CLASH AT CORINTH
BETWEEN RIOTERS AND TROOPS DISTRIBUTION OF EARTHQUAKE RELIEF (“Times” Cables.) (Rec. December 14, 7.45 p.m.) London, December 13. “The Times” Athens correspondent reports eleven casualties at Corinth during a collision between rioters and troops and police arising from earthquake public subscriptions for sufferers, from which was realised the sum of £150,000. The rioters demanded an immediate distribution. The Government claimed that temporary housing and other relief to all sufferers had been provided. It was therefore retaining the relief fund as the nucleus for a rebuilding fund. The agitators provoked a disturbance. A crowd of sufferers stoned the residences of- the relief committee, and refused to disperse. Troops were summoned. The police fired, and five rioters, four soldiers, a military officer and the police chief were wounded. The ringleaders were arrested and order has been restored.
