OFFICERS RAID
FRANKLIN HOTEL

/ Swooping down upon the FRANKLIN
hotel at II last night Marshal Nc
! Fadden and Sheriff Meadows dealt d
serious blow to the blind tiger indus
try in this city when they confiscated
quantity of booze and arrested j.
f. Barr. proprietor of the establish
ment, charging him with the illegal
sale of liquor.
That the sale of booze has been
going on at the hotel for some time
has been the conviction of local Off
GERS, but a raid had been postponed
On number of occasions because of
failure to secure sufficient evidence.
Watching last night, the officers wit
Messed the sale of several bottles Of
booze and, after collecting their evi-
dence, succeeded in locating Barr, who
was taken into custody. Search for
booze among number of rooms in
the hostelry yielded only a small mum
Der of bottles, most of the evidence
having been secreted by Barr's accom-
plice, it is believed.
Before City Recorder Iasigi Barr
this morning entered plea of not
guilty and requested that he be given
time to secure legal aid. He was later
released after filing $3.50 cash bond.
"We got all the evidence we need
ed," declared Marshal McFadden this
morning, averring that a conviction
in the case was almost a certainty.
Among the first structures erected
in Ell Centre, the Franklin hotel is
one of the historic buildings of this
city. Raided during the administra-
tions of various officials as the seat
of the blind tiger industry, on numer-
Gus occasions the scene of near trag-
edy, but probably famous" because
it was here the capture of Tom Green
and Paul Case, murderers and Blythe
bank robbers, took place.

New Neutrality Idea.

! Washington, Dec. 1l.-Failure of
! the United States to compel strict OBJ
servance of neutrality has resulted in
the creation of great group of man
ufacturers and bankers in this coun
try interested in carrying on the Eu-
ropean war, in the opinion of Sena
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska, Democrat,
member of the foreign relations com
mittee.
at is barbarous, unchristian and
hypocritical for the United States to
stand for peace and run its factories
night and day to manufacture mu-
nitions of war for belligerents," said
Senator Hitchcock.
at is hypocritical to set day for
peace and permit our factories to
make supplies to prolong the war.
1t is particularly wicked when we have
100000 or 100000 of Germans in
this country who know that these fac
tories are being run 20 make material
to kill their relatives.
GAS it is now we are practically par
ticipating in the war. The plea is we
are making money out of it, and that
is our only excuse"
Senator Hitchcock has two bills
pending which are intended to put an
end to the situation. One is to
amend the neutrality laws to forbid
the sale in this country during times
of war of the bonds of belligerent
issued since the war began. Senator
Hitchcock says there are two reasons
for his bill. One is that the sale of
these bonds takes capital out of this
country and the other is that it is a
violation of neutrality. Senator
Hitchcock's other bill prohibits the
expectation of arms and ammunition
to any country for use against a coun-
try with which the United States is at
peace.
81 have received kilograms and let
ters asking me to include horses in
the list" said Senator Hitchcock. "My
correspondents point out that it is
inhuman to permit the expectation Of
tens of thousands of our best horses
for butchery on the battlefields."

TRUSTEES PLAN
MORE PAVING

With the adoption of a resolution
of intention by the city trustees last
night which will result in the paving
of Main street from New street, the
present city limits and the present
limit of the paving, to the Dogwood
canal, comes the announcement that
the trustees are considering the prac
ticability of paving Main street to
the west as far as Imperial avenue.
According to present plans, only a
strip thirty feet wide along the mid
ole of Main street will be passed in
the proposed Fast Side extension, as
it is the desire of the trustees to avoid
placing too heavy a demand on the
taxpayers. Just what the procedure
will be in the paving on the West
Side is not known, but it is generally
understood the same policy of cover
ing only portion of the highway will
be followed.

