Don Davenport Is Fined
$1,000 In Mexicali Court

keeping of the wine-making equip
ment on the place. The deal did not
go through, but later Davenport
brought, the matter up with other rep
of the corporation and
secured what he thought was bind
ing lease and upon terms much more
favorable than Barnes would allow
him. But, so runs the story, under
the Mexican law, the signature of the
secretary must be obtained to the
lease and it was not secured, the sec
retary siding in with some of the
heavy stockholders that the terms of
the lease were too generous.
Without legal right to the ranch,
then, Davenport under the Mexican
law was held culpable of grave
breach when he broke into the ranch
house and dispOssessed the secretary
of the company.

CaleXico Chronicle: Don Davenport,
the Calexico realty man, who has been
detained in Jail in Mexicali since Sat
urday, had not been released last
night, but was being held in default
of $1,000 (gold). This represents the
amount he was fined in the court Of
the first instance yesterday morning.
Another version of the trouble in
which Davenport is involved was told
on the streets yesterday. The chief
point of difference was whether Dav-
export was the lessee of the Franco
American. rancho, as he believed.
According to this story, Davenport
some time ago negotiated with Peter
Barnes, heavy stockhclder in the
company, for lease on the property.
Davenport was quoted a certain rem
tai and was asked to give a bond to
cover the rental and insure the safe

Chicago, Jan. 12.-"This is the cru

thousands more will die.
"Already one-third of a generation
has been wiped out of existence.
There are no babies in Poland now
under years of age. Between 3,OO0,-
900 and 100000 people have died OF
starvation and exposure since the be-
ginning of the war. Can the world
stand idly by and let nation be ex-

John S. Smulski, banker and former
Illinois state treasurer, sat in the

nearest his heart.
The reporter remembered Mr..
Smulski as a jovial man Of portly
appearance, the picture of ruddy well

Deep circles under his eyes tell of
Ioverwork under the pressure of a
deep personal grief.
From private sources Mr.. Smulskl
has received within the last few days
an account of the crisis in Poland
which he calls "a story almost past

1t was on these reports largely that
the principal Polish organizations of

OF PYTHIAS
HOLD BIG MEETING

The Joint session of the Knights of
Pvthias lodges Of Brawley, Calexico,
Holtville and Ell Centro last evening
at Pythian Temple, Davis building,
was one of the greatest fraternal as
semblies ever held here. At the last
minute word was received from Her.
bert A. Croghan, grand chancellor, of
San Diego, that owing to illness he
would be unable to be present. The
installation of the elective officers of
the A lodges was therefore under the
direction of Deputy Grand Chancellor
Ell. lockwood of Calexico.
There were numerous visitors aside
from the members of the four lodges,
and the local lodge, directed by f. J.
Clark, new chancellor commander,
served refreshments.
There were a number of speeches
in harmony with the objects of the
order and good Pythian fellowship
prevailed.

By an English Diplomat.

By an English Diplomat.
Today, for the first time since Au-
gust, 1914, it becomes evident to those
in the very heart of the British coun-
sells that the great man of destiny,
is to emerge from the crowd Of
muddling politicians and show himself
undeniably as the one man in Europe
powerful enough to control mad
dened continent.
The univ sal dissatisfaction
throughout the British empire with
the way in which the present cabinet
has met the great crisis of the life
and death struggle with Germany pre-
sages his coming-more than likely in
the character of a new premier.
England now faces the fact that she
cannot "muddle through" and the
whole nation is cropping blindly for
the great guide who will lead it out
of the morass of inefficiency in which
it has been wandering.
Never has the stage been complete
ly set for the entrance of the great
actor, the super-leader around whom
not only the British people, but their
allies, will gladly rally.
This man, if he is within the length
and breadth of the British empire, will
have to be first and foremost leader
of the workers.
He must come from the people, for
the suspicious, hard-pressed English
mechanics will now trust in this final
moment only one born in their own
class.
In this war of machines, the front
is no more important than the factory
Germany's gains to date can be cred
tied to the firm of Krupp with more
Justice than to any strategist on her
general staff.
The only way England, too, can
hope to win the war is by rallying to
the cause the best efforts OF every
mechanic in the realm.
! The man who can do this will be the
man to pull the Allies through.
He will be the great figure OF the
war.

