POWERS OF "CHEKA"
ARE CURTAlLED

Reval. Esthonia, Aug. 2s.-The
powers Of the "Cheka," or extraordl-
nary committee to combat counter
revolution have recently been cur
tailed, say Moscow advtces from in
dependent sources. These are in
some measure corrorborated by Boil
shevtk newspapers. It was the
"Cheka," with its powers OF arrest
ing without warrants, secret condem-
nations and death sentences. which
ordered and carried out most of the
executions during the period of red
terror in Russia.
Some of the Soviet government Of
fcials, considering that the period Of
civil war and counter-reYolution was
almost completely ended, favored the
abolition of the "Cheka"A altogether, 1t
Is said. The controversy between
those desiring to abolish 1t and those
considering it still necessary is now
understood to have been settled by a
compromise. )
M. Krylenko.. q former sailor, the
public prosecutor Of the "revolution-
airy tribunal led the fight for aboli-
ton. according to newspapers in the
Baltic states. Dxerzhinskt, president
Of the "Cheka,"' opposed him.
The government resolved on q re-
form of legal procedure, under, which
the "Cheka's' powers are principal
ly confined to cases of espionage and
participation in revolts but without
power to pass the death sentence ex-
cept in localities under martial law.
A supreme tribunal is to be es-
tablished. This Is to act as the high
est legal body, as court of appeals
and also as an institution OF super
vision. In exercising this supervision,
the tribunal must include a represen-
tative of the "Cheka."
In theory the revolutionary mill
tary tribunals in the army and on
the railways are abolished, unless
military operations or uprisings rem
der their retention necessary. The
functions at present exercised by
these courts will be transferred tc
special departments which are to
have the right to pass sentence OF
death in regions not under martial
law ast. ,~sf 4a @
