Oct. 30. — (By Associated Press)—Benito Mussolini, leader of | the fascisti called by King Victor Em« manuel to form a cabinet arrived in Rome this forenoon. Crowds throng- ing the neighborhood of the railway terminal gave him an enthusiastis welcome. Mussolini left immediately for the Quirinal, where he was given an au- dience with the king. Calm Is Maintained The capital was lavishly decorated | with flags today, but calm was being maintained. It is believed the new ministry will be constituted in the course of the day. When the fascisti leader arrived at Civitavecchia before taking a train for Rome, thousands of fascisti and citizens welcomed him. In the course of a short address Mussolini exharted the crowds to remain calm. Patriotic airs were sung. Serious Rioting Occurs Serious rioting broke out here last night. Parties of fascisti, while pass- ing through a workingmen's quarter, known to be a hotbed of subversive elements, were attacked by commun- ists who threw stones and fired re- volvers. The fascisti replied. One person was killed and one fascisti was wounded and the fascisti who were greatly outnumbered, had two of their men taken prisoner. 3 Resume Railway Traffic The fascisti immediately telephoned to headquarters whence numerous groups in motor cars went to the res- cue of their companions. Troops, meanwhile occupied the zone with an overwhelming number of soldiers. Railway traffic in Italy suspeffded yes- | terday by order of the military aue thorities, was resumed this morning, the director of railways announced.
