Will Provide Methods to Control Epidemic WASHINGTON, April 18.—The federal government will take steps to provide some way to check the hoof and mouth disease in California without maintenance of emergoes by neighboring states. It was announced at the White House this afternoon. Under the auspices of the department of agriculture, a conference of the officials of the western states will be held to discuss the problem. BAN STAYS UNTIL DISEASE CHECKED PHOENIX, Ariz., April 18.—Arizona will not lift its quarantine measure keeping vehicular traffic from California out of Arizona until the hoof and mouth diseases under control, according to Governor Hunt this afternoon. Preparations are being made to call out all state militia to guard the bridges and ferries at the Colorado river crossings, should the police forces of the counties be unable to handle the situation. The support of the state's quarantine order was given today by practically every bank, commercial organization and livestock association in Arizona in a resolution presented to Governor Hunt. RENEW EFFORTS TO REDIEVE AUTOISTS IN NARDINO, April 18.—Renewed and additional efforts were being made today by supervisors of San Bernardino-co. to get relief to 1600 persons, traveling in 800 autos, who are stalled at Needles because of the hoof and mouth disease quarantine restrictions laid down by the state of Arizona closing the road thru Needles into Arizona. An appeal has been made to Governor Hunt of Arizona by the supervisors. "Unless we can get a favorable reply," Kendall said, "the autoists will have to return westward some miles and take a course thru Salt Lake City. The road to Salt Lake City cuts across Arizona for about 25 miles, but this road is not closed, Kendall said. Supervisors later today received official notice from the state government of California that the governor of Arizona will not relax the quarantine rules. The message advised the strand- ARBITRATION WITH JAPAN "SILLY" (By George R. Holmes) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, April 18.—Suggestions publicly made by leading officials of the Japanese government and approvingly echoed in some foreign capitals, that the immigrant exclusion between the United States and Japan should be submitted by arbitration by some neutral high commission, are regarded as "silly" in Washington. "It's too ridiculous to comment upon much less consider" was the sentiment being expressed today, not only in senatorial circles where the Japanese exclusion feeling runs strongly, but also in White House and state department quarters where the feeling prevails that congress has erred in affronting Japan by erecting a permanent barrier to the entry of her nationals. It would be hard to conceive several senators said, a question of more purely domestic concern than immigration and to even consider submitting such a matter to third party mediation would be tantamount to destroying national sovereignty, was declared by a number of senators. Even the Democratic senators who were most pronounced in their advocacy in the league of nations in the submission of controversial questions between the nations to the arbitrations of that body declare submission of the Japanese question to any arbitration body was "unthinkable." Final adoption by the senate of the immigration bill with the exclusion amendment identical with that already passed by the house, brought President Coolidge nearer to a decision as to veto or approval of the measure. ASSESSMENT Charging discrimination, F. A. Yungbluth, at the meeting of the Anaheim C. of C. directors yesterday declared that only owners of frontage north of the S.P. right of way were to be assessed for the construction of the proposed airline highway from Manchester-ave; Los Angeles, to West Anaheim. The ranchers to be assessed are complaining sharply on the ground that land owners on the other side of the tracks receive equal benefits without paying. The course of the proposed road is 470 feet north of the railway's right of way. Yungbluth is associated with Jake Schumacher and Secretary Geo. Reid on the rights of way committee appointed by the local C. of C. following the Norwalk road meeting. Ed Kelly, Brookhurst rancher, who says he is heartily in favor of the airline highway, objects to the right of way being placed so far from the S.P. "Such a plan is all right in much of Los Angeles-co. where ranches are not improved but when it hits Buena Park, such a plan would cut diagonally thru many ranches, leaving a small part inconveniently between the highway and the railroad," says Kelly. "If the highway were placed next to the railroad when it hits No. Orange-co., orchard district, the cost would be much less and ranchers would much more readily part with their holdings. "It is not economical nor advisable in any way to attempt to leave such a space for industrial purposes within the orchard district." Kelly is of the opinion that the airline highway is the most important public improvement now before the people of No. Orange-co. and the present time the most economical to proceed with such a project. Kelly thinks assessments for right of way should be borne by public. Yesterday's meeting of C. of C. directors approved postponement of the Orange Show. Discussing the industrial campaign of the Greater Los Angeles Assn., the chamber appeared to think the campaign was all right if the Los Angeles C. of C. was in control. HUBERT KITTLE DIES OF POISON Governor Hunt of Arizona by the supervisors. "Unless we can get a favorable reply," Kendall said, "the autolists will have to return westward some miles and take a course thru Salt Lake City. The road to Salt Lake City cuts across Arizona for about 25 miles, but this road is not closed. Kendall said. Supervisors later today received official notice from the state government of California that the governor of Arizona will not relax the quarantine rules. The message advised the stranded tourists return to the various points in California from which they had come. Meanwhile, supervisors endeavored to make arrangements for the care of the stranded travelers. The supply of food at Needles is said to have been exhausted even for those who have money and many others in the party are reported to be without funs. Representing both regulars and independents, California's agricultural industry, a big committee headed by C. C. Teague, president of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and also of the California Walnut Growers' Association, is on route today to Washinton to interview federal authorities regarding aid in keeping the state's products moving during the foot and mouth epidemic. Fruit now is being admitted by practically all states, in spite of embargoes, on certificates issued by G. H. Hecke, head of the state Department on Agriculture, and following fumigation of cars with formaldehyde and permanganate of potash. The fumigation lasts 45 minutes and is declared to be an effective.

