AGAINST ITALIANS Serious Trouble for Allies .If Herr Schwimmer's Plot ting in Africa Is Successful ITALY SENDS TROOPS Xtall&n SubUo X Hot Olvra. Full la formation tot Fear of Effect on Relation With Austria. Rome, Nov. 29. (By mall via New York.) AuHlrla is trying to drag Abynlnla into the world war. -t may bo that Germany Is trying, too, but the Italian government Is cer tain concerning Austria. It has re ceived detailed reports from absolutely reliable ources of the plotting of Herr 8chwimm-r, tho Aifbtrian consul at AJlls Aba. This information was not given out officially. In --view of tho fact that the government has not made It pub lic, it probably would be refused trans mission over the Italian telegraph wires. It was obtained, however, from unquestionable authorities, and for that matter it la not much of a secret in well posted circles. Whether or not Herr Kchwimmer has also Intrigued against Italy Is not cer tain. . -- v ' Mors Troops An Sent. Even If It was unintentional on his part, he has nevertheless succeeded, as a result of his mischief making for the allies' benefit, 1n stirring up con siderable hostile Abyssinian sentiment against the Italians. Signs of this feeling became so evl : dent recently that the Rome govern ment deemed it necessary to strength- . l . 1 1 - r .atuMliilimdiit In itn Kit US luiitini J ciwiiMifiiivn. ... ' nossession of Kritrea, which lies be tween the Red sua and the Abyssinian frontier. It was announced when the troops left Italy that they were destined for the Trlpolttan Kgypt frontier and the explanation was given that fears wero entertained ot an overflow of the Turk ish campaign In Egypt Into Tripoli. This occasioned considerable sur prise at the time, etneo the Turks were . . . . .......... firt-nt'u Matnrn frnn. tier, then, and aome hundreds of miles lay between them and Italian terrl ' tory. Nor was It a fact that the govern ment Intended to use Its reinforce ments in Tripoli. Instead It was for Eritrea that they were bound. May Have Been Accident. The presumption Is that it was by accident that Herr Schwlmmer stirred the Abyssinlans to a state of un friendliness so far as Italy Is con cerned. It Is recognized that both Germany and Austria resent the Ital ians' failure to help them against the allies, but they are so anxious to pre vent them, now from Joining the r.l jles themselves that it is unlikely they would purposely risk angering, them by their- representatives' activi ties at Addis Abea. ; ' The possibilities are also t,liat the Italian government's reasons for re pressing news of the situation in Erit rea waa its unwillingness to let the t public knpw of the harm done by Herr ' bchwimmer. As is well known, there ' Is already a strong sentiment through out Italy In favor of war with Aus tria, an4 If tho fact should be pub lished that a uililary expedition to Eritrea had been rendered necessary by the Austrian diplomat's meddling, the people's anger might render it im possible for the government to avert hostilities longer. Trouble for tha Allies. Should the Teutonic agent succeed in inducing, the Abyssinlans to go to war, he will have accomplished what will prove very serious for the allies, as well as for Italy. The Egyptian Soudan, British ... . vj , ii i.ii . i mtiva, (iiiv rea, Italian Sonialiland and French Komalilan.i all border on Abyssinia and would be very difficult If not im possible to protect against extensive invasions. The Abyssinlans, too, have a hi in reputation as fighting men, as Italy Knows to its cost. The obliteration, a generation aed of a large Italian military expedition engaged in operations against King Wenellk has never been forgotten hero. It has not been forgotten, either, in Abyssinia, There has been a smolder of resentment there against Italians ever since, and this was probably re sponsible for tho fact that, probably against his own wishes, Herr Schwim mer's attempts to provokethe negua to an invasion of the neighboring pos sessions seem to have aroused Abys sinian Sentiment to an even greater extent in favor of an attack on Italian , territory on the same coast. titled to vote at the election which Is the subject of contest- Since the act is general in its scope and authorizes any elector to contest the right of any person to any office for which he has the right to vote, it certainly author izes this contestant to. contest the election of the contestee to the office of sheriff. If both acts are in effect, a defeated candidate for a county of fice has a choice to proceed under the old law or under the new iff an elec tion contest. A candidate for a dis trict office comprising this county would be confined to the proceedings provided by the Corrupt Practices Act. ' "It Is a familiar rule of, statutory construction that where a later stat ute clearly covers the whole subject matter of an antecedent act, and it plainly appears to have been