HESSIAN FLY In WHEAT
All of Northeastern Kansas Along Kaw
Is Invaded by Pests.

Leavenworth, Kan, April 3.-Many
wheat fields in northeastern Kansas
and along the Kaw valley from Bon
ner Springs to Salina are SO badly in
Tested with Hessian flies that the pros
poets for a crop from these fields are
very slight. According to reports if
these fields have not already been
plowed under. they should be at once,
G. A Dean, state entom ologist at the
Kansas Agricultural colleg, says. The
land then may be used for other pur-
poses.
There is a slight infestation of the
fly in almost the entire eastern half
ofth state, and although it is most
serious in the northeastern part and
along the Kaw valley, every farmer
growing wheat should make a careful
examination of these insects and then
decide whether the infested wheat is
worth saving.

He is NOT ANGRY
DIR, Friedman Was Only "Put
Out" at u. s. Doctors.
They Expected Him to Perform

New York, April 3.-Friends of DR..
Friederich- Franz Freidmann, of Ber-
lin, deny the report that he was an
gered by treatment accorded him by
government physicians and was maxi
ing preparations to return to Germany.
DIR. Arthur friedman gave out a
brief statement in which he declared
that his brother had been slightly put
out on finding that out of the seventy
ca ses which had been prepared for his
tubercular serum at the Seton hospital
by Drs. Simpson and Lavender, of the
public health service, more than forty
of them were cases for which neither
the serum nor anything else could hold
the slightest hope.
THE cure is for tuberculosis, he
said, mot for death My brother could
not have treated them anyway. His
apparatus for developing the serum
cultures has been broken down and it
will be few days before it is in run
ming order again..
DR. Friedmann's brother then re-
peated the statement that there had
been no open break with the physicians
of the United States Public Health and
Marine hospital service.
My brother has no intention of
leaving America" he said. His work
is not finished-how could he go?"

Want new BLOOD
Young Republicans Will Dis
cuSS Politics Tonight.
To Urge Elimination of All
Old Leaders,.

Young Republicans of Topeka who
want brand new deal in state politics,
will meet tonight in the assembly room
of the National hotel to discuss plans
for the future. Tt is the purpose of
the men behind the movement to urge
the elimination of all of the old leaders
of both factions who have been largely
responsible for the discord in the party
ranks during the last two campaigns.
At the meeting tonight, only a formal
organization will be outlined. But it is
a long way to the next campaign. Many
weeks before that campaign is under
way, the young men behind the new
movement, propose to see a working
organization in every county in the
state as a result of their new plan.
It is the purpose of the movement to
interest the young men and the young
women of the state in the cause-men
and women who have never held office
or sought public jobs and have never
trailed too close to either the Regular
or Progressive wing of the party
Many of these young people believe
that the only hopes for party success
in 1914 lies in the elipninat ton of the
old war horses and veterans of the two
factions. They believe that new blood
and new leaders are needed to reor-
ganize the party and to put it in the
running again. The only way that the
old timers can be reduced to a place in
the ranks, they argue, is by the united

appointed by Governor Stubbs to the
place he left today. He made good
and leaves friends here in both parties
and factions of parties.
81 believe harmony can be brought
about he declared, but 1t must be
brought about by the nation, and not
the state. In my opinion, It would
necessitate a complete reorganization
of the national committee. Such men
as Barnes and Penrose must be
eliminated, the south must be given
proper representation-and there'll be
no need of a split in the Republican
party. There is little difference in the
platforms of the Republicans and Pro-
gressives-the Republican party has
always been the progressive party"
Mr.. Mercer spoke somewhat scath-
ingly of the failure of the present
Democratic administration to keep
their campaign promises
1T was a good legislature, he ad-
mitted, but they haven't done as they
said they'd do. 1 believe the present
Democratic administration has given
to the opposing parties the best cam
paign thunder to use in the next four
years. They promised to reduce taxes
and abolish boards. They have not
abolished boards, but created new
ones. They have not reduced, but in
creased the state appropriation be-
tween one and one-half million dol
lars"
