BAKER COMPUTES SENTENCE OF ONLY
 CASE OF TREASON
Alleged Doubt in Case is the Cause of His
 Release

New York, Dec. 26.-Secretary of War Baker today commuted the 2O-year sentence imposed upon Private Lawrence Perlmutter of New York the only member of the A.. E. F. to be convicted of treason, according to word receiv- ed from Washington by Represen- tative Isaac Siegel of New York who interested himself in the lads case.
 Perlmutter, who served in the medical department, 9th infan- try, second division, was convicted of having supplied military in- formation of value to the Germans while prisoner of war. He was courtmartialed in Coblenz, after having rejoined the American ar my after the armistice and his sen tence was approved by general headquarters.
 According to Siegel, who went over the record in the case with Provost Marshal General Crowder it was not shown that the answers which Perlmutter gave the Ger mans were true and only one witness, Captain William H. Cor don, captured with Perlmutter, tes- tified against him, whereas two witnesses are needed before ar American can be legally convict ed of treason.
 Doubt in Case.
 Washington, Dec. 26.-Evidence of hostility toward the defendant by his fellow prisoners, noted by Judge Advocate General Crow, der, in reviewing the case of Prl- vate Lawrence Perlmutter, were taken into consideration in order ing that the 20-year sentence i'm posed him be removed, Secretary Baker said in approved General Crowder's report.
 It was also noted that, accord ing to evidence in the case, a con- versation alleged by these fellow prisoners to have taken place or the night of capture of Perlmutte, and his companions, between Perl mutter and a German officer in ar adjoining room was held in Eng: fish. General Crowder declared it to be "inherently improbable and the man talking to the Ger. man officer was Perlmutter, since it had already been shown that he spoke excellent German.
 In view of this doubt, MT. Bak. CT said, General Crowder recon. mended complete remission o1 the sentence and he approved the recommendation

Union of Russian ... Workers are Worse
 Than the Soviet

New York, Dec. 26.-Evidence was given at today's executive ses- sion of the legislative committee which has been Investigating rad realism in New York state, that the Union of Russian Workers, the organization to which a large proportion of the radicals recent ly deported on the transport Bu- ford belonged, exceeds the soviet government of Russia in it's an- tagonism to all forms of authority. George J. Starr, an investigator of the committee testified that at one of the meetings of the organi- zation, resolution was adopted condemning the Lenine-Trotzhy variety of government as being as reactionary as any other form.
 Evidence also was given the committee thatthe Union of Rus sian Workers has more than 7,0O0 members inthe United States, or ganized in seventy branches, and that it has 17 branches in Canada. As an indication of the kind o1 doctrines the organization advo' cates, throughout the country at the time of the attempted assasi- nation of Premier Clemenceau, o1 France, last spring. This circu' lar described the premier's assail ant as "a bold and loyal son of the oppressed masses" and termed his act "a holy duty"
 The committee tonight issued /; statement preliminary to the fina report, which will be presented tt the legislature at it's forthcoming session.
 "In not only the large but alst in the small centers of population upstate" the statement said "there are found men and women engaged in the radical revolution ary movement. Evidence also dis closes the fact that literature O an extremely radical nature is be ing very generally and very open ly circulated throughout the ell tire state, principally by organ cations located in New York City
