BURG0ME|STER PUTS
STOP TO EMPER0R'S
DESIRE FOR SECRECY
(By Associated Press)


DOORN, England, Dec. 26.-The bur
gomeister of Doom has halted, at least
temporarily, the erection of a high
fence along the roadside about the
house of Doom, the future residence
Of the former German Emperor. There
is no wall about the estate, such as
at the Bentinck castle at Amerongen,
the present home of William Hohen-
zollern.
It was found, however, that the
fence encroached on public highway
and, for this reason, the burgomeister
orders its construction stopped.
The former monarch is expected to
take up his residence here in February.
The work of remodeling Is well under
way as the house has been vacated by
the Baroness Won Heemstra de Beau
fort, its former owner. A new central
heating plant is to be built; the farm
house is being refitted as a residence
for the former Emperor's staff, with
accommodations for 16 and the house
Of the gardener will be arranged as an
administrative office. Most Of the EN-.
ployes who worked for the Baroness
van Heemstra have been employed by
Count Hohenzollern.
Because Of the cold weather lately
the former Emperor has made few
visits to his new home, but he is In
close touch with those in charge of the
repair work and receives frequent re
ports Of it's progress.
