The uproar was primarily aimed at Helfferich, who the Socialists and communists wanted to force out of the chamber through cries of ‘““Mur- derer,” ‘‘Assassin.”’ Soon after the assassination of the Foreign Minister and before the opening of the session of the Reich- stag, the commotion in the chamber was marked by an odd coincidence in the appearance of a youth at the side door bearing a large wreath in- tended as a tribute to Helfferich. Deputy Unterleitner, Independent Socialist, took the floral piece of roses and oak leaves, beribboned in black, white and red, and, holding it up, shouted: “This is a gift of honor for Helfferich.” There was a shout from the left and cries of “Shame,” “The murder gang.”’ A number of deputies immediately seized the wreath and pounced upon the youth, threw him downstairs and turned him over to the police.

He al- so had a country seat at Frienwald, not far from Berlin. Concern Felt in Washington Over Assassination. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, June 24.—Con- cern was expressed in official quar- ters today over the assassination of Foreign Minister Rathenau in Ber- lin. Owing to the tense political situa- tion in Germany and the repeated reports of plots by the Nationalists and Monarchists, it is felt that al- most anything might happen follow- ing the deliberate murder of one of the strongest men in the govern- ment, even a revolution. $7500 000 FOR Ws | DAM 1S AUTHOR House Acts Favorably on 3 priation With Oct. 47 @ | Limitation, * the Associated Press. er WASHINGTON, June 24.—As a | propriation of $7,500,000 for construction work on the dam at Muscle Shoals, Ala,, thorized today by the House sent to the Senate for concy Under a limitation fixed by House, however, none of the can be expended prior to Oct, 1 As authorized originally by Senate when it attached a pre to the army bill providing for newal of work on the dam, the $7. 500,000 was made available for that use, as s00n as the bill was sie vy the President.

It is for the passage of this section, or something akin to it, that the ad- ministration forces will make their big fight. Section 315 gives the President power to change the duties in the bill by a maximum of 50 per cent, either up or down, whenever he .@hall find that the existing duties do not properly equalize the difference im the cost of production here and abroad. To business men complain- ing of this or that item in the make- shift measure, the administration makes reply, in effect, that it doesn't much matter what duties are im- posed by the tariff tinkers of the House and Senate, so long as the President is permitted to proclaim a -60 per cent change whenever he sees fit. ° If the provision goes through— and Republican Senate leaders de- signers.

After’ long rioting in the early part of the session, President Loebe’s perseverance induced partial quiet and the memorial proceedings were begun. They were not without vi- cious interruptions from the left side of the chamber, however. Scenes of Turbulence. Never did the Reichstag witness such scenes of turbulence and exe- crations. Helfferich, the Nationalist leader, who had attacked Dr. Rathe- nau in a savage speech in the Reich- stag yesterday, sat curled up in his seat far to the right of the House. He appeared to be in a very depressed and somewhat fearful state. “This seat,” eaid the President, pointing to Dr. Rathenau’s place on the Government bench, “would not be vacant today had it not been for the boundless inflammatory agita- tion directed against the heads of the Government.” This remark was addressed to the right of the House. He paid Dr. Rathenau a moving tribute for his unselfish devotion to the cause of the republic, and his live the republic,” in which the gal- Chancellor Wirth, who followed, ‘beyond the first few rows of seats. | | } | ing this year’s graduating class from ' | i } | i The | } j | | charged the three defendants jointly | licans obtained were due to whole- | meet axpenses incident to war-time |!

Recalls Work at Genoa. Dr. Wirth recalled Rathenau’s work at Genoa, expressing the con- viction that the dead Minister's sen- timents as expounded in the presence of the allied leaders sounded a new note in behalf of international recon- | ciliation. He praised him for having! pointed out a path which would lead | to the world’s economic restoration. | “Not only did he lay down his life! for his own people,”’ said the Chan-| cellor, ‘‘but he died for the cause of Archbishop Glennon at St. Francis | international reconciliation, and from concluded | his death all true friends of new Germany and those who mean to) cherish cordial sentiments for it will draw an inspiration which will give them needed strength to deal with foes who would throttle the republic. Since the close of the Genoa con- ference Dr. Rathenau has been largely engaged in considering Ger- man reparations questions, mean-| while taking frequent occasion to| defend before German official bodies | and public meetings his course in| signing the Rapallo pact. Dr. Rathenau was born Sept. 29, 1867. His earlier active life was con- fined almost exclusively to wusiness and the exigencies of the war alone calling him into politics. “Childlike and Forgiving.” The middle and left sides of the House rose in vociferous applause. The Chancellor described Dr. Rathe- nau asa “childlike and forgiving soul,” who carried no grudge and who willingly forgot injuries’ in- flictead by others. He said that the Foreign Minister had even declined to accept a bodyguard offered him, ‘Chancellor Wirth's and as he did not believe anyone was Ca- pable of threatening his life. “Then he did not know Helf- ferich,” a Communist Deputy inter- jected. The climax of the Chancellor's brief tribute was reached when, turning to the right, he declared sol- emnly to the Nationalists: “Respect- ed gentlemen, things cannot go on this way any longer.” The Government, he announced, proposed to develop the young re- public in a true social spirit just as soon as pressure from abroad was removed from. it. The House immediately supported the Socialist resolution that both President Loebe’s speeches should: be printed and posted broadcast through Ger- many. Woman Said to Have Been in cai Some witnesses of the assassination declare three men were in the motor car from which the shots were fired at Dr. Rathenau and that he was accompanied by a woman when he left his villa at Grunewald for the foreign office. Five minutes later | the automobile returned to the villa! Rathenau dead. ie Six shots were fired and one hand ' reparations and other problems vital to the allies, his death is said to be a real blow to Germany’s late ene- mies as well as to the Ebert Govern- ment. Rathenau, in collaboration with Chancellor Wirth, is credited here with having made a real effort to comply with Germany’s reparations and other obligations. So long as Wirth remains at.the head of the cabinet, it is expected this policy will continue to be followed. The difficulty is to know whether the violent outbreak against’a mem- ber of the German Cabinet may not precipitate a crisis, since it is be- lieved only a spark is needed to start serious trouble. As minister of the raw materials during the war, Rathenau did more than perhaps any other one German to make’ it possible for the former Kaiser’s army to carry ont. In his disussions with French experts as Minister of Reconstruction Rathenau employed the same genius in work- ing out satisfactory agreements. Chancellor Wirth is expected to have difficulty in finding a succes- sor to Rathenau who possesses any- thing like his qualifications to han- dle financial and economic problems and who is willing to acept the for- eign portfolio. “When Will My Turn Come!” Rath- enau Had Exclaimed.

Poltical Atmosphere in German Has Been Tense for Days. (Copyright, 1922.) BERLIN, June 24.—All Germany has been looking forward with eag- erness or dread to today. The grad- ually accumulating monarchist movement planned its demonstration to begin at midsummer, and it is common talk that there would be an attempted monarchist coup next Wednesday. The political atmosphere has b:+en unnatural for many days and a sort of midsummer madness has been !n the air. All indications pointed to trouble. . Then the Monarchists, who had been attacking the Wirth Govern- ment for not defying the FEntente on the reparation demands, concen- trated their efforts in unusually vio- lent attacks during the last two days.
