WASHIXGTON. Jan. 9. Subpoenas were served tonight on L. C. A. K. Martens, self-styled Russian soviet ambassador to the United States, and his secretary and spokesmen, S. Nuor teva. calling for their appearance at the initial hearing Monday of the sen ate foreign relations subcommittee, charged with an Investigation of Rus sian propaganda in the United States. Both accepted the summons. Martens, for whom department of Justice agents have been seeking with a warrant for arrest, it was said at the temporary headquarters here of the "Russian soviet bureau." was served with the-subpoena at the home here of a friend. Subpoena lor the appearance & Nuorteva was served at the office of the "Bureau," The subpoena for Nuorteva -was signed by Senator Moses of New Hampshire, cha'irman of the sub-com- ittee. and was served at the tempor ary headquarters here of the Russian soviet bureau. Members of the sub-committee. which, in addition to- Senator Moses, is composed of Senator Borah of Ida ho and Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, republicans, and Senator Pomerene of Ohio and Senator Shields of Tennes see, democrats, said that the exam ination of Martens and Nuorteva would occupy several sessions. Nuorteva in a recent statement said that Martens was prepared to substantiate charges made by the embassy" that certain planks in the communist and communist labor party platforms, which, he claimed, were the basis of the recent raids and of the present deportation proceedings against members of the party, were framed by department of justice agents.

SOVIET ACTIVITY IS "BLIXD" New York Senator Says Lenine Let ters Are Distributed. ELMIRA. N. T., Jan. 9. The pre tended commercial activity of the soviet : bureau in New York was "a blind for distribution of letters from Lenlne to American working men and the distribution of other propaganda. directed against the government," declared State Senator Clayton R. Lusk in a statement today as chair man of the Joint legislative commit tee investigating radicalism in New York state. Senator Lusk answered the charges In the form of questions which the five socialist assemblymen, as yet un seated in the state assembly, had pre pared to present to the legislature regarding the activities of the' Joint committee. Senator Lusk's statement said in part: . "No one outside of members, coun sel and agents of the committee and state and local officials have had any thing to do -with the so-called raids on the soviet bureau or any other or ganization. No papers seized have been received by any one other than agents of the committee. Any papers seized at the soviet bureau were brought -in evidence before the com mittee in public hearings. "R. N. Nathan (said to be British secret service chief in the United States), never had any. more informa tion to my knowledge, than did the newspaper ,reporters and the public generally. There were no papers of commercial value to anyone. "The sergeant-at-arms of the com mittee is the sergeant-at-arms of the senate. He has never, to ray knowl edge, received money from any source except the state of New York. The Lusk committee is not responsible for the action of the assembly. The speaker of the assembly is a mem ber of the committee and has knowl edge of the evidence against the members. The issue is clean cut. If these men believe in and work to bring about the overthrow of' this government by force and violence, they will undoubtedly be denied their seats. If not, they will be permitted to serve. "These charges against, the com mittee are made by them with the full knowledge of their falsity and solely for distracting the attention of the public from the Issue which is simply whether they personally are advocating and attempting to over throw our government by violence and revolution. They should be held to this issue and given a fair trial." PORTLAND GIRL - SUES SEATTLE MAX IS MARRIED, SO SHE SEEKS $50,000. Miss Edith G. Webster Complainant Against W. II.

Greenfield Declares Sud ' lease for Fourth Street Prem ises Is Xo Longer Open. Litigation over possession of the lease, to the Fourth-street premises now occupied by the Southern Pacific electric station appears to be in pros pect, according to George I Green field, shoe dealer, who is the holder of a 10-year lease to the property. Issued to him by W. A. T. Bushong of the Alder Hotel Investment company, owners, effective March 2 of this year. Until 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon was the limit set by Mr. Greenfield for the acceptance by the Southern Pacific of the sub-lease he had ten- aered to the railroad company at a monthly rental of $1250. Officials of the company made no move to avail themselves of the offer, nor gave any hint as to the attitude they take in the matter, said Mr. Greenfield, who declared that the" time limit would not be renewed. "I made the company a fair offer," said Mr. Greenfield last night. "I was not disposed to oust them or to cause them trouble. But they have declined to deal with me and I antici pate that my. rights will have to be determined in the-usual legal manner after March 1. Farther Delay Not Intended. "Further delay cannot be permitted as the present quarters of my store have been leased by a San Francisco firm, to take possession March L Un less I am enabled to move these peo ple will claim Just damages from me and I in turn will have to take legal recourse In my own Interests against the railroad company." According to Mr. Greenfield, the lease to the Fourth-street depot prop erty has been held by the Southern Pacific on sub-lease from John Yeon at a figure that represented actual loss to the latter. Possession of the premises was gained by Mr. Yeon several years ago, when he took over the unexpired lease of the E. P. Charl ton company, owners of the Wool worth stores, in order to permit the Woolworth people to occupy quarters in the Yeon building.. Monthly Loss Pocketed. The Charlton lease, said Mr. Green field, was for $1150 a month, the amount that Mr. Yeon has paid to the Alder Hotel Investment company dur ing the life of the contract. But in order to find a tenant for the prem ises, after the Woolworth store had been moved to the Yeon building, Mr. Yeon sub-leased to the Southern Pa cific, according to Mr. Greenfield, for $450, pocketing a monthly loss of $700. It is this lease which expires,' through the terms of the old Charl ton contract, at the end of February. W. A. T. Bushonjr. of the Alder Hotel Investment company, says Mr. Greenfield offered the Southern Pa cific a renewal of the lease for a 10-year period, at a figure approxi mating the actual demands of the Charlton lease. This the company de clined, and on October last Mr. Bush ong leased the premises, on and after March 1, to Mr. Greenfield. The latter offered the Southern Pacific a sub lease to the depot quarters, intending to remove his shoe store to the base ment, which is included in the lease. Court Contest Expected. Though Southern Pacific officials have declined to make any statement, other than that they have no present intention of changing the depot loca tion, it is surmised that they will take the question of lesseeshlp into the courts, probably on the grounds that they had an understanding with W. A. T. Bushong relative to an ex tension at the conclusion of thc'ir present term of occupancy. But Mr. Bushong and the Alder Hotel Investment company are ob viously bound to Mr. Greenfield's in terests in the capacity of co-defendants, inasmuch as he holds their lease to the property, which declares thai no other lease is in existence save that of the Charlton company, ex piring March 1.
