THEY MAY PROTECT QUAIL.
Farmers Declare Birds save Money by
War on Insects.


Wichita, Kan. July 25.-Quails are
the most numerous in Sedgwick coun-
ty in years. The focks of quail are
larger. Rarely more than ten or a
dozen quail have been seen in one
flock in former years. This year the
number reaches as many as fourteen
and eighteen. The farmers attribute
the unusual number to the fact that
no destroying floods swept away the
nests this year and that the dry season
was entirely favorable to both species
of birds.
Farmers are threatening. however

Washington. Jan. 2l.-Senators who
shoes Of Nelson W. Aldrich as republic
can leader Of the senate are beginning
to realize that a comparative newcomer
among them is likely to take over the
job for himself Senator Cummins OF
Iowa, 1t Is recognized, has strong
lead in the race, and unless combine
is formed against him the chances are
he will be the leader Of the reorganized
senate after March 4.
Senator Cummins Is known as pro-
gressive. but he is not as radical as
La Toilette is. The conservatives whose
old leaders are retiring and the pro-
gressives who have demonstrated their
strength are expected to draw closer
together after the coming changes, and
Cummins is in a better position to lead
the new coalition than any other sena-
tor.
Neither Gallinger. Lodge. Penrose nor
Smoot, who are believed to be am
bilious to take Aldrich's place, could
hold a following together. These sena.
tors held high places under the AL
drich regime, and except for the
changes that are at hand, one OF them
undoubtedly would succeed to his place.
but with the infusion Of new blood In
the senate the building up Of an organi-
cation such as the old leaders had per-
fected In their long years Of service IS
something which none who is left can
hope to accomplish.
Cummins has been a frequent visitor
to the white house lately and 1t Is be-
lieved the president Is favorably dis
posed toward the plan to make the
Iowa senator the party spokesman IN

lieved, would like to see more united
