RIOTERS DAMAGE
MUCH IN VIENNA
Police Passive During Mob's
Orgy of Plumber and
Destruction

Vienna, Dec. (By Associated
'ress) The inner city of Vienna to-
lay looked as though it had been
struck by a tornado as the result of
yesterdays rioting, the worst since the
downfall of the monarchy All the
leading hotels and restaurants and
many of the shops dealing in luxuries
were wrecked, and the streets are
cluttered with debris.
No deaths have been reported, but
u police official said that many had
been injured by the mobs in their orgy
of plunder and destruction. The po-
lice stood idly by while the mobs
worked their will, some even express
sing sympathy with the rioters.
The trouble started in a demon
stration before the parliament build
ing by strikers from Floridsdorf, a
suburb. They sent to Chancellor
Schober demands for abolition OF the
Stock Exchange, contiscation of for
eign securities and more effective con-
troll. His answer they considered un-
satisfactory, and the rioting began
shortly afterward, spreading to all
parts of the inner city.
The empty Stock Exchange was
stormed, the hotels partially wrecked
and their guests robbed, insuIted and
beaten, and wei ldressed pedestrians
in the shopping district were stripped
of furs jewels and money. Many
Americans were among those attacked
although in one instance the display
of the American flag saved n Colonel
Miller and his wife from moestation.

YOUNG BURGLAR
ii Year Old Mcridcn Boy Has Had
Bad Record

Meriden. Dee. Theodore Cru
denski, IA, who lives with his parents
at 176 Springdale avenue, was re-
committed to the State school by the
local court this morning after a tale
had been told of bold burglary and
high life that startled the police
officials. Sunday before last he en-
tered the Meriden market on West
Main street through a transom and,
going into the cellar, he broke a gas
meter but got no money. In the
store he found the safe door unlocked
and helped himself to 1915 in cash
and checks that brought his total
haul to s457. The only clue the
police had was a -four tingerprint on
the safe door and hearing stories that
young Theodore was spending money
lavishly and taking trips out of town,
they photographed his fingers and the
arrest followed. He confessed and
s43 was found hidden in his home.
Some money may be decovered from
articles he purhased but $3.50 is not
accounted for. Theodore said he
burned the checks.
