Subscribe for The Pioneer, ENDS IN SCENE OF TURBULENCE Austrian Parliament Closed by the Premier. HANY SUSTAIN INJURIES Czech and German. Deputies Clash Be- cause of Obstructive Tactics Used by the Former and'a Fierce Scrim- mage Ensues—Closing of the Ses- sion "Followed by Another Free Fight of Opposing Factions. 3 Vienna, Feb. 6.—The present ses- sion of the Austrian parliament came to an end after a scene of turbulence extraordinary even for an assembly where violent outbreaks are compara- tively common. The trouble, which arose from the old racial feeling between the Ger- mans and_the Czechs, broke out dur- Ing the debate on a government bill, the object of which was to reconcile these differences. The radical Czech obstructionists, who have been hin- dering the debate on this measure for several days past wifh a continu- ous din from drums and tin whistles, so exasperated the Germans that the opposing deputies came to close quar- ters and a’fierce scrimmage ensued. One of the radical Czech deputies, a man named Speczek, who has been particularly violent in his obstrue- | tion, was captured and whipped until he howled for mercy. Another Czech { was bitten by a German on the cheek and sustained an ugly wound and black ‘eves and sore heads were nu- merous. The premier, Baron von Bienerth, seeing the uselessness of at- tempting to pass lcgislation, closed the session and sent the deputies home. The departure of the ministers was followed by another free fight in which the opposing factions rushed upon one another to the strains ot revolutionary songs and wild confu- sion reigned for half an hour. The sudden closing of the session and the political import of the disor- der have had an adverse effect upon the bourse. {THREE INMATES PERISH Orphan’s Home at Battle Creek, Mich., Destroyed by Fire. -Battle Creek, Mich., Feb. 6.—The Haskell Memorial home, a three and a half story brick orphanage located on the western boundary of this city, | was destroyed by fire.

Mrs. R. S. Owen, who, with her husband, was in charge of the in- stitutlon, fought her way down the main stairway while it was a mass of flames, carrying a six-weeks-old babe in her arms and two small children clinging to her skirts. ’ ALLISON IS REMEMBERED Senate Pays Honors Today to Memory of Deceased Leader. ‘Washington, Feb. 6.—The senate transacted no public business today, its time being devoted to eulogies-of the career of the late Willlam Boyd Allison, senator from Iowa, who died Aug. 4, 1908. An unusual note of feeling ran through the addresses. They had lit- tle of the perfunctory nature gener- ally marking the obituary exercises in- the senate, as Senator Allison’s {long service in the upper national house and the qualities of his charac- ter commanded the respect of his col- leagues.
