VIENNA, October -Four shots were
fired from the gallery in the lower house
of the reichsrath today in the direction
of the ministerial benches. where the
ministers of justice and education were
seated. No one was injured. The man
who fired the shots was arrested.
DR.. Adler. a social democrat, was at
tacking the minister of justice, Herr

the sentences imposed upon those arrested
during the recent rioting at meetings held
in protest against the high cost of food
when the shooting occurred.
Excitement in Chamber.
Close by Herr Hochenburger sat the
minister of education. Count Stuergkh
There was much excitement for time
and the session was abruptly adjourned.
1t is supposed that the attack was the
result of the bitterness engendered against
the government during the campaign
against the increased cost of living. 4
mass meeting of social democrats was
held Sunday, September IL, and was fol-
lowed by the destruction of property and
conflicts with the police, during which
three persons were killed and nearly 100
others injured.

NEXT SUNDAY FIRST DAY
Will Be Open From l 80 to 4:30
O'Clock in Afternoon.
NEW BUILDING WORTH TRIP
Exhibits, Attractively Housed in
Adequate Quarters, Present
More Attractions.

The National Museum, containing the
government splendid collections of ar
theological exhibits. historical treas
ures and specimens of the most inter
esting kind, and now also including the
splendid paintings of the National Mu
scum of Art, will be open to the public
on Sunday for the first time in its his
tory next Sunday from 80 to i:30
O'Clock pm. The officials of the mu-
scum, who have been considering the
opening Sunday OF this great storehouse
of knowledge for years past, have at last
decided that Sunday is the logical day
for the great mass of the people to at
tend the exhibit.
For that reason il has been decided
to open the building. although the ex-
hibits are not all in place. AS the work
Of mounting and placing the various
cases is long and tedious, it was deemed
advisable not TO delay the Sunday open
ing, but to begin next Sunday.
Only One Sunday Entrance.
Only one entrance will be open Sun
days and that is the north door. at 10th
street northwest.
The interior of the new museum build
ing is worth a trip just for itself. 1t is
generous in its proportions, and as light
as possible The marble columns of the
rotundas are beautifully carved, and give
the entire place an atmosphere of wealth.
Perhaps the most interesting of all the
exhibits at present is the collection of
paintings in the National Museum of
Art. These paintings have never been
shown to better advantage than they
are at present on the first floor Of the
building.
Tens of thousands of people have never
seen this exhibit, for the simple reason
| that they have no hours to spend in such
| leisure except on Sunday. and on Sunday
Show to Better Advantage.
| Those who have seen the exhibits in the
old museum building will recognize then
in the new location, but will also see that
J the move has been for the better, as all
the exhibits seem brighter and bigger
/ They are not cramped for space. The old
| friends in chronological exhibit the In
| dians grinding corn and the Squaws
scraping skins. and all those old friends
| of the old building are in cleaner cases
| and some of them are in much larger
cases. 1t is the plan to have all those
cases enlarged eventually
| The Sunday opening of the National
Museum has been advocated by The Star
for two years. Inc attention OF the
| officials was called to the fact that the
hours during which the museum has
been opened made it impossible for de-
partment clerks, business men and
school children to spend much, If any,
time in the halls. Practically the only
persons who have been able to get
complete view of the museum and it's
valuable treasures have been a few
tourists. With these facts before them.
the museum officials set about perfect

PASSENGER
TIES Up. TROLLEY LINE
No Seat inside, He Insists on
Riding on Front Plat
form.

An enforcement of. the order of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany management that no one be allowed
to stand on the front platform of any of
its cars with the motornan delayed traf-
fic on one particular section Of that line
today for ten minutes, cars being strung
from in front of the British embassy on
Connecticut avenue to far beyond Du-
pont Circle on both the Georgetown and
Mount Pleasant lines
The delay was caused by a well
groomed young man who boarded the
car at N street at $50 o'clock AS he
boarded the front platform and took a
glance at the inside he noted every
seat was taken and the aisle was crowd
ed. He Immediately took up station to
the left of the mOtorman and calmly
settled back for the ride downtown. The
motorman, noting his position, announced
that he would have to enter the car be-
fore it would start. He stated he did not
intend to until given a seat.
Both men stared at each other for a
moment. Then the motorman announced
that under the rules of the company he
could proceed no farther until the pas
senger left the platform.
Cars "Pile UP" Fast.
AS tine moment was one of the busiest
of the day for street car traffic, the cars
began to string out for squares. The
passengers in the first soon got wind
that some one on the front platform was
making test case and began leaving
by the rear platform in order to get
better view of the man who vas holding
up traffic. He was especially calm and
did not seem for one moment to mind the
attention he was commanding.

Meanwhile the string of cars kept get

employed in various offices OF the govern
ment who We're passengers on the car
began to have visions that they would be
late in arriving at their places of en-
ployment. One seated near the front of
the car announced that she would be de-
lighted to give up her seat in the car to

Refused to Take Woman's Seat.
The information that there was seat
vacant on the inside had it's effect on the
solitary platform passenger and he
budged for the first time after taking his
position. The woman passenger was
screened by those in the congested aisle
and as the man from the platform came
into the car lie saw for the first time that
q woman was giving up her seat for him,
stepping aside, he politely tipped his hat
and declined the proffered seat, insisting
that she return to it. which she did.
This turn of events caused the motor
man TO take his place. traffic was resum-
cd and the incident ended so far as the
hell gerent passenger was concerned.
Throuehout the journey he was an object
Of interest and every now and then there
was craning of necks to get view of
the man who held up traffic apparently
as a remonstrance against the overcrowd-
Ing of cars.
