CHlTA HOPES TO BE RECOGNIZED
 BY UNCLE SAM

sentatives of the Far East (Chita) government who have been making strong plea to be heard at the Washington conference deem it a Suicidal policy" for the governments of the United States and China not to take the lead in recognizing their republic.
 Boris Shvirsky, head of the Chita delegation now in Washington, points
 out that both American financiers and the large population of Chinese within the Far Eastern republic ] have clamored consistently for the recognition of the Chita aministra- tion because they realize that much is to be gained by such action. "The peculiar circumstances at taching to the whole matter" Shvir- sky said "is that while our govern ment is not recognized the Ameri- can financial interests are negoti- ating with us right along for plans to tap the rich resources of our terri tory, which is one million square miles-almost the size of France, Spain and Germany combined SOILS RICH IN ORES
 Our soils are rich in gold, coal, silver and score of other ores. If the Japanese would only withdraw tbeir obstruction and interference within our territory we could derive an unusual revenue of twenty mil lion dollars from the huge quantity of timber alone. We have been a great consumer of American machinery ano we have always maintained a manufacturers and bankers
 "The Chinese population in Chita, on the other hand, are carrying on a very profitable trade with our Rus sian people. The majority of the stores. wholesale and retail. are in the hands of the Chinese merchants, who are friendly and cordial with
 our people. In view of this fact not only the Chinese merchants but the representatives of China at Chita have been puzzled about the hesita- tion of Pekin to recognize the Far Eastern Republic"
 The reasons for n-recognition, according to Shvirsky, are these: Much as China desires to establish treaty relations with the Far East ern Republic she fears the displeas- ure of the big Powers in taking any sort of initiative, while the United Statees is hesitant in the matter be- cause she does not wish to have deal ings with any Russion state outside of Russia until the Soviet govern- ment is duly recognized.
 JAPANESE PROPAGANDA
 Speaking of the question of spread ing Bolshevik propaganda in Asia, MT. Shvirsky attributed it entirely to Japanese attempts to discredit the Chita government.
 "The Far Eastern Republic is an independent state of the Soviet gov ernment," he said Our only con- nection with Moscow or Petrograd is treaty relations like any other coun- try with it's own sovereignty. But we are in no way hampered by any other power than Japan herself. Un- fortunately this aggressive neighbor of ours is doing all that can be done to prevent us from getting out into the Pacific coast
 That explains why Japan has hith- erto been offering all the assistance in supplying arms and finance to the Vladivostok government to keep up the hostility between us and at the same time refusing to withdraw the 1000 Japanese trCODS from Our soil "

"In Search of Sinner Constance Talmage's latest picture at the Elm l press theater tonight.
 The main action of the play re- wolves around Georgiana Chadbourne widow of twenty, who has been bored to death" by three years of living with a perfectly good man. Henry Chadbourne, her late hus- band, was built more on the lines of saint than a mortal. So that after his demise, it is not surprising that Georgiana never wanted to see another "good" man as long as she lived Bent on hunting wickedness she turns her steps New Yorkward and visits her brother-in-law, Jeffry and his wife. Despite advice to "be care- full" Georgiana throws away her mourning veils and ambles to Gen. tral Park. where she is gratified to see passing horseman flirt with her. Thinking him "rounder she encourages his advances and al lows him to make violent love to her. She returns home highly pleased over her success in falling in love with a wicked man. But ,Ieffry and his wife are called away on account of his mother hav- ing the measles, and Georgiana is sked to entertain visitor that same evening by the name of Jack Garrison--which, by the way, was the name of the wicked man in the park.
 Tn order to test his wickedness Georgiana plans to tell Garrison that she is Jeffry's wife. For, as she says, "A man who will make love to his best friends wife is half human, anyway" But she reckoned not with Garrison's code of honor Once told that she was Jeffry's wife, he donned his hat and quit the apart ment with dignity.
 Jeffry and his wife were mean while in quarantine for two weeks So that Georgiana sets her trap to make the tame man wild" After decorating the apartment with the most sensuous pictures available she again invites Garrison to dine, and succeeds in her purpose. He en- braces her violently until his con- science forges to the front and he dramatically broke away from the place. after telling Georgiana that he is going to hell"
 He finds the widest woman on Sixth Avenue, takes her to his apart ment and gets out his private stock of champagne. They are found there by Jeffry and Georgiana later when Jeff breaks quarantine to see how his home is getting along. Satisfied with Garrison's wildness Georgiana helps oust the wild woman from the apartment and a new ele- ment develops in the story

FIX PRICE ON
ALL SPOT COAL
tBy THE ASSOCIATED PREss)


WASHINGTON, May 31-Secretary
Hoover today assumed the respOnsi.
bility for fixing n reasonable price on
spot coal during the continuance Of
the present coal strike.
Opening the conference here today
of union and non-union operators, Mr..
Hoover declared that any agreement
between the operators looking toward
the fixing of the price of coal, even
in the interest of the public, will be
illegal and therefore he asked the in
dividual operators to agree with him
upon reasonable price for coal in
their respective districts.
Secretary Hoover suggested the ap.
pointment of committees representing
each producing district to advise with
him upon n fair price for coal in their
respective distpicts. He also asked
that committees should continue in
existence and report to him after the
fixing of fair price, cases of unfair
prices in their districts and act at
his request as might be necessary to
meet such cases.

Also Give A Vote OF Conf
dence To Superintendent
A. w. Elliott

The teachers OF the Mt Vernon pub.
lie schools today issued a statement
pointing out the deficiency of the
physical equipment of the local
schools and the need of new high
school building. In the statement the
teachers also extend testimonial OF
confidence to Supt. A. w. Elliott.
The statement in full follows:
TO the People of Mount Vernon
The teachers in the schools of Mt.
Vernon are pleased with the recent ac.
tion of the executive committee of the
city parent-teacher organization in ap.
proving unanimously the building pro-
gram recently announced by the
Board of Education. This action is
the more valuable since it comes from
that group which is in most complete
touch with the needs Of our schools.
1t has always been matter of grave
concern for us to contemplate the
general lack of knowledge of modern
school problems. Thus feeling of ap-
prehension is not prompted by selfish
motives. We know that we conserve
our best interests through serving
those committed to our care. So when
an individual measures today's edu-
cational requirements in terms of
those of time that is past, and then
acts in opposition to a constructive
program because he does not COM
prehend its Importance, we know that
he is compromising the welfare of his
children's children by removing the
instruments of labor from our hands
We feel further that the people Of
Mount Vernon should realize that the
physical equipment of the schools of
the city is deficient. On numerous oc-
casions visiting school men have told
us that the high school building is
perhaps the worst in the state. State
inspectors have warned us repeated
ly through the last three years that
