SHOTS IN SENATE
Man Fires Revolver From Gallery
SENATOR KILLED Minister and Another Wounded BUENOS AIRES SENSATION By Telegraph.— Press Assn. —Copyright. (Received July 24, 8.40 p.m.) Buenos Aires. July 23. Wltile the Argentine Senate was to-day bitterly debating tlie Bill to extend Government control of foreign meat packers a spectator, identified by the police as Ramon Vasquez Gora, started firing a revolver from the gallery killing Senator Enzo Bordabehere, who represented Santa Fe Province, and wounding Senator Luis Dualiau, Minister of Agriculture, and Senator Rafael Mancini, also representing Santa Fe. Senator Bordabehere and Senator Duahau ware taking opposite sides in the discussion, and seemed about to engage in a fist fight when the shooting started. The police stated that Cora is the lender of the local Fascist movement. It is believed that he was serving as a bodyguard for liis friend, Senator Duahau and that he shot Senator Bordabehere to prevent him from attacking the Jlinister. Cora's aim, however, was faulty, and he wounded the man he was delegated to protect. It is thought he must have entered the building accompanied by the senator, because al! others were searched for arms before they were allowed to enter.
