. superintend-
ent of the Topeka hospital has had

HUN OFFICERS aid the TURKS
Nationalist Forces Attack French in
Southern Part of Asia Minor.

ConstantinopIe. Sept 21.-Turkish
nationalist forces in Southern Asia
minor are continuing their fight
against French troops of occupation
there. Ten thousand Turks and Arabs
are besieging Adana and others are
daily shelling Tarsus with old five
inch German guns operated by Ger
man officers who have been stranded
there since the armistice.
Frequent attacks are being made on
Mersina, an important seaport south
west of Adana, but they have been re-
pulsed by the fire from the guns of
French battleships in the harbor.
Americans in Adana have limited
food supplies, but distribute what they
can to 1000 persons daily. They have
so far failed to secure shipments from
Mersina. French military officials are
dealing diplomatically with the people
and are granting amnesty to former
residents of Adana, who wish to de-
sert the nationalists and return home.
Hand to hand fighting frequently
occurs at Adana, the French Sene-
galese and also the Turks and Arabs
cutting off the heads of the fallen to
be sure they are dead. There is no re-
port however, of torture being in
flicted.

pastor of st. GabriePs church.
When Father Burke reached the
church a mob estimated at 5000 was
packed about the doors and hundreds
more had already entered in the
search for the negroes. Forcing his
way in the priest shouted:
What is this sacrilege? Who are
the rowdies that storm the house Of
God?"
Some one explained.
That makes no difference" the
priest cried. This place is Sanctuary.

French Premier Given Ovation
by Chamber of Deputies.
Presents Resignation of Presi-
dent DeschaneI Today.
Miflerand, if Elected, Will Want
New Constitution.
Premier Wants French Presi-
dent to Have More Power.

Paris, Sept. 21.-Premier Alexander
Millerand was acclaimed enthusiast
tically as the next president when he
read the resignation of President
Deschanel to the chamber of depu-
ties today. All deputies rose to their
feet to join in the ovation.
President Raoul Peret of the cham
ber briefly expressed the sorrow of
the nation that DeschaneTs health
would not permit him to retain the
office. He eulogized Deschaners
works.
Caucuses Of a majority of the par
ties represented in the assembly today
designated Millerand as the universal
choice for the presidency. 1t is said
to be practically certain that Aristide
BRAND would be the next premier.
Wants New Constitution.
Revision of the French constitution
which will give greater stability to the
government and enlarge the electoral
college which chooses the president of
the republic will be attempted by Pre-
mier Millerand when he takes office
as president, according to the newspa-
perS here.
He would have the electoral college
include not only members of the two
houses of parliament but delegates
from locally elected bodies and from
great corporations.
NJ. Millerand also believes the presi-
dent should be less of a figurehead
than has been the rule in the past, and
that official should play a role Of con-
fident and cordial collaboration with
the government in office.
In other words, his idea would be
that the president should be like the
head of a stock company in which the
ministers would take the part of direc-
tors, and the premier the managing di-
rector. He is convinced, it is said, that
this plan would assure great continuity
and cohesion in the executive branch
lof the government
