"Recallers Anarchists and
Hypocrites," "Cries Hamilton

Denouneing the recallers as "hypo-
critics. anarchists and agitators." Wal
ter Hamilton, president of the board
Of directors Of the Imperial Irrigation
District, preeipitated a stormy scene
at a discussion last night at the See
ley school house between the anti-re-
callers and the proponents of the re
call.
Several speakers in favor Of the re-
call had preceded Hamilton and ne
had scarcely started his address when
he branded the recallers as "hypocrites,
anarchists and agttators." In an in
stant a dozen men in the hall were on
their feet, brandishing their fists and
calling for him to retract the state
ment.
Judge Gregg, who presided over the
meeting, succeeded in restoring order,
but fresh complications arose when he
declined TO request Hamilton to re-
tract the aspersion. Some minutes
passed before the recallers prevailed
upon him to make the request and
during that time Hamilton stood on
the platform in silence. He bowed to
the request of the chairman after the

demand for retraction had been made.
The meeting al SeeIey last night was
originally slated solely for series of
addresses by those against the recall.
Seeley residents and ranehers in that
district became apprised of the fact
that only one side of tn argument
was 10 be presented and The Irrigation
District officers received telephone
messages yesterday which stated that
there would be no attendance at the
meeting unless the proponents Of the
recall wete allowed an opportunity to
speak

Hand stated this morning that the
northern states had recovered from
the effects of the storms earlier i'm
the season and would probably de
velop heavy shipments for Christmas
trade.
There has been an unusually heavy
demand for california turkeys this
year because of the fact that early
rains in the Middle West and East
have had much the same effect on
turkeys in those sections a did the
storms in Washington and Oregon
Consequently there has been "a heavy
demand throughout the United States
for California birds becaus of the
shortage Of turkeys and il is believed
this condition will offset the addition

Platform on Which All
Recall Nominees Stand

It has been charged by those op-
posed to the recall that we have never
Informed the people what We really
stand for, in regard to the issues now
up in the recall campaign. In reply
to that, we submit the following:
Platform.
First-We are in favor of acquiring
the system at the earliest possible
date. so as to terminate Southern Pa
cifc control.
Second-We are opposed to the die
Itation of the Southern Pacific and all
other interests adverse to that of the
actual water users and taxpayers Of
the district
Thrd-We are opposed to retaining
NJ. w Conklins and c. K. lockwood
as the attorney and engineer, because
of their efforts to induce the board to
build a Mexican heading, and canals
to supply water to Mexican lands, to
the detriment of the water users on
this side of the line
Fourth-We are in favor Of the di
rectors Of the district becoming the
directors of the Mexican corporation,
in order that, so far az possible, the
people have control OF the Mexican
company
Fifth-We favor putting the present
canal into condition to deliver all the
water needed u lands now under cul-
,tivation, ut the earliest possible date.
SiXth-We favor an arrangement
whereby the dredgers can be moved
across the line and put to work at
once, even if we have to become re
sponsible for them.
SeVenth-We are in favor of the
strictcst economy in the management
of the districts affairs and the pur-
chase of all supplies i'm the manner

Boston. Nov. 30.-The opinion that
competition for trade in China be-

Shibusawa, the japanese financier.
and DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard university. at a
banquet tendered Baron Shibusawa by
the Chamber of Commerce tonight.
They agreed that tactful and sympa-
thetic action would be required to OBJ

