News from Bratislava. Czecho
Slovakia and and other points neal

ness Of yesterdays rioting. These
dispatches estimated the number OF
dead at IL and the injured at l19.
These reports agree that the up
rising grew TO alarming proportions
because workmen from the suburbs
OF Vienna surprised the police and
spread the agitation through the
center of the city before measures
were taken by the police to control
the movement.
Files Barned
The authorities seem to have
realized the danger Of the move
ment only when the rioters forced
their way into the Palace Of JUS
tice and seized and set fire to the
files Of legal documents. For some
time the mob kept the firemen from
approaching the building, and mean
while the blaze spread.
The mob, reinforced rapidly By
new arrivals from factories around
the city, then attacked the police
post near the city hall and destroyed
all furniture and documents found
there.
Il was then the police authorities
finally decided that energetic mea-
sUres were necessary to prevent a
further spread of the trouble. De-
tachments were sent to the scene OF
the riot. They were received with a
shower of stones thrown by the
demonstrators.
Bloodshed Starts
With this the bloodshed began, the
police using arms TO protect them
selves from the mob. The firemer
were then able to get the hose into
play and confined the conflagratior
TO the buildings Of the Palace OF
Justice.
The police finally succeeded in
throwing the rioters from the
squares and streets in the immedi.
ste vicinity of the Palace of justice
The gendarmes then began the work
Of clearing other parts Of the city
where the demonstrators had taken
refuge.
