PORTO RICANS TURN TO
HAIR TONIC AS BEVERAGE.
BITS OF NEWS

San, Juan, June 3.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press).-
Hair tonic has leaped in favor as
drink in Ponce. In one week more
than 1850 bottles Of kind manu-
factured by a local firm under
formula registered with the insular
government was sold in that city.
The tonic, said to contain more than
90 per cent alcohol, is reported to
have been selling at IS cents a
drink, despite the fact that it con-
tains drugs which, although re-,
ported to be of benefit to the hair
when externally applied, are said to
be somewhat harmful to the system
when imbibed.
As the formula was registered
with the insular government by the
manufacturers, no legal action has
been taken against them but the
manufacture has been stopped and
the police have been endeavoring to
round up all the supplies of the hair
tsnic that can be found. 1t is re-
ported that about $4,000 bottles
have been shipped to Ponce during
the past few weeks, during which
the greater part has been recovered.

Although Mr.. Ringer affected to
desire an early investigation of At

against the police officers at the

first opportunity this morning he
was Oh his feet pleading for time.
Assisted by the mayor, the police

continuance of two weeks.

special police and mounted police
then paraded the affected area.
Police Use Batons Freely.
Missiles were thrown by the
crowd, the police retaliating by a
free use of their batons on the
heads of demonstrants.
At $50 p. m, the special police
had the situation we'll in hand and
calm was restored. A number Of
returned soldiers-constables and
demonstrants were severely bat
tered, and one special policeman was
seriously injured.
Mayor Charles F. Gray announced
he would not call out the troops to
quell the rioting. He said the spe-
cial constables would be able to
handle the situation.
Boo and Jeer Soldiers.
The trouble started when a few
demonstrants booed and jeered at
the returned soldiers special mount
ed constables, replacing the police
men who yesterday were dismissed
by the police commission. A large
crowd quickly gathered Suddenly
it surged into the street and attacked
the half-dozen special constables,
who piled their batoRs vigorously.
A large squad of special policemen
arrived and we're made the targets
for stones. bottles, sticks and other
missiles. The disturbances contln-
ued for nearly two hours and ended
after about 20 constables and an
equal number of demonstrants were
painfully but not seriously bruised
and cut.
The appearance of an additional
detail of 200 constables had a calm
ing effect on the crowd and the
rioting died down as suddenly as it
began.
