RIOTS IN CAIRO
THREE HOURS’ STREET FIGHTING
POLICE FIRE ON MOB
(United Frees Association —By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright)
(Received 30th January, 1.20 p.m.) CAIRO, 29th January. During three hours’ street fighting the police tried out a new device against students known as an “ink sprinkler,” by which the rioters were sprayed with harmless coloured liquid front a tank, the idea being to render the leaders easily identifiable. The device proved ineffective in checking the students’ attempt to re-enter the Sheiks’ Training College, which had been temporarily closed, upon which the police fired. Fifty or sixty students received pellet wounds and twenty police were injured.
