OUSTED REICH.
MINISTERS
PROTEST.
Dictator Won Pap3n Told His
Coup Unconstitutional;
More Socialists Out

BERLIN, July 81 (I.N.S.).
Evading military police set to
watch them, six Prussian
ministers, deposed by the Reich
chancellor, Franz Won Papen,
when he established a dicator-
ship yesterday, met secretly at
the home of DR.. Hirtsiefer,
minister of public welfare, to-
day and challenged Won
Papen'S action.
They addressed an open letter
to. Won Papen, declaring his ac'
ton unconstitutional and against
the wishes of the majority of
the citizens. not only of Prussia
but of the German Republic.
A new decree. issued early this
afternoon threatens the. immedi-
ate arrest without warrant of all
persons suspected" of carrying
arms or concealing ammunition.
More Socialists Out
Won Papen also issued an edict
removing from office the Socialist
governors of the ,Prussian prov.
inces of Silesia, Schleswig- -Hol-
stein and Hessen Nassau.
Clothed with greater powers
than were ever welded by the
Kaiser, Chancellor Won Papen
was in complete control of the
situation, while behind him loomed
the grim figure of Gen. Kurt Won
Schleicher, the minister of de-
fense, ready to hurl the regular
troops of the Reichewhr into
action at the first sign of resis-
tance.
The opposition had collapsed
overnight, however. The former
Prussian cabinet had yielded to
the Reich government at every
point.
Even Carl Severing, stern min
lister of the interior, who had
shaken his fist at Won Papen
yesterday and declared he would
yield "only to brutal force" had
departed from his office, which
had Immediately been taken over
by DR.. Franz Bracht, the pleni-
potentiary of Won Papen.
Employees OuSted
Lights burned all night in the
offices formerly occupied by Of
ficials of the Prussian govern
ment. These were gone, being
replaced as rapidly as possibly by
appointees of the Reich.

ANN HARDING AND

TO Get DIVORCE

HOLLYWOOD March "a. UP
The familiar Hollywood custom Of
dubbing a comparatively unsuc-
ceSSful actor as the husband OF. "

today had broken up another Of
the screens ideal romances.

national fame in films, ana Harry
Bannister. who registered only

Back Of their decision, they let
it be known, was Hollywood's in
sistence of speaking OF Bannistef
as Mr.. Ann Harding
Other film marriages have been
ended by this custom of playfully
but caustically pointing out the
husbands lesser importance but
never has a couple been so candid
IN admitting it.
To the office of the United Press
came a note signed by Miss Hard
ing's own hand. 1t read in part:
I'VE are getting a divorce be-
cause during our three years in the
motion picture industry we have
been placed in q position which is
Harry is gradually
losing his identity as Ann Hard
ingS husband
The note concluded that they
had reached a decision that their
only course was to separate so that
Bannister could win back his posi-
tion in the theatre before this
situation in pictures
has a chance to reach us and de-
stroy the love and respect we have
for each other"
A note from Bannister confirmed
that written by Miss Harding.
