Any of ficial of the State of California who cares to wear creased trousers on of ficial business can pay for the creasing himself. The state does not recognize any responsibility in this direction. The official also will pay for the launder ing of collars soiled in travel or else go on wearing them. As for "valeting" there being no permissible terms strong enough to express the disap proval of the State Board of Control against such luxury. The now regula tions, wherein are set forth these facts, simply say it is "not a proper charge against the state and will not be al lowed." Necessity for confining; expense ac counts of state officials within castiron rules Is said to have originated partly in the alleged scandalous conduct of a former State Adjutant-General, who, on an official trip to Washington, went as far as to have his wrinkled uniform pressed at the Washington end of the trip and put the expense thus Incurred up to California's taxpayers. It never can happen again.

PEOPLE ERECT BARRICADES 50,000 Attend Demonstration for Cheaper Living. REVOLUTION BATTLE CRY Many Fall When Order Is Given to Troops to Fire Soldiers and Po lice Wounded Parliamen tary Action Needed. VIENNA, Sept. 17. Traceable to the high prices of the necessities of life, riots broke out today and many per sons were killed or wounded. Troops fired on the mob, which had erected barricades In the streets. There was a fierce exchange of bullets and the sol diers were pelted with all sorts of missiles. Following a huge Socialist demons tration outside the Rathraus held In protest against the high prices of food, troops were ordered out to disperse ths crowd. In the early clashes 60 civilians were wounded and 100 arrested. Fifty thousand persons were present at the demonstration and fiery speeches were made demanding that the gov ernment permit the Importation of for eign meat and take measures to rem edy the conditions that have results 1 from the prohibitory Increase In the price of food. Hob Cheers for Revolution. After the meeting a large procession marched to the Parliament buildings cheering for revolution and Portugal. Revolvers were fired In the air and then the mob began stone-throwing. The windows of many publlo and pri vate buildings, restaurants and tram cars and street lamps were smashed. Finally a squadron of dragoons and a detachment of Infantry charged ths rioters and dispersed them. The mobs reassembled, however. In the suburbs, which are occupied by the working class, where they wrecked more prop erty. The troops were retained thoroughout the day, guarding the Im perial palace and government build ings and holding approaches to tha Inner city. Toward evening the rioting became more serious. The mob demolished the street lamps on the main thorough fare, plunging the street Into dark ness. They hurled missiles of various kinds on the soldiers from the upper windows of houses. Many Fall at Flrat Volley. The order was at length given to the troops to fire. At the first volley many rioters fell, either killed or wounded. Several of the soldiers and policemen were also wounded and 100 more of those engaged in the conflict were placed under arrest. The agitation is the culmination of months of bitter discontent over the steady increase In the cost not only of food but of lodging, clothing and all the necessities of life and, unless Par liament takes action It is feared that developments of the disturbances will be very serious. The rioting was of a most deter mined and Bavage character. The mob was especially Inflamed by the appear ance of troops on the scene, and al though an official account says that only one person was killed by a bayo net thrust, several were wounded by a volley and about 60 seriously wound ed, there Is reason to believe that the casualltlea were much higher. Unof ficial reports say that six persons were killed snd more than 300 severely In jured. The Socialist party, although It en couraged the demonstration, had re fused to take any responsibility of th maintenance of order and had appointed-no oommittee to control the proceedings. Rence everything de volved upon the police, who were obliged to call for military aid. The appearance of the troops intensified the wrath of the rioters, who shouted: "We want no military- We want bread." Cavalry Called to Act. Stone throwing became incessant and clashes between tie polloe and the mob, wltb cavalry charges, continued throughout the afternoon. Smashing windows in all directions, the mob completely wrecked a cafe and smashed an automobile standing in front. In a park they removed the seats to build barricades. At the heighth of tha disorders the Socialist leaders tried to calm the crowd, but the Infuriated mob set upon one - of them and beat him into unconscious ness. All available cavalry was brought out to line me streets and protect the public buildings. The rioting in the Ottakring quarter was still more serious. Tramcars were overturned snd shops were wrecked. School Furniture Burned. The mob forced its way Into a school house and dragged all the fur niture into the street and burned it. The troops nred twice into the crowd here and many rioters fell. It was near midnight before order was re stored. More rioting tomorrow la feared.
