PRIZES HIS CODE

When the committee demanded copies of the actual governmental instructions to that effect former Senator Hard wick of Georgia, attorney for the soviet bureau, argued that to give them might disclose the code in which the soviet foreign office corresponded with Mar tens. which should be entitled to inn munity, but promised notwithstanding to furnish them in the original or in sworn transitions.
 An adjournment was taken till Thurs day, partly to let Martens examine This records for that purpose. t~F
 Martens also told the committee that the soviet government had 3450, 900, 900 or $500, 000,0 900 in gold to spend in for eign trade, stating briefly that there was little or no gold in the hands of private banks or individuals" and that about 100000 American concerns were ready to sell it goods.
 Much of Martens testimony took the form of Ia written statement, though he was interrupted constantly in it's read ings by the sharply put questions of his senatorial auditors. Besides entering his denial of charges that he had par ticipated in financing revolutionary ac- tivities in the United States, the witness said he was spending s25oo a week on the maintenance of an organization. of some 35 employees. He gave the com mittee names and addresses of all of them, including American clerks and stenographers and press agents.

 Senator Borah inquired as to the soviet Russia" publications mailability, and when Martens replied that Post master General Burleson had never ob- jected to it's circulation, the senator re- marked grimly amidst laughter in the hearing room that "it must be all right"
 Martens incidentally told of his en- deavors to secure title to property of Russian consular agents and diplomatic representatives already in the country but said he had not pressed the matter in the courts, because the state depart ment had not recognized him. Senator Moses warned Martens at the conclusion of the session that he was still to re- gard himself as in custody until the in- ouiry was resumed.
