Frederick William, former Crown
Prince Of Germany, has broken
his parole, escaped from Holland,
and is said to have made his way
into Germany.
Peace conference circles in Paris
were stirred by the news OF the
ex-Crown Princes fight, particu-
lar significance being attached to
the incident because of the pre-
vailing disorders in Germany.
circles in Washington
consider that Frederick Williams
escape resulted from assurances
of the conservative and military
elements in Germany that coup
detat was in contemplation for
the restoration of the HohenzoI-
lern monarchy.
1t is revealed that confidential re-
ports that the ex-Crown Prince,
and possibly the former Emperor,
might attempt to flee into Ger
many were received in Washing
ton recently.
Military circles in Berlin, where
many streets are barricaded and
disorders are reported to be in
creasing, are said to plan a coun-
ter revolutionary movement as
soon as a Communist revolt is
begun.
Communists and Spartacides have
overcome government troops in
Hamburg after riots in which 1876
persons were killed and the city
plundered.
An effort is being made by the
rebels, who are in complete con-
troll, to establish a soviet govern
ment.
Philip Scheidemann, former Ger-'
man Chancellor, is in Switzer-
land where he is said to have
fed in fear Of Assassination.

Garvan, chat conditions are quite
serious throughout the country.
We are asking $2,O0O,00O, and we have
every reason to believe the Russian
Bolsheviki are pouring money in here
at the rate of that much a month"
Mr.. Garvan was asked specifically
whether there was an organized effort
to destroy the Federal government, to
which question he replied:
"Certainly We have evidence to
show that, and that is also shown by
the tremendous amount of money they
are spending. The condition is seri-

Mr.. Garvan urged the funds for de-

They Are Given Part of 1t
Prisoner Sits in His Cell
and Chats With Jail Off
cials During Long Wait

MINEOLA, L. l., June 27.-At 2:30
this morning the jury that received
the case of DR.. Walter Keene Wilkins
at 5:15 last evening was still out.
The twelve men with whom the fate
of the alleged wife murderer rests
debated until 1O:45, and then returned
to the courtroom, several of them con-
siderably perturbcd, with the request
that all the testimony given by the
physician be read to them
They were informed that this would
take at least five hours, and then mod
ified their request SO that it applied
only to testimony dealing with his en-
counter with the burglars in his home
and his flight to Baltimore.
They also asked that Justice David
F. Manning repeat that portion Of his
charge dealing with circumstantial evi.
dencc
Joel Hayden, juror No. 10, who ap-
peared somewhat agitated, asked the
court if he might repeat what had been
said in the jury room. Justice Man
ming said he couldn't.
1t was also asked whether the first
will of Mrs. Wilkins was valid, and the
jurors were told that the court was not
prepared to discuss it's validity.
The Will Read Again
Testimony of detectives and others
relating both to the fight of DR.. Viii.
kins and the will was read at the re-
quest of the jury, who retired to the
jury room again at 12:40 this morning.
In his cell, the white bearded physi
clan ate a hearty supper, then chattec
composedly with officials Of the Jail.
"Whatever happens, l hope it won't
be hung jury" he said.
He seemed especially concerned about
the shrubbery and trees about his home
at Long Beach, where Mrs. Wilkins was
slain. He spoke Of the care they needed
and his fear that they were not getting
it, and was particularly worried ove1
a ounce and a pear tree that are his
special favo:ites.
Given to Jury at 5:15
The jury left the courtroom immedi
ately after Justice Manning delivered
the charge.
Throughout the afternoon Dr. Will
kins fidgeted and squirmed under the
attack of the District Attorney in sum
| ming up. He grew pale and dull-eyee
as Justice Manning defined in detail
what constituted murder in the frs
degree, murder in the second degree
and manslaughtcr.
The court was crowded, but less in
terest was exhibited than when the
defendant was on the stand. The sum
ming up for the defence took three
hours and the case for the prosecution
little more than two.
"What the defendant was entitled
to and what we have endeavored tt
give him was a fair trial." said Justice
Manning, in his charge. "He stands
here as a person accused of crime.
"Although the defendant is charged
with murder in the first degree yol
are not obliged to convict him in tn.
first degree In criminal case tn,
burden of proof never shifts. 1t rests
on the people and must be proved be
yond a reasonable doubt"
The jury visited the Long Beacf
home in the early morning and wen
carefully over it from attic to cellar
Geraniums and roses bloomed arount
the house in contrast with its bleal
aspect on the night of the murder
committed four months ago to-day.

