WASHIXGTON'. Feb. 18. Vigorous
cross-examination of Ludwig C. A. "K.
Martens. Russian soviet "ambassador"
to the United States, began before the
senate investigating' committee today
ith Wade Kllis. counsel for the com
mittee, apparently bent on develop
ing the extent to which the witness
might have been connected with rev

try since he received his appointment
from the soviet government.
Throughout the examination Mar

The witness said he had not incited
revolution in the united Mates, ana
'. Mr. Ellis produced a letter signed by
' Lenine. soviet premier, aatea janu
ary, 1919, urging American working
'. men to establish a soviet government
and "overthrow" reactionary leaders
"like Gompers" and also overthrow
' "bourgeoisie parliaments."
Martens said the letter did not
come through him, but added that
'under certain circumstances such
letter might be Justified." The letter
was "war propaganda." he said, add
ing that "Russia was at war with all
powers during the last two years."
"The United States did not declare
war on Russia, did Itr asked Senator
Brandegee. republican. Connecticut.
"It made war without declaring it,"
the witness said.
Mr. Ellis called attention to the
third Internationale in Moscow March,
1919. "long after your establishment
here." He read the manifesto drawn
up at Moscow and signed by Lenine
and Trotsky. Martens said he was
"not concerned" with what Lenine
wrote "as a member of the commu
nist party," but added that personally
he agreed with it.
"I don't want any camouflage about
this," he said. "I am a communist and
support the principles of that party."
Martens insisted that the third In
ternationale was "not the soviet gov

which affirmed the intent of the
"Russian government to come to the
aid of the left wing of workers in
every country, regardless of whether
at war with Russia or not, and ap
propriates two million rubles for the
purpose."
"I think much more than that was
appropriated," Martens said. "At the
time Russia was at war it was justi

much more than that to Incite revolu

Necessity for Continuation of Grain

Final Hearing.
WASHXGTON, Feb. 18. Abolition

by the Gronna bill, would work great
hardship on wheatgrowers and ulti-
resentative Summers, republican,
Washington, today told the senate
agriculture committee.
There could be no export of Ameri
can wheat were the grain corpora
tion abolished, he said, and the result
would be the dumping of large quan
tities of wheat on the domestic
market with extremely low prices
and actual loss to the farmers and
consequent decreased wheat acreage
In the future. The consumer would
suffer from the resulting wheat
shortage, he declared.

Faculty Members to Petition
Additional Rise Because)
of Living Costs.
PULLMAN. Wash., Feb. IS. (Spe
cial.): Substantial salary Increases,
ranging from S to 2a per cent accord
ing to length of service and general
co-operative value to the college, were
granted today to the faculty by the
board of regents of Washington State
college in session here. The Increases
were granted on the basis of claims
submitted by the faculty committee
recently which showed that approxl
mately 75 per cent of the married
professors were receiving but a bare
living wage. The new increase will
be proportioned according to time of
affiliation with the institution.
amount of research and original work
accomplished during that time and to
instructional abilities.
Although the news of the Increase
was welcomed by the faculty mem
bers, nevertheless it was stated by
several prominent ' .professors Fodajr
following the report that the Increase
has not commensurate with the in
creased cost of living. It was also
indicated that other colleges In the
west were giving higher remunera
tions and the faculty of the college
would Immediately petition for a still
greater increase on the grounds that
the present boost does not raise the
average salary to that given in other
western Institutions where no in
creases have as yet been granted.
The board of regents appointed a
committee to co-operate with . the
Pullman chamber of commerce to im
mediately inaugurate a campaign for
funds wherewith to construct a men's
and women's dormitory at approxi
mate costs of $76,000 and $45,000 re
spectively. It was shown that the
further growth of the college is In
danger unless such buildings are
erected before the next session of the
state legislature, which will be asked
to appropriate funds to take over the
completed buildings.

