erty rights within certain limits, and upon which Russia's future dealings with American and other foreign and local capital depend, unanimously passed the executive committee today.
 While wide latitude is given capitalis tic and industrial effort, the decree nevertheless provides that everything must be limited to the soviet laws and gives the soviet the right to void any agreement which obviously Is directed to harm the state"
 l A special clause was added to the law on motion of the communistic faction at the last moment which makes 1t non-re- troactive. It specifically denies rights un- der the laws to previous owners whose property was appropriated on the groundE of revolutionary law up to the time of the issue of the decree and does not | give them the right to demand return of the property.
 Foreigners under the decree have the same rights as Russian citizens, if they previously have secured permission from the proper authorities to operate in Rus sia. The right of the protection of the Russian court is given to persons abroad suing on contracts and other matters 1T Russia, only in the event that Russian citizens similarly have access to the courts of the nationals who sue in Rus sia.
 Soviet officials today told The Associat ed Press they considered this decree largely meets the condition of Secretary of State Hughes for American trade il Russia They further declared that tht law expresses the maximum of surrender to capitalism Russia is ready to make and that it's limits define the limits O retreat which Nikolai Lenine in a re cent speech mentioned as having ended.
 Regarding the ownership rights ir buildings not nationalized up to date, M Kursky. cotnmissar for justice. toll The Associated Press that virtually al large structures in Russia had been na tionslized, thus leaving few of then affected by the new law.

REPORTS OF REVOLUTION
 IN BULGARIA NOT VERIFIED

Paris. May 22.-The French foreign of flee tonight was without any confirma- tion of the reports circuitously reaching here yesterday to the effect that a revo- lution had broken out in Bulgaria and that King Boris had fled The Bulgarian legation, moreover, has issued denial of the reported revolution.
 Although no press despatches direct from Sofia were received in Paris today, the despatches of yesterday told of the forthcoming peasant congress of 50,000 delegates scheduled to convene in the Bulgarian capital May 2S. and no mention was made of revolutionary activities. The despatches merely state that the govern ment had mustered large forces of police to maintain order during the peasants gathering.
 Representatives of peasant parties in Jugc-Slavia, Rumania and Poland are expected to attend the congress, which will be presided over by Alexander Stam- boulisky, Bulgaria's picturesque premier and peasant political leader.

SCOffs RuInOfs of
 Revolt in Bulgaria
Stephan Panaretoff, Bulgari- an Minister in Washing ton, Says No Foundation
 for Reports.

Washington. May 22.-Conviction that there was not the slightest foundation in fact for reports of revolution in Bull garia and of King Boris fleeing to Var na was expressed today by Stephan Pan aretoff, Bulgarian minister to the Unit ed States.
 The minister in support of his convic- tion pointed out that while the reports came from Vienna and were based on rumors from Belgrade, an Associated Press despatch under date of Saturday made no mention of any revolution and on the contrary showed that peaceful conditions existed there.
 Why should the king fly from Sofia to Varna?" asked MT. Panaretoff. Tt would be as if he had fled from Philadelphia to Harris burg, If he were compelled to run away at all he would certainly try to get out of his own country"
 Minister Panaretoff said he knew that Pdenier Stamboulisky, who is de- clared in Vienna reports to have led the revolt was on the best of terms with King Boris and that the premier did not favor the communists and would be the last ma nto further revolution which in the nature of things would have to be direct ed in fact against his own government The minister said the Bulgarian gov ernment had been embarrassed by the presence of 1000 Russian soldiers oi General WrangePs army as the Bulgarian government was forbidden by the peace treaty to keep more than a total of that same number of its own soldiers in the whole country. As the Bulgarian army was required to be purely volunteer force 1t had not been found practicable to recruit it to its full authorized strength and so far only 1000 Bulgarians haS been willing to enter the ranks, he said. l It was out of apprehension that tht presence of General wrangel would strengthen the communist party now neg l ligible. in Bulgaria, that the government had been compelled to decline to gran him permission to enter the country tn minister said.
 There is not the slightest danger o a communistic uprising in Bulgaria" sait the minister in conclusion.
 Seventy per cent. of the population is agricultural and it is well known tha the farmers are never sympathetic witt communism, being intensely devoted t the idea of personal possession"
 The minister was in conference todd, with the officials Of the state depart ment and found that they also wer without any knowledge of revolution i Bulgaria.
