STRIPPED of Police Badges.

Los Angeles, Jan. 23.-Patrolmen
George Bustillos and C. p. Lee were
stripped of badges by Inspector George
home of the Los Angeles police force
today, accused of attempt at eXtor-
tion from Grace Young, who had
complained to Home several days ago
that she was compelled to pay graft
to the officers. Home made an inves
tigation, finding indications of the
truth of the woman's statements. He
concealed himself in the woman's
apartments early this morning, ac-
cording to Home, and the two Off
GERS entered the house occupied by
Miss Young and after preliminaries
suggested to the woman that she
"come across" She demurred at first
but finally passed a marked So gold
piece to Lee Home says he stepped
forward and took their badges.
Chief Sebastian later announced the
case of the two officers would be
laid before District Attorney Wool
wine for prosecution. The men are
suspended pending further investiga
tion and action by the district attor-
ney.

Real Estate Men Agree
Situation Much Improved

Real estate operators from Los An
geles and San Diego who have visited
this city recently, as well as Ell Cen
tro operators, are agreed that the last
two weeks have brought big i'm
provement in the real estate market
Ir those cities as well as here there
has appeared on the scene recently a
big increase in inquiries for real es-
tate, and it is apparent that there is
much more active period at hand.
Locally there is evidence of this in
the increased patronage of the hotels
and apartment houses, which are now
getting well filled.
Another indication of the improve
ment in the situation is that the NOV
ing picture theatres are much better
patronized, many strangers appearing
at these places.

Sealing Up Hungary.

Petrograd, Jan. 23.-Although the
Carpathians now are snowbound and
frostbound under the most rigorous pc
riod of the winter and the operations
on both sides consequently are slack
ened, the steady sealing up of Hun
gary from the north, south and west
is becoming daily more urgent prob
lem for Germany's ally.
The Russians now hold solidly the
Dukla and Uzok passes and in Buko-
wilma the army has just taken the inn
portant pass of Vorokhta on the east.
The Austrians are retreating rapidly
from Dorna Watra through the terri
tory populated by Roumanians.
1t is this imminent crisis which has
sent the Austrian emperor's heir with
his new foreign minister, Count Steph-
an Burian, and several military eX-
perts, to visit the Kaiser at German
headquarters. Their mission unques-
tionably is to secure immediate sup
port against the movement in Austria
for seeking peace. 1t is known that
over a month ago, during the days
when the Austrians were in Belgrade,
Count Berchtold sanctioned certain
steps in Athens with view to medi-
ating between Servia and Austria.
Austria at that time was willing to
declare her honor satisfied, but Signor
Venizelos, the Greek premier, refused
to assist the Austrian initiative, which
was soon obliterated by Servia's great
victory.
Every week makes the necessity for
a settlement more urgent and, despite
Count Won Burian's political connec-
tions, strong influences in Austria are
looking for basis for direct action.
They complain that a portion of the
Austrian army has been sent against
the French and English and that. a
larger portion is mixed with the va
rious German corps in the north and
always under German leadership. Also
they assert that Austria's political po-
sition has been constantly sacrificed
tc Germany's eastern and western
campaigns.
This peace party would reluctantly

Investment Company Election.

Los Angeles, Jan. 23.-Harry
Chandler, Stoddard Jess, J. E. Fish
burn and Austin O. Martin, candidates
favored by the present management
of the Los Angeles Investment Com
pany, were today announced as elect
ed to the board of directors of that
concern.
Joseph Scott, DR.. John R. Haynes
and j. J. Byrne, members of the pro-
tective Association, are elected to the
board also, leaving the association in
a minority on the board of directors.
Representative of the Protective
Association declare they will contest
the election. Hundreds thronged the
company's building and amid great
confusion voiced opinions of approval
or disapproval of the election.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-01-23

The increase in these lines of busi-
ness is creating a demand for new
houses, and plans are being worked
out for a number. Jacob Duman
alone is to build eight small cottages,
and there are several fine residences
being planned.
1t is probable several large farms
will be subdivided into 2Os and 4Os
to meet the increasing demand for
smaller farms, though subdivisions in
to smaller tracts will probably not be
numerous this spring.
Real estate men believe that there
will be decided increase in activity
next month and that the busy real
estate period will continue through the
summer this year because of the pres
ence of a large number of eastern
people on the coast, drawn by the two
Iexpositions.

