CROWDS COURTROOM
AT LIQUOR HEARING
Echo Of Turbulent Times
When Gov. West Closed
Saloons With Militia

Baker, Or, April lO.--An echo Of
the turbulent times that attended the
placing of Copperfield under martial
law by former Governor West, be-
cause, he alleged, gambling was unre.
stricted, immortality rampant and the
sale of liquor to minors unrestrained,
was heard here today when the damage
suit filed by William Wiegand, Il.
Steward and Antoine Warner, against
West, Colonel B: X. Lawson, Of the
O. N. G. and others was begun today.
The suit grew out of the confisca-
tion of the liquor stocks of the three
plaintiffs, who formerly conducted
saloons in the little frontier town,
They alleged that the seizure was
without due process of law.
Up to noon fourteen veniremen had
been examined, and three tentatively
accepted.
The questions involved are whether
the governor Of state is personally
liable for his official acts, and whether
militiamen are liable when they obey
their commander in chief.
Hundreds Of persons are here attend
ing the trial, including nearly the en-
tire population of Copperfield.

Austria Must Continue
War With German Ally

laud. France and Belgium.
Italy, itself, cannot compel Austria
to sue for a separate peace until tne
Italian government is trying to secure
Trieste aud the Austrian coast, making
Austria practically an inland state The
indications are, however, that King
Emmanuel Is exercising influences and
insisting that the Italians be- content
with Trentino. There are reasons to
believe that Emperor Franz Josef has
agreed to eede Trentino to Italy. II
this is true, ltalys probable accept
anee would remove the necessity Of
Austria making peace with the allies
in order to protect her seaboard from
Italian designs Even If negotiations
with Rome are unfayorable at the pres
ent moment Austria would not be serv'
ing Germany's interests by discussing
peace.
Tnere is always hope that Austria
may make peace with her other enemies
to as good purpose after Italy declares
war as before. IL must not be forgot.

niauic aud that the dominating class Of
Austria is also Germanie. Neither is
likely to do anything voluntarily that
would bring disaster to Germanic in
terests. Such action would be suicidal.
