By a late scs6ion Saturday in circuit court, testimony in the Anderson Thomas murder case was completed and today attorneys were given three hours to argue. The case is expected to reach the jury at 4 o'clock. Thomas did not deny that he shot Louis-Rader following the argument between Mat Griffen and Rader at the poker game on Silver Creek in Liberty, but said the act was in defense of his brother's life. He declared young Rader was slashing at Griffen with a knife and that.Johp Rader, the father, arose from the ground where he had been asleep, to atsist his son. Prosecuting Attorney Edwards of Connersville, made the opening argument, ridiculing the defense and rehearsing the scene at the poker game after the argument started. Attorneys Pigman of Liberty, and Johnson of this city divided the time for Thomas. Prosecuting Attorney Reller gave the concluding arguments. WIND DRIVES FISH TO GERMAN SHORE

AUSTRIAN BULER APPEAL TO LOYALTY OF SOLDIERS

VIENNA, Via Berlin, May 24. Full responsibility for the war between Austria and Italy is placed upon the Rome government In an imperial manifesto issued by Emperor Francis "Jo"seph today. "The Italian declaration of war is a breach of faith," declared the emperor. The manifesto appeals to the people of Austria-Hungary to support the national honor. Emperor Francis Joseph also issued a proclamation addressed to the army saying : "Soldiers of the empire: The King of Italy has declared war against me. An act of perfidy, the like of which has never been known in history, has been committed by the king of Italy against both of his allies. After an alliance of thirty years Italy has abandoned us to our dangers. Soldiers, your duty for your emperor and your fatherland lies plainly before you. - '-'We did not menace Italy; did not curtail her auahority; did not attack

her' honor or Integrity. We always responded royally to the duties of our alliance and afforded our protection when she took the field. We have done more. When Italy direeted covetous glances across our frontier, we, in order to maintain peace and our alliance relation, were resolved on great and painful sacrifices which particularly grieved our paternal heart. But the eovetousness of Italy which believed the moment should be used was not to be appeased, so fate must be accommodated. My armies h&ve victoriously withstood mighty armies in the north in ten months of this gigantio conflict in most royal comradeship of arms with our illustrious ally. A new and treacherous enemy in the south is to you no new enemy. "I salute my battle tried troops who are inured to victory. I rely on them and their leaders. I rely on my people for those whose unexemplified spirit of sacrifice my most paternal thanks are due. I pray the Almighty to bless our colors and take under his gracious protection our just cause."

ITALIANS START STRIFE AND ONE IS WOUNDED

murrer filed by the Light, Heat & Power company against the city's suit to permanently restrain the company from erecting plant additions and installing additional equipment pending the settlement of the city's condemnation proceedings. Bond Accepts Opinion. City Attorney Bond is included am6ng those who accept this interpretation of Judge Comstock's ruling on the injunction suit. He expressed satisfaction with the decision saying that it prevented the company from installing equipment which was actually not useful in providing efficient service to its patrons, for the purpose of increasing the valuation of the property, possibly to a figure which would be prohibitory to the city. Wilfred Jessup. attorney for the Light, Heat & Power company, declared today that he interprets Judge t'omstock's decision to mean that the city has actually purchased the electric plant of the company and that it only remains for the state eommissioa to establish a purchase price. He also declared that under the ruling the city was liable for any damages the company may have sustained by loss of business during the time the injunction proceedings were in litigation, but, he added, the company was not contemplating demanding damages of the city. "Do you also interpret Judge Com

stock's ruling to mean that, the city :annot withdraw its condemnation proceedings now without the consent Df the Light, Heat & Power company?'' Attorney Jessup was asked. Option Binds Richmond. He replied that Judge Comstock did not touch upon this question, directly or indirectly, in his decision but said that it was a generally accepted fact that when one party to a transaction agreed to sell and the other party agreed to purchase a deal had been consummated ; that the city could not uow withdraw its condemnation proceedings pending the establishment of a purchase valuation, which, if unsatisfactory to the city, could be appealed by it to the courts. President Bavis of the board of public works in expressing his opinion of Judge Comstock's ruling declared it was a victory for both the city and the company. "It is a victory for the city because the city is- not required to pay for whatever equipment the company may install irf its plant' after April 19, the date when condemnation proceedings were begun, up to the time the transfer of prbperty actually takes place," he declared 'it is a vict&ry for the company because the city will have to pay the costs of the injunction proceedings." Bavis Claims Victory. Mr. Bavis' version of the court, derision is quite different from the interpretation placed upon it by City Attorney Bond. It was learned today that since last March no fire insurance has been carried upon the municipal electric plant by tbe city althought the bonded indebtedness of tbat institution is $130.nOo. Up to two months ago $100,000 fire insurance was carried upon the plant. All policies lapsed in March. Mayor Robbins today advised the board to take out $20,000 insurance on the plant, dividing the policies among twenty local insurance firms. Apparently nettled by questions as to why no insurance was now being carried on the plant and why he had asked a reduction of $80,000 in insurance, the mayor finally remarked that the board had better "drop the wnol$ thing." Then he left the room. "It is absolutely impossible for the city plant to sustain a total loss by fire and in my opinion $20,000 insurance is amply sufficient," Superintendent Kleinknecht said. Several weeks ago. before the expiration of the policies taken out a year ago, Kleinknecht advised against taking out any insurance at all this year. President Bavis of the boan favors ipsuriDj tfce plant fpr at least eighty percent of its destructable" valuation, which would he approximately $90,000. By doing this, be says, a forty to forty-five, percent reduction in rates could be obtained. There will be another meeting of the public service committee of the Commercial club this evening for the purpose of discussing the election service situation-

