ITALY, HOT WITH ANGER, OPENS WAR 40.0CO Men to Be Landed at Tripoli, Reputed Plan of Invading Force. TWO NATIONS COMPARED Earopean Critics Condemn Ottoman Empire for Neglecting XarjrIn . vadlns Torre Will Hue Hard Time In Africa. LONDON. Sept. 39. A state of mar exists ttn Italy and Turkey and hostilities have begun. No sooner had the time limit fixed by the ultimatum expired than. Ignoring the Turkish con. ctliatory request for delay. Italy de clared war. The Turklih representa tives In Italy received their passports. The Turkish commander at Tripoli was asked to surrender the town, but declined, and the Italian forces Imme diately occupied Tripoli and Benghazi. Apparently the Turk, offered no re sistance, hut this Is only an assump tion, as Immediately on landing the Italians evidently seiied tha telegraph line. A Constantinople dispatch makes no mention of reststance and a mere pro test by tne Governor would be in line with Turkey's announced policy. The Turkish Cabinet resigned when war was declared and a new ministry was formed under Said Pasha, but re taining the former able War Minister. Mahmoud Shefket Pasha. Turkey continues her efforta to se cure intervention by the powers. In tha meantime Italy is actively pursuing hostilities. Italian battleships are re ported to have appeared off Smyrna and Salonika. Cralaer Lamas Trespa. An Italian cruiser landed troops at Prevesa. after destroying a Turkish torpedo boat destroyer, and the Italian fleet has blockaded the Tripolltan coast. There are unconfirmed reports that Turkey Intends to send an ultimatum to Greece to abandon her claims on Creta and Is m.vulng troops on the Tliessa llan frontier. The greatest activity ensued the receipt of news that war had been de clared and notification of a blockade was sent out. It Is understood the vari ous governments will receive the custo mary neutrality notices and will devote their diplomatic efforts to bring hostil ities to an end and especially to avoid ing complications In the Balkans. According to Italian advices, the gov ernment plans to land 40.0tM men In Tripoli by October 7. No bombardment will be attempted unless the property of Italian or other foreigners ia en dangered. It la understood the Italian ministers have elaborated a scheme for the administration of Tripoli with the Iuk of the Abruzzl as first governor. Among the first acts of the newsgovern ment will be the abolition of many taxes now Imposed on the Tripolltan. Vienna reports that Trlopll has placed no less than seven army corps on a war footing and la mobilizing not only to wards the south, but also In the north, reinforcing her army corps In Turin, Milan and Verona. A dispatch to the Dally News, from Tripoli, describing the Italian demand for tha surrender of the town, says that tha governor promised a definite de rision In a few hours. Thereupon tha Italian officer said six hours would be allowed for non-combatants to quit tha town. The Interview was conducted In the most cordial terms. Satlaae Are Caaspared, The London papers, discussing respec tive forces of the combatants, comment on the weak condition to which Turkey Siaa been reduced by neglect of hei navy. She controls a fine armv, ap proaching l.vvO.ooe men and 100 guns, but the great fighting machine Is im prisoned In Kurope because Turkey Is powerless against Italv's effective fleet. Professor Norton, of tha American archaeological mission, in a second In terview, said the Italians' difficulties will only begin when tliey have landed. There are only three towns from tha whole coast worthy the attention of a gunboat Tripoli- Benghasl and Derna. There la no harbor and the ships must anchor a mile from shore. The Invad ing force must take with It food sup plies, as it will get no food from tha hostile Arabs. It w'll be a matter of years, conclud ed Profersor Norton, for tha Italians to overcome the Turks. A dispatch to the Times from Con stantinople says that, according to the latest advices received by the admir alty, the Ottomaa fleet Is making for the Dardanelles with two Italian cruis ers following on the port quarter. Tha fleet Is expected to arrive at tha Dar danelles tomorrow morning. The Turkish government, says tha dispatch, has entire confidence In Its aMi:tv to protect Italian subjects here and at the principal ports from reprl eals on the part of the populace. But tde po.ltlon of the Italian workman employed on the Taurus sections of tha agdud railway la regarded as less sa c re. tloti which tha Italian Charge handed to tne forte: The Italian Embassy, carrying out the orders of the Kins;, has the honor to notify you that the delay accorded by the royal government to tha Porte with a view to the realization of cer tain necessary measures, has expired without a satisfactory reply reaching the Italian government. The lack of tbls replv only confirms the bad will, or want of power, of which the Turkish government and authorities have given such frequent proof, especially with re gard to the rights and Interests of Italians in Tripoli and Cyrenica. The royal government consequently has obliged Itself to safeguard its rights and interests, as well as Its honor and dignity by all means at Ita disposal. Events which follow can only be regarded as the necessary con sequence of conduct called for by the Turkish authorities. The relations of peace and friend ship being, therefore. Interrupted be tween the two countries. Italy considers hrse'.f from this moment in a state of war with Turkey. I have, therefore, the honor to make knomn to Tour Highness that passports will be placed at the disposal of the Charge d'Af f sires at Rome, and I beg Tour High ness to hand passports to the repre sentative of the royal government. "Ottoman subjects may continue to reside In Italy without fear of attack upon their persons, property or affairs." PETER HAWS PARDONED SLAYER OF WILLIAM E. AXXIS WILL BE LIBERATED.

