describable tumult followed
During the tumult social democrat,

terial bench and, hurrying to the pres
idential chair, seized the papers which
were lying on the presidents desk and
tore them to pieces while other social
democrats hastened to Herr Berner's
assistance, occupied the tribune and
demanded satisfaction for the attend
ants pummelling of Herr Berner.

ever, was prevented by the police who
promptly dispersed the gatherings.