HUBERT KITTLE DIES OF POISON LOS ANGELES, April 18.—Hubert Kittle, facing a grand jury indictment for connection with the Arcadia band holdup over a year ago, who took poison shortly before noon today rather than surrender to the sheriff's office after being free for two weeks on bond, died at 12:30 this afternoon. Richard Kittrele, attorney for Kittle, notified the police of his act and he was rushed to the receiving hospital where a desperate effort was made to save his life. He was unconscious when he reached the hospital and doctors tried to save his life but failed. In a confession to authorities before his release two weeks ago Kittle completely exonerated the three Mexicans serving prison terms for the Arcadia bank robbery and named the notorious "one eyed Tom" Gray gang as the robbers.

SPECIALS GIVEN $150,000 Check Epidemic Without Embargoes OSED TO METHODS OF PESSMENT Quarantine Puts Damper on Crime LOS ANGELES, April 18. As a deterrent of crime the foot and mouth disease has wrought more of a change in police records during the last ten days than any factor designed for the purpose. The criminal element understands that it cannot get past the quarantine officers along the highways without a run-in; gun battle and so these special deputies of local, federal and state offices, are turned loos into the streets. As a result there has been a noticeable falling off in the reports of holdings, safe blowings and the like. The issue is said to hold true in other southland cities. JACK KEARNS APPEARS IN L.A. COURT Pleads Guilty to Charge of Drunkenness After Arrest With Actors LOS ANGELES, April 18—MONTANA SWITCHING AND CATT OFFICERS OF GUARD WILL SPEAK HERE Col. Walter B. Story, commanding officer of the 160th infantry, Calif., Nah. Guard, and Capt. B. M. Eskridge, of the regiment, speak tonight at the regular monthly meeting of Orange-co. council, American Legion, in the local post clubrooms in the city hall. Col. Story and Capt. Eskridge came in the interest of organizing an Orange-co. national guard battalion. The project has already been endorsed by the Legion, and an effort will be made to have other organizations to give it their moral support. The location of the five companies to compose the Orange-co. battalion will probably be announced tonight. A dinner will be served by the indies of the local Legion Auxiliary. POSTPONE MEETING Complying with the suggestion there be no large public gatherings for a time, the Orange-co. Harbor C. of C. has postponed the membership meeting planned for April 24th. J. P.

TRY A CLASSIFIED AD Mr. Advertiser: L.A. COURT Pleads Guilty to Charge of Drunkenness After Arrest With Actors LOS ANGELES, Apr 18.—Appearing in court after the announcement had been made that he would not be given a hearing today, Jack Kearns, manager for Jack Dumpsey, wo ld'a heavy-weight boxing champion, pleaded guilty to the charge of drunkenness before Justice Crawford and was ind $25 o 10 days in jail. The fine was later suspended. When hailed into court Kearns first entered a plea of "not guilty" but changed his plea to guilty when the court started taking testimony in the case. When seen at the city jail Kearns made no attempt to conceal his identity and chatted and laughed freely with newspaper men about his predicament, claiming he had been the "fall guy" for the other members of the party and that he was only too glad to shoulder the blame. It's all too funny," Kearna said with a hearty laugh. "Just one of those little things we all get into some time. I simply took the beef for the boys. I'm always helping the other fellow anyway. "I had left a downtown hotel and met these other people, all men, whom I knew and they offered to take me home. When we got up the street a ways an officer stopped us, I believe, and searched the car found a bottle of liquor. Where it came from I don't know, for I was never offered a drink from it. I tried to talk the officer out of arresting us and an argument between us followed—and well, here I am." Kearns was still somewhat indignant ever his incarceration and as he walked back to the tank, yelled: "I've been in better jails than Los Angeles ever hopes to have, and be sure to spell my name correctly."