FIFTH HUSBAND TAKEN
Negro Widow, 40, Embarks Again
on Matrimonial Voyage.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 18.
(Special,) Two negroes were mar
ried here today. The bride- had" been
married four times before and the
bridegroom once before.
They brought their own minister,
and the ceremony was performed in
the county courthouse:
and a directed verdict in erch in
stance, alleging insufficiency of evi
dence. At the resumption of court
this afternoon counsel for state and
defense argued the motion for dismissal.
W. H Abel, special prosecutor, and
C. D. Cunningham contested the mo
tion- of the defense, whicu was partic
ularly stressed in the instance of El
mer Smith, defendant, the Centralia
attorney who is alleged to have been
a party to the conspiracy of the I. W.
W. and to have approved their plans
for defense.
Faulkner Alone Freed.
There was specific argument for
and against the release of Smith,
Bert Faulkner, Mike Sheehan and
Ray Becker the defense contending
that no evidence had been produced
by the state to warrant the charge
against these defendants. The appli
cation for dismissal, however, was
inclusive of all the defendants.
Judge Wilson denied all the mo
tions, with the exception of that per
taining to Faulkner, ordering a re
cess while he took this under ad
visement. When court reconvened
Judge Wilson made the ruling that
removed Faulkner from the shadow
of the gallows
The defense will open its case with
testimony tomorrow morning, seek
ing to establish the basis for its plea
of self-defense and offering testi
mony that the I. W. W. hall was
raided by the marching legionnaires
before the radicals opened fire. Van
derveer, counsel for the I. W. W., has
declared that he will prove conspiracy
on the part of Centralia business men
to raid the hall on armistice aay.
Alienist to Testify First.
It is indicated thathe opening day
for the defense will be marked by
the testimony of Dr. Arthur C. Cal
houn, alienist, of Seattle, who has
been called to testify regarding the
alleged insanity of Loren Roberta
defendant the author of two confes
sions which implicate others of the
accused men in the commission of the
Centralis crime.
The defense will alsd" attempt, in its
opening testimony to establish an
alibi for Eugene Barnett, defendant
alleged by the state to have been one
of the riflemen stationed in the Ava
lon hotel, whence came the heavy
caliber bullet that killed Grimm.
Witnesses for the state have identi
fied Barnett as the rifleman who
leaned from a window of the Avalon
ana wno was later seen to emerge
from the alley at the rear, reloading
his rifle. The defense declares that
it will prove Barnett was in the lobby
of the Roderick hotel during the
fight.
Faulkaer Merely- There.
The testimony relative to Faulkner
had been that he was aware of im-.
pending trouble at the I. W. W. hail
on Armistice day and that he went
home and left his I. W. W. member-
while incarcerated and that he signed I
both. They did not differ materially,
the witness testified, and were made
voluntarily, without the stimulus of
threat or promise.
"We now demand that the state
ments be produced in order that the
jury may see what they were," said
Vanderveer.
Both W. H. Abel and C. D. Cunning
bam replied that the statements had
been in their possession up to several
days ago. but since had been lost.
They had made effort in rood faith to
find the statements, but were unable
to locate them.
Copies of the two statements, dif
fering in no material aspect from the
direct testimony of Morgan, have been
in the possession of the newspaper
men for several days past. One of
the statements was published in its
entirety in the Aberdeen World. Since
these copies were made both state
ments have disappeared. '
That the firing from the I. W. W.
rifles sounded like machine-gun fire
was the expert testimony of Cecil
Key of Centralis, who was for five
months on the firing line overseas
and who was gassed at Chateau
Thierry. He testified that he was in
the last platoon, of the Centralia con
tingent and yiat the first two or
three shots, according to his impres
sion, came from the L W. W. ball.
Women Are Called.
Emery Coleman, Centralia legion
naire in the parade, testified that he
did not know where the I. W. W.
hall was at the time firing began.
The shots were general and in rapid
sequence, so that he could not say
from which direction the first one
was fired.
With three women companions and
her 'two children, Mrs. Helen Schoel
of Chehalis drove the first Red Cross
automobile behind the Centralia con
tingent. She heard two or three shots
and- then the volley, but could not
determine the source. On cross
examination the witness said that she
noticed no firing from the Arnold
hotel, but that her attention was oc
cupied in driving the car.
She turned the, car to the Tower
avenue curb at the corner of the
Variety store, where Arthur McEl-1
fresh had fallen. As a trained nurse
Mrs. Schoel ran to the stricken le
gionnaire. "What' was the condition of that
boy as he lay there?" asked Abel.
"He was dead."
Mrs. Anna Whitmarsh. Chehalis.
who drove another Red Cross car,
testified that she heard 50 or 60 shots,
and that they seemed for the most
part to come from the direction of the
Variety store, which adjoins the I.
W. W. hall to the north. She had
seen no firing from the Arnold hotel.
The defense Is taking photograpns
of Tower avenue and the buildings
figuring in the testimony, for use In
its own case. Centralia photographers
refused the order for photographs,
the defense declares.

