RIGA, Nov 7.-Bolshevik prisons in Russia have been ordered opened for the release of thousands of per sons in celebration of the anniver- sary of the revolution, but according to a Moscow wireless, hundreds of important political prisoners for whose release or communication of sentence Russians abroad had hoped, do not come under the amnesty.

 Thus members of the executive committee Of the social revolutionists who have long been in prison will remain there. Death sentences of all persons for other offenses whose cases have reached the appeal stage are commuted to five years impris- onment
