new CROP PEST FOUND
Pea Aphis Now Busy Trying to Finish
1921 Kansas Alfalfa.

Lawrence, Kan, April 25.-Still an
other crop pest is invading Kansas.
The pea-aphis was reported from sew
eral sections of the state this week,
according to Prof. S. j. Hunter. head
of the entomology department at the
University of Kansas.
--latest reports indicate that this
insect has seriously damaged the first
crop of alfalfa in the entire south half
of the state, said Professor Hunter.
This is the first appearance of this
insect in destructive number in this
section of the country. No parasite
enemy has been discovered to combat
the pest. Farmers have been misled
in the activity of the insect in believ-
ing that the whitening of the alfalfa
leaves was caused by the late frost
The most advisable action against the
pea-aphis is narrowing both ways,
with a slant tooth harrow.
1.-The pea-aphis is of the green bug
family and resembles the green bug.
1t reproduces at the rate of fifteen to
twenty-four offspring per individual
daily and is reported to exist on the
alfalfa stalks as many as twenty-four

NO ONE MAN RULE.
Harding Makes Good His Pre-
Campaign Promises.
Makes Cabinet Officers Do Most
of Detail Work.

Washington. April 25.-President
Harding has made good his campaign
promise to end the lone man rule of
which he accused Woodrow Wilson,
according to his friends here today,
summing up the results of nearly two
months elapsing since the last inau-
guration.
All cabinet officers, it was empha-
sized, are now standing on their own
feet, direpking the policies of their re-
spective departments in close cooper
alton with, but not subservient to the
wishes of the man in the White House.
President Harding has given Secre-
tary of State Hughes full latitude in
determining the nations foreign poll
cies.
Equal latitude, it is said, has been
allowed Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon.
When the packer employees put up
their wage dispute to President Hard
ing he promptly decided that was the
proper business of Secretary of Labor
Davis and all the papers were turned
over to this cabinet officer

Introduces Bill Also Preventing

Washington April 25.-Repeal of
the guaranteed return to the railroads
under the transportation act is~pro-
vided for in a bill introduced today
by Senator Capper. Kansas. The bill
also prevents the interstate commerce
commission interfering in making of
intrastate rates.
Railroad rates are now prohibitive

Capper. Not only do we have the
situation in regard to agriculture but
will have a nationwide s+agnation of

by high rates of transit as is agricul-
ture.

TO PUSH PEACE
Knox Resolution Approved by
Senate Committee.
Sen. Lodge Declares He'll Call
1t Up Tuesday.

Washington. April 25.-The senate
foreign relations committee today ia
vorably reported the Knox resolution
ending the state of war between the
United States and the central powers.
Slight formal changes were made in
the text. There were but two votes
against the resolution, Pomerene.
Ohio, and Pittman. Nevada.
The nine Republican members of
the committee who attended voted
aye. Pomerene and Pittman were the
only Democrats present. The absence
of the other four Democrats was taken
as an indication that they did not
wish to ''show their hand on the res
olution at this time. particularly as
Pomerene and .Pittman said their neg
ative votes were tentative" and not to
be taken as indicative of their posi-
ton in the senate.
There was very little discussion of
the merits of the resolution, senators
said. 1t was ordered reported at once
and this was done soon after the SEN
ate met. Time for taking it up was
left to the Republican steering com
mittee, which will decide today 1t
may be taken up at once, but the
probability is that it will go over at
least until tomorrow.
Lodge in reporting the resolution
gave notice he would call it up to-
morrow.
Two similar resolutions terminating
war between the United States, Ger
many and Austria Hungary were in
troduced in the house by Representa-
tive Porter, chairman of the commit
tee on foreign affairs, soon after re-
porting of the Knox measure in the
senate.
Porter's resolutions were written, he
said, to conform strictly to President
Harding's message and contained the
qualifications essential to protect all
our rights Porter said the resolu-
tions will 'leave the president free
and untrammelled" in negotiating a
treaty

NEED 100000 HARVEST HANDS
Heads of Employment Agencies in
Conference Here Today.

Heads of employment agencies in
Kansas are in conference with the la
Dor department of the industrial court
today relative to harvest hand condi-
tions 1t was estimated that 40. 900 to
$4,000 men would be required to gath
er the 1921 crop.
Because of unemployment in Kan
sas at this time less concern is given
the labor situation than in recent
years 1t is also probable that fewer
men from other states will be needed
than in harvest seasons during the
war. Conditions in the various local
tiles are being discussed by the en-
ployment agents.
Proposals for a reduced railroad
rate for harvest hands may be made
at todays meeting. This plan was
supported at a recent meeting of the
state board of agriculture in Topeka.

