C. RENDING GERMAN THREATENS TODAHEVENTS Bavarian and Rhineland Separatist Plots Consummation Hourly Expected. HITLER DEFIES DICTATOR WITH AID OF VON KAHR Berlin Plans Economic War on May Be Proclaimed King. By Cable to The Star and New York Tribune. Copyright, 1923.

BERLIN, September the Ruhr situation still in a state of silmost hopeless confusion and the proclamation of a separate Rhineland republic scheduled to take place at Duesseldorf tomorrow, the struggle between the reich and Bavaria is rapidly moving toward a crisis today. Developments in the Bavarian situation point tonight toward an open break between Berlin and Munich I with all the consequences such a break is likely to entail. On the highest authority, the Tribune learns tiiat the reich is preparing for an economic war on Bavaria to force it to bow to federal authority. The test of strength came today When, despite Federal Dictator order prohibiting publication of Voelkische Beobachter, Adolph Hitler's organ, the Munich monarchist organ continued to be published because of the refusal of Dr. von Kahr, the Bavarian dictator, to carry out Herr orders.

Von Kahr carried his definance of Berlin still further. when, according to Munich dispatches, ho definitely set aside the federal law for protection of the republic. May Proclaim King. Two big monarchist demonstrations fire scheduled for tomorrow in Bavaria and rumors here tonight indicate that it would not bo surprising if Prince Rupprecht should be proclaimed king at one of these. Rupprecht himself is to appear at of the assemblies, which is to be held at Bey.

reuth. Marshal Ludendorff and Hither are also to appear at this meeting. With clear Indications that the Von Kahr and Hitler forces are reaching an understanding, and with the confiscation today by the Von Kahr dictatorship of the arms of all socialists and republicans in Bavaria, It' is becoming almost unmistakable that Dr. Von Kahr is moving rapidly toward a proclamation of a Bavarian monarchy. Little reliance can apparently be placed on the federal troops in Bavaria under Gen.

Lossow and scant hope is now entertained of bridging the Bavarian crisis without an open struggle. Berlin is accordingly working out a schedule of punitive measures. The first of these measures will be stoppage. of all trains rushing into Bavaria and cutting off of all supplies of coal and raw materials. This will be followed with Institution of a military cordon around the -whole of Bavaria, thus stiffening the effect of the proposed economic blockade.

Dlasolvea Defense Bodies. In unleashing the beginning of his campaign today Dr. von Kahr ordered all the socialist defense bodies that have been organized in Bavaria dissolved. A raid on the leading socialist paper of Munich, the Post, was conducted and arms which were kept there in the event of possible monarchist attacks were confiscated. Dr.

von organ, the Bayer- Ische Kurier, simultaneously came out with the first announcement that Bavaria does not Intend to follow the orders of the reich and that It considers itself definitely superior to the authority of the republic. Following this, the Bavarian dictator was Informed that he could count fully on organizations and troops in any struggle with Berlin. In the face of t'hese developments the Berlin press is strongly urging action on the government, while Verwaerts bluntly declares that if a decisive move is not made now the dissolution of the reich will be the result. Fear Monarchist Coop. The states of Saxonv and Thuringia, with their large worklngclass populations, are working together in close harmony in this crisis.

Communists in these inccs have apparently abandoned I any plans they may have had for a coup and are presenting a united front with the socialists to the monarchist menace. In Saxony the garrison towns on the Bavarian border have been reinforced with extra police and fully armed workers who have come forward as volunteers. 1 Considerable criticism is being voiced here at the inaction of Gen.

LOUIS FLYING FIELD, September number of Army and Navy special racing planes here for the international airplane races to being Monday probably will be put through final speed trials tomorrow if rain does not turn the soft field into a mud puddle. Late this afternoon a large crowd witnessed Lieut. S. W. Calloway of the naval air station at Anacostia "rub up" his little brilliant red Navy Wright fighter around the thirty-one mile course.

Lieut. Calloway did not give the ship the full throttle, but merely covered the one lap for the purpose of familiarizing himself with the surrounding country. The close unofficial time for the trip was nine minutes and forty-seven seconds. Only once did the little ship reach speed proportions way above the 200 mile mark and that was shortly after the take off. Lieut.

Calloway appeared at the north ind of the field; a red flash, a penetrating drone from the 100 horsepower motor, and he was gone. Darkama Stops Flights. Lieut. L. H.

Sanderson, Marine Corps, pilot of the other Navy Wright, was to have flown this evening, but clouds and darkness precluded the flight. He and the two Curtiss racer pilots, Lieut. Harold J. Brown ajid Lieut. A.

The Wrights today were fitted with three- 1 blade steel propellers. They have been cleaned and oiled, as have Curtiss ships, and there is nothing to do but wait. Work Is still being done on the two. veteran Curtiss racers of the Army, and. It is understood, they may be able to take the air tomorrow for final tests.