BRITISH WEEKLIES CRITICIZE U. LONDON, April 18—Written daily newspapers and officials main silent upon the American-Japanese conflict, two week journals today criticized the United States policy of exclusion. The National Athenaeum, oral, commented: "A grave situation undoubtedly has been created. It remains to be seen whether President Coolidge, only seven months free election time, will have the coat age to exercise his right of veto. "The emptire which contains Australia and South Africa is unlikely to be sympathetic towards the American declaration of war right of a state to decide for itself who shall enter their territories," said the conservative Saturday Review. Newspapers are "playing u dispatches from Washington and Tokio, British officials are watching developments closely." Mr. Advertiser: Suppose you owned two ranches and were going to seed them to alfalfa, one ranch of 90 acres and one of 10 acres, side by side, of the same soil—would you put as much seed on the 10 acres as on the 90? No, sir, you would not; for if you did you would be wasting your money—as the ten acres would produce only one-ninth as much as the 90 acres. The same applies to placing your advertising in The Plain Dealer which enters 90 pct. of the local news-paper reading homes in this territory. In no other city in the entire state of California where there are two daily papers does one newspaper so overwhelmingly predominate the field from a circulation standpoint as does The Plain Dealer in Anaheim. The Plain Dealer stands preeminent in this territory.

COSTLY FIRE IN CHICAGO STOCKYARDS CHICAGO, April 18.—The fire at the Union Stockyards which at 1 o'clock was believed under control, broke thru the fire walls which were expected to check its progress and was threatening the huge hay barns of Armour and Co. Three additional alarms were sounded, bringing more apparatus to the scene. The springing up of a southwest wind increased the danger of the fire spreading to the hay shed, containing a thousand carloads of baled hay, which it was feared would mean the destruction of an area a quarter of a mile square. An inspection showed that the shed contained no fire walls and that its roofs are of wood covered with paper roofing. Unofficial estimates of the damage so far place it around $1,000. H. L. Scaife Declares Gillett Among Those Who Participated (Bv William K. Hutchinson) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) Washington, April 15.—Distribution of $150,000 worth of sel-ral liquor to "high government offi-cials" in Washington was described to the Wheeler-Brookhart committee today by Captain H. L. Scaife, former agent of the department of justice. Among the officials named by Scaife in connection with the liquor which he said was stolen from a warehouse, were Repre- sentative Frederick Gillett of Muss., speaker of the house, and W. L.

"Fry," Scaife said, "told me he only got two bottles." "All of these men were in the department at the time." Scaife added. "Most of them are still there and some of them have been promoted since they participated in this crime." Scaife said he had submitted a report on the whole affair to Attorney General Daugherty. No prosecutions ever followed, he added. "Some of this liquor also went to members of the house." Scaife added. "I was told that some even found its way to the office of Speaker Gillett." "Do you know that as a fact?" "No," Scaife replied. "It was in the reports of department of justice agents on the case. Gillett publicly acknowledged it and gave out a newspaper statement that he got it for a constituent."

Thaw, Pittsburg millionaire and player of Stanford White, echoed his divorced wife, Evelyn Nesbit in expressing confidence today that he will win his legal fight for release from asylum life. Miss Nesbit was quoted as saying in Atlantic City that "money can do a great deal—the result of the trial is almost a foregone conclusion." So certain is the Pittsburgh of victory that he is said to have requested his mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, not to return home for Easter, but to remain here so that he can accompany her west next week. With the resumption of the trial on Monday, the attorneys opposing Thaw's release will call additional witnesses and in all probability reserve Evelyn Nesbit as the "big gun" in the offensive.

Scalfe reprimanded Senator Wheeler, the acting "prosecutor" for bringing in Speaker Gillett's name. "I don't think it's fair to Speaker Cillett to insert this in the record, unless you know it as a fact or was included in a report submitted to the department." "I think it's all right." Scalfe replied. "I can give you the names of witnesses who do know about it." "Do so," Wheeler countered. They were P. T. Ahearn, E. O. Cysh. William R. Benham, H. B. Alden, Harry C. Cox, John E. Hoover, all from the department of justice, and C. A. Aspinwall, president of the Security Warehouse company." Scalfe said he thot "it should all be brot out, no matter whom it hits." WASHINGTON, April 18.—A gossipy story to the effect that on the night before Warren G. Harding was nominated at Chicago, the late Senator Boes Penrose, Republican "boss" of Pennsylvania, offered "the nomination to General Leonard Wood if Wood would allow Penrose and his friends to name three cabinet members, was related to the Senate public lands committee today by T. A. Harmian of Indianapolis. Harman said he got his information from Dr. J. L. Himrod of Mooseheart, ill., whom he described as "Wood's confidential man."
