Business Firms in City.

A census of all business houses
of the city of Ell Centro has been
completed by the advertising de-
partment of The Press.
Some of the facts and figures OBJ
tanned will be Of interest to business
men and the general public. For in
stance there are 1853 business firms in
the city of Ell Centre.
A vast majority of these are on
Main street, over 100 being listed in
this way.
1t will also be interesting to know
that % firms are engaged in the au-
tomobile business in one way or an
other, including radiators. tires anc
accessories. There are several firms
in the used car business and one who
does a rental business exclusively.
The dealers in automobiles ane
way or the other, are far ahead OF
any other line of business. ReaI
estate dealers come next, but it is
impossible to designate the exact
number because of the fact that the
state lists over 100 who may legally
do business in this city, and the num-
ber of them maintaining offices is
less than one-fouth that.
Dry goods stores, restaurants, cigar
stands are listed approximately the
same anywhere from six to dozen.

The story of the self-starvation of
Terence MacSwiney, Lord Mayor of
Cork, probably will become one of the
most moving chapters of the centuries
long history of the Irish struggle.
No other controversy has stirred Great
Britain so deeply as this since the one
that centered upon Cecil Rhodes,
when the Jameson raid was baked by
Jaul Kruger and the raiders imprison-
ed.
The campaign in England for Mac
Swiney's release from prison has been
apart from all political and party
considerations and even the King was
drawn into it. The movement in Mac
Swiney's behalf was mainly humani-
tartan and enlisted tender-h hearted
people of all factions but was urged
by others with arguments of party
strategy.
"MacSwney dead and canonized in
the hearts of the Irish people with
Wolf Tone and the Manchester mar
tyrs would be a more valuable asset
to the Sim Fein than MacSwiney

freedom for MacSwiney might weak

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25.-With bit
ing irony, Senator James D. Phelan
Saturday night at Trinity Auditorium
branded Harry Chandler "and his
paper the Times" as a pro-Japanese
in action and told how "a few months
ago" he had been compelled to appeal
to the secretary of state to prevent
Chandler from selling 100000 acres
of Mexican land on CALIFORNIA; border
to Nipponese purchasers.
"The secretary of state" said the
senator, wired Mr.. Chandler that it
was against the policy of this govern
n:ent to allow Japs to settle near our
border. Chandler called the deal off,
but later ! was told it was not on ac-
count of the message from Washing
ton, but because he did want to pay n
large part of the S14,000,0 900 he would
have received as income tax"

Chandler negotiated, as president of

Governor M. Balarezo, in an inter
view granted to the representative
of the Imperial Valley Press yesterday
stated that in line with the new poll
cies recently expressed by him as to
the future development of Lower CAL
fornia. experiments will be introduced
in the immediate future determining
the feasibility Of the growth of cane
sugar south CT the international line.
lne condition of the Cuban Market
and financial upheaval in that coun.
try, he stated is the reason for the
attempt to grow the product in Baja
California, together with the uncer-
tainty of the cotton situation. at the
present time considered the stable
product of Lower California.
Other improvements are now in the
process Of construction, including a
$4,000 school at Tijuana, and another
at San Luis. in Sonora state. near
Yuma.
A $4,000 bridge is being construct
river, some miles south of Mexcali
also. he said.
He expressed himself as being de-
cidedly in favor of the irrigation pro-
ject as mapped out by the directors
of the Imperial Irrigation District on
their recent tour south of the line with
him. 1t is his object to utilize every
acre of ground in Lower California and
Sonora and stated that there are g.
100000 acres at the present time that
could be placed on paying basis, were
sufficient water obtainable.
A commission of engineers from
Mexico City will be asked to come to
Mexicali to confer with the American
engineers constructing the proposed
dam site and canals in what will be
known as the All-American Canal. he
said.
Being an engineer himself, and prob
ably one of the best Informed in Mex

explained by the directors of the irri-
cation district and expressed himself
a, being heartily in favor of any plan
that they might see fit to propose for

was whether the Catholic clergy, rep
resenting church which holds suicide
to je crime, could consistently ad-
minister the sacramentS to hunger
strikers. The Kings reply through
the secretary of state for war, to the
petition of members of Parliament was
generally interpreted to mean that the
Kings personal leaning was toward
granting a pardon. But, since Premier
Lloyd George and the foreign minister,
A. Bonar Law, were at the same time
issuing arguments against clemency
for the Lord Mayor, it was evident
that any action in that direction by
the King would be against the advice
of his ministers.
The newspapers published many edi-
torials and letters setting forth, on
one hand, that King George should not
be embarrassed by direct appeals to
him and, on the other hand, that he
should and had the right to exercise
his nominal constitutional power of
pardoning.
The Weekly Nation, which is one of
the most advanced liberal organs and
not generally rated as a supporter
of monarchy, argued that this was an
occasion for the King to o.vindicate his
constitutional right and protect the
country against the growing autocracy
of the cabinet.
There were many other arguments
to the same effect, one historical writ
er, combating the theory that the
King always had been cipher in such
matters, exhumed a new story in the
