THREE RUSSIAN
CITIES PROTEST
ACTION OF CHINA

PEKIN. China.-The three Rus
sian communities heretofore enjoy
ing extra-territorial privileges in
Tientsin, Shanghai and. Hankow, have
lodged protests with the diplomatic
body in Picking against the taking
over by the Chinese government of
jurisdiction in the Russian conces-
sions in those cities in pursuance of
the decree of September % (by which
China severed relations with the le-
cation representing the government
of the late Russian emperor, Mich
olas).
The protest from Shanghai is sign
ed by the Russian Chamber of Com
Committee of the Russian AS
sembly, the Russian Volunteer Fleet,
and long list of firms and individ-
uais. 1t declares that the signers
recognize in the declaration of the
Chinese government a menace to our
immediate material interests as we'll
as to future prospects for uninter-
with China" They request that the
authority o. the Russian legation
and the Russian consulates In China
shall remain unaSSailed.
Similar sentiments were expressed
by representative Russians and by
certain Chinese residents and lease
holders in the other concessions.
Chinese officials at Hardin are re-
ported to have asked the Russian
frontier district court there to trans
fer all its documents to the Chinese
government. The request is said to
have been refused by the district at
torney who declared that the pro-
cedure must follow Russian law. In
the event of force being used against
him, he said, his course would be to
notify all foreign consuls in Hardin
of the fact for the reason that docu-
mentS pertaining to foreign cases
were in his possession.
At meeting of the diplomatic
corps in Picking it was resolved to
ment that the physical property of
the Russian legation be placed in
charge of the Administrative Coun-
Gil of the Legation Quarter and it
was intimated that the choice of the
body for custodian would be Prince
the deposed Russian
who would be asked to re-
main in the legation as a private citi-
zen until his departure from China.
No decision regarding possible ac-
tion on the protests lodged with the
body was taken, so far as could be
ascertained.
The attitude of the foreign Office
is to continue in office all function
aries in the concessions except the
consulS, who have been replaced by
Chinese commissioners of foreign re-
lations. So far as possible, the AS
ISOLATED Press is Informed on good
it is the intention to fol-
low Russian law procedure in all
cases where Russians are concerned.
From the Chinese point of view the
new status of the Russian conces-
sions does not infringe any treaty
rights and it is declared to be the
to hold such rights in statu
quo until a government is recognized
in Russia

Monuments to Mark
Route Lincoln Took
Travelling to Courts

SPRINGFIELD. In.-Monumental
posts are soon to be erected in
eighteen counties in central Illi-
nois to mark the road travel
ed by Abraham Lincoln in 1847 when
he was most actively engaged in the
practice of law.
In those days Lincoln and other
lawyers of the vicinity travelled with
the court, then Judge David Davis,
over what was known as the Eighth
judicial circuit. Horses and buggies
were used it taking sometimes more
than day to travel from one court
house to another.
The monuments will be erected on
the county lines and boulder markers
will also be erected in each county
seat where Judge Davis held court.
The work has been promoted by an
organization formed for the purpose
called the Lincoln Circuit Marking
association.
