MISSING FLIGHT Fourth California Valencia Oran DECISION IS ANNOUNCED AT DINNER If Disease Is Eradicated, Show May Be Given as Planned CANADIAN CLAIMS CURE FOR DREAD MOUTH DISEASE EXCLUSION BILL UP TO PRESIDENT Coolidge Faces Most Difficult Decision Since He Entered Office AT DINNER If Disease Is Eradicated, Show May Be Given as Planned The fourth annual California Valencia Orange Show is "postened indefinitely," because of the foot and mouth epidemic. Ninety to 100 ranchers, packing house managers, C. of C. secretary and newspaper from many points in the Southland were told so last night at a dinner in the Elks Club, given by the show management. The speeches of the evening, touching many angles of the epidemic situation, made it clear that postponement was the wisest possible course to take. It, 20 to 60 days hence, the epidemic is eradicated, the show will be given exactly as planned, said Herman Stern, chairman of the executive committee. Stern in his speech announced that already $17,000 had been expended. One of the speakers, Chairman Talbert of the Board of Supervisors, voiced the hope that packing organizations and others would leave deposits for space in the hands of the committee, awaiting the giving of the show. The annual pre-show banquet was if possible, better-served than ever before. Tom McFadden, the toastmaster, introduced as the first speaker Harry D. Riley, president of the C. of C., who made the formal announcement of postponement. He said this was the fourth show with which, in preparation or realization he had been connected. He told how the first show had been spoiled by rain and of the successively better shows given. He said the C. of C. had received from the County Farm Bureau a communication intimating that California himself might have to consume the $400,000,000 worth of fruit and vegetable products which she raised. If the epidemic went too far. The management, said Riley, "have only taken the initiative" in the matter of postponing the show. The postponement was made as a means of co-operating with the Board of Supervisors in stamping out the plague. The show management was two or three weeks ahead of schedule, and "if conditions change we hope to have the same cooperation," said Riley, from packing organics. Dr. Harold Keith Box. Dr. Harold Keith Box, young Canadian dental scientist of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons, Toronto University, has announced the discovery of a cure of pyorrhoea, the dreaded gum disease which causes loss of all the teeth eventually. Dr. Box's theory is that the cause of the disease is a new germ condition called Rarefying Pericementitis Fibra, originating in the tooth socket membrane. THREE GARY POLICEMEN WOUNDED GARY, Ind., April 16.—Three Gary police officers fell wounded in a running gun battle which traced its crackling staccato from Indiana Harbor to Gary and claimed five wounded early today before the final victim fell. The wounded officers: William English, operator police telephone switchboard, shot thru breast and leg; may die. Motorcycle Policeman Otmaruf Pospichal, shot thru hand. Patrolman John Feigelle, shot thru both legs and thru hand. The fleeing desperado whose gun started "the pitched battle was believed dying in the Murphy hospital, shot thru the head and four times thru the arms. He gave PRESIDENT Coolidge Faces Most Difficult Decision Since He Entered Office WASHINGTON, April 16. President Coolidge was face to face today with the most difficult decision that has thus far co-fronted him as chief executive whether to sign or to veto Japanese exclusion as set forth in the new immigration bill. A difficult decision even under the most sanguine of circumstances, the president's decision at this time because of the ogre of politics that is ever at the elbow of a presidential candidate. His advisers are divided themselves—and are considerably worried. Those who look only at the international aspect of the situation are frankly fearful that if the president approves the legislation it will provide an affront to Japan that will undo 20 years of careful diplomacy and turn the greatest power in the Orient into a passive if not open enemy of America and American interest in the Far East. They see the beneficial results of the Washington ton arms conference and American generosity to Japanese earthquake sufferers wiped out in one stroke of the presidential pen. On the other hand, Mr. Coolidge's political advisers are exceedingly apprehensive as to what may happen to Mr. Coolidge, the candidate, should he veto exclusion. For a generation, the Pacific coast and the far west generally have sought to exclude Japanese immigration by federal statute. Now, that the long fight is won, it would be "political suicide," they state, for the president to nullify the fruits of that victory by vetting the exclusion measure. The president has not yet made any definite decision, it was said at the White House today. MATSUI APPEALS TOKIO, April 16.—"Japan will not give up hope yet," Foreign Minister Matsui told American correspondents today among other things in a two-page statement discussing the Japanese exclusion act. "We still believe in American justice," he continued, "and thus I appeal to the Ameican people." The management, said Riley, "have only taken the initiative" in the matter of postponing the show. The postponement was made as a means of co-operating with the Board of Supervisors in stamping out the plague. The show management was two or three weeks ahead of schedule, and "if conditions change we hope to have the same cooperation." said Riley, from packing organizations as before. Dr. J. D. Thomas of Olive, former president of the Associated C. of C., responded to Riley's "address of welcome." He told how the show had become not merely an Anaheim or Orange co affair, but "a California affair." Chairman Stern, who next was called upon, said "circumstances compelled the management to call off the show." The show was postponed, just as it would have been given, for the interests of the orange industry. Telling of the progress of preparations, Stern said all of the exhibits for the main tent had been obtained, and most of the space sold in the industrial and automobile tents. "Everything happens for the best," quoted Storn, and maybe it will rain May 16. This touch of fun; the first Storn had shown, brought a laugh from the diners.

"We still believe in American justice," he continued,"and thus I appeal to the Ameican people thrush your newspapermen." "Occupying the greatest position in the world financially and stragetically America is enabled to act arbitrarily or with fine magnanimity. If Japan sees unfortunate action now, it will harm the highest regard which we have grown to have for the United States; it could do more, but in my opinion, a nation of high princes like the United States counts high such regard."
