Oponing phases of the case Indicate
that the defense will try to establish
an alibi for Albert, and will attack the
testimony of the state's principal wit
nesses, Victor Goldstein and Philip
Davis.
In his opening statement Attorney
Daniel J. Malarkey, representing "Al
bert, was particularly, -bitter in at
tacking Philip Davis, whom .he said
would be the state's principal witness,
and whose confession was the means
of involving the others when the' in
dictments were returned.
Davis record, said the attorney, dat
d back to his residence in Russia, and
Involved theft, arson and blackmail.
Of Victor Goldstein, Malarkey as
serted that he had been a clerk for one
of the defendants, and in revenge for a
fancied wrong had become "a sys
tematic blackmailer."
The session this morning was
marked with frequent altercations be
'tween Assistant District Attorney Ma
gulre and Mr. Malarkey, and In which
Judge Morrow participated.
The jury was taken to the scene of
the specific fire at 207 First street,
for which Albert was indicted, to view
the premises, following the opening

which was on stock. The balance was
on fixtures. Of the amount on stock,
$6190.94 insurance wan paid, and the
complete $500 for fixtures was paid,
the witness said.

Salem, Or., Oct. J. The State Rail
road commission today .refused to
grant to the Salem Water company an
extension of the time when new and
lower water ; Yates would become ef
fective here, i from Octeber 1 to Nov
ember 1. This means lower rates for
the capital, cfty, beginning today.
The company asked for the, exten
sion on the .ground that the classifica
tion necessary aa a result of the new
basis of computing rates required so
much work that it would be impossible
to get the bills ready.
The railroad commission held that in
cases wherehe bills were not ready
the company could charge the , old
rate, and refund the- overcharge Nov
ember 1.
The commission held that the con
cession to the company should not act
as an extension of the time in which
the company; would have to take an
appeal from the order fixing new
rates.
The new rates decrease the residence

AUSTRIA WOULD PAY
FOR DAMAGE DONE TO
ITALIAN FISHERMEN
4 psBaaMBaBBBes0BeBBMBSBeaMa
Offers to Let Italy Fix; th
Amount of Indemnity for
Mines in Adriatic.
WAR AGITATION GROWING
Strength of Anti-War party Dimin
ishes as Faeliar Against Austria
Becomes Stronger.
(United Pretr Leased Wlre.
Rome, Oct. 1. A "reported Austrian
offer to indemnify the families of
Italian fishermen whose boats have
been blown i up in the Adriatic waa
the latest development today in the
controversy between Italy and Aus
tria concerning the latter's mine lay
ing activities.
"It was stated that the Vienna government-
was willing to allow Italy
to fix the amount of the Indemnity
but it was not known whether or
not it bad also acceded to the Italian
demand that no more mines be laid.
Reports of the sinking by one of
them of an Italian torpedo boat were
still -s&ftconf irmed.
War Agitation Increasing.
Anti-Austrian agitation throughout
Italy was increasing, its leaders urg
ing war immediately.
As soon as it became generally
known that the Italian ambassador
at Vienna had been instructed to de
mand a cessation of Austrian mine
laying in the Adriatic the public
jumped to the conclusion that war be
tween Italy and Austria-Hungary was
at last assured.
There was no question as to the
popularity of the move.
Perhaps something of a false im
pression was given at the outbreak
of the European struggle of the
strength of the anti-war sentiment
in Italy.
It has, as a matter of fact, con
siderable strength; this cannot be de
nied. The burden of the War in
Tripoli is still fresh in the people's
minds. Indeed, it is still felt, for
the Italians are paying for it now.
Tentonio Side Unpopular. .
What was more to the point, how
ever, was that practically not an
Italian wanted to fight on the Teu
tonic side. Austria is Italy's , former
oppressor and waa its oppressor not
so very long ago. It is looked on
as the nation's hereditary enemy and

