They then threw the bodies into the Danube Ths off cers were charged with anti-bolshevik propaganda.
 Tine third man executed was Ladislas Szamuely, who was the third of three wealthy brothers, who were affiliated with the communists. The other two brothers committed suicide. Ladislas had a unique history As judge he kept an express train of three cars waiting constantly at the depot, so that when ever occasion arose he could proceed throughout Hungary to condemn to death anti bo1Shevists. There were 42 illegal executions charged against him, though the exact number for which he was responsible will never be known.
 The executions took place in the snow covered courtyard of the prison at Budapest where crowds Of friends, relatives and curious minded gathered. There were several hundred civilians and officers within the courtyard and many crowded without They were for the most part sufferers from the bol- shevik regime. So they came not as idlers but with grim faces to see jus tice done.
 It is estimated that the bolsheviki executed more than 600 of those who opposed them. There are now awaiting trial 45o terrorists.
 The government today demanded for the seventh time that Austria give up Bella Kun, the former Hungarian com uunist leader, and others charged with murder. larceny and forgery.

HINES. ADVOCATES PLAN IF DIVISION
 IF EXCESS PROFITS
Republican A. p. Leased wIrel


 LOUISVILLE. Ky, Jan. 2s-WaIker D. Hines. director general of railroads, in an address before the Transports ton club here tonight, urged the ne cessity of a division of excess earnings of railroads corporations above a req sonaple return in order to protect the public against excess earnings of very prosperous railroads and in order to insure a fair return to all roads.
 Those who oppose this plan seem to assume that it will operate as a discouragement upon private capital" said MT. Hines. They seem to assume will be no Encouragement of private capital, but they should remember the Encouragement which have existed heretofore. The real question is whether a plan shall be adopted which will both protect the public interest and reasonably protect private capital or whether on the other hand plan shall be adopted which will fail to do either with any degree of satisfaction
 MT. Hines declared his belief that unless the railroad problem at the present time is dealt with ''in a bold and effective y-y, the return to pri- vate management after federal con VIII pc WHOlty
 The director general also urged the compulsory consolidation of the rail road systems of the country into few large systems and suggested the participation of the power and labor in the management of the roads.
 "I regard it as a very important part of this plan," said MT. Hines, ito leave to the railroad companies a sufficient proportion of the excess earnings to stimulate their efficiency in the pub lie interest, but beyond this point I believe the plan of division of earn ings which 1 propose is essential to the due protection both of the public in- terest and of all legitimate elements of private interest.
 q have heard it sef1ously urged that the old system ought to be kept be- cause we are familiar with it. This would be a, good argument if the old system had been satisfactory and had secured a proper result in the public interest, but since l believe the old system was wholly unsatisfactory and was rapidly becoming progressively more unsatisfactory, I am unable to appreciate the argument. I lind no rotency in the suggestion that we ought to adhere to failure because we are fa miliar with it.

IF RADIO MESSAGES COME FROM I PLANET THEY'RE FROM VENUS
Republican A. p. Leased wireJ

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-If wire less messa ges are being received on gested by William Mareorf, it is not Mars sending the signals. but most probably Venus, says Dr. c. c. Abbott director of the Smithsonian astrophysi- cal observatory and assistant secre taI'y of the Smithsonian institution
 Dr. Abbott makes no claim that the mysterious wireless signals do come from another planet, but says if they do Mars is eliminated as a possibility because known conditions on that planet probably would permit the ex- istence of any form of living creature
 In the first place says Dr. Abbott,
 on account of the greater distance, nearly two and one-haIf times less radiation from the sun reaches Mars than reaches the earth. It is probably nearly 100 Der cent colder on the aver age on that distant planet than on the earth. Knowing what low tempera- lures occur on this earth in the course of the winter season, it will readily be realized what 100 degrees colder would mean. In the second place, even if any more of life could withstand that de- gree of cold, it is definitely known by investigations of Director Campbell of Lick observatory, that there is practi- surrounding Mars, which fact crosses out the possibility of that planets SUD- porting any vegetation or other form of food for living creatures.
 No Life on Mars
 The polar caps which are seen on Mars may be either hoar frost from the minute traces of water vapor. in the Martian atmosphere, or what is quite as probable, frozen carbonic acid gas. The so-ealled canals of Mars are non- existent except as indefinite markings are to such telescope observers as Barnard, Hale and others who have ob- served with great telescopes under well nigh perfect conditions.
 But, it is objected, there may be other strange forms of beings which need no water or vegetation or heat. This is also reduced to impossibility by the fact that all living beings are made up largely of different com pounds of carbon While the stellar on all heavenly bodies, the chemical combinations of this element such as are required for life mostly require above freezing to prevent rigidity so the extremely low. tenn peratures on Mars, probably never higher than zero, would not allow the carbon compounds to exist in a condi- ton suitable for originating life.
 Venus May Have People
 '.The planet Venus, on the other hand, shows every condition necessary for life. It is nearly the same size as the earth and is even nearer the sun than the earth is. This would make the climate consid erably hotter on Venus, except for the fact that the atmosphere surrounding Venus is continually cloudy. This uni-

PACKER CONTROL .|S FAVORED BY LIVESTOCK MEN
National Association Also Urges Military Training and Pact Reservations to Safeguard America -| Kendrick Again President
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 SPOKANE, Wash. Jan. 29.-Govern- ment regulation of the meat packing industry was endorsed in a resolution passed at the closing session here to- day of the American Livestock asso- citation annual convention.
 United States Senator John E. Ken drick was reelected president of the association and Fl Paso, Texas, was chosen as next years meeting place.
 Prompt return of railroads to pri- Vate control, with restoration of the full powers of the interstate commerce commission was demanded in another resolution adopted.
 Universal military training for the youth of the nation was advocated.
 The treaty resolution. while not specifying any particular set of reser- vations, declared the senate, in it's ratification, should safeguard Ameri can interests to the fullest extent by all reservations they deem necessary to secure this reassurance
 Peace Reservations Favored
 The reservations must be so strong" the resolution continues, "as to leave no doubt as to any constitu tional limits. The American constitu- ton must be preserved in all it's Amer icanism and for the perpetuity of the nation.'
 Failing the possibility of ratification with such safeguards, the resolutions declare, congress should pass at once a declaration that the war is at an end
 Other resolutions indorsed the set tlement of the packers antitrust leg islation effected by Attorney General Palmer; praised the work of United States Senator John B. kendrick as president of the association and of the associations market committee; fla vored placing public lands under the supervision of the department of az riculture; indorsed the policy of de- portation of alien agitators, and op posed leasing of public lands to aliens who have not made application for citizenship.
 Would Regulate Packers
 The resolution endorsing government regulation of the meat packing indus try avoided specific reference to the livestock commission bill now before the house agricultural committee. It asked for regulatory laws ''so specifi- cally and plainly expressed as to pre- of any arbitrary power" and recom- mends that the supervision of such market agencies provided for by the proposed legislation be made matter of law, such as to occasion the least possible disturbance or interference with existing business conditions.
 Senator Kendrick as president, an nounced the reappointment, with one exception, of the present marketing committee, with H. A. Jastro of Bak- ersfield, Calif., as chairman. and F. l.. Burke of Omaha as vice chairman.
 C. M. O'Donel Of Bell Ranch, N. NJ. was reelected first vice president, >~G second vice presidents were elected as follows: NJ. k- Parsons, Salt Lake City; Isaac Baer, Meeker, Colo; E. l.. Burke. Omaha; C. l.. Brite. Maria, Texas; William Pollman. Baker, Ore.
