THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 1920 PAGE TWO RUSSIAN SOVIETS RECALL MARTENS AS: 'AMBASSADOR' WASHINGTON. June IS. Ludwig C. A. K. Martens, who for more than 15 months has been in the United States as the self-styled Russian soviet ambassador, has been recalled by the soviet authorities, it was learned to night in official circles. Martens confidential secretary, San- ford Nuorteva, left the United States several weeks agro by way of Canada and now Is believed to be attending the conferences being held in England by Gregory Krassin, bolshevik minis ter of commerce, it was said tonight by department of justice officials. Martens' recall, it was stated by those acquainted with the facts in the case, was at his solicitation. Neither the ''ambassador" nor those who have been associated with him were pre pared to say whether the soviet au thorities would send another repre sentative to the United States and make another attempt to obtain semi- recognition through that means. Martens, on his arrival in the United States in March, 1919, sent credentials to the state department, but no atten tion was given them by the depart ment. At present. Martens is involved in deportation proceedings conducted by department of labor officials. The hearings were adjourned yesterday un til July 8. when they were expected to be concluded and the decision referred to Assistant Secretary of Labor Post ind finally to President Wilson for lpproval. Officials tonight declined to ay whether Martens would be permit 'ed to leave the country pending final lisposition of the deportation action. The soviet agent, previous to the present proceedings, was a central fig ure in an investigation by a senate committee which inquired into bolshe vik ;ictivities in the United States. The senate committee, in its report, hold that Martens was a Gorman sub ject and that his activities were such as to make him suitable for investiga tion and action by the department of ju.sticc. A warrant for the arre.t of Martens was issued by the department of jus tice prior to the senate investigation, but action on it was waived during that inquiry and during the labor de partment's proceedings. Nuorteva, for a time while depart ment of justice agents were seeking Martens, acted as his principal "spokesman." Officials generally refused toriight to conjecture how Nuorteva was able to leave Canada but in one official quar ter it was suggested that if he were attending the Krassin conferences in London, Canadian immigration offi cials may have been instructed to al low him to take passage on a steamer from a Canadian port.

PHOENIX, '"ARIZONA Watch for Saturday and Monday Special in this Paper TEAS DON'T CET VOTES, WOMEN AT MEETING LE ARM 'republican A. P. Leased Wire DES MOINKS. June IS. Teas don't Ki?t votes, Mrs. Edward Franklin White of Indianapolis, chairman of the civics committee of the General Federation Of Women's Clubs, said today at the biennial convention. She advised the women to "cut out the teas," if they expect to enter and continue in poli tics successfully. "The teas at Chicago were one rea son, I believe, why the men did not rate us women higher politically. All you heard among the women was teas," Mrs. White said. "You don't get votes that way and that is the only thing that counts in a political organization. ''What does it mean to be a good politician? To be able- to deliver the votes. How many women can deliver the votes in their precincts? Until you can you are not ready for the rfyik and file of the political organization." Mrs. White added she would rather be chairman of a precinct in preference to any other office in a party, and after fhe had made good in that place she would ask. for something higher. Attacks Sex Plays Mrs. Guy Blanchard, in charge of the motion picture department of the federation, today urged legislation gen erally for better exhibits and films. "The sex plays which are being shown generally are directly respon sible for much of the juvenile delin quency of today,' she said. "You have found that you can ex pect no help from the newspapers be cause they are choked off by their fi nancial interests in the movie adver tising. But you can agitate the matter strongly by word of mouth. "There is no industry which takes so" much of the public's money and makes so small a return to the public good as the motion picture industry." A telegram from the representatives of the motion picture companies was read which said the producers realized the desire of the public for higher types of pictures and were preparing to co-operate. ABOUT THE STATE WATER POWER BILL BECDNLES LAW AFTEfl TEN YEARS' EFFORT jM Pn 'd 'V unoiiqndaa WASHINGTON, June 18 The wa- terpower development bill, 10 years in the making, finally has become law. Announcement that President Wilson had signed the measure prior to June 11 was made today at the white house. At the fame time it was announced that he had failed sign the Joint resolution repealing most of the war time laws and the Underwood resolu tion providing for negotiations with Canada relating to the embargo on the shipment of wood pulp to the United States. Another bill which failed to receive the president's approval would have authorized the war department to transfer motor equipment to the de partment of agriculture for road con struction and other work. Besides the waterpower measure, the president signed seven bills, passed in the closing days of the recent session of congress. They included an act au thorizing the enlitment in the naval and army service of non-English speaking aliens, an act paying a navyT yard worker for loss of a set of false teeth and five bridge bills. No explanation of the delay in an nouncing the president's approval ot the waterpower measure was made. Alleged Smuggler Caught NOG A DCS Camilo Baragas, said to J be from Phoenix, is languishing in the connnes of the county jail in Nogales on a federal charge of attempting to smuggle ammunition across the line. The prisoner was taken into custody as he left the stage from Tucson, United States Officer Jack Noonan making the arrest.

Increase Passport Fee DOUGLAS That the fee for de partmental passports would be ad vanced to $10. $1 for executing applica tion and $9 for each passport issued, commencing June 25. was an an nouncement made by W. W. Edwards. American consul in Agua Prieta, who comes under the head of the chief of ficer in Nogales. . It is of interest to many of Douglas merchants to know that border permits will be issued as heretofore at the same expense of $1 for the photograph. 30 cents ilexican revenue stamps and $2.50 for the signature of the Mexican consul. It was thought before that with the $10 law in effect, the Douglas merchants and other border points would lose a great amount of business from the Mexican people residing across the line on account of their in ability to purchase the passport at such a rate.

At the samo time the river had risen at Needles .01 of a foot and is 9.8 rfet on the gauge at that place or w;tiin .05 of a foot of the peak that was reached there ten days ago. That there is another big river ahead of Yuma ana headed towards us is certain, but it is not at all likely that the river will reach the stage on the second rise that it reached last week. The new rise from Needles is due to make its appearance at Yuma Friday or Saturday. Morning Star. Need More Workman MIAMI C. R.
