Paris, Jan. 11,

Extraordinary scenes were witnessed in the heart of Paris to-night when grave rioting occurred in the vicinity of the Chamber of Deputios, arising from demonstrations in con- noxion 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.
