Execute Victims
Many Slain on CHARGE
Of Being Counter Req
oluti01ists, Says Vienna

VIENNA, May % (By The Associated
Press) Many persons accused of be-
ing counter revolutionists are being
executed in Budapest by the Hungarian
Communists, according to dispatches
received here. The victims usually are
shot in front of the Hungarian Parlia-
ment House in the daytime or in the
public school yard in the Markostrasse
at night.
Among those who are said to have
been executed are Herr Holan, mana
ger Of the Kaschau- o derberg Railway;
Bishop Balthasar, hostage from De-
breczen, and Colonel Dormany, Of the
General Staff, who was taken from a
hospital. Several girls who we're ac-
cused of making tricolor rosettes for
the counter-revolutionist also were
executed The presiding Judge of the
revolutionary tribunal which orders
the executions, it is said, is a former
locksmith, twenty-five years of age.
Many bodies of men and women and
girls of the better classes have been
found on the shores of islands. in the
Danube below the city. 1t is reported
that they were arrested in the residen-
tial quarter of Buda and we're thrown
into the Danube by guards who were
taking them to prisons in Pest.

purpose was to promote Bolshevist
propaganda in the United States.
Senator King also announced that
he would introduce another resolution
proposing recognition of the All Rus
sian government at Omsk as the de
facto government OF Russia. The reso-
luton also would provide for extern
sion by the United States of financial
and other aid to the Omsk government
Admiral Kolchak, dictator of the
Omsk government, has been notified by
the Paris peace conference that as soon
as he has established a stable govern
ment it will be accorded recognition.
While L. c. A. K Martens was not

fact that Senator King, of Utah, pur-
posed 20 introduce a resolution in the
Senate to-day calling for deportation
of Martens and all the workers con-
rected with the Russian Soviet Bureau,
which he heads, he said he had made
no attempt at Bolshevik propaganda
here.
Santeri Nuorteva, spokesman of the
bureau, said a regular statement would
be issued to-day, after the matter had
been given careful consideration. Until
that time, he said, he would content
himself with a general denial of the
charges made by Senator King.

Attitude of Allies
Toward Russians Is

Martens and Lomonosoff
Given Ovation by Radicals
at Hotel des Artistes; De-

Ovations lasting several minutes
each we're given to L. C. A. X. Mar
tens, head Of the Russian Soviet Bu-
reau, whose expulsion from the United
States is demanded in a resolution to
be presented by Senator King, and
Professor George Lomonosoff, last
night at dinner given by "The DIAL"
liberal journal, in their honor at the
Hotel des Artistes, / West Sixty
seventh Street.
The evening was devoted to a sys-
tematic arraignment of the Allied pol
icy toward Russia, to which both Mar
tens and Lomonosoff contributed, aided
by Amos Pinchot, radical lawyer; Will
Durant, lecturer ousted from the lee
ture department by Superintendent of
Schools Ettinger, and Gilbert E. Roe,
former law partner of Senator La Fol
lette.
Resolutions calling for the raising
of the blockade around Russia, and a
pledge to work for the recognition of
Soviet Russia by the United States,
were adopted by the 500 diners present
Professor Lomonosoff declared the
Allies wish to divide Russia, and also
that Kolchak was $50 to speak, an in
troductory personality in the Russian
tragedy. He is allowed to torture and
assassinate Russian people so as to
better show the inability Of the Rus
sian people to keep their country in
order"

said, "the league of nations will be

southeastern part of Russia will be

Russia, I have no information about it,.
Possibly mandate will be given to
Italy or probably to Brazil or Finland -
Prof. Lomonosotf was followed by
Amos Pinchot who spoke of the efforts
of President Wilson, and said at one
point that "it was said of Napoleon s
Old Guard that it died but never sur
rendered. But Mr. Wilson's principles
are of more durable stuff. They never
die, but they surrender with a regu-
larity that is almost rhythmic"
Mr.. Martens read his speech, which
was an academic discussion of "Open
Diplomacy Openly Arrived At"
"The Russian workers." he said, "are
grateful to the intelligent people in
American for their refusal to let them
selves be duped by <<he avalanche of
slander directed against the Russian
workers."
