JOHNSON MA A BANDON CAMPAIGN FARM BUREAU HEADS ABOUT Calls Conference of H Managers to Decide on Continuance WASHINGTON, April 9.—Sistor Hiram Johnson has summi- SENATOR Charges Indictment "Culmination of Damnable Conspiracy" WASHINGTON, April 9.—Movily with startling rapidity, the state this afternoon, by unanimous vote adopted a resolution authorizing an investigation of Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat, prosecutor of the Daugherty investigation, by a Montana jury. The resolution provided the investigation should be conducted by a special committee of five members appointed by the president pro tem of the senate. At the request of Senator Wheeler himself, the resolution also provided for an investigation of the charges against him in the Great Falls indictment. Wheeler charged the indictment was the "culmination of one of the most damnable conspiracies in the history of the United States." "Because of my activities against the department of justice, I find myself indicted by a Montana grand jury." Wheeler said. "The foreman of the grand jury was one of my bitterest political foes in Montana. The district attorney who presented the case to the grand jury, came here a few months ago to ask me to endorse him for the federal judgeship. I told him I could not because I had no influence." Wheeler said he had won the hatred of politicians both the State and Republican parties due to certain prosecutions he took in Montana as United States district attorney. "After I started this present (Dauberty) investigation," Wheeler said, "reports came to me that I was being investigated—that Burns detectives were looking up my record there." He challenged the senate to try him on the same charges and declared he would prove his innocence. "I was told ten days ago by a distinguished gentleman that he had heard from the Republican national committee that I will be indicted in Montana," said Senate Wheeler. I heard the report again few days later from a member of the Republican national convention committeeman who said I would be indicted." Wheeler assured the senate he had never appeared before the department of the interior on behalf of Campbell, or before any other department on his behalf." He explained that in the spring of FARM BUREAU HEARS ABOUT QUARANTINE At a largely attended farm bureau meeting in the high school interesting and valuable information on the hoof and mouth disease and the mealy bug was presented by Secretary A. N. Stanley of the county farm bureau and County Horticulture Commissioner A. A. Brock. The quarantine against the foot and mouth disease is now under control of horticulture commissioners of various California counties. The commissioners of six counties will meet and decide upon uniform regulations to be promulgated and published as soon as possible. Mr. Brock said that the quarantine police have no guns at present and anyone trying to run past the quarantine will be arrested by a motorcycle officer. Mr. Brock has also made provisions to prevent spread of the mealy bug by pickers or picking boxes from infested groves to those that are not infested. Boxes that are used to pick fruit in infested groves will be fumigated before being used in clean groves. The cryptolemus beetle upon which the chief reliance is placed for control of the mealy bug are being hatched at the insectary at the rate of 6000 per day and are being liberated where needed. BROCK CLEARS UP "EMBARGO" The office of A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, was endeavoring to straighten out an "foot and mouth disease border," faulty conditions which were said to have obtained in the embargo on "most everything" that previously existed. Though he had the post but one day, Brock already has issued orders to stop only certain things that were being brought into the farm. Calls Conference of Managers to Decide on Continuance WASHINGTON, April 9.—Senator Hiram Johnson has summoned his campaign managers to conference Friday, for the purpose of determining whether he shall remain actively in the race for the republican nomination International News Service led this afternoon. Johnson called the conference following his feats by President Coolidge Michigan, Illinois and Nebraska. It was understood Senator Johnson will submit to his campaign managers the question discontinuing his campaign Among the managers summoned were George K. Bender of Ohio George Howard Payne of New York, and Paul Verdon of New Jersey. The senator's recent primary defeats by Coolidge throut to middle west were said to have discouraged him. At the conference Johnson all will decide whether to continue the race in New Jersey and Ohio where his name already has been entered. If agreeable to his managers, Johnson probably will make no campaign in either state but merely allow his name to be voted upon because it already has been ordered on the ballots. COOLIDGE BEATS JOHNSON LINCOLN, Neb., April 9.—Turns from 844 precincts out of 1,528 in Tuesday's primary giffen Johnson 22,983; Coolidge 36,877 Frank Corrick, manager for Coolidge, said that on the face present returns, the president would sweep the state by a 45,000 majority. The upset of the primary wipe out overwhelming Coolidge totals in the agricultural sections. Governor Bryan has uniquely secured the democratic nomination for governor, while Mathers and McMullen are running neck and neck for the republican gubernatorial nomination. COOLIDGE LEADS BY 10,000 CHICAGO, April 9.—President Coolidge was leading by ten thousand votes to lay with between third and a half of Illinois' vote counted, after a close race which Senator Johnson captured Cook-co. BROCK CLEARS UP "EMBARGO" The office of A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, was endeavoring to straighten out an the "foot and mouth disease border," faulty conditions which were said to have obtained in the embargo on "most everything" that previously existed. Though he had the post but one day, Brock already has issued orders to stop only certain things that were being brought into the county, and these, in general, pertained only to such things or animals that would carry the infection. A sad state of affairs was said to have existed previously at the county line. Everything from lumber to newspapers were held up and a baby lost her milk bottle to the guards, it was authentically stated. Brook and District Attorney Nelson were in Los Angeles today attending a conference of similar quarantine officials, at which uniform ban regulations were expected to be worked out. These regulations then will be released through the press, it was understood. Cattle will be stopped, but Believe Pigeons Carriers Of Hoof and Mouth Disease LOS ANGELES, April 9.—Pigeons as carriers of the foot and mouth disease was the latest theory advanced today at the offices of the state department of agriculture. Norman C. Buhn, a field agent from Sacramento, reported that his observations both in the San Leandro district and in Los Angeles-co indicated that birds flying around stock watering tanks were more or less responsible for the outbreaks. Guards will be placed on infected property to keep the birds in flight. Buhn declares that pigeons are the worst offenders, although blackbirds and seagulls also may be contributing factors. Three dairy cows at El Segundo were found infected yesterday and were killed. The owner was an associate of the man who owned an infected herd at Hawthorne showing that the disease can be carried. It was announced by the state department of agriculture this morning that guards have been placed on all pasteurizing plants and all dairy products plants. Strict supervision is being maintained over the food supply. Jay Dutter, director of publicity, today says that the impression has gone forth, because of the closing of Los Angeles packing plants, that there will be a curtailment of the domestic meat supply. He states such is not the case. There is a sufficiency to take care of present needs and other meat is being imported from the east until it is safe to begin butchering locally again.

