a Vienna periodical.
Three shots were fred. each taking

greatest sensations of the war.
Extra editions OF leading newspa-
pers put upon the streets a few
minutes after the shooting had been
reported to the police merely an

was the result. The belief was spread
that Baron Burian, the Austro-Hun-
garian foreign minister was the VIC

Is no such ONCE.
Austro- Hungarian residents of Ber-
lin seized with fear and panic stormed
the embassy and consulate to obtain
details Comparative calm was re-
stored when the identity OF the as

known. While Count Stuergkah was
one of the most distinguished and re-
vered statesmen IN Austria Hun

part in the affairs Of his nation ex-
ception in purely domestic matters.
New excitement was provoked by
suppleme ntary extra editions giving
the name OF the assassin as "one Ad-

years of age and had been for years

life. He achieved note by the part he
took in 1908 and subsequent years in
the fight over Austria's educational
system eliminating in victory for
the advocates of the "humanstic gym

longed. The count was born in 1889
at Graz. He began his parliamentary