These Facts Come Home
To People Hereab0uts

Strange may seem the Press learns OF one or TWO
business who are crtcising this journal because 1t
points to the dawn of better times.
The Press has disposition to hide the truth 1t has
will to up facts But the truth is that for the
first time in months there is market for bonds, and be-
bonds be sold public and private corporations
all the country starting up work that has been
delayed.
1t is also true that in the last few weeks the balance
of world trade has turned overwhelmingly in favor OF
this country and with millions of European money COM
ing in every section of the land will share in the bet
terment.
1t is true that shipments of cotton beginning to
move to Germany and Austria, where there is great
demand
These are general conditions, and added to them
the local conditions, growing out of the stability of af
fairs where heretofore there has been feeling of un-
certainty.
In the annual report of Secretary of Agriculture
Houston given in another column, there is the utmost
hope for the farmer 1t is shown that in ten years the
number of cattle in the country decreased from 50OOO
0O0 the number Of sheep from 81 100000 to 81
100000 and the number of hogs from 63OOOOOO to 5S
100000 while during that same period the population OF
the country increased 20 O00
The lesson which Secretary Houston draws from this
is that the farmers have great opportunity for ncreas
ing the number of livestock the farms, fact which
the Press has urged repeatedly.
Never did the American farmer have great OPP
poruny he has, and this is the very region where
all farmers working in livestock lines get the greatest
profits.
This is not matter of theory Every person knows
that the dairymen and livestock in this valley
making good profit In some that profit is ex
pended in increasing the herds but the big profit is there
and because of these lines of activity great sums of money
are continually pouring into the valley.
This is truth that is known, not only here, but
everywhere and because of this there is certain to be
great period of colonization ahead when the tens of thou
sands of prosperous farmers from the Middle West
hther during the coming year.
But for this valley to take advantage of the oppor
tuny is necessary for the people to do their part We
cannot progress through complaining of conditions. We
must shake off the depression which the has spread
throughout the world and again get busy in spirit of
cheerfulness and confidence to work out our destiny

Secretary Daniels Favors
Continuing to Build Navy

Washington, Dec. 11.-Secretary of
War Daniels told the House naval af
fairs committee today that until there
is an international disarmament agree
ment this country should continue to
build two battleships year, no mat
ter what the size of the navies of
ether countries should be. This state
ment was brought out by Representa-
tive Witherspoon, who sought to have
Daniels say that if foreign navies
were reduced by war or otherwise this
country might interrupt the building
progres.
'Let us suppose, then" said With
erspoon, "that every nation except
ours should destroy all except fifteen
of their ships. Would you continue
to build?"
az would go on just as we are un-
less we have an agreement. We are
not building ships against any partic
ular navy"
Daniels added that this country
would be glad to join in an interna
tional agreement looking to disarma
ment, but until this comes the policy
is to go ahead with the regular build
ling program.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-12-11

Representative Butler developed that
in the event of trouble it requires at
least two years to build two battle.
ships, working all of the private and
government shipbuilding yards. But
Ter asked Daniels if the United States
could begin and complete, after hos
tilities had begun, any considerable
number of battleships.
at would depend on how long hos
tilities lasted" said Daniels. "If they
lasted two years we could not COM
plete any additional battleships, but
if it lasted three we could get few
ready"
Daniels said there is no navy yard
on the Pacific coast capable of turn
ing out modern dreadnaughts.
"We need a place on the Pacific
coast" he added, "for building the big
gest ships"
Representative Hensley, "small
navy" mann, asked:
"What country do you expect trou-
BILE with? ?"
"Dahomney," said Daniels, and
everybody laughed.

Ell Centro and BraWley
Engage in Tie Game

When Umpire Murray called the
game between Brawley and El Centre
at the end of the ninth inning on ac-
count of darkness great shout OF
disappointment went up from the
fans, so great was the interest.
Rarely are fans treated to such q
fast, snappy exhibition as was yes
terday's game at the Fair Grounds
Fast double plays, spectacular catches
in the outfield and wonderful stops
ty the infield had the delighted fans
on their feet in almost every inn
ing.
Brawley showed change in theil
infield, Paige from the Los Angeles
team playing at second and La Longe
taking Dolly Stark's place at short
Stark was injured in Sundays game
at Imperial.
Our new second baseman, Butler
showed up very good in yesterdays
game and fielded his position well.
Kantlehner pitched his usual earn
est, heady game, but Baeder was al
his best, allowing only three scattered
hits.
If we are to be treated to this class
of baseball the management is en-
titled to better patronage than was
shown at yesterdays game.
Umpire Murray, who was offici.
ating in the place of Phyle, was a
show in himself.

TO Davy jones' Locker
French Statement.

Paris, Dec. 11.-Following is the of
ficial statement issued from the war
office today:
"The enemy showed some activity
in the region of Ypres yesterday. He
directed attacks against our lines
three of which were completely re-
pulsed. At only one point of the front
did the Germans succeed in reaching
cne of our trenches in the first line.
"For our part, we continued to ad
vance in the direction of the enemy's
lines in the region of Arras and in
that of Juvincourt.
"In the Argonne we pushed forward
several of our trenches and rolled
back two German attacks.
"In the region of Varennes, we con
solidated our gains of the preceding
days, German artillery showing great
activity but being unable to inflict
any losses. Conditions are the same
on heights of the Meuse.
"In the forest of La Petre our ad-
vances were continued and maintained
"To the south of Thanh we cap
tured the railroad station of Aspach.
"On the rest of the front in the
Vosges there were artillery duels."

Washington, Dec. 1.-Two Span
iards--Vincente Vidal and Eduardo
Basugl--were executed yesterday at
Tampico by order of Caballero, gov
crnor of Tamaulipas. A third, Julian
Gorilla, is held under sentence of