SUES SISTERS IN ESTATE SQUABBLE Accusing his own sisters of a conspiracy in influencing his mother to dispose of her valuable estate to the latter, Leonard C.

While he was travelling abroad his sisters and other relatives secured deeds to the mother's property while she was living, Kellogg alleges in a suit filed in the superior court at Santa Ana, seeking to have the deeds sat aside on the ground that they were obtained fraudulently.

From the standpoint of receiving the greatest value for the funds expended, these efforts were found to be highly satisfactory. When conditions arising from our rapidly expanding-population made it imperative to provide more room for our school children, plans were drawn for the addition to the intermediate URGES ISSUE OF 4 BILLION GOLD MARKS Recommends External Loan to Assist in Balancing of Budget By FLANK E.

While I am personally indifferent as to the effect of these attacks, having the most confidence in the fair-mindedness of our citizens, it is well that the underlying motives be thoroughly understood. Shortly before my election to the grammar school board three years ago, the Central and Citron-st school buildings had been completed.

The same thing may be said of the board's members and officials. They are not as much working for or against any candidate or candidates. This sentiment was clearly known at today's luncheon in the cherry Blossom. Nor did the board as a board-attempt to present its attitude becoming publicly known. It developed further in the course of the meeting that the attempt of an opposition newspaper to make it appear, as was ostensibly done, that another prominent local organization was endorsing the candidacy of any man or set of men was similarly displaced.

Mayor Wm.

In fact, it had such an acute attack of heeble jeebles that it was very broadly intimated the whole "Good Government" business might be dropped and politics be permitted to go to pot. E. H. Metcalf, member of the grammar school board and candidate for council, in a very lucid statement today explained away a number of the whys and wherefores of the "league," declaring its membership was made up very largely of those disappointed in not obtaining something in connection with recent school building construction.

GOLD MARKS Recommends External Loan to Assist in Balancing of Budget By FEANK E. MASON (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) PARIS, April 9.—The world's greatest program for the financial restoration of a temporarily bankrupt nation—the German republic—is outlined in a report presented to the inter-allied reparations commission today by the international committee of reparations (experts, headed by General Charles Gates Dawes, of Chicago). The plan recommends the creation of a new bank issue, capitalized at 400,000,000 gold marks (approximately $150,000,000) to act as the allies chief fiscal agent in Germany; an external loan to assist in the balancing of the budget and the restoration of confidence in Germany's financial and economic life; issuance of 2,000,000,000 gold marks preferred shares by the German railways' be sold to the public; an elaborate and detailed plan for balancing the German budget so that Germany can resume reparations payments as soon as the transition period gets fully under way. It was the double task of the committee to point the way to stabilization of German currency and the balancing of the budget. It was a strictly "business man's report" ignoring political questions and avoiding military matters including occupation of the Ruhr, as outside the jurisdiction of the committee. After outlining various phases of the plan the report turned to reparations payments (peace treaty charges) saying: "The president of the reparations commission: "Sir: Your committee has unanimously adopted a report upon the means of balancing the German budget and the measures to be taken to stabilize its currency which I now have the honor to submit. "Deeply impressed by a sense of its responsibility to your commission and to the universal conscience, the committee passes its plan upon those principles of justice, fairness and mutual interest in the supremacy of which not only the creditors of Germany and Germany itself, but the world also have a vital and enduring concern." With these principles fixed and accepted in that common good Neither the board nor the body question has put itself on record in politics, altho, without a date being taken, the speakers at today's meeting all appeared to oppose the idea of the board's being mixed up in politics direct or indirectly. Discussion of the matter of advertising in California Real Estate, the official monthly publication of the California Real Estate Association, occupied a large part of today's discussion. Louis Klopsch, advertising representative of the periodical, urged the board's cooperation, especially in view of the coming industrial conference to be held at the Elks' Club, May 17. W. J.

The movement will reach the state legislature it is hoped and result in the message of a law comparable to the one and brand act, providing for identification of poultry and licensing of poultry buyers. We have been losing chickens regularly," stated C. H. Jones of Buena Park," and we are anxious to take all the necessary steps to stop these depredations that have even thought of asking the supervisors to pass an emergency ordinance, pending the action of the state legislature in the matter, making it necessary for all poultry sellers to furnish a bill of sale with each flock of poultry sold and the possession of any considerable number of chickens in transit without such bills of sale prima facia evidence of theft. This would certainly act as a retardent if it is possible to pass such a measure." Many Orange-co flocks have been developed by years of breeding and care and the loss would be a serious handicap to their industry.
