CZECHS AND GERMANS IN RIOTS AT PRAGUE Crowds Attempt to Storm Parliament?German Theater and Casino Occupied. PRAGUE. Chechoslovakia, November It (by the Associated Press).?Three days' rioting culminated today in an attempt by the croyds to storm the parliament building? despite efforts by mounted police to hold them in check. Four times deputations forced their way to the back doors of the building and demanded that the premier surrender the German deputy. Itaern, who. it has been reported, spoke in a disparaging manner of the Czechoslovak legionaries. The trouble began on Tuesday after a mass meeting. The German dramatic theater was occupied by the Czechs, and the statue of Joseph II was removed from the square. In retaliation the Germans demolished a Czech school. German senators and deputies walked out of parliament as a pro, test. Police Inspector Svohgr was dragged from his horse during today's disturbance and instantly killed. The statue of Bismarck was paraded through the streets for hours decked with a paper cap and inscriptions, "Shame on the Germans." Dr. Eckstein, German member of the municipal council, has resigned, declaring his presence on the body is useless because the Germans "have been deprived of ail rights before the law." Throughout Wednesday afternoon | the city was the scene of national and | anti-Jewish excesses. The editorial ' and printing offices of the Prager t Tageblatt. the Bohemia and Tribune were entered and half a dozen German clubs were seized. Youths and demobilized soldiers from Siberia were the principal participants in the demonstrations. No resistance was attempted bv the Germans when a crowd of several thousand seized the German casino. The plant of the newspaper Bohemia was left intact because of the fact that bank notes and state papers are printed on its presses. 2.500 MEN LAID OFF. WHEELING. W. Va..
