 Washington, Jan. 19.-After Lud- wig c. A. K. Martens, self styled Rus sian Soviet am ba ssador to the United States, had given a brief personal history of himself and his life in Russia, the senate committee invesu- gating Bolshevik propaganda in the United States adjourned suddenly to- day because it's members had other pressing .engageme ents.
 Just before adjournment, Martens, replying to questions by Chairman Moses, said he had sent many com munications to the state department in his official capacity" as the Soviet ambassador but had never received a reply to any of them. t-..
 Martens appeared with his counsel, former Senator Hardwicll of Georgia, who asked that Martens be not inter- rupted during the trading of his pre- liminary statement.
 Will Submit Statements.
 MT. Martens will also submit great many document in Russian and English to be part of his state nIent,'' Hardwick said. MT. Martens is wholly innocent of any activity or agitation tending to the overthrow of government in this country. He has conducted himself with the strict est of propriety under the rules of international law, and refrained from interference with internal politics. He is glad to be here and answer all your interrogations."
 Martens said he was born in Russia of German parents, and was educated in Russian schools as g, mechanical engineer but never practiced his pro- fession, as he was arrested for aeita- tion against the "governmeDt of the czar."
 ''Tlere was no trial he said, "I wi1s put into jail in 1896, kept there three years and then deported to Germany. There l was put in the army and spent two syesLrs in it.
 Worked as Elg.nccr.
 He said he worked as an engineer until 1905 when he went to Switsfr land to meet old friends Of the social democratic party who were conduct ing revolutionary activities in Rus sia."
 From Switzerland Martens went to England. where he lived for ten years. He said he registered there as an alien enemy after the war began
 
 citizenship was regarded by the British authorities as purely a techni- cal one" He came to the United States in 1916 he said, was admitted upon declaration of his German citi- zenship and went to work as purchas- ing agent for a Russian steel com pany.
 Were you employed by a Russian paper here?" asked Senator Moses.
 Contributed Articles.
 NO, I contributed articles to the Novi Mir Martens answered.
 '"rhat is a socialist paper. I un- derstand it has been closed"
 Senator Moses asked if he had reg istered as German citizen after the United States entered the war.
 No. I had perfected my Russian citizenship before the registration was required Martens responded.
 He put in several certificates given him by the Russian government au- thorizing him as aL Russian citizen to represent it in business, legal and, diplomatic matters. One of them au- thorized him to take over all prop erty of former Russian legations in the United States, and all deposits of Russian government funds in the United States.

RHODE ISLAND ALLOWED
 TO FIGHT AMENDMENT
Supreme Court Permits State to Test Validity of
 Prohibition Laws.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Validity of amendment is to be determined by the supreme court which today grant ed the State of Rhode Island permis- sion to institute original proceedings to test it and enjoin its enforcement in that state.
 The permission was granted by Chief Justice White without comment or fixing any time for hearing argu- ments in the case.
 Motions to bring suit were filed by Attorney General Rice of Rhode Island in response to resolution adopted by the state legislature au- thorizing him to take steps to test the validity not only of the amend ment but of the enforcement of the act.
 In briefs filed in short of the mo- tion Rhode Island authorities ques- toned the validity of the ratification of the amendment and alleged the amendment was an interference with the state police powers and a viola tion of the fifth constitutional amend ment. They allege also that the amendment is usurpatory, unconsti- tutional and void
 Rhode Island was one of the states that refuse to ratify the amendment.
 After the granting of the motion Solicitor General King announced that he would prepare at once and file with the court motion asking for the dismissal of the case for lack of Jurisdiction. Under the courts rules this motion can be ar gued so it is possible for the court to expedite the entire proceedings by passing upon the merits of the case in deciding this motion.
 Providence Jan. 19.-'I am glad the country is going to have this question heard on it's merits, was the comment of Attorney Gen. Rice this afternoon when told that the United States supreme court had granted Rhode Island permission to institute original proceedings to test the .constitutionality of the 18th amendment He said the next step taken by the court would probably be to issue subpoenas against the defendants in the bill and that then the government might make the next move. This, he said would probably be to ask for the dismissal of the
