AUSTRIA ASKED TO AID quoted as ruling that the taxes for March and April must ba paia wunin five days after May 13 and that no extension would be granted. The de partment added, however, that the companies would not be expected to comply with a recent decree of the Carranza government almost doubling the amount, but might pay the March April assessment in accordance with the tariff fixed for January and February. The largest oil companies have not paid the taxes, but neither their rep resentatives nor the state depart ment received notification of any punitive action taken by the Mexican authorities. , Press reports today indicated Car- ' ranza had reached Zacatlan in the mountains of Pucbla near Tuxpam. SENATE STANDS PAT Adjutants-General Alleged to Influence House. Refusal of Bolshevik Leaders to Act Necessitates In direct Pressure. RICHER! IS CHARGED MRS. TJfOMPSOX ACCUSED BY I DR. ESTHER FOUL LOVEJOY. WASHINGTON', May 20 Aroused by reports of the imprisonment and de tention in soviet Russia of various American citizens, the state depart ment today took steps to bring to bear indirect pressure on the bolshe vik authorities to obtain their release. A request has been addressed to the Austrian government through the American commissioner in Vienna, asking that Hungarian communists, detained aince their escape to Vienna from Budapest last year and whose release has been made the subject of overtures by the bolsheviki, shall be .refused release pending the freeing of American, citizens detained in Rus sia. Action by this government was taken, it was said, as a. result of a auggestion of another government and was in accord with the views of other countries. American Reported Starring. One of the Americans known to be imprisoned in Russia by the bolshe vik), Xenophen B. Kalamatiano, has been made the subject of ineffectual representations for more than a year. According to the latest reports re ceived by tho department, Kalama tiano is in close confinement and is being starved to death. No complete list of Americans held by the bolsheviki is available, but enough is known of conditions in Rus sia to' make the state department cognizant of a rigorous system of sur veillance on the part of the soviet au thorities toward Americans. Pre sum&bly. it is said, this policy is based on a fear that individuals who have observed the soviet regime at close range may return to report actual conditions prevailing in Russia. List af Prisoners Issued. The bolshevik government is hold ing as prisoners in Moscow the fol lowing Americans: Xenophen B. Kala matiano, formerly of Racine, Wis., and Chicago, who is reported to be in a. starving condition and under con stant threat of execution. Mrs. Elizabeth Maria Julia T. Doty, wife of the American consul at Car diff, Wales. Maron Hipman, formerly clerk in the American consulate-general at Moscow. Dr. Lambie. an American dentist, and his wife (address not given). Mrs. Esther M. Hipman of Park Ridge, N. J., has made inquiries at the state department regarding Maron .Hipman. Other Americans, it was said, prob ably are being detained in Russia but the department has been unable to obtain their names. -. "FALL" OF U. S. DEPLORED R. J. H.

Boyd, in speaking before the Progressiv Business Men's club at its regular weekly luncheon yesterday noon the Benson hotel. Dr. Boyd urged that each man become a student of international problems and be able to do his part in placing officials at Washington who will be capable of redeeming the United States from the position into which it has fallen. Dr. Boyd's subject was, "Looking Westward," and he told of some of tho impressions gleaned from sev eral months in Chicago, and of the happiness which it brought to again be on the Pacific coast. In discuss ing the present international situa tion, the Presbyterian divine declared that the great evil of the present day in American politics is little-minded-ness. and urged that men be placed in public office with a breadth of vision and a capacity to handle the international problems in a way that will bring America back into the position of respect and esteem among the nations which she held a year and a half ago. He urged a general hdusecleanlng at Washington as a necessary step towards redeeming America, and de clared that, it was time tne worm problems which America is facing be handled in terms of great and not small mould. While what has been lost since Armistice day cannot be re covered, he declared that much can be done to bring Amerhra back to Its position of world leadership by plac ing men of strong type and broad vision at Washington. senator Thomas, democrat. Colo rado, also attacked the state adju tants, declaring that through their political influence they were able to dictate to the house. Labor Protests Compulsion.
