Sir: Referring to the Department’s telegram No. 6 of January 21, 6 p.m.,19 I have the honor to report that I received today a letter, dated Budapest, February 13, 1928, from Mr. Laurance Lyon, attorney for Mr. W. N. Keller, stating that the claim of the latter against the Rumanian Government has been settled for $2500. Mr. Lyon further states that Mr. Keller has given to the press the following statement:
“Mr. W. N. Keller, of Oradea Mare states that the Roumanian Government has made a satisfactory settlement of his claim on account of injuries received during the disorders at Oradea Mare, last December. Mr. Keller says, he realizes that he was not the object of any racial or religious demonstration, but that the whole incident simply arose from the fact that several thousand high-spirited students happened to be gathered to one place.”
