necessary.
Text Of Hoover Order.
Mr.. Hoover's proclamation was issued
late yesterday and is effective for an

lows:
Whereas there have been oficially
reported in widely separated portions of
the United States since the middle of
December, 1929, q considerable number
OF human cases, some of them fatal
OF disease communicated by infected
parrots: and
whereas there Is evidence that such
parrots have been introduced from ports
outside Of the Continental United
States; and
whereas as there exists danger of
further such introduction:
Therefore, in order to prevent the
further introduction of disease COM

Parrot fever is q mysterious and often
fatal malady contracted, it is believed
only from infected parrots. It resembles
typhoid fever, but is complicated by
pulmonary symptoms similar to those

In the course Of the recent outbreak.
eight deaths have been attributed to
this disease and more than so illnesses
have been reported from as widely dis

Connecticut, Massachusetts,, Pennsyl-

Previously, the disease had been so
rare that no serum or other specific ever
had been developed for combating the
illness. Health officials say that treat

individual patient by the attending
physician.

SENATORS OBSERVE
CURTIS BIRTHDAY
Honor Is Paid to KanSan by
Friends and "FoeS" as He
Reaches 70.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Charles Curtis, once boy on an
Indian reservation and now Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, today cele-
brated his SEVENTEEN birthday anniver-
sary With his ancient political foes, the
Democrats, joining Republicans in
tributes, congratulations and best
wishes.
AS the Senate convened, Senator
Copeland, Democrat, of New York, a
physician, gained the floor and said
that it was his opinion as a doctor
that the Vice President would have
many more years in which to serve
his country.
Curtis, who served 20 years in the
Senate from Kansas, smiled at this
and replied, Thank you"
1t was the beginning of a deluge of
plaudits. Senator Ashurst, Democrat,
of Arizona, rose to praise the Vice
President. He was followed by Senator
Moses, Republican, of New Hampshire.
Then Senator Blease, Democrat, Of
South Carolina, asserted:
Il sincerely hope you will be PreSi-
OenC Oh the OnlCeQ states OF America.
The Senate was not yet through.
Merlin, Democrat, Alabama, described
the career of the Vice President as
inspiring" and added that 1.-The youth
of this country will be inspired by
reading the story of this remarkable
man."
Watson of Indiana, the Republican
leader, said Curtis has been a tower
of strength in every conflict in which
the party was involved and when the
fundamentals of the Government were
at stake
He is a veritable Gibraltar" he
added.
Vice President Curtis began smiling as
Copeland rose, and he was still smiling
as a lull gave him an opportunity for
replying.
II love each and every one of you, -
he answered with feeling Il assure
each and every one of you of my best
wishes for all these kindnekses =
Then the smile vanished and the
gavel raped sharply. Brisk and BUSH
ness like he turned to Copeland, the
first speaker, and asked him If he would
yield for consideration of tariff debate
on the duty on carillons, and the
Senate was at the long task once more.

sion was to be held at / pm, Eastern

With Secretary Stimson at Stanmore,
Prime Minister Macdonald at Chequers

the British, American and Japanese
delegations virtually were out of the

end.
Rene Masslgli, secretary Of the French
delegation, visited the American head
quarters during the day and saw Hugh
5. Gibson, with whom he discussed de-
tails of the conference procedure.
A British Spo sman today repeated
assurances that the conference was
making satisfactory progress. He said
that the clearing up of ideas which had
taken place today had gone much fur
ther than was expected. Informal de-
mails were made of some statements in
the British press that the French were
adopting a threatening attitude and
that the Dominion delegates were dis
satisfied.
GTandi Exclusion Denied.
The British were not the only ones
who thought it necessary to deny some
OF the deductions appearing in Eu-
ropean newspapers. At the French
headquarters it was declared published
reports that Foreign Minister Grandi
of Italy had been excluded from recent
discussions of the celebrated French
memorandum of last December were
wholly untrue. 1t was said some points
In the memorandum, notably the sug-
geStion of q Mediterranean pact. were
of interest to Italy. and that Signor
Grand was invited to discuss them
with the British and French, but replied
that for the moment the discussion of
the memorandum was not necessary for
Italy.
A French ofiicial spokesman also dis
closed that Premier Tardieu was much
displeased by differences in some Of the
English newspapers that France was
trying to torpedo the conference by in
sisting on @ large naval building pro-
gram. The premier was represented as
feeling that such a suggestion was
wholly unjustifed as the British and
others also were planning large navies.
