Bloody righting occurred here early today between he police and throngs of anti-tax rioters. It was the third day of disorder, fol lowing parliament's refusal to censure the government for the grafting re cently discovered in the navy. The trouble reached a climax some time after midnight when a detachment of 500 police undertook to disperse a crowd of many thousands, gathered to hear perhaps a score of speakers de nounce the squandering of the money wrung from the people by literally crushing taxation. The throng showed fight. Again and again the police charged, . wield ing their sabres remorselessly. The rioters resisted with clubs and paving stones, torn from the streets where the battle raged. In the end the crowd was scattered, but not until a large number had been Injured, 200 were under arrest and scores of shop fronts in the vicinity had been demolished.
