I MARTENS’ PLACE IN “WHO’S WHO”
“Ambassador” Martens (portrait
herewith) is the center of what may
prove quite a storm. Senator Kenyon
of Iowa introduced a resolution in
part as follows:
“Whereas one Ludwig C. A. K.
Martens claims to be an ambassador
to the United States from the Russian
soviet government; and
“Whereas he refuses to answer
certain questions before the Lusk in
vestigating committee in the city of
New York, on the ground that he is
such ambassador ana entitled to dip
lomatic privileges; and
"Whereas said Martens has head
quarters in the city of New York and
is alleged to be directing propaganda
against this government;
“Resolved, That the committee on
foreign relations is hereby authorized
and directed, through the full commit
tee or through any subcommittee
thereof, to investigate as speedily as
* Die tne status of said Martens, what alleged government or power in
Europe he represents; what, if any, recognition of any kind has heen accord
ed him by this government.”
The resolution was passed, after a long debate, with an amendment by
Senator Borah of Idaho which widens the scope of the investigation to in
clude all facts relative to the activities of any other parties or organizations
bearing upon or relating to Russia or Russian propaganda in this country.”

Evidence of Attempt to Burn Portion I
of Female Body in Furnace Dis
covered—Murder Mystery Baf
fles Police of Denver.
Demer.—The terrified refusal of an
Airedale dog to enter the basement of
a house in this city has brought to
light evidence of what the police au
thorities believe may he the clew7 to
one of the most mysterious crimes in
the history of the city. The right foot
of a young white woman was found in
the furnace and there was abundant
evidence that the rest of the body had
been cremated. Ashes from the fur
nance were found buried in the soft
earth under the back porch.
A bloody corset cover, a black army
necktie with dark stains upon it and
pieces of flannel underwear with ap
parent bloodstains on them, were sift
ed out of the ashes and debris by the
police.
Dog Shows Fright.
The discovery was made by James
McMillan who rented the house and
moved into it a few days before. Mc
Millan tried to put the dog in the
basement, but the animal w’hined and
refused to remain there alone, show
ing every evidence of extreme fright.
The peculiar conduct of the dog de
cided Mr. McMillan to investigate the
cellar. He found the foot and imme
diately notified the police. A hasty in
vestigation by the police quickly con
vinced them that a crime had been
committed. The Airedale refused to
accompany the police to the basement
when they dug over a portion of the
cellar In the expectation of finding
other traces of a body. No bones were
found but oil d paper and ashes were
uncovered in generous quantities. The
police are trying to trace former occu

tery could be gleaned from neighbors.
Chopped and Burned.
The theory of the police is that the
foot was a portion of a body that was
carefully chopped and burned, pre
sumably while the house was vacant.
The McMillans moved Into the house
only after all efforts to get another
house had failed. They say the agent
refused to rent the house with an in
spection privilege, and that they had
to pay the rent down before they got
the key. They say the agent hinted
to them that he was forced to evict the
former occupants, but gave no reason.
The McMillans again are*liouse-hunt

church has been found by young men
of this city. Constable Harry Guerin
and Owen Jones raided a dice game
being conducted in the basement of
the Baptist church. When the par
ticipants in the game saw the officers
they threw the dice into a corner,
where they were recovered and taken
to the city hall. E. Crosby, colored,
was the heaviest winner.
Bull Upsets Street Car.
Beaver Falls. Pa.—How a bull
knocked an interurban street car off
the tracks is told by witnesses here.
The animal stood in the center of
the track as the car approached and
refused to budge. Efforts to get the “
animal to one side only enraged it
until tinal'y in a mad rush of fury
It dived ini o the car and derailed it.
There were six passengers aboard,
one of whom was slightly hurt.
Powdered His Nose.
Chicago.—Edward Iwicki’s habit of
using powder on his nose inspired the
quarrels which made life unbearable
te Mrs. Margaret Iwicki. Judge
George F. Barrett granted a divorce.
MARRIAGE IS WOT A JOKE
Wedding Ceremony, Staged ac Lark,
Ties “Husband” and “Wife” for
Life, Rules Court.
\
Trenton, N. J.—A court here has re
fused to annul the marriage of Pearsy
Girvan and Georgiaua Griffin, alias
Georgiana Williams, which Girvan
sought to have set aside on the ground -
that it was contracted as a joke; that
he and the girl had not lived together
after the ceremony; that he had con- '
tributed nothing to her support, and
that she had asked for nothing.
The marriage was performed August
16, *1917, by Rev. Walter Earje Lad
don, a Methodist minister, at Belmar,
where the couple met.
Girvan, in his petition, alleged that
the ceremony was simply a vacation
frolic, that he did not feel bound by
it and he thought the girl also regard
ed it as a joke. .