Mr. Frank Harbaugh of Cincin

the following statement:
"Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home, at very little coat, that
will darken gray hair, and make it
soft and glossy. To a half-pint of
water add 1 ounce bay rum, a small
box of Barbo Compound and 4 ounce
glycerine. These ingredients can be
bought at any drug store at very lit
tle cost. Apply to the hair twice a
week until the desired shade la ob
tained. This will make a gray haired
person look twenty years younger.

I opened, but was without a weapon
and readily submitted to capture. He
had told companions that he did not
believe there would be a aid, and
that their preparations for resistance
were unnecessary.
It was upon this evidence that the
defense asked for dismissal. -
The state resisted with the conten
tion that Faulkner's prior knowledge
of I. W. W. preparations and his act
in secreting his card as a measure
of caution showed pre-concert in the
plans of the radicals, whilo his pres
ence at the hall during the commis
sion of the crime was clearly estab
lished. "The right of self-defense does not
go to the extent of stationing men
in other places to shoot," declared
W. H. Abel, special prosecutor, ar
guing against the motion for the
freedom of Elmer Smith. "A man has
the right to defend his home, but he
surely has not the right to fortify
the neighborhood and shoot indis
criminately into the street.
"The stationing of men outside that
hall and the shooting of men down
from such stations was an act of
murder and Elmer Smith had full
knowledge of that plan."
Ball Denied Attorney.
Judge Wilson also denied a re
newed application for the admission
of Elmer Smith to bail, after Vander
veer had pleaded that Smith, appear
ing also as his own attorney in the
case, should be permitted a wide
range of liberty In order that he
might prepare and supervise his de
fense. At 11 o'clock this morning the state
concluded examinations of witnesses
and signified that its case was at a
close.
"The state rests," said C. D. Cun
ningham, special prosecution, imme
diately following the introduction, as
evidence, of a shattered window pane
from the Arnold hotel.
The defense will begin its case with
the introduction of testimony designed
to prove the plea of self-defense and
to establish the contentions that
legionaires in the parade rushed the
I. W. W. hall, according to a pre-arranged
plan, before fighting was
opened on the ranks. At least 100 wit
nesses will be summoned has been the
statement of the defense.
Many Witnesses ITnhearn.
At' the close of the case by the
defense the prosecution has indicated
that it will call scores of witnesses
in rebuttal.
This testimony in rebuttal, it i
said, has been reserved to impeach
the testimony that the defense is ex
pected to bring forward In support
of its assertion that the hall waa at
tacked and that the defendants ex
ercised their right to defend the prop
erty. Seven witnesses were examined this
morning in the conclusion of the
state's case. Their testimony was
largely corroborative, though two
were recalled for cross-examination
by the defense.
John F. Berry, sheriff of Lewis
county, recalled, testified that he had
been unable to trace the sale of the
38.55-caliber Winchester rifle, which
the state alleges was the weapon that
killed Grimm and alleges was fired
from the Avalon hotel, probably by
Eugene Barnett.
Statements Are Demanded.
Tom C. Morgan. 19, who was cap
tured in the L W. W. hall after the
shooting, but against whom the
original charges were dismissed and
who has testified for the state rela
tive to what happened in the hall im
mediately before the firing opened,
was recalled for cross-examination.
Morgan testified that he had made
two statements to the prosecution