CLUB HOLDS
BUSINESS SESSION

One of the most important business
meetings of the Women's Ten Thou
sand Club was held at Davis hall
Thursday afternoon Mrs. w. S. Faw-
cett reported on the clubs finances
and five delegates were elected to at
tend the county convention of wom-
ems clubs to be held at Calexico, Sat
urday, February 6.
Following a reading of the revised
county bylaws members discussed
points of interest, which subsequently
were voted on and adopted.
The application for membership of
Mrs. Harry Greer Jones was received,
voted on and accepted by the club
members.
The following members were elect
ed delegates to attend the county con-
vention at Calexico on February 6:
Mrs. c. J. Ritz, Mrs. C. E. Paris, Mrs.
B. p. Hemeon, Mrs. s. Fl. Embury
and Mrs. J. F. Seymour.
Miss Velma Kirkpatrick sang two
delightful solos, which were followed
by a book review by Mrs. Ray Edgar.
Mrs. Violet Campbell, chairman of
the legislative section of the club,
has organized parliamentary drill
class, to be held fifteen minutes be-
fore the regular club meetings. 1t is
hoped that club members will take an
active interest.
Tea was served by the Philanthropic
section under the direction of Mrs.
Violet Calapheil, the proceeds ito bc
used by this section of the club.
The next club meeting, which will
be held February 4, will be under the
direction of Mrs. R. B. Vaile, who is
head of the civic sections. Miss Mary

High School Building
Assured by the Election

1t is now known that the $125,000
bonds will be issued for an addition
to the high school, though the total
vote is not yet tabulated. The city
voted 13 to in favor of the bonds,
with total vote of 269, and it is be-
lieved every school district voted fa-
vorably.
This will give Ell Centre 100000
high school property and, while this
seems a big investment, before the
building can be completed there will
be attendance of 400 pupils, and with
in two or three years, at the rate of
growth of the city, there will be 600
pupils, or as many as the new build
ing can accommodate
The plan is to extend the auditor
ium building 70 the southwark and to
build two wings extending southward
from the auditorium, for classrooms.

Revival to ClOse-Tomorrow will
mark the close of one of the best re-
vivals ever held in Ell Centro. 1t
has been a rare privilege to hear the
gifted evangelist, Bruce Brown, and
many will remember him with graft
tude for his helpful messages. No
doubt great audiences will assemble
at the two services tomorrow to hear
the last addresses of the meetings.
Many have been persuaded to begin
the Christian life already and others
have promised to take their places
in the church soon. The faithful
teaching of the Scriptures, which
characterized the work of DR.. Brown,
will bear fruit for a long time in Ell
Centre. His many friends will re-
gret to see him leave.

Manchester, N. H., Jan. 23.-Thaws
departure from Manchester for Con-
cord, where ne will be turned over to
the New York authorities for extra
dition on the charge of conspiracy,
was triumphant. The slayer of White
rode to the station in trolley car,
and along the route he was greeted
by cheers from the townspeople. A
delegation of town officials and
friends gave him rousing sendoff at
the station. Mrs. Nellie Davidson. his

"1'll be back to see you very soon.'

England's Seizure of Dacia
To Be Contested at Law

Washington, Jan. 23.-The state de-
partment officials today dropped tenn
porarily consideration of the case of
the steamship Dacia, which Great
Britain says she will seize on her
voyage to Rotterdam with a cargo of
cotton. 1t is pointed out that there
is nothing further to do but wait for
the taking of the vessel by the Brit
ish man-of-war, and formal protest
then is expected to be lodged with the
London authorities and legal fight
to have the ship drafted as an Ameri
can vessel will be started.
Washington, Jan. pa communi-
cation from Sir Edward Grey direct
to the state department today made
Great Britain's hostile attitude toward
the Dacia palmer, if possible, than the
statement of facts given out last night
at the British embassy.
The main points in Sir Edwards
communication are, however, substan-
TALLY the same as those paraphrased
last night for the press by Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British ambassador.
State department officials took spe
cial note Of the phraseology of their
declaration and its important varia
tion from previous official pronounce
ments of the British government on
the seizure of ships.
The officials realize that Great
Britain may capture" the vessel as
a prize of war because she still re-
CARDS the Dacia as the property, in
sufficient degree at least, of Ger
many. She might, however, merely
seize the vessel, as other seizures have
been made within the past four
months, and release both the cargo and
the crew.
One of the officials said tonight
that it was problematical what the
English view would be as to the de-
tention or release of the crew. He
said that the case would be different
from any other which has arisen, be-
cause the United States had been of
ficially warned by Sir Edward Grey
and by Sir Cecil Spring Rice that they
would regard the Dacia as in some
manner yet underlined the property of
the enemies of Great Britain.
This official thinks that the British
foreign office might take the view
that the crew ought to be held. This
would make the Dacia case one of far
reaching Importance, as the seizure of
the Greenbrier has become, because
OF the allegation that the American
flag on the Greenbrier suffered an af-
front.
Several officials at the department
commented privately today on the
view Of John Bassett Moore, printed
today, in which he declared substan-
TALLY that the present methods of
dealing with captures by courts in the
English fashion and the placing of
contact mines in commercial waters
were wholly indefensible. There was
an agreement with views of the for
mer counsellor by these officials, but
Secretary of State Bryan would not
discuss Mr.. Moore's propositions.
Dacia Delayed.
Galveston, Jan. 23.-The sailing of
the Dacia was delayed by storm.
Probably it will not sail today.