By the Associated Press. MANILA. September the inaular election only three days oIT, the most bitter political campaign in the Philippine Islands srlnce the United States assumed the administration of government here is drawing to a close. Feeling has reached a high pitch in both political camps and disorders are regarded as a possibility. Although Gov.

Gen. Leonard Wood does not look for serious disturbances. he and other government officials have made preparations to forestall or at least suppress any outbreaks. Broadly, the campaign issue is independence for the Philippine Islands. The democratic party favors continuance of American administration; the coalitionists, under the leadership of Manuel Quezon, are opposed to the administration.

The coalitionists frankly say the campaign has had the word "American" as a by-word of derision. Make Seditious Speeches. High government officials are known to regard many of the speeches as inflammatory' and seditious to the utmost limit possible without prosecution and believe the speakers counted on the tolerance of Americans and the American government to save them from being taken to task. One of the most bitter fights in the campaign has been waged about the question of expenditures from the million-peso Independence fund, which is controlled by coalitionist legislators. Members of the democrata party have made a determined effort to get authorization to examine disbursement vouchers.

To this end mandamus proceedings were brought in the Insular supreme court to force Gov. Gen. Wood to authorize the investigation. The supreme court has refused to sustain the petition. When the petition was filed the democratas called a meeting for today, but on hearing of the court's action they called the meeting off.

Bitter Feeling Renewed. Losing the court fight was the signal for a fresh outbreak of bitterness among the democratas. It is the opinion of government officials that- serious disturbances would result but for the presence of large forces of constabulary. In the provinces there Is apparently little Interest or excitement, but in IVTanila, feeling- is high. There are hundreds 'of students here who are known to be radical.

Governor General Wood does not feel that any of the attacks are directed at him personally, but that they are part of the effort to supplant American government, as outlined by the Jones law, with an administration controlled by the Insular legislature and dominated by Quezon and his group. Meanwhile, the governor general has reasserted his stand as keep unsullied the reputation and undlmlnlshed the sovereignty of the United States in Uiese RELATIONS CALLED TO BEDSIDE Condition of Former Xinister Becomes Alarming After Turn for Worse.

Thirteen defendants, facing stoically the most severe disciplining the United States Navy can mete out and without a single pleader of "not guilty" among them is the situation before the naval court of Inquiry here which is seeking to place the blame for the destroyer disaster on the Honda rocks three weeks ago. Like the finger of suspicion in a mystery drama, the hint of guilt has been in turn placed upon agencies ringing from Divine Providence to the judge advocate of the court itself.

Currents caused by deep sea earthquakes, faulty calculations at the Point Arguello signal station, the carelessness of this officer, the cocksuroness of that one have been blamed In turn. At no time during the Inquiry, since the defendant officers disregarded the advice of counsel and went upon the witness stand, has any one of them sought to shield himself or to evade responsibility for the wreck of. his own ship or division. Wntaon First to Speak. Capt.

Edward H. Watson, commander of the ill-fated squadron that lost twenty men and seven of the finest destroyers, was the first to come out openly In asserting his own responsibility. The other- twelve defendants followed his lead. Capt. Watson's attitude is typical.

It is becoming: more and more apparent every day that the country will have to wait for the first message to- Congress before It can fathom the depths of President mind on matters of the greater public Import. His past speeches and writings have told where the President stands on the wider subjects of Americanism, the Constitution and such like, but Mr. Coolidge still is keeping his own counsel on the more concrete issues of the day.

Efforts of political antagonists to i him have been frultj less.

The council has approved the entire scheme for the relief of the refugees, including their settlement on lands set apart by the Greek government, and Mr. Morgenthau will preside over what will be known as the settlement commission, which will work independently of the Greek government. He was asked to accent the position because of his experience in relief organization. Expect Loan In S.

It was made entirely clear by the speakers at the final session that the hope of the future was pinned largely on collaboration by the United States, whenever it could be obtained, the constructive plans of the league, even if the day never should come when America will be actually found among the members.

Dr. Cosme de la Torrtente of Cuba, president of the assembly, in an eloquent valedictory address took America from the subconscious thoughts of the delegates of the world organization and placed her in definite form before them by declaring that her aid was vastly Important for the future of mankind.

C. Commissioners to Open Appeal to Budget Bureau Wednesday. The District Commissioners expect to go before the budget bureau Wednesday to testify in support of the estimates of 132,000,000 for maintenance and development of the National Capital for the next fiscal year. It probably will require several days for the city executives to complete their pleadings in behalf of the many vital needs for which they have estimated. Commissioners Rudolph, Oyster and Bell will be accompanied to Gen.

office by Daniel J. Donovan, local budget officer. Heads of certain departments also may be called upon to give the budget officials detailed information on some of the more important projects. Make-Up of Budget. The total is made up of regular estimates amounting to $25,144,882 and supplemental estimates totaling $7,103,084.

