STUDENTS RIOT
IN OLD VIENNA
BLOODY FIGHT BEWEEN GER
MAN AND ITALIAN
STUDENTS.

Vienna, Nov. 24.-The German and
Italian students attending the Uni
versity of Vienna came into a serious
collision in the university precincts
yesterday morning, and before the po-
lice drove the demonstrants away, re-
Nolvers had been freely used and
several young men wounded.
The trouble was occasioned by an
italian demonstration in favor of the
establishment of an Italian univer-
sity at Trieste. To this the German
speaking students objected, and they
promptly organized counter demon
strat on. The opposing factions to-
tailed 1920 men, and they sang them
selves into the fight with stirring pa
triotic airs, the Italians using the
Garibaldi hymn and the Germans
The Watch on the Rhine.
The fight started with fists, sticks
and stones, but the feeling quickly
grew more bitter and revolvers ap-
peared and shots were fired
The Italians were driven from the
building and gathered in the street
outside. At this stage the police APP
peared and promptly dispersed the
rio.ers with their swords.

DISTURBANCE.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-Joseph G. Can
non, speaker If the house, placed
himself on record yesterday III favor
OF revision of the tariff in accordance
with the promise of the republican
partS~platform and declared that so
far IS his vote was concerned he
would see TO it that the announced
policy OF revision will be written in
the national laws as soon as possible
The words of the speaker came at
the conclusion of luncheon given to
six rear admirals of the navy By Al
exander H. Revell, Chicago, in the
Union League club at which the need
OF more battleships and an increased
efficiency of the fighting forces of
the republic were the principal
themes of discussion. Speaker Can
non declared himself in favor of an
efficient navy and army for the good
of the republic. On the tariff ques-
tons his words were:
ANY change in the revenue laws
of the country of necessity is followed
W ANPA SooAOA VI DuSluSSSs uIGG
years ago | followed the lead of The
odore Roosevelt, who declared there
should be no revision of the revenue
laws, which means tariff, until after
the next general election. His policy
was not to change existing condi-
lions. The republican platform on
which the natural contest has beer
won says, revise the revenue Law.
That revision should be made with
due regard to protection and a penal
ty against discriminatory nations. As
member of the next house, a co-or-
dinate branch of the government
equal to the executive and judiciary,
and | will be there if | live, the pol
icy of the republican party on this
question will be written in the ma
tional laws as promptly as possible.
The law should be written promptly
so that business can adjust itself to
the changed conditions, for the
change will of necessity bring dis
turbance"
