Demands Lodged: Threat to Peking: Result of Recent Clash As the result of the recent clash between troops and students at the Provincial Assembly Hall in Anking, Anhui residents have issued statement that at a meeting they decided to send five demands to the Peking Government, namely:—(1) That Nyi Tze-chung's nephew be dismissed from Government service (2) That the Commissioner of Defence, Ma Lien-kah, be dismissed and punished; (3) That the Provincial Assembly of Anhui be dissolved; (4) That the assemblyman and other persons who struck the students be severely punished; and (5) That the students who were injured be indemnified.
They state that if they fail to have their demands granted, merchants, labourers, and students will declare a general strike. If the Government then persists in refusing to take need of their demands, they will refuse to pay taxes "to feed those who are murderers." In any case, they will see that none of the present assemblyman are re-elected to office.
