A solution to the Yoko. hama death riddle-aris- ing from the discovery in the harbour of the body of Mr. Alfred Copp, a British accountant—is believed to have been found.

Deductions from the circum- stances are that Mr. Copp shot himself whilst standing on the seo-wall and that his body fell into the water carrying the pistol with it.
EVIDENCE OF WATCH.
This interpretation seems also to be borne out by the fact that death apparently occurred within ten minutes of his leaving his hotel, if not before. It transpires that he left the Now Grand Hotel ut 12.45 a.m. The watch on his wrist had stopped at 12.55, in- dicating that he fell into the water within ten minutes of leaving.

Extraordinary scenes were witnessed in the heart of Paris to-night when grave rioting occurred in the vicinity of the Chamber of Deputies, arising from demonstrations in con- nexion with the Stawisky bond fraud scandals.
Thousands of people joined in the demons- trations, and turbulent scenes were witnessed despite the mass of police rushed to the Parlia- mentary buildings.
The crowds tried to smash their way through the police cordon and refused to disperse despite repeated police charges in which many people were seriously injured.
