BERLIN STILL IN TERROR
SPARTACAN POLICE CHIEF IS
BLAMED WITH TROUBLE.

London.-The elimination of Eichhorn,
the %Spartacan police chief, whose refusal
to resign led to the present trouble in
Berlin, may be an accomplished fact. A
Zurich report received here says that he
has fled from Berlin, while a report from
Frankfort says that Herr Richler, a mu-
nicipal councillor and a majority So
%cialist, has been appointed temporary
head of the Berlin police. Other reports
from Berlin say that the government
has been able to operate a few trains on
the main railroad lines.
At a critical moment in the fighting
Thursday, according to Berlin advices by
way of Frankfort, the corps of repub-
lican guards which had been supporting
Eichhorn, the Spartacan police chief, de-
serted him. Fourteen companies, num-
bering 5000 men, placed themselves at
the disposal of the government, whose
then were pouring into the city
to the number of between 10000 and
each carrying fifty rounds of ball
cartridges. The occupation of the Of
of the Red Flag by the government
is a greater blow to. the Spartacans
than appeared on the surface.
