the government generally, and Rathe
nau in particular, concerning the cab
inet’s reparations policy and its at
titude toward the population of the
Rhineland and Saar valley.
News of the assassination reached
the Reichstag at eleven o’clock, just
when the commission on taxation had
convenad. ‘Chancellor Wirth an.
nounced the assassination upon
which pandemonium broke out among
the various party groups. Two so
cialists jumped up shouting to Helff
erich, “you are the assassin.” He
hastily left the committee room.
Lataer, when the assassination was
announced in the Reichstag itself, it
was received with deep emotion and
adjournment was quickly taken.
The fatal shot struck Rathenau in
the chin and a half dozen other bul
lets perforated his back. The assail
ant also threw hand grenads injur
ing his body. :
Following the assassination of
foreign minister Rathenau it was
announced this afternon the govern
ment world immediately decree the
establishment of extra-ordinary
courts for the trial of national
plotters and would proclaim a state
of emergency for Prussia. All regi
mental reunions and militaristic de
monstrations will be prohibited. 1

NEW KIND OF “WET”

SAME IN SAVANNAH
eyt
Savannah, Ga., June 23.—A good
many ‘“‘wet” stories have gone out
of Savannah and a good many more
might be sent put if the dry of
ficers could get at all the material
for them, but one on a different line
broke over the city last night, one
vouched for by dozens of sane and
Sober ecitizens, both men and women.
For twenty minutes over nearly
a third of the city a steady rain fell
‘last night between 11 and 12 o’clock
‘out of as clear a sky as ever was
seen over Savannah. The rain was
not a downpour but a steady moder
ate shower which peppered tin
roofs for nearly half an hour, ran
down the guttering and washed the
streets, the dripping continuing
another half hour after the rain
ceased. Early in the night with no
clouds in sight, an occassional drop
of water was felt here and there,
At 11:20 it began to rain gently and
then harder, with no breeze. Over
‘head the stars were as bright as if
‘l,h('y had just had their faces serub
‘bcd, there were no ciouds anywhere
all round the horizon that could be
' goen—the whole, skies were cloud
less s 0 far as could be gseen—and
it,hc stars told the facts—from 9 to
10 o’clock till after sun-up this
S‘mornim:. The phenonenon was the
gubject of much comment and many
‘theories have been advanced as 1o
the cause of suce continued and
‘measurable precipitation without, the
visible presence of clouds or fog or
