BERLIN, August 6—Whenever Gen Xurt von Schieicher, minister of de- fense and power behind the Von Pa- pen chancelloship, has broken a horse 80 that it no longer shies or balks, he gets rid of it and buys another wild steed. Only unruly mounts interest i m Von Schleicher’s political friends and foes alfke see in this passion for “raw’ horses an explanation for his sudden rise in politics As conditions became worse, his in- terest in state affairs increased. He projected himself boldly into the dis- missal of the Heinrich Bruening cabi- net and he was busy when develop- ments led to the federal dictatorship in Prussia and martial law in Berlin Likes Excitement. ‘This appetite for excitement may be the key to a character that puszles even his closest friends. Although he “mixes” more than any other member of the government, nobody seems able really to fathom him. The former crown prince comes to have tea with him, but his friends deny that he is a monarchist. In the Reichstag lobby he is seen arm in arm with a Social Democratic leader, yet he insisted upon giving right of way to the Socialists’ most bitter ene- mies, Hitler's brown shirts. Hard Worker. One of his closest friends said that the general's political creed is “The state—and not any party.” | There is one thing upon which all who speak of him agree: He is inde- | fatigable both at work and at play. Av 8 oclock in the morning he | charges on a temperamental horse through the Tiergarten, Berlin's “Cen- tral Park.” From 10 am. until early afternoon he sees to it that things run smoothly at the ministry of defense. No matter how high may be the mountain of work von Schleicher manages to clear his desk. The afternoon is reserved for cabinet meetings and brief, crisp addresses to groups of officers. If he finds a leisure moment, he reads Shakespeare or Goethe. Every night is his “night out.” Usual- 1y at social affairs, the opera and the theater he is accompanied by his wife. Von Schleicher, who is 50 years old, was a bachelor until last year. Then he married a widowed cousin, nee Hen- nings von Treffenfeld. EX-EMPLOYE SOUGHT IN $500,000 BLAZE Incendiarism Suspected in Lumber Plant Damage at Iron Mountain, Mich. By the Assoclated Press. IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich., August 6. —A vindictive lumber worker, thrown out of employment when economic con- ditions forced a part time schedule at the Sawyer-Goodman Lumber Co. plant | at Sagola, 22 miles north of here, was sought last night, believed responsible for a $500,000 fire in the company’s yards.

The sheriff and J. E. Fries, State fire marshal, were investigating. C. A. Goodman, Marienette, Wis., head of the company, arrived in’ Sagols to aid in the inquiry. He said he re- cently received a letter threatening de- struction of the mill unless unemploy- ment_conditions improved. The mill, formerly employing 150 men, has cut its force to about 40.