further violence, Giovanni hurried to

San Diego is as friendly and as in
innate with San Diego as with Los
Angeles, but Los Angeles is now and
must always remain in great part the
depot of supplies for the people of
this valley, while every producing re.
gion finds a natural tendency to buy
where it sells.
NJ one can doubt that in future
years a large portion of the products
of the valley will be loaded on trucks
at the individual farms and unloaded
two days later from the same trucks
at Los Angeles warehouses, the saw
ing in drayage and handling at both
ends of the line proving a great econ
omy.
Travelling by automobile is reaching
immense proportions, and in the years
to come, not to speak of transcon-
tinental traffic, there is bound to be
an immense travel between Arizona
and New Mexico points on the east
and the coast points. This will be es-
pecially true during the summer, and
that traffic will all come to this city,
and here take either fork of the road
that leading to San Diego or that 60
ing to Los Angeles.
Governor johnson and his admin
istration have dealt well with Imper-
ial Valley, and this great work now
to be begun is supreme illustration
of this fact.
On to Dixieland.
Fred Hoffman, contractor for build
ing the section of the San Diego State
Highway, announces that actual con-
struction will be begun January Is and
that he will crowd the work for COM
'pletion by June 1.
| This means that for the coming
summer vacation trips there will be a
continuous excellent highway from El
Centre to San Diego, which has been
the dream of this valley for years.
AS the tendency has gained to spend
vacations on the mountains, the com
pletion of this highway will make il
,,ouc;, rooro orroooh1o for va1lov roSi
dents to follow this practice.
This will bring the resorts within
3 or 4 hours easy riding during next
summer, and probably many more
families will take advantage of thi:
opportunity. The head of famil!
can quit his weeks work late Satur
day afternoon, pass the evening ant
Sunday with the family on the noun
tains, and come home Monday morn
ing in time for work.

David Lloyd Georges Definition of
the War.

This is not a passing shower.
1t is deluge. 1t is convulsion
of nature. 1t is a cyclone which
is tearing up by the roots the
ornamental plants of modern So
ciety and wrecking some of the
flimsy trestle bridges of modern
civilization.
It is an earthquake which is up
heaving the very rocks of Euro
pean life; it is one of those seis-
mic disturbances in which nations
leap forward or fall backward
generations in a single bound. All
this chattering about relaxing a
rule or suspending custom is
out of place. You cannot haggle
with an earthquake.-Minister
Lloyd-George before Glasgow
workmen.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-01-12
Ell Centro Is To Be Most Important Highway Junction
Is World. War About To
Uncover Man Of Destiny!


wav up in the world can understand
the feeling of the factory laborers to-
ward their employers end toward
government which has been among the
most backward in the world in the
matter of laws to protect its work
men.
The workers of all nations are still
SUSPICIOUS of their rulers. Even the
war has not served to crush them back
into complete docility.
When the British worker believes
that the war is his war, a struggle to
protect his own interests and not alone
his masters, then he will labor or
fight to win.
The great man of the war must be,
not only a fighter, an executive and
a patriots but prophet whom the
great mass of sullen British working
people will follow.
Only one man in all the vast reaches
of the empire fits this pattern. His
name is David Lloyd-George.
His shadow has already fallen
across the premier's chair. From min
lister of munitions he soon may step
up to Asquith's place.
But if Lloyd-George does emerge
triumphant from the present political
crisis, he will not be merely the pre-
mier of England. He will be virtu-
ally the first chief of the Entente Al
lies, the most powerful international
group in the history of the world.
Why would Lloyd-George be so
much greater than the other English
premiers?
Simply because he is the only man
in all England today to whom the COM
mon people respond en- masse.
He is not a mere product of the po-
litical whirligig. He fought his way
to the heights of fame through sheer
courage and merit. And he is still
what he always was--a democrat with
small d. a
When British commoners hear his
speeches they know they are listening
to the words of one who has trod the
same hard road Of poverty and injus-
tice along which they are toiling. They
know that the little stoop-shouldered
Welshman is the product OF an hum
BILE cottage, not a manor hall. They
recall his bitter fight to make the
land-owning peers-the most selfish
class in the world-pay their just
proportion of the national taxes. They
know how he bore for years the sneers
and iibes of the reactionaries while he
fought in Parliament for better labor
laws and just taxation.
When he calls, "More cannon! to
the workers, they know it is no trick
ster's cry meant only to enslave them
further to their industrial masters.
They trust LloydGeorge as they
trust no other British statesman.
And this is why the little Welshman
may soon step into the widest politi-
Imperial Valley press., 1916-01-12

