BUY W. 8. a. : MRS MALISSA LOCK E, MOTHER OF OREGON 81 YEARS OLD, Suitcases and trunks filled with beer and liquor are plied high In the United States district court today, where Judge Robert G. Bean is hearing the case against Alex Davidson and Lambert Whitehurst of San Francisco and George Smith of Salem, charged with violation of the prohibition laws. Davidson is proprietor of the Blue Ribbon Beer com pany of San Francisco. Whitehurst Is alleged to be a salesman employed by him. and Smith. Is a stage driver or Salem, accused of being a member of the bootleggers' ring. Twenty-one men were Indicted by the federal grand jury. Most of them pleaded guilty. A few were not appre hended, but the three now in court elect ed to stand trial and are charged with violation of the Reed amendment, pro hibiting shipment of liquor into prohibl tion territory. The government's case, which Is being handled by Assistant United States At torney Bamett H. Goldstein, Is strength ened by the confessions of many of the defendants who entered pleas of guilty. Among these are H. R. Edmunds, known as "Tillamook Kid," and Joe Sagalas of San Francisco. Edmunds went on the stand this afternoon and began a graphic account of the workings of what government officials claim was one of the largest bootlegging rings on the Coast. In his statement lo the jury this morn Ing Attorney Goldstein charged that not only did Davidson know that beer sold by him was being shipped to Ore gon, but that it was with his connivance that his place of business In San Fran cisco was used as a depot for tCe pack ing of the bottles preparatory to ship ment north. The jury In the case was secured last week, and it probably will take two or three days to examine the witnesses and submit the various exhibits that are of fered in evidence. Pennies Saved by W. S.

That he was refused a position as motorman on the cars of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company "be cause the union of which platform men are members would not permit the com pany to hire him on account of his nationality," is the claim made by Jim Calabrese, an Italian, of 1098 Glenn av enue north. Calabrese says he was told the union would r.ot permit Italians, Spaniards, Japanese or Chinamen to be employed as platform men. ' Calabrese has wired an appeal to President Wilson, declaring he has a score of relatives fighting in the allied armies, and one wps killed when the Tuscanla was sunk and that this should wipe out any prejudice against nation ality. Officials of the company and of the union deny the charge. According to President Franklin T. Griffith and City Transportation Superintendent Fred Cooper, the policy of the company is to hire men who are competent, regardless of nationality. That question, they say, has not come up with the union. Mr. Griffith promised' an investigation of the Calabrese case. President R. Walker of the local union of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Em ployes, says the matter of nationality never has been considered. If a man is competent, he is taken into the un ion and assisted in getting work. He could not recall the case of Calabrese, but thought It might be that of a miner who had worked on an engine under ground, and thought himself qualified but who was shown by investigation not to be fit to run a car. An offer was made to get him work in the shops or on the tracks but this. Walker says, was refused. "I went to room 302 In the company's office building and asked for a job," says Calabrese. "With me wafc Frank Tenerelli. who works for the Inman Poulsen Lumber Co. I was told I could not get work because I was an Italian and that the union wouldn't let the company hire Italians, Spaniards. Jap anese or Chinese for motormen. I asked him three times if that was the reason and he said it was. I asked him who he was, and he replied that I didn't need to know, that he was superintend ent or assistant superintendent of the company. I am ' not sure which he said, but I can point out the man. "I want to work as motorman and I can do the work. I have 20 or more relatives in the allied armies. I lost a cousin when the Tuscania went down. By J. W. T. Masoa. United Pre Wr Expert. New York, June 24. tf. P.) Italy has wrested the offensive from the Austro Hungarians. How far the initiative can be pressed depends on the condition of the heavily flooded Plave river. The Austro-Hungarian troops on the western bank of the river were cut off from their bases of supply by 'the Im possibility of transporting materials across the torrential stream. Italy may encounter similar difficulties in follow ing up the present drive against the In vaders. If the Plave suddenly returns to its normal sluggishness, the retreat of the Hapsburg armies may then be turned Into a disastrous rout that might force the Austro-Hungarians to abandon all the Italian territory they now hold. Whether the present offensive of the Italians reaches this magnitude or not, the retreat of the Austro-Hungarlana from their newly won positions must certainly contribute to1 the spirit of revplt at home. The adoption of Von Hinden burg's strategy of slaughter by Austro Hungarian leaders will now profoundly react against German Influences In the dual monarchy. The casualties suffered by the Haps burg forces have been heavy In their adventurous Imitation of Hindenburg's ruthlessness. There can be no adequate explanation to the war-weary mobs in Austria-Hungary crying for food and peace. Austria-Hungary has not the militar istic spirit of her arrogant northern neighbor. There la good reason to believe the population of the dual monarchy did not approve of the drive against Italy from the start. Otherwise there would have been a less demonstrative attitude of protest against the food shortage while the drive was under way. BUY W. 8. a. Customs Collector Says 'Come On' to W.S. S.
