War Looms
In Germany
Rumors of Plots and Counter
Plots Thick in Berlin
Government Greatly
Worried.
Police Are Modified

Berlin, March 25.-The entire Prus-
sian police force. a small army OF 40
900 men, was modified Saturday by
Minister of the Interior Seyering
against threatening danger to the
constitution and the government.
The Prussian press Is an amazing
hodge. .podge of plot and counter-plot,
and the government is in veritabls
spasm OF alarm over the highly-coi-
ored pictures reflected in the press.
If these pictures are true. then the
Prussian and central German gov
ernments would seem TO be between
the devil and the deep sea. with the
communists and the socialists on one
side and the nationaiists on the other.
Plots and counter.plots reported IL
the newspapers tell Of the formation
>of ''proletarLan guards" mere and ma
tionalist shock troops there, as il the
hatred between the two extremes had
reached the stage where the people
are ready to forget the situation IN
the Ruhr and plunge INTO civil war
and fight out their differences behind
the passive resistance front present
cd TO the French in the occupied area.
Conditions Exaggerated.
Much OF this hectic description OF
conditions would seem 10 be greatly
exaggerated.
Herr severing. who Friday in ths
Prussian parliament lifted corner
OF what he declared to be the Vel
covering nationalistic plans for a
coup d'etat, but which N many
circles is not taken seriously. Satur-
day sprang another sensation BY
sending an alarm telegram 20 all pro-
vincial presidents as follows:
Because Of the threatening danger
from undertakings by radical eie-
nents issue orders that police every
where be held under intensive alarm
readiness. II It becomes necessary, L
expect energetic action"
While some Of the Berlin papers
assert that General Won Ludendorff
is the man behind Hitler. IN fact his
chief Of staff, others are equally posi-
tive that there is strong antagon-
ism between the two because Hitler
is against Chancellor Cuno, while
Ludendorr has been urging Germany
10 give its strongest support 20 the
chancellor.
Protest Action.
In Berlin the league Of patriotic
associations. comprising 15o assocla-
tions and groups, met under General
Won Der Goitz. reichs'sg deputy,
and Count westarp. and adopted reso-
iutions protesting against drastic ae-
ton ain-ed at nationalist groups and
passiYity towards the organization Of
red army formations.
In the re.chstsg the national party
protested against the suppression Of
the national freedom party. The Co
logne Gazette reports that communist
and prolefariSt green shirt" guards
are active IN various cities and towns
OF the Ruhr.

FREEMAN WILL
DISCONTINUED
Proponents of MetuChen Doc
tors Will Finish Their Case
Medical Testimony Next

NEW BRUNSWICK. June 16. -
W. S. Higgins, secretary of the East
ern Audit Company was the princi-
pal witness for the proponents at
the hearing of the DR.. Charles Man
ming Freeman will case before Judge
John P. kirkpatrick in the orphans
court yesterday.
On the witness stand, Higgins said
that he made the acquaintance of
DR.. freeman some fifteen years ago
and that in 1918 his company was
engaged to audit the books of the
Freeman company On several oc-
casions, the witness said he had been
entertained by the doctor who told
him that the Breen family was at
tempting to rob him. The doctor
told him of the bitter feeling towards
his wife. the witness said, because
she had committed him to insane
asylum. The doctor also told the
witness that he had called on W. A.
X. Davy TO satisfy a trust agreemen
which he had with the Breens. Mr..
Higgins also said that the doctor
spoke to him about the will in which
he favored Mohring but did not give
its contents to him.
The witness also identified a
rough draft of the will made by
Freeman as identical with the Free
man handwriting Higgins also was
of the opinion that the doctor was
/ sane when not under the influence
! OF liquor and he felt that the de-
+ ceased was capable of disposing OF
his estate. He said that he saw the
doctor two weeks before his death
and that the -'---e- ian was In about
the same condition as he has known
him. Mr.. Higgins further stated
+ that he had not seen Freeman under
/ the influence of liquor in the year
+ 1922 but saw him drunk on several
i occasions in years past.
Hugo Noack, a motorcycle police
man OF New York, testified He said
he met the doctor in 1922 and he
+ felt the man to be normal. He said
I the doctor asked him to visit boats
with him for the purpose of securing
some beer which was arranged.
Jane Freeman, sister Of the doc
tor, taking the stand contradicted
+ the previous testimony given by
Harry s. Mohring and his wife that
they had not seen the doctor drunk.
+ She said that Mohring and the doc
tor came to the home on one occa-
/ sion. the doctor being drunk then.
Sally Freeman. another sister, was
