VIENNA, Austria, May 25.—The Aus- trian cabinet today feared that serious rioting, which occurred around the Italian consulate at Innsbruck in the Austrian Tyrol, would bring a recrudes- cence of official Itallan wrath against Austria. The Itallan flag, which was flying from the consulate in honor of Italy's declaration of war against Austria 13 years ago, precipitated the outbreak. During a riotous demonstration the flag was torn.down and cast into the streets. mmm and mllnM i was ? et ts and soldiers as stored, and the civic au tened to apologize for the insult. Steps were taken to bring those guilty to pun- ishment, and eight alleged ringleaders were arrested. Squad Salutes Flag. Commandatore Riccardi compelled the governor to order a squad of sol- diers from the Austrian Army to march past the consulate and salute the Italian emblem. This was done, and a strong guard was placed about the building, and officials thought that the disorders were ended. The Austrian governor posted a bul- letin at the city hall declnrlnf the at- tack was “senseless” and “futile.” This incensed Nationalist students, who had been in the van of the first demonstra- tion. They returned to the consulate and tried to reach the flag again. As they struggled toward the flag they shouted this rallying cry: “Down with our cowardly govern- ment. It is trying to kill our national ride.” o The bayonets of the soldiers held the rioters at bay. As they grew more menacing police and soldiers charged and drove them down side streets. There the lines held until after dark, when a heavy rain dispersed the mob. Protests Tyrol Rule. (A few months ago Austria made a world-wide protest against alleged un- favorable treatment of Austrians and Germans In the Itallan Tyrol. Premier Mussolini made this the occasion of a strong denunclation of Austria for at- tempting to interfere with an affair which concerned Italy alone. He threat- ened to take severe steps against Au- stria if the matter were carried farther. Austrians had this in mind when the Itallan flag suffered at Innsbruck, It was also feared that such conduct on the part of Austria could only damage the reputation of the Tyrol abroad and would arouse indignation on the part of all persons peacefully inclined. The government hoped today that the prompt apologles given at Inns- bruck, the restoration and salute of the flag and the defense of the consulate from a second attack would convince Premier Mussolinl that every possible officlal step had been taken and that individual ~extremists alone were to blame. SENATOR NORBECK ILL. Senator Peter Norbeck of South Da- kota was confined to his home today, under care of his physician, with an acute attack of indigestion. At his office it was sald he would probably be unable to return to his dutles in the Senate for four or five days, The 1llness may prevent the South Dakota Senator from taking any per- sonal part in the last phases of the McNary-Haugen farm rellef bill fight, in which he has figured prominently as a champlon of rellef for agriculturalists. “THE PENALTY” “Golden Rule” Film Produced by The Evening Star | To further trafc safety is | being shown today along | with the regular program at | The Elite Theater | 14th St, and Rhode Island Ave. N.W. | ‘Tomorrow the film will be shown at The Stanton Theater 515 C St. N.E. y Japan Institutes First Passenger Seaplane Service By the Associated Press.

PRINCIPLES CLOSELY GUARDED BY EXECUTIVE DSOX.a 100 Hopeful of Ou‘~'me, but Prefers Not to U: “>rce to Ob- tain XAction. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Coolidge stands ready to submit a plan of his own to Congress embodying what he considers sound and workable theories for the exten- sion of Federal assistance to American farmers in the event that Congress does nothing more than make gestures in the direction of farm legiclation, it was learned today on seemingly good authority. In unmistakably plain language the President said in his message of veto on the McNary-Haugen measure that he hoped Congress would enact a meas- ure along the lines recommended by him in his annual message last Decem- ber. It has been learned that since he sent the message to the Senate the President with the assistance of sev- eral of his close advisers has whipped into shape his plan and it is now re- posing in his desk awaiting the arrival ' of the &mper moment to be dispatched to the Capitol. ‘Waits On Congress.

He believes that a Govern- ment subsidy would work out in the {same way. It is his contention that the Government should help the farmer to help himself, and that the most ef- fective means of dealing with surplus | crops is to reduce the surplus acreage. His argument is that this reduction be brought about by the in- dividual, but it can be done through the farm organizations already in ex- istence, and through information fur- nished by the Department of Agricul- ture, as well as through banks and others who supply credit. Moreover, the President cannot ses | how the Government can assume tho | respansibility if acreage becomes over- extended.

He & nted as deing sat! , and legislation along this line would surely lay the founda- tion for a permanent salution of the surplus problem, and it is understood ulm: this is embodied in his proposed plan. The President further is represented as ROt proposing to lend more money 0 the farmer. He wiready belleves the latter i well financed. He would lend money temporarily to experi- mental marketing assoclations with the view that they no doubt would ultimately be financed by the regularly established banks, as were the tem- porary operations of the war finance corporations.