On the eve of Italy's declaration of war against Austria, a discussion of the impending hostilities and other more personal matters among certain members of the . local Italian colony in the restaurant of John Cafazzo, 538 North Thirteenth street, led to civil strife in which gun-play featured. Today Tony Suzola is a patient in Roiri Memorial, hosnital. suffering

from a very serious revolver wound

above his left lung, and Angeio kobuccio is being held in the city jail for having shot his fellow countryman. He says he shot in self-defense, an assertion borne out by statements of witnesses and the admission of Su20la that he shot at Rubuccio twice before the latter opened fire on him. Robuccio sustained a slight flesh wound in the right arm as a result of the second shot fired by Suzola, glancing off a stairway. Taken to Hospital. An hour after the shooting, about 1 o'clock Sunday morning, Suzola staggered into the lobby of the Arlington hotel. His coat was torn and his clothins covered with blood which

oozed from the wound in his chest below the neck. At the time the man ! was unable to speak. The night clerk j summoned an officer and the wound- j ed man was removed to the hospital j as rapidly as possible. Today it wasj said that he had" a fair cbjjce to re-j cover. i Robuccio was located about twoj hours later and is now being held on ; a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. In the event of Suzola's death he;

will be bound over to the grand jury on a charge of manslaughter. In the event Suzola recovers it is quite probable Robuccio will be arranged in city court on the misdemeanor he is now charged with. Prosecutor Reller says that after Suzola and Robuccio had argued in

the Cafazzo restaurant for some time

they became quite angry. Suzola left the place and returned later with a revolver opening fire on Robuccio as he entered the doorway of the restaurant. After the second shot Robuccio reached into the pocl et of his coat, hanging over a chair, pulled out his revolver and wounded Suzola with the first shot. Later Sunday morning the Italian colony became agitated over ? clash between two other well known members, fJominick Sulprizio and "Frenchy" Jacona. Sulprizio, who operates a bakery, called upon Jacona to collect a bread bill. Jacona told him he would pay it later. Sulprizio demanded a talking machine as security which Jacona refused. The former then hurled a large boulder through the doorway, hitting Jacona on the leg and breaking a leg off the stove. Jacona seized his shotgun and an exciting chase through north end streets ensued, Sulprizio escaping before the shotgun could be brought into play on his person. The case will be heard in ity court tomorrow. Saturday flight Andy Mak. an Hungarian, pulled a revolver .upon a . fellow countryman, Charles Zrarka, but the weapon was taken away from him before any trouble ensued. Mak drew a tine Of $50 and costs.

ITALIANS STAY HERE SPURNING WARFARE There is no evidence in Richmond of preparations of Italians to leave for the mother country. Henry Deuker, superintendent of finance at tbe postoffice, said today no Italians have withdrawn money from the postal savings department but a number had made big deposits. Foremen of Italian labor gangs are having no trouble securing men of native Italy .to work for them- Only a small per cent of the Italians in this city have not taken out first citizens papers and they will not be required to respond to a call. There have been no patriotic celebrations among the Italian citizens.

PLAN WATER PLANT FOR COUNTY FARM

The purchase of a water system for the county infirmary was discussed Saturday by the county commissioners but no action taken. The commissioners expect to buy after investigating various gravity pressure water supply Systems. Postmaster Beck, chairman of the county board of charities which recommended the installation of a water system at the poor farm, was present with material showing the need of a system there. Probably an electric or gasoline motor pump and a tank high enough to give strong pressure to the flow will be ordered. The commissioners will then have plumbers fit the interior of the houses with water works.
