Ri0touS Scenes Occur In Berlin

 VORWAERTS OFFICE Protest Against Converting National Assembly Else
 where Than Berlin.

London, Jan. 10-Rioting oc- cured in Berlin during last night after the Spartacans had attempted to destroy the ballot boxes used in Sundays cleo ton, according to an Exchange Telegraph despatch from Co penhagen.
 The Spartacans were repuls- ed everywhere. Fighting took place, it is reported, in Will helmstrasse and Hedemann- strasse and at the Halleschc Tor. The Spartacans also at tempted to storm the office of the Vorwaerts.
 The municipal government Of Greater Berlin has protested to the Ebert Cabinet against the proposal to convene the National Assembly else where than in Berlin.
 Opposition to Berlin as the seat Of the assembly is said to emanate chief ly from South German sources which, in view of the recent occurrences at the capital, fear for the fate of tho new republic if the assembly meets here.
 The streets of Berlin today were buried under a deluge of lee ton dodgers, hand-bills and leaflets, while the fronts of houses and handy windows were plastered with posters hung up by campaign workers during the morning, frequently without the knowledge of house or store proprie- tors.
 The spectacle was one wholly new to Berlin where the bill board priviliged are strictly confined to the familiar columns on the street corners. while the distribution of hand-bills ordi- nartty Is severely restructed by police regulations. The Majority Socialists alone are reported to have distributed 30,O00, 000 dodgers, in addition to wall papering the city with myTiads of posters.
 The entire apparatus of the gov l ernment was set in motion for the Majority Socialist campaign, which | was easily the most effective of any carried on for today's historic election | of members of the National Assem- l bly,. In addition to having the strate- | gic advantage of governmental control the Scheidemann party was more adept at campaigning than the bour- geois factions to whom the game un- | der present conditions was somewhat new. The Independent Socialists ] confined their attempts at vote-get- ting to public meetings and were not represented in the spread of the vast quantities of printers ink. The Ger man Democratic party. however. was | literally represented among the hand bills and posters, and carried on ar active house-to-house canvass. The | Conservative, Clerical and NationG Liberals proved themselves compara- lively successful in campaigning meth ods, relying chiefly on the party news paper organs.
 It Is estimated that seven divisions of troops were placed at the disposal of the government to protect the poll ing places A machine gun squad was in position within a hundred feet ot each voting place. while strong mill tary police patrols also were or guard. The voters everywhere turn ed out early and the rush to the polls | resulted in the formation of long ] lines of men and women awaiting | their turn to vote.

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. IL
The committee in charge of the
general strike agreed to end the
strike this afternoon after a con-
ference with Pres't lrigoyen and

Twenty persons were killed
and 90 wounded in another at

in various sections for several
hours later.
The conditions of the settle

The attack on the poStoffice
was carefully arranged. Men
began to straggle into the build
ing as if on business, and when
about 200 were assembled,
shooting began. The govern

end to this terrorism.
Two police stations were at

also a hospital. A national COM

REPUBLICANS IN
ASSEMBLY DIVIDE
Goodrich Schemes May Go on
Rocks Due to Split
in Party.

News Times Special Service:
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 1.-THE
first two days of the list general
assembly were like the rolling thun-
der that precedes a March storm.
In many years it is probable that
there has been no such momentOus
political storm brewing in a legis-
lature as is evident here today. The
republican state administration and
its program of legislation already is
drawing such fire from within its
own legislature that it seems impos-
sible that many additional days can
elapse before an open explosion
takes place, with the Goodrich pro-
gram OF Capitalization and the state
republican administrations program
Of backing up the governor as the
targets Of the explosion.
The first fire popped off for the
public when Edgar ID. Bush. lieu
tenant governor, made his opening
speech TO the senate. In that speech,
which received wide publicity
throughout the state, Mr.. Bush
served notice-without mentioning
any names-that ne intends to pad
die his own canoe in the list gem
eral assembly. and that it is the con-
stitutional privilege of every senator
TO do likewise. He spoke long
against Capitalization Of power and
celebrating the theory Of the cOnsti-
tutional right II the legislative
branch OF the government 10 handle
its own affairs. without outside in
reference from anot her branch of
the government. The speech. in a
word was a ringing defiance 10 the
Goodrich proeram, and II is being
talked over in republican circles
here as the first indication OF what
this legislature is to be.
Senate Is Defiant.
The Bush speech is not the only
indication that is seen here Of the
way things arc drifting. Everybody
has agreed from the first. who knew
anything about the legislature. that
;he senate would defy attempts TO
force il into a groove where 1t
would legislate the ideas of others
than its own members. IL was ap-
parent that the house would he
tractable for the republican state
organization. but THAT the senate
might he inclined 10 be entirely too
fractions and independent 10 satisfy
he leaders, who were preparing the
elaborate legislative program that
has been proposed in the governors
message.
Already the senate has shown its
teeth. or NJ least its presiding officer
has indicated that there are some
teeth lurking around in the Hobbies
TO be shown the moment anyone tries
20 dominate legislation.
But the sad part Of the situation.
from the republican standpoint. is
that the house. too. is growing and
vumblins 10 itself like a sprint;
rain-cloud. There are rumors fly
/ ing thick and fast Of growing in
