VIENNESE HOLD -CARNIVAL ORGY AS HUNGRY DIE Famine, Disease, Staggering National Debt Fail to Check Extravagance. NOW SHORT $20,000,000,000 VIENNA, Feb. B.—The deficiency of Austria now totals the gigantic sum of 100,000.000,000 kronen, or $20,000,000 000, as estimated on the pre-war value of the kronen. Announcement to this effect was made today following Cabinet sessions Tuesday and Wednesday to consider the budget and to take steps to obtain financial aid. I The first meusure provides for doubling the duties on bread, sugar and tobacco. Postage has been Increased 100 fer cent and railway freight have climbed B 0 per cent. Vienna is a city of tragic contrasts. Gluttony and famine, debauchery and disease, wealth and poverty and gayety and distress rub elbows. Ninety per cent of the population Is In ntter misery. The remaining 10 per cent, enriched by gambling, graft and profiteering, are living amidst mad extravagance. DANCE" ALL, NIGHT diking CARNIVAL. The carnival season, the gayest time of lb pre-war days. Is here, with dancing, singing and drinking from evening until dawn. Twenty thousand kronen were charged for a box at the carnival ball. This price proved too steep even for the English, with the exchange rates overwhelmingly in their favor, yet 8,000 Austrians attended. Tickets were sold out three weeks in advance. For the carnival festivities almost every other building has been converted into a case where passersby are invited to drown their cares in champagne—at 2,000 kronen a bottle. While all this hectic gaiety marks some parts of the city the Inhabitants of the poorer quarters walk with drooping heads and faltering steps and with tragedy in their eyes. WOMEN SHOW CONTRAST IN DRESS. Bagged women with gaunt faces, clutching babies beneath their dirty Shawls, pass by the wives and daughters of profiteers who are attired as brilliantly as any Parisian. The “smart'' shops are filled with a profusion of elegant goods, but the price tags take one's breath away. The cheapest article costs a month's salary for the ordinary Austrian. , For * example, an •vcrcoat of English cloth commands 34,000 kronen. McCray Will Speak to Junior Chamber governor Warren T.

POLICE IN RAID ON ‘NOAH’S ARK’ (Centinued From Page One.) and mnssed up the pool balls on the table. Then Big George, who was employed in the city ash hauling department, picked up the policeman and slammed him down so hard on a cigar case that the case was broken Into splinters. George then took Patrolman Shea's gun away from him and ordered him to stand up. Coveriug Shea with the pistol, George so frightened the policeman that he surrendered his club and badge. Then George said “good-by” and walwed out. A riot call resulted In the emergency squad and many more police being sent to the scene. Another negTO employed by the city ash hauling department was arrested on charges of vagrancy and resisting an officer, but he had not been tried. FLEMING TO RESCUE OF POLICE FORCE. Then the police learned that Big George and several other negroes, armed with revolvers, were in a house in the northeastern part of the city. They feared to try to arrest George and his friends, so they called Henry Fleming, negro in charge of the city ash hauling department. Fleming says that Police Captain Ed Ball promised him that if he would bring Big George to headquarters and recover Patrolman Shea’s gun, badge and club no serious charge would be placed against George. Fleming induced George to surrender, but the police made no mention of this fact and their reports declare George was arrested by Sergt. Tooley and squad. Fleming says he was "double,-crosseU” by Capt Ball, who ordered George charged with robbery as well as two minor charges. George waived examination Jn city court the next day. Fleming Told Capt. Ball a few things about what he considered a "double cross.” That was Just what Mayor Jewett sired, for be had been trying to “get” Fleming for political reasons for some months. Fleming resigned by request. TRY TO PUT NOAH OCT OF BUSINESS. Now the police, who were evidently working on orders from the “good government higher-ups,” sre busy trying to put old Noah Fritx, the friehd of Henry Fleming, out of business by raiding his