Railroad NeUs of Week
VERNON E. BUNDY

March 1, was one of abnormal bust
ness demands upon it's transportation
facilities and an abnormal percentage
of bad order equipment on it's lines.
Secondly, the business of the coun-
try demanded that the work be done
at the earliest possible moment and
the Pennsylvania obtained the best
terms possible on work it had to have
done outside.
Finally. aside from the facts of
the case itself, the records of per-
formance of the railroad in meeting
this situation fully warrant and justify
the steps taken to meet it.
THE average number of bad order
freight cars, which was $4,000 daily
in March, was reduced to 1914 in
December. The records of locomo-
tive repairs in the company's own
shops show that the number of To-
comotives requiring heavy repairs,
which were turned out for service
each month. since March, was as fol-
lows: March, 5O2; April. sos; May,
$40; June, 543; July, 556; August,
$50; September, 5O2; October. 527;
November, 1852; December, 434.

Much About Lamps.
Crane had much to say about lamps,
the beauty of a lamp that depended
upon it's own designs and not upon
any applied decoration, the awfulness
of certain lamps that had queer
splotches on them or misplaced flying
creatures.
At the close of the lecture, after all
the furniture had been placed. Crane
called the attention of the audience
to the fact that the room lacked one
of the most vital of things, a woman's
presence. which was supplied by Mrs.
Howard Searle, who came into the
room and seating herself at the piano
sang Sweet and Low, Loves Old
Sweet Song" and Annie Laurie" This
part in the lecture is usually taken by
Mrs. Crane, but owing to illness she
was unable to appear this afternoon.
Use Various Color Schemes.
Various color schemes are used by
the artist in his lectures over the coun-
try and variety is offered in the stage
setting by a Jog here, or another
there, in the room. The furniture
which is used in the making of the
room was furnished by local dealers,
excepting the draperies, which he car
ries himself.

TO OPEN
Kennedy Shows Will Stage Un-
usual Feature for Carnival.
Be No Closed WagOns-Head-
line Attractions To Be Shown.

NO circus is really circus without
a parade and a street carnival is in
more ways than one a circus. That is
the idea of Con T. Kennedy, whose
shows open tonight at the foot of
Quincy street. A parade will be the
opening feature of the weeks engage
ment here under the auspices of the
Modern Woodmen drill team. 1t will
be a real parade, too, according to
Forrest Smith, former Topeka theater
man who is now publicity man for
the Kennedy attractions.
The parade will start from Fourth
and kansas avenues at 5 o'clock this
evening, march to Tenth street on
Kansas avenue and then double back
to. Fourth street and the show
grounds. Quite unlike the circus pa
rades, the average Topekan is accus-
toned to, this parade will show every
thing. There will be no covered wag-
ons used as filters" and many of the
headline attractions of the shows will
be displayed openly.
In addition to the two bands which
the Kennedy aggregation boasts. there
will be the two drill teams of Wood
men from tho Topeka lodges. the Wild
West horses and riders, the Royal
Midgets in their specially constructed
miniature auto and Capt. Eugene
Argean, the biggest man in the world,
as we'll as several other novel and un-
announced features.
In spite of the rain of last night and
this morning, the shows are now all
ready for the public and the band con-
certs which will follow Immediately
after the parade this evening. The
shows arrived in Topeka yesterday
afternoon on the Kennedy special
train of thirty cars, everything shining
ly new and clean. Since the arrival
of the train in the Santa Fe yards
yesterday afternoon a small army OF
workmen has been busy transporting
and erecting the tents. riding devices
and other para phernalia.

No Chance Now to Heal British
Labor Breach.

lance Unless Revamped.

London. April 25.-Renewed efforts
to find a settlement of the dispute
between the coal miners and the mine
owners were made this morning when
representatives of the owners and the
executive officers of the miners fed
Grafton met here in joint conference
with representatives of the govern
ment.
The owners submitted a detailed
statement of their proposal and it is
understood the possibilities of a tenn
porary settlement were under discus
sion. The owners, it was stated, were
prepared to advocate a temporary
agreement for a period of three
months, in the nature of a COM
promise.
Shortly after noon the conference
adjourned until tomorrow. when Mr..
Lloyd George, the prime minister, will
preside over its deliberations.
Big Three Permanently Split.

In a speech here, Cooke declared
the miners will not return to the al
lance until it has been remodeled and
reorganized.
The split came when the railway
and transport workers refused to
strike to support the miners in their
wage demands.

BUSY DAY FOR FIRE DEPT.
High Wind Sunday Causes Many
AIarms-None Were Serious

The city fire department was kept
busy during the high wind on Sunday
answering fire alarms. Fortunately
the fires which occurred were only
bonfires, small buildings or fences. Al
7:12 o'clock Sunday morning small
fire at 424 East Gordon street caused
a still alarm to the department Other
fires on Sunday were in a coal shed ac
Curtis and North Tyler, rubbish flre
at 323 North Quincy street about noon,
and a burning fence in East Slxth
avenue about 4:45 O'Clock.
Perhaps the most Successful flre
of Sunday was the burning of a dilapi-
dated, one-story building near the
Rock Island track at Quinton bouIe-
ward. The building was thought u
have been set fire by tramps who oc-
cupied it Saturday night, with the re-
suit that the trapms' retreat was com.
pletely destroyed. The fire was OUT
of the reach of the city water mains.
