FOURTH GOVERNMENT
COMES IN SIBERIA
SLOVAKS SEEK TO RULE AND
SEND AID TO ALLIES
IN FRANCE.

London, June 15.-The Czecho-
Slovak troops operating against the
Russian soviet government in 81
IBERIA and the Ural region continued
their success, according to Ex
change Telegraph dispatch from
Moscow dated June II. During the
ninth and tenth of June, having oc-
cupied Samara, they advanced rap
idly toward Cutfa.
On the Siberian railroad from
Tcheliabnsk to Tomsk Ca distance
OF 1880 miles, all the towns are in
the hands of the Czecho-Slovaks.
Omsk was occupied on June 8 by a
united force OF Slavs and Cossack
peasants under command of Colonel
lvanoff the Soviet forces having re-
tired from Omsk and Tunen.
Moscow, Friday, June 1.-The
Czecho-Slovak troops in their oper-
ations along the Rvs railways con-
Meeting Siberia with central Russia
have temporarily cut off communi-
cation between the Siberian grain
stores and Moscow and Petrograd,
seriously menacing the bread ra-
tions, which already are inadequate.
The Czecho-Slovaks now control
the stations of Omsk and Novo
Nicholaevsk, and Tcheliabinsk and
also many smaller stations. If sue
cessful they are able to prevent
traffic from the Siberian granaries
to both Moscow and Petrograd.
AT Novo Nicholaevisk, which is
the nearest large city east of Omsk,
the Czcho-Slavs joined with the
White Guard in overthrowing the
and have established what
they call new Siberian central gov
ernment, which is the fourth gov
ernment now claiming control in
Siberia.
The bolshevik government has
sent emissaries to negotiate with |
the Czecho-Slovak officers and /
hopes to arbitrate the disputes
growing out of the attempt to dis
arm the Czecho- -Slovaks, who insist
that they must be given the right TO
pass through Siberia to Vladivostok

France.

BIC CROWD At
LANDERS HEARING
WOMAN CHARGED WITH
DOUBLE MURDER AR
RAIGNED TODAY.
WAIVED PRE- N IN A RY
Largest Crowd That Ever Assem-
bled in Carter County Courthouse
Attracted to Hearing-No Effort
Made to Secure Release on Bond.

The preliminary hearing of Mrs.
Ida Landers, charged in two cases
with murder, had been set for 10
o'clock this morning before Judge
Thomas w. Champion, in the coun-
ty court. When the time arrived
for the hearing the defendant waiv-
ed arraignment, entered a plea OF
not guilty and waived a preliminary
trial. Judge Champion then held
her, without bail, for trial in the
district court. This order was en-
tered in both the cases pending
against her. In one she is charged
with the murder of her former hus-
land, w. R. Landers, and in the
other she is charged with the muir
der Of {. I. Landers, the aged faith
er of w. R. Landers.
The defendant in court this fore
noon exhibited no evidence of ex-
ctement or perturbation and talked
freely with her attorney and the Of
ficers She is very small woman,
of very dark complexion and black
hair. She made no request that she
be admitted to bail, it being under
stood by the attorneys and court
officials that she could not secure
bond in the sum that would prob
ably be required in a case of this
kind, provided it should be granted
at all. A special term of the dis
trict court for Carter county has
been called to begin Monday, July
!, and the TWO cases against her
will undoubtedly be set for trial at
that term.
Big Crowd In Attendance.
Never since the Carter county
courthouse was built has such a
crowd appeared in the county court
room as was there this forenoon.
Every seat was taken long before
the hour set for the hearing and
the people continued to crowd in
until not only were all the aisles
illled by persons standing, Dul
scores crowded in between the rows
of seats, cutting off the view of
those who were sitting. The great
majority of those present were wom-
en-. There were many young girls
in the crowd and dozen boys,
probably not one of them more
than II years of age, were in the
front part of the courtroom and
crowded about the defendant while
the sheriff was waiting with her for
the crowd to get out of the room.
When the crowd started to work its
way out it was met by almost an
equal number trying to get up the
stairway leading to the third floor
of the building. There has been
no murder committed here in the
last six months that has attracted
nearly the attention this one has.

London, June l5.-American SOL
diers are more than match for
the Germans in the opinion OF
Reuters correspondent with the
American forces in France, who has
been with the Americans for the
past month.
Whenever the Germans meet the
Americans, he says, the Germans
have been beaten.
MY IMPRESSION" he adds, "is
that the Germans will find in their
new foes men more resembling our
Dominion soldiers than the home
born Tommy. They are full of ten

not have mercy on men who do not
fight straight, and will avenge
comrades slain by treachery to the
utmost platoon"
Remarking how quickly the Amer
leans are learning by experience, the
correspondent continues:
There is plainly much to be ex-
pected from the American army,
and it must be said with insistence,
we want lot of them. Secretary
Baker has promised a million soon.
That is good. but a million goes a
wonderous small way out here. We
want that million doubled as soon
as possible. A million soon will be
worth many millions later"
Referring TO the large infusion of
Americans OF German descent, the
correspondent says that they make
good soldiers.
