Opposes independence.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The early in
dependence of the Philippines would
mean seizure of the islands by an
other power, Dean c. Worcester, for
mer member of the Philippine COM
mission, told the Senate committee at
its hearing on the Jones bill, designed
to grant larger measure of self gov
ernment. He said:
"Elections soon would become
farce, armed violence would occur,
and there would be bloodshed and an
archy. There probably would be ag-
gressions against foreigners bv the
ignorant element, which would mean
foreign intervention. If the islands
were fully independent intervention
would mean the taking of the islands
by some other power, beyond perad-
venture of doubt"
Worcester praised the growth of
education and general improvements
during American occupation. The re-
cent uprising is not serious, but indi-
Gates ability of the agitators to dis
turb public order in case American
authority is withdrawn.

for some time been connected with
the Imperial schools and is thorough
ly conversant with the school system
in effect throughout the county.
When asked whether he planned any
radical changes in the school system,
Mr.. Shibley said:
81 promised the people during my
campaign that l would conduct the
office as efficiently as possible, and
intend to do that. There will be
some changes, of course, but what
they will be | cannot say at present.
My one greatest desire is to make
them with the least inconvenience to
all concerned and with as little inter-
ruption of business as possible"
Regarding the selection of a deputy,
he said:
Miss A. L. Patterson present dep
uty, will stay in that position as long
as she desires. She has proven her
self capable and efficient, and under
stands the work thoroughly.
at is my plan," he continued, "to
conduct the educational institutions of
this county along the same lines as
are in effect at present, making what
ever changes | deem necessary wher-
ever the system can be improved"

ENGLAND OFFERS A
SOLUTION OF THE
CONTRABAND ISSUE

London, Dec. 31.-The feeling here
is that there will be speedy, ami
cable settlement of President Wilson's
protest.
Another meeting of the British cab
met has been held. 1t is believed the
solution probably will be this:
The British government will make
arrangements with neutral countries
through which American goods might
pass to the enemies to make these
countries "watertight," in so far as
the export of contraband is concerned.
The neutral countries-Italy, Holland
and Denmark-will be compelled to
prohibit the passage of goods to Ger
many and Austria.
When this arrangement is made
England will be able to relax the rig
ors in searching American and other
ships.

Outpouring Today
For the Exposition

While yesterday was the day set for
the parade to San Diego, it is believed
more people went today than yester-
day. Those who left this morning will
reach the city in time to participate
in the opening events tonight, and
there was feeling on the part of
many that they should economize the
time and money required for the trip,
every days expenses counting.
! The stages yesterday and today
were also loaded down, and number
of citizens have made the trip by
train.
1t is believed the valley is represent
ed in San Diego by at least 500 per
sons, and reports from that city indi-
cate that the events tonight will be
among the most spectacular ever seen
on the coast.
AS there will probably be more
than a million dollars in cash dropped
in San Diego in the next three days,
that city will at once take on new
life, and this will prove the beginning
of the end of the depression that has
prevailed in the Far Southwest, in
common with the rest of the coun-
try.
City Is Crowded.
San Diego, Dec. 31.-Never before
was this city so crowded with people
as it is today, and it already is ap-
parent that the exposition opening
will be great success.
For days the crowd of eastern peo-
pie had been accumulating, until the
great hotel accommodations of the
city were in big demand, and yester-
day and today the Southern Califor-
MIA people pouring in have been num-
bered by the tens of thousands, and
the hotels are having all they can do
to handle the throngs.
AS a result of this, a complete
change has of a sudden come over the
people of San Diego, who already feel
the dawn of a new era of prosperity.
Every business house in all lines of
trade is experiencing the benefit. and
dollars are as common today as dimes
were a week ago.
1t is expected the first big crowd
will be here about a week, but hun
dreds of the eastern people have set
tied down to remain indefinitely, and
it is expected the big rush of tourists
that usually waits until after the hol-
idays to come to the coast will be
on within two weeks, and that San
Diego will prove a great attraction
throughout the year.
That the great publicity given the
fair is to bear fruit in abundance al
ready is demonstrated.

This has proved one Of the great
years of history, for it has seen the
outbreak of the long g-dreaded world
war. School children thousand
wears from now will remember 1914
as they do 1892 and 1776. Following
is a record of some Of the prominent
events of the year, especially the
first five months of the great con-
flict:
Jan. John Lind arrives in Vera
Cruz to observe Mexican chaos for
President Wilson.
Jan. 1.-Two thousand Mexican ref
ugees from Battle of Ojinaga flee into
the United States.
Jan. As. S. Oklahoma breaks in
two 81 miles from Sandy Hook; 80
die.
Jan. 5-Ford Motor Company an
nounces its workmen shall have at
least $50 a week each.
Jan. 8-United States naval force
of Vera Cruz strengthened.
Jan. 9-Villa captures Ojinaga.
Jan. 14-MeXican rebels take Tor
reon.
Jan. 3O-S. S. Monroe rammed and
sunk by S. S. Nantucket off Chesa
peake bay. Forty three drown.
Feb. 4--Castillo, Mexican bandit,
wrecks passenger train in burning tun-
nel near MADEIRA. Seventeen Ameri
cans and 50 Mexicans perish.
Feb. 10-Earthquake through New
York state.
Feb. 11-Lieutenant Arthur B.
Cook, U. S. navy, wounded by bullet
in Vera Cruz street.
Feb. 17-Villa kills w. S. Benton,
Scotch rancher.
March 12-George Westinghouse,
inventor of the air brake, dies.
March 16-Gaston Calmette, editor
of the Figaro, shot dead by Nine.
CaillauX, wife of French minister of
finance.
March 23-War Minister Seely of
Great Britain resigns.
April House of Representatives
lepeals the Panama Canal tolls bill.
April 2-One hundred and seventy
killed when storm overtakes New
toundland sealers on the ice.
April 2-Twelve federal reserve
hank districts announced.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-12-31

realize that the United States had tax
en- a hand in the situation and appar-
emily meant to play what she considers
ker rightful part to finish.
Everywhere today there was a dis
position to Judge the note more by
the authorized motive behind it than
by the merits of the American com
plant which it presented. Several
prominent Englishmen expressed the
opinion that politics was the cause of
its promulgation.
Stronger than any conviction in the
British mind, however, is the feeling
that the United States has finally
descended from its pedestal of neutral
ity to aid the German cause. This
mistaken judgment cannot be said to
have any place in the British foreign
office, but the charge is openly made
in responsible journals.
For instance the Globe tonight, un
Ger the heading "The Silent Neutral"
says:
"Violations of all The Hague con-
ventions to which America is a sigma
tory, and in the promotion of which
America has borne an honorably
prominent part, have been flagrant
and repeated, but the American gov
ernment has declared it's inability to
utter word of protest. The Ameri-
can government has remained silent
and unprotesting in the face of in
defensible outrages inflicted on Bel
gium. The voice of the great neutral
nation, which seeks to be the final
arbiter for civilization, is raised for
the first time, not on any question
of higher morality, but to express inn
patience with the fact that the great
est war in the history of the world
has interfered with the opportunity Of
American traders to make money out
of the necessities of belligerents. The
American government in effect de-
mands that we should renounce, in
the interest of American profits, our
most potent weapon against our enc
my; that we should raise the blockade
against our enemy's supplies. The de-
mand may be made in the 'friendliest
spirit but there is only one possible
answer in the friendliest spirit, MOI ;"
The Evening Standard says: at is
unlikely, despite the American note,
that the British policy will undergo
any material change"
