strongly guarded by special force Of police
and soldiery.

OF governmental officers and endesvOr 10
arrange an UNDERSTANDING between the Ger

Herr Wolf yesterday resisted with such
energy that he broke away q portion OF his
seat.f il took six constables TO oyerpow er
him. Twice ne sprAng out OF the cab in
which he was being carried 10 the police
station, and as il drove OF with him at
furious pHce he shouted TO the crowd:
People Of Vienna, dou't let your deputy
Wolf, be arrested The cunstables thrust
him back into the cab, drew muller over
his mouth and held IL there
There is no doubt that this arrest to-
gether with the fact that the leuserites
yesterday, seeing that the popular discomfort
WAS growing abandoned their attitude and
sspoused tie obstructionist cause. was the
chief element that brought about the sudden
turn Of events.
