SCENES IN DIET

Berlin. Jan. 20 (By A. P.)-Fol-
lowing a sensational session of the
diet today and a subsequent caucus
of the Socialists. Democrats and
Centrists, the Prussian ministry,
headed by Herr Won Braun, resigned.
The diet adjourned until Feb. 3.
Earlier in the day almost riotous
scenes occurred in the legislative
body when the government came
within a narrow margin of being
forced out by an explicit declaration
of lack of confidence by more than
half the total number of deputies.A
vote on a motion of no confidence
resulted in a tie of 221 to 22l and
225 votes were required by the Prus-
sian constitution to defeat the gov
eminent.
A great uproar followed the an
noCncement of the tie vote, such an
occurrence being unprecedented in
the diet. Motions of confidence
In Premier Brau and Miisters of the
interior and commerce, Herr Sever
ing and SierinG, were then adopted

inadequate.
Finally an ironical Nationalist mo-
ton of confidence in the government
resulted in no one voting for" but
223 casting their ballots against" as
the government parties abstained.
Accordingly. the house was declared
to without Unnecessary quorum.
Fresh tumuit arose when the So
cialists and Communists began shal1-
ing their fists at each other. Then
a Communistdeputy seized the pres
ident's bell and made a terrible din,
