CHAMBER IN UPROAR
AS DEPUTY FIRES
SHOTS AT LEADER
Hungarian Opposition Men,
Der Ends His Life I'm
mediately After.

BUDAPEST, June 7.-Count Tisza,
the government leader In parliament to-
day was shot at but not injured in the
chamber of deputies by M. Kovacs, an
opposition deputy, who then turned his
revolver upon himself and fired two bull
let's into his head, dying instantly.
Kovacs was one of the opposition
deputies excluded from the chamber on
May 81, following a near-riot In which
the Emperor and the government off,
cials were bitterly assailed by the OPP
position. .-.... .-.-s ...
The disgruntled Kovacs. who, It was
said, brooded over what he considered
humiliation until his mind became af-
fected, entered the chamber unob-
served today, and walked into the box
provided for newspaper correspondents
before his presence was known. Stand
Ing at the rail he drew a revolver
from his pocket and fired three shots
at Count Tisza In rapid succession,
but his aim was bad and the three
bullets went wild. y
Instantly there was wild disorder, as
deputies, parliament officers, and news
paper men rushed toward Kovacs,
thinking he might fire again, but the
would-be assassin forestalled them by
killing himself. ........ .....',
Count Tisza remained calm and did
not leave his place during the turmoil.
As soon as the body was removed from
the chamber he ordered that the pro-
ceedings Immediately be resumed.