Tr'a was tantamount to a decla ration of war. and as a state of war would give Italv greater freedom of action In Turkish water, there Is much apprehension regarding the Turkish war vessels at, present steam ing toward tha Dardanelles, lest they are captured bv the Italian squadron, which la believed to be watching the movements of Turkish ships. Tha Brit ish Embassy Is concerned for the Brit ish officers with tha Turkish squad ron and requesting Its government for their recall. It la thought a request will b mad to go to Germany to undertake the protection of the Italian escutcheons. The national emblems hava been re moved from th Embassy, the Con sulate, the postofflce and tha school, with a view of presenting untoward In-cl.1nts- The newspapers say that the Italian battleships have appeared off Smyrna and Salonika. following U th teat of tha deciara- Tnrnty-Round Eight Is Fast Though Burns I Declared III. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. JO. Frankla Burns, of Oakland, and Matty Baldwin, of Houston, fought 20 rounds to a draw her tonight. Before the fight Referee Toby Irwin announced that Burns was III and that all beta would be declared off. At thla stage policemen at the ringside said that the fight would not be permitted and there waa a consulta tion. Into which three physicians were called. They pronounced Burns fit to make the fight and tha police objection was withdrawn. The fight was fast and Baldwin waa considerably battered. The decision was not popular, the majority of the spectators expressing the opinion that the fight should have gone to Burns. This Is the second fight tha men hava had. the first being a six-round no decision affair In Newark, X. J., a year ago last June. F.aeh boy asserts that he had th best of that go. LIGHT'S RAYS CAUSE SCARE ar That Burglars Tenant House Keep nKUor Outside. When Dr. David Bretter and wifa re turned from downtown last night and found the lights In the hall of their home at 71 Broadway burning, they suspected burglars. For five minutes they stood out In the fog and cold of the street watching th house, then they went to th residence of a neigh bor and telephoned for the police. A motorcycle policeman and the ata tlon automobile full of offlcera re sponded. They entered the houae, and found the light burning. But there was no burglar and the house-furnishings were undisturbed. Then Dr. Breuer remembered that they might have left the light on when they left the house for downtown. O'BRIEN'S JOB UNCHANGED Vnion Paoiric Officials Issue State nirnt on Appointments. NEW YORK. Sept 10. Regarding J. p OBrlen's future the Union Pacific officials say: First, that not being mentioned for change In the circular. Mr. O'Brien's po sition is unchanged aa vice-president and general manager of tha Oregon Washington Railway ft Navigation Company. Second, that all Southern Pacific lines will fall under th authority of Mr. Pprjule. th r.ew president of th Southern Faciflc. POSITION IS HELD SOUND Washington Kinds "o Warrant In International Law for Objecting, So Long as American Interests Are Not Jeopardized. WASHINGTON". Sept. 30. The de claration of war by Italy upon Turkey, coming as It did with virtually no no tice, created a sensation in official Washington. The situation is regard ed aa a natural sequence of the Franco-German-Moroccan negotiations. Indications are that America will keep clear of the present struggle, if posslble. The naval representatives of Amer ica iu African waters during the pres ent trouble will be limited to the scout cruiser Chester and the little gunboat Scorpion. The Cheeter passed through the Straits of Gibraltar today, bound for Malta, where she should arrive Moniiy night. Officials versed in the history of re cent wars recall that Italy In striking first Is enly following the example of Japan in Ita war with Russia, when it secured a tremendous advantage from a naval point of view by prevent ing the consolidation of the two sec tions of the Russian fleet, which were lying in the harbors of Port Arthur and Chemulpo, Corea. Most of the small Turkish fleet Is off the Syrian coast, at the extreme eastern end of the