At the budget bureau hearings the Commissioners will concentrate their efforts on convincing Gen. Lord that the supplemental items asked for are needed if the taxpayers are to be given such necessities of city life as sewer connections, water service, paved streets, school buildings and adequate police and fire protection. Although the budget office decided two months ago that the District tlmates for next year would have to be cut to $25,000,000, the heads of the local government are confident that Gen. Lord will give earnest consideration to the plea for a larger allowance. Stlated During War.

One city official advanced this argument yesterday: "It is not generally realized that during the war, when most of the federal departments necessarily had to have enlarged appropriations, the local government was restricted in appropriations because municipal Improvements were properly regarded as non-essential. That situation. however, resulted In the city falling behind In its program of street pav- Ingr and similar works. Unless larger appropriations are granted now the District will be many years in catching up." The Commissioners have pointed out that if the next appropriation act is kept down to the $25,000,000 limit there will be only nominal sums available next year for new work. Maj.

Donovan has shown that, after making allowance for trust and special funds, tho total allowance for appropriations proper, would be only $23,877,920 if the supplemental estimates are not granted. Among the more important items on the supplemental list, and for which the Commissioners will make a strong plea, are the following: For additional school buildings, about for improving the street lighting system, for preparation of plans and specifications for rebuilding the Washington channel ater front, approximately $12,000. Practically all of thfe proposed street paving Jobe, sewer projects and water mains that were eliminated from the regular estimates are in the supplemental. FLEET LEAVES CORFU.

OYSTER AND HAYNES IN DISCUSSIONS SINCE MAY Story Yet to Be Broken, and City Will Be Says Inside Observer.

Predictions that sweeping countercharges against police co-operating in the enforcement of prohibition would be made during the investigation by the special intelligence unit of the internal revenue force into complaints filed by Commissioner Oyster against three prohibition agents, was made last night by persons close to the prohibition enforcement administration. During next week, with the filing of such charges, it is expected the smoldering disagreement between the prohibition unit and the police department will come to a head. It, was learned yesterday that since last May Commissioner Oyster has been in communication with Prohibition Commissioner Haynes regarding the lack of co-operation in the en- forcement of the prohibition law in Washington. At that time arrangements for the Shrine convention were being made, and the District Commissioner called upon Commissioner Haynes for betterment of conditions. Exchange of From that time to the present there has been a constant, but unsatisfactory interchange of ideas between Mr.

Oyster and Mr. Haynes. Several times Commissioner Oyster has called the attention of the prohibition unit to certain procedure in the enforcement of prohibition in the District of Columbia. Results were not as expected. The culmination of this interchange, which lasted for months, came during the last week, when Commissioner presented certain demands upon Commissioner Haynes, handing aver complaints supported by copies of affidavits and naming a time limit for action.

Had Prohibition Commissioner Haynes not come forward with the announcement of an investigation last' Friday, the statement was made, the data in the hands of Commissioned Oyster would have been made public. A number of conferences were held. Friday a week ago marked the final cne. At this conference representatives of the police department and representatives of the prohibition unit were present to hear the story which Lieut. Davis, in charge of the vice squad, had to tell.

Two notaries public were there to handle the affidavit-making. Then came another hiatus. Haynes Announces Probe. The time limit would have expired last Friday night. In the afternoon, however, Commissioner Haynes came forward with tho statement that he had started a searching inquiry, and later he amplified this statement by another announcing the special intelligence unit of the Internal revenue bureau as the Investigating body.

Supporting the reports that countercharges of a serious and spectacular nature are In the air was the request of Commissioner Haynes to Commissioner Oyster to conduct a joint investigation Into both the police and prohibition unit enforcement of the dry law in the District. Commissioner Oyster admitted the foregoing yesterday. When asked what action he had taken upon this request he said he turned it down definitely. The agreement which was finally reached between Commissioners Haynes and Oyster was to the effect that in case there were charges against the police, they were to be put in writing and forwarded to the District Commissioner for such action as he might deem fit under the premises. This was definitely stated in the official statement of Commissioner Haynes Friday.

He referred to countercharges against the police. Notification that prohibition agents Ralph Ruby, Clark H.

The men will continue on full pay pending the investigation of the special intelligence unit of the internal revenue bureau into chargee of irregularity of procedure and malfeasance of office, filed by Commissioner Oyster, based on reports made by the police it was learned last night. They retain their equipment and badges and will report at headquarters daily. The letter handed to each agent reads follows: "Effective immediately, you are relieved from duty in the District of further notice and will hold yourself available for examination and interview by agent of the special intelligence E.
