crowd repeatedly and drove them

An angry mob attacked the motor
car of the German deputy, Erzherger,
smashing the windows. The mob
pressed in about the limousine shout

Erzherger escaped by speeding
through the crowd.
Conflicting reports regarding the &C
ton of the king as taken following the
resignation of the Salandra ministry
were circulated in Rome today. The
king, it is known, at first refused to
accept the resignation of Premier Sa-
iandra, but when the latter became in
sistent, called in Signor Marcora, pres
ident of the chamber of deputies, and
asked him to organize new cabinet
Marcora Forms New Cabinet.
Rome, May 15.-Giuseppe Marcora
entrusted by King Victor Emmanuel
with the task of forming a new cab
met to succeed the Salandra ministry,
which insisted upon its designations
being accepted because it lacked the
unanimous support of the country IN
a supreme crisis, is a Garibaldian vet
experience in public life and in 1910
declined request to organize cab
met. He Ierved many years in par
Lament and has long been president
the cnan1D0r OF deputies.
After receiving the kings request
he called upon Premier Salandra and
former Premier Giolitti. He then
waited upon his majesty and reported
progress in his efforts to get togeth-
er a new ministry which would repre-
sent all phases of public opinion. He
already has assured himelf of the
support of Signor Rissloatti, leader of
the Socialist reformists; Signor Pan
tano, a radical leader, and Signor
lot .a-&v- h
licans. 1t is believed he will be sus-
tanned also by Signor Salandra and
that Signor Giolitti will assume an at
titude of friendly neutrality.
Salandra is one of the most popular
figures in Italy among the people. He
was wildly cheered yesterday after
noon while driving to the chamber of
deputies to confer with Signor Mar
cora. Soldiers and their officers
joined in the demonstration.
Prince Scipione Borghese, head of
one of the foremost families of Rome,
indicated yesterday he favors war
when he sent from his palace to Bor-
ghese square a large Italian flag to
be carried at the head of the crowd
which was wildly applauding Salan-
dra.
Before his resignation was accepted
Premier Salandra sent to all projects
in the kingdom circular reminding
them they are authorized if necessary
the protection of public order. He
urged that foreigners be
treated with respect, evidently refer
ring to Germans and Austrians.
While no official statement has
been made as to possible solution of
the grave problem the country faces,
there is a possibility that the meeting
of the chamber of deputies may be
further adjourned or the session of
closed. In the latter case
it would be reassembled within three
months with a speech from the throne.
The possibility of a dissolution of the
chamber undoubtedly has been con-
templated if it is found to be in con-
troll of parliamentary majority
which does not represent the real will
of the country. In this connection it
is recalled that the grandfather of the
present king, while engaged in war
with Austria, dissolved the chamber
three times in succession until he OBJ
tanned the majority he desired.
