WOMEN FIRED ON.
MOORS PROTEST.
Heartless Actios of Guards
In Morocco.
RULE BT MACHINE-GUNS
(Received 2.30 p.an.) GIBRALTAR, November 14. Guards at the Spanish Commissioner's office at Tetuan are reported to have fired on a crowd of elderly Moors, with women and children, carrying placards refusing to allow their young menfolk to go to Spain because so many went under broken promises, and many of them have not returned.
The firing killed several of the Moors, 50 of whom were arrested. Their ringleaders were shot. Skirmishes occurred all day between armed tribesmen entering from the desert and Phalangists patrolling the streets with machine-guns. Frontier guards stopped European residents who were fleeing to Tangier.
