RECENT DISORDERS IN
AUSTRIAN CAPITAL.
Six Persons Killed in Yesterdays
Rioting in Vienna---Two Hum
dred Wounded.

Vienna, Sept. 1S.-Troops are pa
t,olling the streets and the government
has announced that it is ready at a
moments notice to place the city un-
der martial Law to prevent recurrence
OF Yesterdays rioting when six persons
were killed and 200 wounded as re-
suit OF forcible protest of the people
against the high cost Of living.
The police have issued orders forbid
ding any further socialist meetings, as
Yesterdays demonstration just outside
the city walls was considered directly
responsible for the riot later in the
day. Fifty thousand persons attended
the meeting, and worked themselves
into frenzy of enthusiastic protest
over recent governmental acts prohib'
iting the importation Of foreign meat.
They then marched on the parliament
buildings cheering for revolution and
Portugal. Troops were ordered TO
check their advance, and, when the
mob refused to halt, the soldiers fired
into their ranks.
Unless parliament takes immediate
action on the demands OF the people,
it is feared more serious riots will occur.

4. JONES R|XEY IS DECLARED INSANE;
WILL bESENT To SOME STATE HOSPITAL
Former President of Virginia Safe Deposit and Trust
Go. in Corporation Court This Morning
Brought from Staunton by DR.. De Jarnette.
Examined by Commission of Two Superintendent of Insane Aum
Corporation Court Case Believed TO Have Ended Rey
Concerned

ceed three, TO examine the defendant
before such investigation of the case as
they may deem necessary and report
to the court the condition of the de.
fendant at the time of the examina-
tion."
The act further provides that il the
person be restored to sanity, he shall
forthwith be brought from the insane
asylum to the custody from which he
was as.remored.
The report of the commission was as
follows:
We, DR.. J. S. De Jarnette, super
intendent of the Western State Hos
pital at Staunton and William F.
Drewry, superintendent of the Cen
tral State Hospital at Petersburg,
have this day by direction of your
Honor, examined G. Jones Rixey
touching his insanity and find
him insane and in no condition to
be tried at this time, our opinion being
based on personal examination and the
attached depositors. We believe the
prognosis in the case is very unfavor-
able.
During the examination Mr.. Rixey
was so exhausted that cot bad to be
provided.
Mr.. Rixey arrived in Alexandria at
11:3S. coming direct from Staunton.
He was brought here by DR.. De Jar
nette, superintendent OF the asylum at
Staunton, where Mr.. Rixev has
been confined for the past ten days,
and DR.. Freed his assistant. They
we're met at the station by Robert II.
Cox, city sergeant who accompanied
them to the court room. At the sta
ton there was also present DR.. Pres
ley M. Rixey, surgeon-general OF the
U. S. States Navy and a brother OF Mr..
Rixey, @. Jones Rixey, jr., son OF the
defendant, Henry NJ. Lewis of Char
10 ttesville and ]. G Hiden.
Mr.. Rixey has. not changed mater
tally since his last trip to Alexandria
when be gave bond foi bis appearance
in court today. He limps slightly
from the stroke of paralysis and walks
with q cane. During the proceedings
he sat with bowed heal, resting on his
cane, and did not seem at all interested
in the proceedings which we're going on
about him.
John Jeffries, counsel for Rixey,
made a statement in regard to the con-
tempt proceedings against G. Jones
Rixey, jr., son of the defendant, which
the court accepted and dismissed the
rule against the accused.

G. Jones Rixey, former president
and treasurer of the Virginia Safe
Deposit and Trust Corporation, which
closed its doors last December in the
biggest banking failure Alexandria
ever experienced and carrying down
dozen branches in various parts OF
the state, was found to be insane 10
the Corporation Courttoday.
fAt 4:3O it had not been decided
which hospital Rixey would be sent to-,
but it vas generally understood he
would be committed to the hospital
for the criminally insane at Marion,
and pending the construction OF the
new building at that place he would be
confined at Staunton.
This is believed will be the end of
the case against the banker who
stands charged before the Corporation
Court of this city of with being re.
sponsible for the failure of the institu.
ton wnich he directed. Under the
law Mr.. Rixey will be closely guarded
at hospital until either bis death takes
place or be RECEIVERS his sanity. In
the latter case he would be returned
to this city and be tried on the indict-
ments brought against him by the
special grand jury.
The examination Of Mr.. Rixey was
conducted this morning shortly after
his arrival in this city by DR.. J. S. De-
Jarnette, superintendent ofthe Western
State Asylum at Staunton, and DIR. Will
liam F. Drewry of the Central State
Asylum at Petersburg. The examina-
ton which was a most thorough one
took place in The jury room OF the court
and required three hours. During a
part Of the time Surgeon General Rixey
and other members of the defendants
family were III the room.
The two superintendent who are re-
garded as the ahlest experts in the
state on insanity had been summoned
to Alexandria hy Judge Louis G. Bar
ley under the provisions of statute 1850
of the code which is as follows:
IF any person who is charged with,
or indicted for, any crime bs found, in
the court in which he is charged or in
dicted, to be insane at the time appoint
ed for trial OF such indictment, the court
shall order him to be committed to the
department for the criminal insane at
the proper hospital where he shall be
kept in custody aud cared for until
he has been restored to sanity.
The court in its discretion may appoint
one or more experts on insanity or
other qualified physicians, not to ex-

One Hundred New Cases Every
Week, Thirty Per Cent of Which
Prove Fatal.

London, Sept. 1S.-The cholera Sit
uation in Italy is far more serious than
the government aill admit and every
effort is being made to prevent the fact
from becoming known, according to
private advices received here from
Rome. A rigorous censorsnipis is main
taiued and the real information that
can be obtained is that smuggled out
by mail.
From various sources, lucludlog
private letters, the number OF cases
developing weekly is conservatively
placed at 1000. OF these about 80
per cent prove fatal. Fifty unmis-
taxable cases have appeared in Rome,
and the scourage is also raging in 81 OF

BOISE MEN
PRAISE VALLEY
Prominent Citizens Of Boise Visit
Valley for First Time-Surprised
at Observation-Disclosures Re-
ports Not Exaggerated.

Saturday and Sunday d. P. Dono-
van entertained J. w. Robinson and
Fay d. Young, of Boise, both gentle
men being connected with the Ida
he Trust & Savings Company in the
capacity of cashiers. For twenty
years these men have lived in Boise
and have been reading reports of
what was being accomplished in this
valley along the line of fruit produc-
tion but until the visit here Saturday
mad never made trip through the
valley. Mr. Donovan took them
forty mile ride through the orchard
section and to put it mildly they
were simply dumbfounded at finding
that the newspaper reports had not
been misleading, but were true They
We're both loud in their praises of
the valley. THE development is
wonderful and many acres of well
kept fruitful orchards we have passed
by today are certainly pleasing to
the eye and from the large number
of well built residences we noted
on every hand, these same orchards
are certainly bringing some money
into this country" That is the way
these two men expressed themselves
the Payette Valley and
both expressed a determination to
visit this section more often in the (
'uture than they have in the past
Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1911-06-29