PARIS, June 26 (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-Dr. Hermann Muel-
ler, the German Foreign Minister, and
DR.. Johannes Bell, Minister of Colonies,
who have been selected to sign the
peace treaty, will arrive at Versailles
Saturday, morning, The Havas Agency
learns. DR.. Mueller and Dr. Bell are
leaving Berlin tonight by the ordinary
train.
Efforts we're being made to-day to
arrange for the signing of the peace
treaty at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The council of three apparently is
satisfied with the semi-offcial assur-
ances that the Germans would be on
hand
Mueller to Head Enjoys
The first unofficial intimation re-
ceived to-day was that the German
signatories probably would be Herr
Mueller, Herr Giesberts and Herr Lei
merit, of the old delegation. 1t developed
later that Herr Giesberts, who had
remained in Versailles for a time, had
left there for Germany Then came
the statement that DR.. Bell he'd been
named to accompany Herr Mueller, and
it was inferred that they and Herr
Leinert would sign the treaty.
Disappointment over what is termed
the apparent weakness of the present
German government is not concealed
in peace conference circles, and the
feeling has been expressed that the
signing of this peace treaty may mean
little more than the signing by the Boil
shevki at Brest-Litovsk did.
The defiant tone of the German note,
which grudgngly agreed to sign the
treaty without reservations, created an
unfavorable impression on members of
the various delegations, according to
statements made to-day, and this SEEM
ingly has been intensified by the delay
of the Germans in arranging for the
carrying out of their promises.
May Delay Ratification
The peace treaty contains no pro-
vision as to when they must ratify, con-
sequently delay in ratification may
cause the peace conference additional
annoyance, although it is generally
agreed by the delegates that enforce
mcnt of the reparations clause need
not be delayed until there is ratifica-
ton by the Germans.
Throughout yesterday, Premier
Bauer, at Berlin, kept Dr. Haniel Won
Haimhausen informed regarding the
difficulties of selecting the delegation
for the signing of the treaty, says
"The Petit Parisien" correspondent
at Versailles. The Cabinet met no less
than three times, the members of the
old mission headed by Count Won
Brockd dorff- Rantzau and the members
Of the Scheidemann Cabinet, who re-
Gently retired, also being present. 1t
was desired to select a delegation of
eight members, the advices stated, but
only three were obtained.
Allies Planned Ultimatum
1t was understood earlier in the day
that e no official communication was
received by nightfall from Berlin
relative to the plans Of the German
government for signing the treaty
something in the nature Of an ultima
tum will be sent to Berlin by the peace
conference.
Up until 1l:25 o'clock this morning

Finds Presidents
 Condition Good

Washington, Dec. 6.-Dr. F. K Dersum, the Philadelphia neurolo- gist, made his weekly visit to the white house today. He said he found President Wilson's condition good but that he would not give out a statement as planned as Senator Fall of New Mexico, who conferred with the president yesterday, had done that for him.
 The president transacted some of ficial business including the signing of a number of pardon warrants and bill to increase the pay of the po- lice n the District of Columbia.
 In signing the measures, the pres ident used an indelible pencil because of the difficulty of using the pen in a reclining position. This was the first time in the history of the na- tion, it was said, that the official document in parchment had not been signed with ink.

he's familiar with "past performaa- ces" in this line.
 Some humorous incidents occur in connection with the issuance of lie ense to wed. As for instance when a colored man approached MT. Bar row explained in apprehensive man her that he desired license to wed, but didn't know whether he could get it. Well, why do you think you can't get license," Mir. Barrow asked. "Som O tn folk in mah neighbor- hood sa An cain't. They say a man cain't marry mon six times, and An dun bin mahried six times" He got license for his seventh matrimonial venture when the deputy clerk had convinced himself that the applicant had been duly widowed-sod and grass.
 Frequently, the applicants for license forget the name of their pros pective brides. This happened the other day. and when the applicant re- marked "Well, if An ain't done gone and forgit the name of dat 'oman," hls best man recalled: Oats jus de way An done when An got mah secon' license"
