SERIOUS RIOTS OCCUR IN EGYPT.
NAHAS PASHA’S CAR CHARGES POUCE CORDON
(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received July 9, 12.15 p.m.)
CAIRO, July 8. Six were killed and forty-six injured in a riot at Mansourah during the visit of Nahas Pasha, whose car, to which thirty students were clinging, charged through the police cordon.
The car drove on until it encountered the supporting military cordon with fixed bayonets. The mob attacked the troops with a fusilade of stones and brickbats.
Fighting later broke out in the house where Nahas was lunching. Two police were killed and twenty-eight injured. The mob attempted to hang a policeman with a wire noose from a window, but the wire broke. Finally mounted troops charged and dispersed the crowds.
Nahas Pasha resigned with his Cabinet recently when King Fuad refused to sign certain Bills giving the Prime Minister greater powers. Nahas Pasha has since been touring the country campaigning against the present Administration.
