LEADERS SUPPRESS
SECRET SPY SYSTEM
OF BOLSHEVIK RULE
(By Associated Press)

REVAL, Esthonia, Aug. 27.-The
powers of the "Cheka", or extraordin-
airy committee to combat counter
revolution have recently been cur
tailed say Moscow advices from indie
pendent sources. These are in some
measure corroborated by Bolshevik
newspapers. 1t was the "Cheka,' with
its powers of arTesting without war
rants, secret COMBINATIONS 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
f1cials, considering that the period OF
civil war and counter-revolution was
almost completely ended, favored the
abolition of the 'Cheka" altogether, it
is said. The controversy between
those desiring to abolish it and those
considering it still necessary is now
understood to have been settled by a
compromise.
NJ Krylenko, a former sailor, the
public prosecutor of the Revolutionary
tribunal led the fight for abolition,
according to newspapers in the Baltic
states. Dzerzhinski, president of the
"Cheka." opposed him.
The government resolved on re-
form of legal procedure, under which
the "Cheka's" powers are principally
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 estab.
lished. This is to act as the highest
legal body, as court Of appeals. and
also as an institution of supervision
In exercising this supervision, the
tribunal must include a representative
of the ''Cheka"
In theory the revolutionary military
tribunals in the army and on the rail
ways are abolished, unless military
operations or uprisings render theil
retention necessary. The functions al
present exercised by these courts will
be transferred to special departments
which are to have the right to pass
sentence of death in regions not under
martial law.
