RIOT OYER SEIZURE
OF CHURCH JEWELS
Collection of Treasures by
Soviet to Relieve Starving
Brings Clashes.

Moscow, April 8 lAssociated Press).
The requisitioning of church treasures Is
in full swing throughout Russia. but
under the tensets circumstances. From
ten provinces there have been collected
Z pounds of gold and 1890 pounds OF
silver
From six churches ia the outlying dis
tr.cts Of Moscow requisitioning parties
on Sunday secured 3.13c pounds of sill
vcr. a quantity of gold and twenty-four
diamonds. Two synagogues yielded
scventy-one pounds of silver and two
golden articles. In one synagogue the
custodians were arrested because ten
valuable articles that had been listed
were missing.
Up to March l3 churches in the Gov
ernment of Viatlla had yielded two and n
third pounds. or about $500 carats OF
diamonds. and nearly ten pounds OF
pearls and other jewels.
The centra, committee OF the Moscow
province Communist party has. ordered
every Communist ito surrender all their
gold. silver and Jewels. with the excep-
tion of Bolshevist decorations, for the
benefit of the famine stricken people.
The Soviet Government has begun. in
the presence Of Bishop Antonin. to smelt
the gold and silver which has been con-
fiscated. The famine committee has
asked the Government to advance 1,000,-
080 gold rubles against the valuables
already secured in order that 1t may
Immediately purchase bread abroad.
There has been some rioting. but gen.
orally no active resistance to actual
seizures has occurred. The fSvestio says
to-day that collision between a requisi-
tioning party and church members oc-
CURED at Smolensk, and that there were
some casualties. Another newspaper re-
ports near riot between "old women
and raiders at one OF the Moscow
churches Sunday.
While gold. silver and Jewels are pour
ing in from all sides on the famine COM
mittee. the PruUdd and the frvcstio in
editorials advocate the application OF the
same stringent methods which are used
on counter revoiutionaries to the princes
of the church and other persons who are
said to be directly opposing the requisi-
tions.

OTTO Is HELD TRUE !.
KING OF HUNGARY.
Legitimists Decide Charles's
Eldest Son Is Entitled
to Crown.
REGARD ZITA AS REGENT
Former Emperor Designated

COPYRIGHT. 1929, by THE New YcRK HraALp.
VIENNA, April s.--The former Empe-
ror designated his brother the former
Archduke Max, to be the guardian of
his children. Legitimist leaders held a
conference In Budapest yesterday which
came to the unanimous conclusion that
Charles's eldest son. Otto, Is the right
ful King Of Hungary and that his coro-
nation Is prevented only by force ma
jeure. The conferees also agreed that
according to Hungarian tradition ex-
Empress Zita must be regarded as the
Regent during Ottos minority, which
win cease with his sixteenth year.
This seems to dispose OF the claims
OF the other Hapsburgs who seek the
support OF the legftimists. On the other
hand the supporters OF free election
to choose the future. King are arguing
that by the death or the actual wearer
OF the crown OF st. Stephen the way for
nm election Is now free for all candidates,
quarrels over the legal side OF the aucs-
tion. may be expected. but the position OF
the legitimists undoubtedly IL weaker
than that OF the other two factions.
The Hungarian Government ordered
public NOR r-ning for Charles this morn
Ing. Premier Bethlen, who is for u free
election. expresses the view that the
worst tension between the quarreling
parties Is ended
Czecho-Slovakian newspapers, while
regarding Charles's death as a severe
blow to the legitimists, say that the
danger Is not vet wholly removed. They
announce that Czecho-SlovakIa Is firmly
resolved not to tolerate a Hapsburg on
the Hungarian throne.
Cardinal Piffl of Vienna will celebrate
a requiem mass for Charles In ST.
Stephens Cathedral Wednesday. Aus
trian iegitfmists will hold a similar
ceremony in the Capuchin Church on