have dainty draw-strings of pink or
an alliance binding the) two countries
together was always an unnatural
and purely, political one.
There was : no particular ; feeling
against Germany, but - Germany ani
Austria - Hungary - could not ba di
vorced. And even if it had been Germany
alone. it la likely that the Italians
would have : fell . that the Germans'
fight waa i- not - their fight and that
neutrality was the thing for them..
Against this Italy Is on very friend
ly terms with France and Great Brit
ain, on terms of more than friend
ship of intimacy -with Russia and
Servia, and t to Montenegro it con
siders Itself actually related, for the
queen of Italy is a. Montenegrin
princess.
Chance for Oaln Been.
Beside all these considerations there
was the political fact that the Italians
stood to win nothing tangible apd
perhaps to lose a great deal by fight
ing with the Teutonic allies, whereas
they had an excellent chance of ac
quiring for themselves Austria's
Adriatic provinces by fighting on the
other side.
These provinces they have wanted
for a long time. They have wanted
them, for one thing, for sensational
reasons. Furthermore, they are in
trinsically immensely well worth hav
ing. They are not like Tripoli, a
vast desert, inhabited by an alien and
hostile race! They are agriculturally
rich, have many fine cities and im
portant ports and are peopled . by
Italians, who are anxious to exchange
Austrian for Italian rule.
Instead of being a load to carry,
like , Tripoli, they will be a source of
added strength.
When the European struggle began
it was the natural conclusion, in view
of Italy's treaty of alliance with Ger
many and Austria-Hungary that if
the Rome government declared hos
tilities at all it would declare them.
with Germany and Austria-Hungary
against Great Britain, France, Rus
sia, Servia and Montenegro.
Accordingly, when the anti-militarists
warned the government that
it might remain neutral or a general
strike would be 'declared thay had
public sentiment overwhelmingly on
their side.
Sid Hot Want to Aid Austria.
It was on their side, however, be
cause the public took it . that the
government was being warned not to
make the people fight on the side
they opposed and against their own
friends and Interests. They wanted
neutrality because they did not want,
to'" fight for Germany and Austria
Hungary; not because they did not
want to fight for themselves and
with the allies.
The proposition to follow the latter
course is a different thing. If the
anti-militarists oppose a declaration
of war against Austria they are sure
to find they have lost a great part,
at least, of their former support.
There is anti-war sentiment, it is
true, and it undoubtedly will mani
fest itself, perhaps in overt acts,
but it is doubtful if It will be of
noticeable proportions a matters now
stand.

Two Companies but
Nearly Same Names
v Salem, Or' Oct. 1- An odd compli
cation was uncovered today when .the
American Scrip company of Ixs An
geles applied to Corporation Commis
sioner Watson for a permit to So
business and discovered Its name had
already been nearly wholly used by
the American Travel Scrip, incorporat
ed, of Portland, Charles j. Dean,
president, headquarters in the North
western Bank building. According o
the provisions of the law. Watson
will grant a permit to the Portland
company if its preliminary statement
is satisfactory, and the Califorina com
pany will have to change its name
in order to be admitted. It is possible
there may be a legal fight over it.
The Los Angeles company has offices
in the Plttock building.
That any conflict between the two
companies will probably lead to a
legal battle for the right to do business
under the name American Script com
pany is the opinion of S. R. Kent, local
manager of the American Script com
pany. "We have not applied kor articles
of -incorporation in Oregon." said Mr.
Kent this noon, "for we are a Califor
nia corporation. We have merely asked
for permission to do business. My
company has been operating on the
Pacifio coast and the Rocky mountain
states ""for over a year. We have 40
branches and we are the original com
pany in this line of business in the
United States.
"The American Travel Script com
pany is an imitator that has taken

ness we have worked up.
The slogan of my company is, "A

The American Travel Script company
has one, "A mile in travel for every

"I waa unaware of any difficulty at
Salem until this noon and I shall im
mediately wire my home office at Los
Angeles. If there is any chance of our
not being permitted to do business
under the name we have used for a
year we shall certainly fight for our
rights." '
