PARIS, January 27.-The CEN
ter of Paris was a scene of wild
turmoil tonight as infuriated
Royalists rioted against thousands
of massed police.
Elaborate precautions had been
taken against a repetition of
earlier anti-government demon
strations, but the Monarchists,
shouting invective and swinging
chairs, repeatedly arged
through lines of mounted and
foot officers.
The hours-long battle followed
the resignation of Premier Ca
mile Chautemps' cabinet, against
whose alleged part in the $4O,-
100000 Stavisky pawnshop scan
dal the Royalists have staged
frequent demonstrations in re-
cent weeks.
Down with ChautempS!" was
the rallying cry of hundreds of
rioters who time and again
smashed into the ranks of au-
thorities welding any weapon
that came to hand.
Flares Thrown at Officers.
Ranks of the bluecoats we're broken
as groups of so to 100 men struggled
throughout the spacious Place de
L'Opera and near the Cafe de la Paix.
Magnesium flares we're thrown at the
mounted officers, whose horses, panic
stricken, reared and plunged.
Up to 9 pm. the demonstrators had
charged four times despite repeated
police onslaughts.
Every available policeman was on
duty Firemen and guards aided in the
battle. Three blocks of helmeted po-
Hcemen were stationed around the
place.
At the Cafe de la Paix the Monarch
lists seized chairs and smashed them
over the heads Of the police. Blood
flowed freely
Mounted policemen rode again and
again into the mob, but the battles
were quieted only temporarily, to be
resumed more flercely in nearby
quarter.
Authorities smashed right and left
with clubs. Firemen attached their
hoses inside the opera while police
guarded them from attacks Then
streams of water were poured upon the
mob.
Streets leading to the place were
barricaded with big police busses and
patrol wagons. but the RoyallStS
smashed into them successfully.
Received Votes of Confidence.
NJ. Chautemps. harried in the Cham
Der of Deputies debates over the pawn
show collapse and embarrassed by the
riots over charges of financial corrup-
ton, decided to throw up the sponge
and let some one else, probably former
Premier Herriot, try to calm the public
tempest.
He wished good luck to the man
who takes this difficult job" upon leav-
ing the Elysee Palace, where he sub
nnitted his ministry's resignation to
President Lebrun.
The Chamber and the Senate re-
peatedly gave the government votes OF
confidence so it could cauterlze the
official running sores" but the public
refused to accept the parliamentary de-
cision.
Chautemps accepted the resignation
of Minister of Justice Raynaldy this
morning as a lastminute effort to
show that he intended to rid his cab
met of those upon whom suspicion had
fallen in connection with the StaVlsky
fiasco.
President Lebrun Immediately asked
Chautemps, as matter OF FORM to
head new ministry, but the premier
declined.
The cabinets downfall was the
fourth in year.
Custom requires that the President
