ACTION OF COMMITTEE COMES AS SURPRISE

MOSCOW, March SO-6By As- spciated Press. )-The action of the central executive committee in com muting the death sentence against Archbishop Zepliak and denyine clemency in the case of Vicar Gen eral Butchkavitch, came so quickly as to cause general surprise.
 The decision was taken at a meet ing last night and so unexpected was it that one of the members of the defense counsel declared today he knew nothing of it until he read the morning paper. The formal appeal on which the committee acted re- auested clemency on the following three claims:
 First, that the priests were not enemies of the government nor were they counter-revolutionar their only disobedience was due to the decree separating church and state. and the fact was that they them selves as citizens came into conflict and opposition with the church can mons.
 Second. that they had never been accused during the time of the rev clution of any criminal activity and that there was no accusation that they were connected with the coun- ter-revolutionaries.
 Point To pfi.onment.
 Third. in case they were consi- 6ered dangerous it was not neces sary to carry out the death sentence ss by imprisonment they could be put in d position where they were not dangerous.
 The appeal cited the ages of the two defendants, stating that Arch ,.ofshop zepliak was over fifty and <Nicar Butchkavitch. 55.
 From the tone of editorials in tht official newspapers Pravda ant yzvestia in which both the friends aud foes who appealed against the sentences were roundly censured Il might appear that in making it's de- cision. the committee intended to force the principal of Russia's right to demand obedience to the Russian laws.
 The foreign offices received ap- peals of clemency from friends ol tfe soviet regime in several coun- tyies as well as protests from vari- ous ecclesiastical organizations ana these the Pravda takes up in an editorial opening with ironical state ment: l.. the Kingdom of atrocities-sovie'
 In a serious vein, the newspaper declares that the tribunal Is de fsnding the rights of the laborins classes whereas the bourgeolsie system 'aided TOT teh,ui IFS ns nriests' was said to have commit l. ted much worse atrocities against the laboring classes
 Edouard Herriot. mayor of lyons France; George Lansbury, former ed flor of the London Daily Herald, the ishor organ. and Benjamin Turner laborite member of the British Par iiament. all of whom recently visited Russia, come in for share Of the al tack by the Pravda as "compromlser' with the priestly servants or th' bourgeoisie."
 But Poland draws the chief assault . Referring to Premier SikorsKi' statement, the Pravada says:
 ''In 1918 man somewhat stronGe than the ephemeral statesmen Holland. namely the English foreiGi minister, Balfour threatened tn soviet government with persecution by land and air if it failed to aban don it's sins. The soviet angrli

FOUR DEAD IN BLIZZARD

 ELIZABETH CITY, N. C., March sO,-Four men lost their lives and five others are in hospital here to- day suffering from cold and expos ure as a result, of the capsizing of the tug Julian J. Fleetwood insAlbe- marie sound yesterday during a high gale.
 The dead are: Capt Clyde Walker, First Mate William E. Gray, Vernon Chance, a negro cook.

 You were asked if you would bring about a change of goyernm ent by force and violence. Do you be- lieve any person could bring it about so-under the Marxian philosophy 9"
 No one man could. The forces that bring about revolution are en- tirely beyond personal control. The revolution will come from the work ing out of contradictions in the cap italistic system if it comes at all."
 Just at the close of the case Judge Charles F. White stated that he would permit in evidence the book called the "A B C of Communism, !" which was offered by the state and which had previously been rejected. In this book there are statements of communistic philosophy which are interpreted by the state to advocate force and violence in overthrowing the government and it is on this and similar evidence that the state will have to prove that feature of the case. Foster was examined this aft ernoon from a red-covered book en- titled "Syndicalism," of which he and E. c. Ford were the joint authors. This book was published 12 years ago in Chicago and was withdrawn from circulation after a few months. Foster declared that he had since repudiated it and in his speeches and writings he had never since that time advocated any of the incendiary methods which he preached while he was a syndicalist. The book figured extensively in the United States Sen ate investigation of the steel strike and Foster at that time repudiate ed it's doctrines also. A fight was made today to keep it out of evidence. but Judge White permitted Mir Smith to question the witness from 1t,
