RUSSIA BULLYING AGAIN
Tells China That She Must Recoa- nize MaenoIia-Fighting to Begin.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Picking. Two important develop ments intensified the situation in Pe- kng. There were a renewal of hos ulities and the demand of the Rus sian government that China recognize the independence of outer Mongolia. Revolutionaries from Shan Si and Shen Si, having captured the town of Shen Chow, are advancing on Ho-Nan, while reinforctments have been dis patched to the imperialists. The arm stce has not been renewed, and there is a dealock in the peace negotiations. so early fighting may be expected. In addition to requesting China to recog- nize the Kutuktu of Urga as monarch of outer Mongolia, the Russian gov ernment has notified China that the independence of outer Mongolia must be recognized as concerns internal affairs. The note adds that Russia will assist the Mongolians in main taining order and intends to build railway from Kiakhta, Siberia, to Ur- es'. iASiiS'iOl th, 1ilhd Will uOl De permitted to maintain military forces CT send eolonists to outer Mongolia, but may retain control of external re- lations. To this note China has made no reply. To the powers, however. the Chinese government communicates the substance of the Russian demands. Undoubtedly strong protest will be made by the Chinese government against the action of Russia, but China is unable to defend herself now

SECRETARY OF THE
 INTERIORS; REPORT
Many Recommendations for Public Land Improve
 mentS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-Enlarged application Of the leasing principle as applied to the public domain, especially a liberal leasing law for the development of the mineral resources of Alaska, par ticularly it's coal lands, and immedi- ate consideration by congress of the whole subject of water power develop ment and control, are the most inn portant recommendations contained in the annual report of Secretary of the
 Interior Fisher, just made public. A general overhauling of condition in Alaska is needed, the>secretary says. He fayors a law for the retirement of government employees, placing it on the ground of good business policy. He urges the creation of a bureau of national parks. There is also serious need, he declares, for the enlarge mines. The great public movement for the conservation of our national resources says Secretary Fisher is not in any way opposed 10 prompt and wise development Of the public do- main. The essential thing is to see that under the guise of settlement, We do not permit more exploitation, which in the last analysis retards both sediment and development" Many of the restrictive provisions which now irritate and hamper the bona tide settler and industrial pioneer, should be removed. he says. In re- spect to such leasing in Alaska, the secretary recommends that passage of a liberal, but carefully guarded leasing law for the development of ist mineral resources, and especially for its coal lands, Alaskas greatest resources are her minerals and in the devolpment of these, the precious met als still hold the predominant place

COMMISSIONERS DISCHARGED
Election Officials Are Acquitted on
 instructions From Judge.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Clarkesville.-After Prosecuting Att torney w. P. Strait had practically finished presenting the case of the state against C. c. Flake, election con- missioner of Johnson county, charged with filing a false certificate of the vote cast for state senator in John- son county in the election of 1910, Judge Hugh Basham took the case from the jury and instructed that verdict of not guilty be returned. The court took this action after it had dis covered several errors in the second indictment which was returned against the three commissioners. The errors occurred in the copy of the al- legged false certificate incorporated in the indictment. Because of these diff ferences the court refused to admit the certificates as evidence, and Prosecuting Attorney Strait announc- ed that he could go no further, as he had to rely upon this certificate for conviction. The attorneys for the de- fense then moved that the jury be instructed to find for the defendants, and Judge Basham granted the mo- tion. Following this action of the court, Prosecuting Attorney Strait prayed an appeal to the supreme court.
