ters Excitement Runs
High As Details of Plot
Against Mussolini Published
ROME, Nov. 6. (A. P.) That
the plot to assassinate Premier
Mussolini was only a detail of a
general conspiracy designed not
only to suppress the fascist chief
and the present government, but
to overthrow the Savoy dynasty
and declare an Italian republic is
the statement made in a detailed
report published today by the
Epoca. The newspaper, which is
usually well informed In matters
of the. highest political import
ance, does not reveal the source
of its information.
ROME, Nov. G. (A. P.) Trtiops
with bristling bayonets today were
cordoning headquarters of the social
ist party and that of the Free Masons
In the Justinian palace. It Is asserted
a plot to assassinate Premier Musso
lini as he Btood on the balcony of the
Chigi palace during the celebration of
the seventh anniversary of Italy's vic
tory over Austria was fomented in
the Justinian palace.
Soldiers were ' also guarding other
Kree ' Mason and socialist gathering
places, the offices of newspapers op
posed to the fascist government and
various centers which possibly might
be nttackeH by fascist!, who are en
raged over the plan to shoot the pre
mier from a wludow as he reviewed
the passing troops., ,
Last evening crowds gathered in
the public squares cheered Mussolini,
burned , opposition newspapers' .iunl
sang fascist party hymns. ,
The premier appeared oh his bal
cony and addressed the people below,
lie Impressed upon them the neces
sity for the maintenance of order and
demanded that tuey obey. He ex
acted a pledge that there should he
no disorder or violence.
Tito Francesco Zunllioni, former
unitarian socialist deputy, who It is
asserted, was to have fired the shot
:o kill Mussolini; Senor Quaglia. edi
tor of II Popolo, and General Lutet
Cappelo, were held in prison today.
Excitement Runs High.
Excitement was still at a high pitch
today as additional details of the
widespread ramifications of the assas
sination plot came to light. Order,
however, reigned throughout the en
tire country.
Messaggero, semi-official news
paper, prints a detailed report de
signed to prove that the plot was
hatched in France by anil fnscisti,
assisted by rrlends of other than
Italian nationality.
Indeed, says the Messaggero. sub
scriptions were raised and supported
by the left French newspapers for
what was called a "liberty loan." the
object being to rid IWly of Mussolini
and fasclsmo.
. The paper declares the Italian gov
ernment protested to France against
permitting such journalistic support
of what Italy looked upon as a sub
' verslve contract.
Plot In Paris.
According to the Messaggnro's ac
count there existed first, an organi
zation of Information bureaus in Paris
for the dissemination of anti-Italian
reports throughout Frnnce and else
where: second, an organization of
military bands ready to attempt a
coup ut an opportune moment : and
third, an organization for gathering
funds with which to carry out the
plan against the fascist regime. (Sen
einl Cupello, the paper alleges, was
the connecting link between the or
ganisations In Ports ond the circles
opposing the government In Italy.
The rifle with which Zntilhnni was
armed when arrested wns an Austrian
military weapon similar to those
which picked riflemen used for sharu
shoollng during the world war. It
wns equipped with telescopic sights.

SALEM. Ore.. .Nov. , G.-7-Certain
truck drivers in Oregon, claiming to
represent the Auto-Freight Transpor
tation association, with George W.
Bishop as president and Oscar W.'
Horn as secretary, have sued the wtate
highway commission, challenging Us
right to limit the .weight of loads
moved over the state highways.
The legislature fied the maximum
weight of loads. Including truck and
load, permitted uppn the public high
ways at 22.000 pounds, and further
provided whenever in the judgment
of the highway commission with re
spect to state highways, or the coun
ty courts with respect to county high
ways. It is necessary in order to pro
tect the highways from undue dam
age the highway commission or the
county court, as the cose might he,
might further reduce the load limit. 1
Recently the highway commission
reduced the load limit permitted ' upon 1
that portion of the Columbia river!
highway lying between the east boun
dary of Multnomah county and the
west city .limits of Hood River. j
Suit was then brought in federal 1

Case Set for, Nov. 8
The case has been set for hearing
before two federal judges and one
United States circuit Judge for No
vember 26.
The plaintiffs claim that if they are
unsuccessful In the federal court the
matter will be taken to the United
States court for final determination.
The plaintiffs claim that when the
federal government enacted the fed
eral aid act by which the federal gov
ernment aids the states, under certain
conditions. In the construction of
roads, and the state by legislation
agreed to co-operate with the federal
government, that thereby a contract
was entered into between the state
and the government and thut when
the state enacted legislation regulat
ing motor vehicles and providing for
a license and a license fee that a con
tract was effected between the holder
of such license nnd the state and that
now the state Is under obligation to
alntain Its public highways for the
benefit of traffic and that the legis
lature and the highway commission
are now without authority to change
its legislation or limit the weight of
loads permitted upon Its high ways. ...
Confiscation Claimed .
The plaintlfrs claim that in view of
the legislation between the federal
government and the state, they pur
chased their equipment and that un
less they are permitted to use the
equipment to the limit of its capacity
they will be damaged In their busi
ness, and that their property will be
confiscated without due process of
law.
The highway commission claims
however, that many of the truck op
erators including some of the plain
tiffs, entered business and acquired
their equipment since the enactment
of the present legislation which plain
tlfrs .now challenge. .
Regardless of the damn go which
may he done to the highways hy truck
or other traffic, the plulntiffs contend
that the state Is under obligation to
hulld a highway adequate for the
needs of present and future traffic
and to maintain those highways suit
able for such traffic as the plaintiffs
nnd others may desire to move over
the highways.
Claim No Com met Involved
On the other hand the highway
commission takes the position that no
cuntract exists between the federal
government and the state or the state
and the plaintiffs, hy which the state
is under, any obligation to maintain
the highways for the plaintiffs and to
restore the damage which plaintiffs
activities may cause. --
it Is the contention of the commis
sion that the publlo highways are for
the use of the general public and are
not to he constructed and maintained
for the special use and convenience 1
of anv nnecial clasit.
The records disclose, that the por-
tlon of the Columbia river highway In
controversy cost for original construc
tion, not including rtftht of way, the
approximate sum of 91,230,000, and
that the state has expended for main
tenancy and betterments on It since
Its completion in 1920, the sum of
$209, 159, or $9460 per mile.
