Wife Intends to Take Him Into Vii
lage-COurt Physician to Depart
DOORN, Holland, Dec / (Associated
Press The first change in the former
kaisers household since Princess Her
mine took over the reins is the departure
Of Count Won Mollle. the court marshal.
The new empress has signifed her in
tention of instituting a regime which will
be directly opposed to the policies of Won
Mollle
The dispute between Princess Hermine
and the retiring marshal is said to have
arisen over the question Of whether the
kaiser should confine himself to Doom
castle. The former emperors bride IA
vored more freedom of movement for her
husband but this was contrary to the
wishes of Won NIoIke, who is regarded as
responsible for the virtual Imprisonment
of Wilhelm within the garden walls.
Princess Hermine and her youngest
daughter take all walks outside the
castle grounds and she has appeared sew
eral times in the town of Doom. The
kaiser has been frequently seen with her
in parts of the grounds and it is expected
that she will soon prevail upon him to
accompany her on trips to the village.
Another change in the household
regime that is probably traceable to
Princess Hermine's influence is the pros
pective departure of DIR. Haechner, the
court physician. who soon leaves the
castle to take up his private practice in
Amsterdam.
The new mistress of Doom castle chats
freely with all sorts Of people during her
daily walks and is evidently desirous of
making friends. She already is gaining
popularity among the toWnSpeOple of
Doom and many children Of the village
were guests at a recent party given in
honor of her daughters fourth birthday.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. /. 1922. (Asso-
ciated Press. Federal troops guarded
a badly battered municipal building to-
day while the city counted the casualties
of pitched battle between the police and
a mob which attempted to storm the
building last night The death list as n
result of the fighting stood at il early to-
day, while IS persons are known to have
been seriously injured and 80 slightly
hurt. 1t was thought that closer check
might reveal further casualties.
The city. after night of wild excite
ment, found its main plaza before the
municipal building Il shambles of broken
glass. timbers and stone-evidence of the
anger of the mob which forced its way
into the building half an hour after the
police rifles had taken their toll.
The trouble which lasted for more
than six hours, started when a crowd
marched to the city hall to protest against
the aldermen who are held responsible for
conditions leading to the water famine
The demonstration was intended by the
labor unions that organized it as a peace
full protest. and several hundred persons
paraded the down town streets before pro-
ceeding to the hall TO voice their adverse
sentiment against the city government
These protestants were reinforced along
the route and when the municipal build
ing was reached the crowd numbered
more than 1000 persons.
Yelling invectives against the alder
men, the mob gave emphasis to its words
by hurlng stones and other missiles.
When one leader suggested that the hall
be entered the demonstrators made a
concerted rush forward. The police
guards met their advance by firing their
rifles over the heads of the crowd, which.
however, did not check its course. When
it became apparent that the mob would
enter the building despite the police the
latter aimed their rifles point blank and
fired with deadly effect.
Staggered by bullets the demonstrators
retired carrying with them their dead and
injured.
But in half an hour they returned and
several of their number, breaking win
dows, entered the hall and began to set
fire to its contents. Valuable documents.
some of which dated back several cen
turtles, were tossed into the streets and
the city records We're given to the winds.
By this, time. the federal troops had ar
rived. but the intruders were not elected
before the building had been fired ID
many places and the furniture wrecked.
