WASHINGTON. Aug. IS. (By the
Associated Press.) Traffic by bolshe
vlst agents in precious stones sup
posed to be part of the famous jewels
of the Russian royal family has been
unearthed by federal authorities. One
hundred and thirty-one diamonds
found on Neils Jacobsen, a Swedish
sailor, by customs officials in New
York July 23, it became known today,
were enclosed in a package addressed
to "Comrade Martens." Federal of
ficials began an Investigation which
they declare has definitely connected
Ludwig Martens, self-styled soviet
ambassador to the United States, with
the traffic. Disclosure that the pack
age was intended for soviet agents
was withheld when Jacobsen was ar
rested, although details of the seizure
of the jewels were then made public.
MartfM' Secretary Identified.
Jacobsen, officials said today. Iden
tified during the investigation a pho
tograph of Santeri Nuorteva, former
secretary of Martens, as a person to
whom previous packages had been
delivered.
Introduction of the alleged Incrim
inatory evidence of traffic in precious
stones between soviet representatives
here and abroad at the hearing In the
last deportation proceedings against
Martens resulted in postponement of
further hearings until August 30 to
enable Martens to obtain evidence to
refute the charges.
The smuggling begun six months
ago Is described by government offi
cials as the most perfectly organized
courier service between soviet agents
abroad and in the United States yet
discovered.
Knclosed about the diamonds taken
from Jacobsen, whom officials exon
erated from complicity in the illegal
proceedings, was a quantity of com
munist literature, including an "ap
peal of the executive committee of
the third international at Moscow to
the I. W. W."
Workers Urged to Revolt.
This manifesto declared: "Unless
the workers of other countries rise
against their own capitalists the,
Kussian revolution cannot last.
Among the mass of documents
found on Jacobsen was an envelope
addressed to "Comrade Martens
which contained another envelope
marked "Hilia"; within that was one
marked "M" and a fourth containing
the diamonds marked "CQ" and
typewritten note. The sailor deposed
before the customs authorities; ac
cording to department of justice offi
cials, that he had been engaged in
similar missions for six months,
having been approached In Gothen
beig, Sweden, by a Swede named
Koglemark. He is said to have been
promised $15 for carrying each
package.
Dummy Package TJsed.
According to officials, Jacobsen da
llvered the packages In New York to
a Mrs. Xeinanen. Jacobsen's deposi
tion recites she turned over the pack
ages to a "short stout man." This
man was identified by the sailor as
Santeri Nuorteva former private sec

escaped from the United States and
later was deported to Russia from

a customs guard, dressed as a
sailor, accompanied Jacobsen to de

FINNS SIGN ARMISTICE
Agreement With Russia Reached
by Envoys at Dorpat.
HELSINGFORS. Finland. Aug. 13.
An armistice between Finland and
Russia was signed at Dorpat today,
Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher, who
recently received nation-wide notice
as the Dastor who performed the
marrlatre ceremony of Douglas Fair
banks and Mary Plckford In Los
Angeles and who was formerly pastor
of the White Temple here, arrived in
Portland yesterday for a three-weeks-
stay in Oregon.
Dr. Brougher will occupy the pul
pit at the White Temple In this city
beginning tomorrow and his spare
time will be spent at Gearhart with
his family in their summer home.
When asked regarding the "Doug
and Mary" marriage, Dr. Brougher
laughed and said: "That's an old
story now, but I am witling to make
one or two statements concerning it
In the first place I usually act on
this principle: 'Never explain. Tour
friends-flon't need it and your enemies
won't believe it.'
"Nevertheless. It has always been
my policy never to marry divorced
people unless they meet the scrip
tiiral requirement. I have known
Doug and Mary for five years and
count them my personal friends. I
know the inside facts and could prove
in five minutes to any unprejudiced
person that each had a scriptural
right to remarry.
Marriage Held Justified.
"As to the legal aspect of the ques
tion, the fact that California granted
them their license to remarry settled
tiie question for me. I feel fully Jus
tified in marrying them and believe
that it will be a really happy mar
riage. I shall probably say some
thing on this matter Sunday at the
White Temple."
Dr. Brougher has Just returned
from an extended tour on a Chau
tauqua circuit which took him through
Southern Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri
and Arkansas, during which he de
livered 40 lectures In 40 days on the
theme: "What's Under Tour Hat?"
While he Is In this city he will ad
ess the Women s Ad club and will
deliver one lecture at the White
Temple on: "Keys .and Keyholes.'
,verytning appeared to be pros
perous in the states through which
raveled," said Dr. Brougher. "Crops
eemed to be unusually large. Mis
souri presented an encouraging sight
n the corn belt, in fact, I was in the
midst of corn so much that I go
huBky.
Arkansas Cottoa Good.
In Arkansas there never were finer
crops of cotton than this year. The
great plantations presented a beautl
ful sight, as cotton blossoms appeared
on every hand. There ought to be no
scarcity of cotton this year.
"The great tobacco fields of Ken
tucky indicated that tobacco users
would be well supplied during the
coming year. I saw more fine horses
n Kentucky than in all other states
combined. Kentucky is still famou
for its fine horses and beautiful worn
en and homely men. It is no longe
famous for its fine whisky. They
have exchanged the corkscrew for th
check book. The country in general
in a very prosperous condition as
far as crops, good prices and good
wages are concerned."
In regard to the political situation
in the various states through which
he passed, Dr. Brougher was of the
opinion that if Cox is to be elected
'he will have to carry whisky on one
shoulder and water on the other."

If you were at a theater
And a beautiful girl
With a beautiful back
Directly in front of you,
Seemed to be suffering:
Because it itched
Would you scratch it?
Try it sometime, and see
if you start anything- as
exciting as Rupert Hughes
provides in this picture.
