Aehrenthal, brother of the late foreign
minister, and the head waiter Of the
hotel In which the shooting occurred.
Count Stuergkh arrived at the hotel
at 1880 o'clock. With him at lunch-
con were Baron Aehrenthal, Count
Toggenburg, governor of the Tyrol;
Herr Jacobson, prominent Vienna
musician, and an actor from the Court
Theater.
AT Q O'Clock man unknown to the
premier took a seat three tables away.
He ate luncheon and paid for the meal,
but fingered 1T the table,
Shortly after o'clock he arose, ad-
vanced quickly toward the premier and
fired three shots. The first missed. The
next two struck the premier in the
head. Without a word, Count Stuergkh
fell lifeless in his chair.
Baron AehEenthal sprang toward Ad-
ler. The head waiter grasped the hand
that held the revolver. Adler wrenched
his arm free and fired two shots. Baron
Aehrenthal was wounded in the foot.
The waiter received only superficial
wound.
DR.. Adler apparently was the calm
est man in the room. He gave his
name to the police. without hesitation
and added:
: IF you please, gentlemen, I know
perfectly we'll what l have done. l
shall not resist arrest" -.-.-..
News of the assassination spread
like wildfire and was received with in
dignation and sorrow.
The assassin. who is 80 years DID, Is

Wa-Father Of Adler Condemns
Deed Of Son-BeIonged to Radical

Vienna, Oct. 23.-Government circles
here regard the killing of Premier
Stuergkh as an act of political crank,
which can in no wise influence the po--
iiticai situation or the course of the
war. This statement was made to the
correspondent of the Associated Press
in high responsible quarters.
1t is pointed out that the time which
has elapsed since the murder has shown
that Adler, the assassin, stands alone.
His act is disavowed by the socialist
party and press and condemned by his
father, Victor Adler, socialist member
Of the lower chamber of the reichsrath.
Adler stated to the police that he shot
Stuergkh because the premier opposed
the convening of parliament. 1t is
stated officially that Stuergkh had at
no time done this and that he could
not do 1t because the convening of
parliament was a matter in the hands
Of the political parties.
The Vienna press brands Adler as a
vile, irresponsible criminal and without
exception deplores the fact that the act
Of a crazy man should disturb the peace
of the city.

Chicago Oct. 2s.--Wheat prices made
a fresh jump today of more than cents
a bushel. The December option reach
ed s1.75B and May s1.75M, as against
respectively s1.7oA to s1.7O% and
Sl.O7k to s1.70s,, at the finish Satur-
day. Prodigious buying accompanied
tie advance. Estimates that the worlds
crop was rs per cent under last years
tended to emphasize the shortage In
the United States and so did dwindlng
receipts in the northwest, both sides of
the Canadian line. In addition Argen-
tine drouth damage had forced another
advance in Buenos Ayres. December
closed at $1.74% and May at $174ss

sent to southern trades unionists pur-
porting to give the labor record of
Charles 4 Hughes by john Williams,
former president of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Jolners of
America, was made public yesterday by
John A. Metz, president of the carpen-
ters council of Cook county.
Mr.. Metz wrote Mr.. Williams, who
was labor commissioner of New York
when Hughes was governor, for a de-
tailed statement of the circular sent out
by Mr.. Gompers. Mr.. Williams reply
carries the fiat charge that Mr.. Com
pers and his aids deliberately misrep-
resented Hughes record.
Mr.. Metz last night declared he stood
ready to back up Mr.. Williams and to
add his protest to the campaign circu-
lars being distributed by Mr.. Gompers.
"They are unfair to Mr.. Hughes" said
Mr.. Metz. "The only square thing to
do is to give Mr.. Hughes full record
while governor Of New York and Mr..
Wilson's full record. This, Mr. Com
pers has failed to do"
ut was the solemn duty Of the labor
representation committee of the Amer