Mediterranean, and Italy's declaration today is believed to be with the deliberate purpose of se curing warrant under international law for an attack on that lleet before it can make its escape and And refuge In the Bosphorus under the shelter of the powerful shore batteries. Such a move would leave Italy plenty of lei aure to deal with the comparatively small Turkish military force In Tripoli and to prevent any reinforcements reaching that country from Turkey by water. It is said at th State Department that there can be no objection by this Clovernraent to the course adopted by Italy in this lestance so long as there Is no undue Interference with Ameri can commerce or other Interests. LOCAL COLONY DIVIDED PORTLAND ITALIANS XOT ALL IX SYMPATHY WITH WAR. Though Two-Thirds Are Subject to Being Called to Colors,. They Do Xol Expect to Be. Altbough about two-thirds of the Italians now In Portland are subject to call to arms by their native country If they are needed In the war with Tur key, there apparently la no uneasiness. It Is the opinion of Portland Italians that the war will not be .of long dura tion and that the atandlng Army and home reserves will be sufficient to carry on all the required fighting and no call will be made for the Italians now in foreign lands. A. B. Ferrers said yesterday that It made no difference how long an Ital ian haa lived In the I'nlted States or any other country. If he haa served in the Italian Army he is subject to call In the event of war. The early train ing of young men Is compulsory. It waa not, however, likely that there would be any call on Italians in the United States unless the war waa of long duration, said Mr. Ferrera, The Italians of Portland apparently are divided In their sympathies. The trend waa against the war wltn Turkey because the masses of Italy look upon the war aa a commercial proposition and do not conaider that It ia necea aary for tha welfare of Italy. They look upon it aa a move on tha part of th "Interests" to make more money, Mr. Ferrera said. So far as Is known no Portland Italians have prepared to return to Italy to Join the Army, although there may be aome If the situation grows more grave. POINT AGAINST AGENCY Court Overrules Demurrer of Com pany That Practices Law. Judge Gatena yesterday afternoon overruled the demurrer to the second amended complaint In the case of the State of Oregon ex rel Benjamin Hay man against the International Mercan tile A Bond Agency, in which it la sought to bar the agency from the state on the ground that It is a cor poration practising law. The Judge said In his decision that there Is no doubt In his mind that the company Is guilty of champerty and maintenance, that Is guaranteeing to plantlffs to Institute and carry through suits for them without expense to the plaintiffs The agerfcy must now answer Hayman's complaint or default. The trouble between the agency and tha attorney had its inception when the agency started suit against Hay man to obtain Judgment for 12500 which the attorney earned as assignee of the Standard cafeteria, the allega tion being that Hayman was In the employ of the company at 175 a month and should turn over his earnings to the agency. In answer to thla the at torney asserts that he was under contract to take care of the agency's legal business for 175 a month but that he waa accepting this amount in lieu of fees and that any business he engaged In on the outside was strictly his own and allowed by hia contract. The second move in the controversy was Hayman's suit In the name of the state to oust the corporation from Ore gon, alleging that it is a collection sgency engaging In the practice of the legal profession. There is still a third suit in the controversy In which Hayman Is asking for 30.0"o for dam ages to his reputation. He declares that S. L. Bright, manager of the agency, called him a thief and is bend ing his efforts toward discrediting him in the eyes of the. public Judge Gatena' decision onlhe de murrer points to the company as guilty of the usurpation alleged by Hayman. which practically decided the case, al though the agency may elect to answer and go to trial on the oase's merits.