gendered by rivalry for the China

In spite of The fact thai excitement

the vicinity of salton sea has subsided

interested in the possibiuties In san
Diego the potentiaiities of the discov-
cry are realized more keeuIy than by
Imperial Valley That wa the report
brought to FL Centre this morning by
". j. Hurd, who has been actively en-
gagged in pressing developments al the
oil fields since the find was re
ported.
Closely identified with the oil in
dustry, Mr.. Hurd is convcrsant with
the conditions which exist i'm the dis
triet north of Brawley. He pronounced
the indications of oil excellent and
said:
Il haven't any doubt but that some
one Will strike an oil well there which
Will be in the nature of surprise"
Even foreign corporations have cen
tered their attention upon the possi-
bilities of oil in the barren waste north
of the Third Standard Parallel and west
of the Salton sea, where Mr.. Hurd said
practically every foot of land had
been filed on. The Dutch Shell Com
pany, European corporation, he said
had filed a number of claims after a
representative of the concern had
viewed the land; the Spreckels inter
ests and Colonel Mcclure Of san Diego.
he stated had filed on 1900 acres.
besides scores of other and smaller fill
ings made by individuals
Drilling has actually started. man
named Harrington having begun op-
erations, he said and others are plan
ming to begin drilling soon.
The discomfort of camp life is still
in the preponderance in the oil dis
trict. Water fit for drinking has to
be hauled 10 miles, he stated and it
is only on alternate days that the long
trip is made.
Concerning the original spot where
it was reported an oil seepage had
been discovered. Mr.. Hurd said that
water, mingled with Oil is now flow
ing more freely from the hole and the
flow of gas is more pronounced. AT
first il was possible to ignite only the
gas which was released from the wa
ter by the bursting of bubbles, but now
the flow is more steady. and contin-
ual flare, some seconds in duration,
is possible.
More oil claims are being filed by
Mr. Hurd today. He Is in the employ
of Tyler Brothers, owners of consid-
cradle area of land i'm the oil district,
and he has been actively associated
with the development of the district
thus far.

REPUDIATES STORY

Professor Randall, principal of lei
Cen;ro high school. has received let
ter from Professor Hoekenberry. prin-
cipal of Imperial high school, stat
ing that he has seen an article i'm the
Progress intimating that he had been
knocked down by El Centro high
school boys at a football game and
denying any such attack by the boys.
He says he was not even present at
the game where the act is alleged to
nave been committed. and denies
knowledge of any il-feeling between
himself and the El Centre boys
Before the Progress published the
false story, the Press heard a rumor
and investigated it, finding there was

Late Developments
Fav0ring the Allies

New York, Dec. There can be no
doubt that affairs in the Balkans are
turning more favorably 10 the Allies.

of the Teutons to the south. while
not wholly unexpected. was of a ma
tnre that could hardly have been an
ticipated by the sending of large
force OF men to be ready in case f
emergency. when the drive took place.
weeks were required to get compe-
tent army in the field, so great was
the distance for the men to be sent.
But now the French and English have
100000 men in Greece and Serbia, Rus
sia has $4,000 men in Rumania on
the bulgarian border and Italy is be-
lieved to be sending relief army
through Albania.
Greece has given assurance of as
complete compliance with the Allies
demands as possible, and Rumania
which had signified her intent to join
the Allies when they should have a
half-million men in the Balkans, is
believed to be preparing for an inva-
sion of Austrian Bukowina, with
view to anneXing that country.
This invasion of Austrian territory
would be a flanking movement against
the Teutonic armies of the south and
would greatly cripple the latter's move
ments in the Balkans.
The great steel wall surrounding the
Teutons and through which their south
ern drive penetrated, now is as men
acing as ever, and the Balkan break
in the wall may very soon be closed.
With this condition come reports of
rioting by women in Berlin with cries
for bread. and other indications that
the Germans are suffering increased
privations.

struction to BIZ assumed by the district,
by the board of directors OF the Irri-
cation District at meeting this morn
ing. The action is designed primarily
to render possible the charging of the
East Side High Line canal to insure
a flow Of water during the summer
sufficient To meet all needs.
A. the present time the canal is
badly in need of dredging and. while
il is supposed to be carrying roo feet
of water the actual amount contained
falls short of that figure.
1t was stated by district officials
this morning that Water Company No.
. will be allowed credit for The work
it has done on the East Side High Line
canal in the event that the district
takes over that portion of the system
when the system is acquired.
The resolution espoused by Director
Ferguson and which was adopted by
the 4 members present, Director Nc.
Bride being absent, follows:
THAT in the event Water Company
No. builds dredge for use on the
East Side High Line canal, said dredge
to be designed and constructed under
the supervision of our engineer, we
agree to reimburse Water Company
No. 5, unless they are otherwise re-
imbursed, for all work on said canal
in Mexico said work to be done under
! ha # II, ~
in the event of the district acquiring
the said canal on the American side
the district agrees to reimburse Water
Company No. 8 for said dredge, beeom-
ing the owner thereof"
The dredge will also be used for
work on the canal in Mexico from the
new Lawrence heading to the interna-
tional boundary line.
