iIAthcnau IN q savage speech in the
reichstag yesterday, sat curled up in
his seat far to the right of the
house. He appeared to be in very
depressed and somewhat fearful state.
President Loebe had difficulty in
getting the session under way, as the
radicals swarmed over to the right,
threa&ning Hclffcrich and other Ma
tionalists who volunteered to come to
his rescue.
Chancellor Wirth, who stepped down
! from the government bench in an at
tempt to pacify the bellicose deputies,
had to give up the task and the pres
idcnts insistent bell also failed to re-
store order.
The uproar rwas primarily aimed at
Helfferich, whom the Socialists and
Communists wanted to force out OF
the chamber through cries OF "mur-
derer".
! After long rioting n the early part
Of the session, President Loebe's per-
suasivcness induced partial quiet and
the memorial proceedings were begun,
not withGlt vicious Interruptions

ed to the right side Of the house.

Death In Berlin. Many Shots Fired
by tnknONn Men.
Berlin June 2i.-Dr. Walter Rathen-
au, German foreign minister and more
closely identified than any other Ger
man with the efforts at the rehabilita-
ton Of his country since the war, was
shot and instantly killed by two or
more unknown assassins while on his
way from his residence this morning
to the foreign Office
The minister was subjected to a
veritable hail Of bullets, one of them
striking him in the throat and p>ass-
ing upward to the brain, while others
struck him in various parts Of the
body Hand grenades also were
thrown, almost wrecking the car in
which Dr. HAthcnau was riding and
inilictinS further injuries on the min
ister
Chancellor Wirth's government to-
night is marshalling the nations lib.
eral elements to the defense of the
young German republic and organized
labor, represented in both Socialist
parties, Is again first to BUCKLE on the
armor, Just as 1t did during the Kapr
revolt. Announcement is made that
| the government will establish extra
ordinary courts for the trial of Ma
! tionalist plotters and that state OF
emergency for Prussia will be pro
claimed.
| All rcgimcntal reunions and mill
taristic demonstrations are to be pro
hibited
| Yet despite vocifcrous cries OF
Long live the republic" which re-
sounded through the reichstag cham
per at tho close Of memorable ses-
sion to Rathenau today, thoughtful
mcn of all ranks and parties were
silently but gravely aDprchensive for
the nation
While the heat OF resentment and
tmrtisan feeling had not yet sufficient
! ~ cooled to warrant a sure appraisal
| OF the direction in which the political
effect Of Rathenau's assassination will
spread, yet this much is certain
the government is facing a far more
iprccarous situation than it did when
Nationalist bullets truck down Err
berger in the Black Forest ten months
ago
! The emotion which marked the brief
addresses of Chancellor Wirth and
President L0ebe before the rcichstag
raised sentiments which were shared
by many others, while the rioting of
the radicals throughout what was to
have been a dccorous memorial of the
dead fura.3N minister reflected the
feeling Of unrelenting vengeance VOW
cd in behalf Of the German prole-
tariat.
Never did the reichstag witness
such scenes Of turbulence and ex-
coriation5. Dr.. lTelfferich, the Ma
tionalist leader, who had attacked Dr..
