Precious Stones, Supposed to Have
Formed Part Of Famous Jewels Of
Russian Royal Family, Un-
earthed by Federal Officers.

WashingtOn.-Traffic by bolshevist

ofhcials in New York July %, 1t be-
came known, were inclosed in a pack
age addressed to "Comrade Martens"

began an investigation which they de-
clare has definitely connected Ludwig
q. A. X. Martens, self-styled soviet am
bassador to the United States, with the
traffic.
Disclosure of the fact that the pack
age was intended for soviet agents in
this country was withheld by customs
authorities when Jacobsen was arrest
ed, although the details as to the seiz-
ure of the jewels themselves were then
made public.

Jacobsen, officials say, identified
during the course of the investigation
a photograph of Santeri Nuorteva, for
mer secretary of Martens as "a person
to whom previous packages had been
delivered.
Introduction of the alleged incrimi-
natory evidence of the traffic in pre-
cious stones between soviet representa-
tives in this country and abroad at the
last hearing in the last deportation
proceedings against Martens resulted
In postponemcnt of further hearings to
enable the self-styled ambassador to
obtain evidence, if possible, in refuta-
