BASEL, >witz.. Alar. 26.—Czecho-blovak forces have occu
pied the important city of Raab. on the river Danube, only 67
miles northwest of Budapest, according to Vienna dispatches
to the Frankfurter Zeitung.
Since early December there have been recurring reports of
grave disorders in Rumania, but there never has been any offi
eial confirmation nor any statement from the government on
the internal situation. Everything has been unsettled however
however, and the government has had to deal with socialist
agitators at home and Bolsheviki propagandists from Russia.
The reconstruction task of the government has been hard be
cause of the manner in which the Germans pillaged the country
during the occupation. Rumanian money, printed and floated
hy the Germans, has been causing financial difficulties.

ASTOUNDING ACCUSATIONS
Declares In Letter To Sec,
Lane That Riggs
Was Incimpetent
WASHINGTON. 0, C. Mar, 2fi, —
Si—* astounding accusations again*-;
the administration of the Aiatkan af
fairs bv the Department ef the Inter
ior were contained ;n a lengthy letter
addressed to Secretary Franklin K,
Lane by Delegate James Wiekersham
just received by Lane, the latter mak
ing no reply.
Copies ef the letter have been dis
tributed te a few congressmen for
their own information.
Wiekersham demands the withdraw
al of Lane from the official manage
ment of the Alaska railroad construct
ion. .-.charging in competency, political
partisanship, waste and missuse of the
fund* appropriated, the levying of un
just and unreasonable rates on the eom
pleted portions of the road. He furth
er ehsrzes Lane with having assisted
the Alaska Syndicate, the Guggenheim
and Morgan Corporations in imposing
unreasonable rate* against Alaska ship
per* and uniust discrimination against
the residents of the territory: that He
has virtually given ever the control ef
the Bering River district to the Gugg
enheims and made it possible for the
Southern Pacific to get the cream of
the Mataaueka valley coal.
Wiekersham quotes letters and offi
cial document* to supper* his charges
that Governor Riggs was Incompetent
a* a railroad contractor in the Nenana
division, saying: “You are responsible
for it You knew he was hopelessly in
competent when you sent him there.”
He further chargee that the railroad
which cost one hundred and forty thou
sand dollars per mile, could have been
buiH b7 a private contractor for forty
er fifty thousand dollars. . Riggs’ was
a social and political appointment and
an offense against the Alaska railroad
project, be wrote, adding, “and drunk
enness Mr. Secretary, in the headquar
ters at Nenana which was publicly
flaunted in Mr, Riggs’ face, cost the
government railroad funds a loss of
mililsnsof dollars, a year's loss of time
and an end to the appropriations be
sides bringing failure to the worthy
enterprise,"

PARTS. March 26.—The council of the five great nations has
:oc'-! that the ouestion of the Turkish boundary shall not be
'" •''d upon by the boundary commission but shall be acted up
on b- the Supreme Council. The boundary ’etween Albania
and Ju^n-Slavia also has been reserved for •<•. ;F by the Su
r ’T”Council and will be considered together with the entire
Ndriatic ouestions and the delimitation of the boundaries of
and Jugoslavia.
TM ■ decision W’M not result in delay as the council will prob
’v dispose of them as soon as the boundaries: commission re
t- ,-f j • comp'eted and the entire territorial question will be pass
■ 1 imon at once as much confusion would result from attempts
i o do p’ece-meal work. The west German boundary also has
'•cor! reserved for action by the supreme council because of its
irony complexities.
Count ies having several boundaries under question would
-'(irqv.-v fo make up on one frontier what is denied them on an

The Fakir is after them. Thousands of