the pur pose of the legislature to give expres sion to 4he whole law upon the sub ject, the antecedent act is repealed by necessary implication (1 Suther land Stat. Const, 2nd Ed. pp. 465-6). This, rule has found frequent expres sion in the decisions of our supreme court. What Was Electors' Intent? Did the electors' intend to repeal the former law, or was the new law In tended to be. merely cumulative? Did they intend to express in the later act the whole law on the subject 'of elec tion contests as it should thenceforth exist in this state? Several provisions of the two acts are In conflict and their provisions differ widely in sev eral particulars. The provisions of the statutes under consideration relate to the same subject, to election con tests. The new law is vastly wider In Its scope, and enlarges materially the remedy provided by the old law An Intention will not be ascribed to the lawmaking power to establish con- uicung systems upon the same sub ject, or to leave In force provisions of a law by which, the later will of the legislature may be thwarted, or overthrown. Hew Law Covers All Contests. 'The act of 1908 as construed by the supreme court appears to cover the whole subject of election contests, by candidates as well as by electors who were not candidates; it provides all the essential remedies provided by tho old act and enlarges materially the Bcope of election contests: it provides other conditions upon the exercise of this right; it fails to provide an ap peal, but there is no constitutional or vested right to an appeal. It seems to me that it was the intention of the legislature to repeal at least so much of the former act as conflicts wiyi or differs from the provisions of the later act, and that they Intended by this act to regulate by a uniform rule the entire subject of election contests. In my opinion this (remedy can only be pursued by filing a petition and bond and by issuing a citation in ac cordance with the provisions of the act of 1908." Intoxicated Drivers Need Ask No Mercy! Judge Stevenson, In Sentencing Mer chant to Jail, Issues Warning to Persons Driving Automobiles. "Any man who drinks booze and Is brought before this court Tor driving his machine recklessly while under the influence, can't expect to get off with a fine from this court." With tills statement. Municipal Judge Stevenson this morning sen tenced R. Ij. Whitcomb, a merchant and former proprietor of the Mount. Scott Fuel company to five days in Jail. Whitcomb was wrested by Motorcycle Patrolman H. L. Coulter Saturday afternoon on the Hawthorne bridge. r" A short time before Whitcomb had run his' automobile into a bakery wagon standing on Grand avenues An appeal to the circuit court was taken. Evidence in the case against Daniel R. Howell of the Kilham Stationery company, arrested for reckless driving was taken this morning." HoweU's machine struck a milk wagon at Twenty-fourth , and East Everett streets yesterday evening, and Pa trolman Palmer immediately took him into custody. Further evidence will be heard tomorrow.

Mrs. Wil liam I-Ioyd Sr. died suddenly last Thursday from paralysis at her home at Meadow Brooks farm, near Free- water, fehe was born in 1847, in Illi nois, and -had resided here for 37 yeais. Her husband, two sons. Henry Lloyd and William Lloyd Jr., and one daugh ter, Mrs. Stanfield of Odessa, survive her. The funeral was held Saturday. der the provisions of section 3428 et sequltur 1- O. L. These sections were enacted in 1854 and provide a mode for contesting tho election of county officers, but not district or state of ficers. "In 1908 an initiative act was enact ed by tho elertors which is popularly known as the 'corrupt practices act-' (1.-1909 p. 10). This act contains provi sions for election contests and pre scribes the procedure in such proceed ings. "It la contended here that the act ot 1854 was repealed by the act of 1908. and that this proceeding should have been Instituted under the later act. "In 7'azwell vs. Davis, 64 Oregon. 325, it is said that the act of 1909 is general in its scope, particularly sec tion 3529 -L O. I. and we think au thorizes any elector t the state, or any political division thereof, to con test the right of any person to "any office for, which such elector has the right to vote, including the office of ' circuit Judge." , "If this (Word vs. Ilurlburt) were a case of first Impression, I might reach .a different conclusion; but this court is bound by the decision of our court of last resort. Under this rul ing it seems clear that the act of 1908 in relation to election contests is general in Its scope and provides an adequate mode for the contest of an election to the office of sheriff by a defeated candidate against a suc cessful candidate to determine who has received a plurality of the legal votes cast at the election; that la, to determine who was legally elected to the office.