cal breach in recent English history.
The man, yd-George, is as re-
markable as the situation which has
brought him to the verge of<@orld
power. ~g7R
His father, poor schoolmaster, died
when David was a young child, and
the boy was cared for by an uncle, who
was a shoemaker in Wales. The shoe
maker uncle not only did his best to
educate his bright nephew, but instilled
into the boys very soul that burning
desire to help the workers which has
been the chief characteristic of his en-
tire career.
At % David yd-George was prac-
ticing law, but it was not until some
years later that he sprang into prom
inence as the "boy councilman" Of
Carnovan county. At the age of 27
Lloyd George went to parliament,
where his first speech foreshadowed
his ultimate power as an orator.
From his first day in Commons he
fought ceaselessly against the special
privileges by which the peers and
great property owners prospered at
the expense of the common people.
Through his battle for social legis-
lation he became the idol of the Brit
ish workingman. And it is this repu-
tation that has made him the strong
man of the present crisis.
His strength is shown today by the
fact that he has the support of the
conservative Morning Post as well as
the Observer, which is the foremost
Sunday publication.
On England's whole political hori-
zon there is no possible successor to
Asquith save. Lloyd-George.
And what if this great man of the
people shall mount to the place OF
power at the head of the allied ma
tions? What if he does succeed in per-
suading British workmen that this IS
labor's war as well as capitals?
May this not have signal effect
on the minds of the German working
men in the trenches and the gun
works?
It is not too much to hope that they
will ask their rulers why they should
fight British labor led by man OF
the people.
Certain it is that the name of Lloyd
George will be heard in the German
trenches in the voices of more can
non. in the shrek of more shells and
in the battle cry of new armies IN
khaki
And when the great peace comes, II
Lloyd George is still at the helm of
Britain he will stand forth as the one
great world figure the war produced
Imperial Valley press., 1916-01-12

Every person who is paying any at
tention to the European war has read
of the tremendous fighting during the
last few days for possession of small
town with an unpronounceable name,
the Importance of which rests on the
fact that it is meeting place for a
number OF wagon roads which radiate
in numerous directions.
The crossroads has always been a
place of distinction and especially did
it become such where the railroads
crossed.
The significance of the above dis
patch cannot be overlooked. The
state is to begin at once the construc-
tion of the highway from Yuma to
Los Angeles via Ell Centre, at this
point to connect with the paved high
way now nearing completion that
leads to San Diego.
The Press believes this will in time
prove of as great Importance to this
city and to the valley at large as will
the completion in about year of the
railroad from San Diego to connect
here with the Southern Pacific.
The world learned several years aga
of the Importance of the pleasure and
passenger automobile, but it has taken
th great war to demonstrate the ad-
vantage of the auto truck, which in
the economy of the world will here
after have greater place in industry
than has been dreamed of.
1t is twice as far from Ell Centre
to Los Angeles as to San Diego, and
if distance were the only element to
be figured on in determining the i'm
PORTAGE of this highway the San Diego
road would have the great advantage
But there are two other points that
must be considered-the grade and
the market.
On the San Diego road there always
will be heavy grade to overcome
along with the dangerous precipices
through the mountains, while the long
approach to San Gorgonio pass will
leave no heavy grade or other sug.
gestiOn of mountain work connected
with the Los Angeles highway. Thus
in spite of the added distance, from g
freighting point of view the Los An
geles road probably always will hav,
the advantage.
But freighting naturally is heavies
to the center of population, and ther'
are ten times as many consumers fol
valley produce on the Los Angeles
road as on the San Diego road.
