At n joint meeting of the Kogue Utver Traffic asHociation nm tlie fruitgrowers league held this noon at the Hotel Medford, a statement on the proponed changes in tho spray residue regulations was pre sented by 11. Van Hoevenberg, Jr., who conferred recently with fed eral officials in San I'Yauclsco. The five major points of the Van Hoevenberg report, approved by 1 the meeting, are as follows: 1. That ho far as tho Medford district is concerned, the ehangeH adopted, If any, will be minor ones and of a routine nature only. 2. The authorities express; the highest appreciation of tho effici ent system developed here and tho ' good faith with which the Malt Lake City agreement has been car ried out. On Its part, tho govern ment is also scrupulously living up to the spirit of that agreement wherever tho necessary coopera tion is being secured. 3. A slight reduction in the tol erance allowed (.017 to .1)15) has been known to the local industry for several weeks, and Is entirely satisfactory. 1. Tho necessity for handling peiirn rapidly is well understood. The laboratory system developed here to insure prompt testing, comes within the definition of u "central laboratory" and will prob ably be continued in Its entirety. G. After tho response of tho industry is received through tho northwest spray committee, tho regulations will be adopted In final form,' und announced to the industry aevcrul weeks in advance of tho earliest picking in this lo cality. Book Standard Tho proposed changes are mads for the purpose of securing a staudardlzatlon of spray Inspec tion. A final meeting, after ull distrlctH concerned havo submitted j reports, will be held ln Juno In San Francisco, where a represen tative of the Aledford district will be in attendance. It was brought out that thero would be no change In the present laboratory system of the industry here, and that tho objective of tho government was to centralize tho control and not havo It scattered. H was suggested at tho meeting, that tho Medford district be em braced In the California Inspection, n this section lit climatically In ( that zone, and, unlike the north west district proper, which Is prin cipally concerned with apples In stead of pears. The matter may be broached nt the Juno meeting In San KranclHCO, after consideration by local fruit growing and ship ping organisations. Van Hoevenberg stressed a pre vious statement, that local fruit interests have no cause for alarm from uny change In the spray regulations, which, he said, would be minor and easily adhered to. . C. C. Kfmbull, head of the Kim ball Fruit company, was a guest at the meeting, and gave sidelights on the fruit situation and prospects throughout Die Pacific coast dis tricts. The specification for the coming season of the Northwest Cunning association were presented to the meeting, fur Information and study. FATAL FOR MM WASHINGTON. Penn., May 15.

Pluribus Unum' Incensed Over Street Dodger, Calls Spade a Spade Owners of Property Named. To the Editor: In the past few days a dodger entitled: "Tho Truth About the Courthouse Site'' has been broad cast over this county. This dodger was signed by Kelly, Phlpps and Purdlu, "Incorpolated." Signing with these distinguished legal lu minaries were three or four mis guided citizens, the purpose being no doubt to add some weight and respectability, which otherwise would be Inciting, In the pnst a' great deal of lib erty hiy been taken with the beau tiful word "truth," but in this dodger it was ravaged and dis membered beyond recognition. The whole purpose of this dogeared screed was to befog the courthouse site Issuo Iti the minds of the vot ers. A certain type of lawyer Is good at this sort of business and we imagine that the word "petti fogger," as used by tho layman, originated from the word 'befog. However, this pettifogging dodger will go down 1n local history more for what it did not say that for what it did. For Instance, It did not give you tho following facts: (Continued on Page 8, Story 3) E AC! AS FINALE Mrs. Biiyeu of Dallas to Be President Coming Two Years Opponent With draws Name.

BEHIND ARMORY IK CLUBS EN I TRY BISHOP DEALS IN MARKET M. E. Church Board De cides to Probe Specula tions of Rev. Cannon, Is Rumor Exonerated On Political Activity Charge. DALLAS, Tex.. May 15. (A) A prominent member of the gen eral conference of the ' Methodist Hplcoptil Church, South, said to day that the Episcopacy commit tee of the conference last night decided that Bishop James Can non, Jr., of Washington, D. C, should he brought to trial on a churgo of speculating In the stock market. Members of the committee, sworn to secrecy, declined to deny or affirm the report, which was given credence because of the source. It had been believed that the final vote on the mutter would not bo taken until tomorrow's meeting. No Information could be obtained as to when tho com mittee would present Its report. DALLAS, Tex.. May 15. (P) Exonerated of charges of undue political activity ln the 1928 cam paign, Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of Washington, D. C, today still faced complaints signed by more than a score of delegates to the general conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, that he speculated on the stock market. Nearly six hours of delibera tion by the Episcopacy committee yesterday failed to clear Bishop Cannon of the speculation allega tion w. For three hours In the afternoon, und 45 minutes at night Cannon was on the witness stand Much of tho time he was known to have spent reading1 "papers, pre- . sumably in reply to the photo-! static documents " presented by Judge CI. .T. Fltshugh of Mem phis, purporting to be records of his stock market transactions. WASHINGTON, May 1 5. (VP) The department ot Justice In a statement today said It- was not starting a "trust busting" cam paign and that there was no occa sion for uny such campaign. The department said develop ments in economic life bring for ward new problems In relation to the Sherman Act which have to be clarified by the courts. Will Rogers Says: BEVERLY IIIbLS, May 15. The poor U. S. army Buffered its Rrcatcst defeat yesterday. It was left lm- miliuted and prostrated on the field by an old age woru, moth- eaten marri. age certifi e a t e. In delving through old histori cal documents it was found that Private Red Cagle pos sessed an incumbrance in tho way of a wife, so the secret tary of war yanked him out of the West Point linnup and sent in 18 single men to re place him. No wonder- the navy quit playing them. You can't beat boys that are do ing it "for the wife and kid' dies" and not for just the glory of the campus. ' This of course1 will cancel all the games by Red after he "went matrimony." The whole thing looks like anoth er scheme to discredit the present Republican adminis tration as Red is a Louisiana Democrat. The moral is, if nfntrimony aids all players like it did him, Knute Hockno's Notre Dame team must ull be bigamists. Yours, WILL ROGERS.
