MARTENS Is RECALLED BY
THE SOVIET AUTHORITIES
Ambassador" May Not Be Permitted
to Leave Pending Disposition
of Deportation Case.

Washington, ID. C.-Ludwig G. A.
X. Martens, who for more than fifteen
months has been in the United States
as self-styled Russian ambassador, has
been recalled by the soviet authori-
ties, it was learned in official circles.
Martens confidential secretary,
Sanford N%uorteva, left the United
States several weeks ago by way OF
Canada and now is believed to be at
tending the conferences being held in
England by Gregory Krassin, bolshe-
yik minister of commerce, 1t vas said
by department OF justice officials.
Martens recall, it was stated by
those acquainted with the facts in
the case, : was at his solicitation.
Neither the Ambassador" nor those
who have been associated with him
were prepared to say whether the
soviet authorities would send another
representative to the United States
and make another attempt to obtain
semi-recognition through that means.
Martens on his arrival in the United
oldlSo III NldICu, 1917, Scul CiCuSh
tials to the state department but no
attention was given them by the de-
partment.
At present Martens is involved in
deportation proceedings conducted by
department Of labor officials. The
hearings were adjourned until July
8, when they are expected to be con-
cluded and the decision referred to
Assistant Secretary of Labor Post
and finally to President Wilson for
approval. Officials declined to say
whether Martens would be permitted
TO leave the country pending final
disposition Of the deportation action.
The soviet agent previous to the
present proceedings was a central
figure in an investigation by a senate
committee which inquired into bolshe-
vik activities in the United States.
The senate committee in it's report
held that Martens was a German sub
ject and that his activities were such
as to make him suitable for investi-
cation and action by the department
of justice.

THREE NEGROES LYNCHED
BY A DULUTH, MINI, MOB
Not a Shot Fired During Attack, the
Assailants Using Bricks, Clubs,
and Streams Of Water.

Duluth, Minn.-Three negroes were
lynched here by a mob estimated at
5000 persons, which overpowerad the
police, took possession of police head
quarters and seized six negroes n
we're held in c%innection with an at
tack on a young white girl.
Not a shot was fired in the attack
on the police station, the members OF
the mob using bricks and other mis-
siles, and In the final stages OF the
fight streams Of water from fire hose
taken from the police themselves.
A mock trial was held by the mob
in the station and three Of the negroes
were found guilty and the three others
also held in connection with h as
sault were acquitted and turned back
to the police.
Shortly after midnight the mob still
surrounded the police station, but
there was no indication OF further
trouble. The police believed the mop
would dispense in a few hours without
further disorder.
Eight policemen and a newspaper
reported suffered minor injuries in
the attack on the police station. They
were hit by bricks or other missiles or
were swept off their feet and severely
bumped in the water fight.
1t was reported that three or -FOUR
trucks and automobiles loaded with
members Of the mob had started
toward the town Of Virginia, where 1t
was said four other negroes had beer
arrested in connection with the same
case.
The negroes were roustabouts with
a circus that appeared here and the
alleged attack on the 17-year-old white
girl took place on the circus grounds.
The circus had moved on to Virginia
and it was said eight negroes were
taken into custody there, but only
four held.
One report was that the Virginia
authorities and John Murphy, Duluth's
chief of police, had started back to
Duluth with these four suspects be
fore the mob trouble broke here, but
it is understood the party has been
diverted to another city.
The negroes hanged were Isaac Nc
Chic, Elmer Jackson and Nate Green,
all about 20 years old. All protested
their innocence.
First indications the downtown dis
trict received Of trouble brewing
came when trucks loaded with men
dashed up and down the principal
streets, the men calling for volun-
teers to avenge the wrong done the
white girl"
There was a ready response and il
was estimated the mob numbered
5000. Then the storming Of the jail
began.

CLASH AGAIN
IN THE windy CITY
TWO WHITES KILLED DURING
THE ENCOUNTER.
NUMBER OF OTHER INJURED
Trouble Follows Report That Flag
had Been Burned by Band
Of Blacks.

Shieago.-Roiting which is believed
10 have started over attempts by
negroes and sailors to ayenge an al
ieged insult TO the American flag by
members OF a society advocating the
return OF negroes to Africa, resulted
In. the death of two white men, one a
sailor, the wounding, probably fatally,
OF a negro policeman, and injuries to
several other persons.
Investigations conducted by the po
lice brought forth evidence which they
said pointed to an organized attempt
on the part of the negro organization
known as the back to Abbyssinia
movement" TO p~recipitate trouble,
while other reports were that the
trouble was started by a group OF
sailors who jeered and hooted at a
parade Of negroes.
II was caid that as the parade dis.
banded, several Of the negroes gath
cred about the flag, set fire to It and
then opened fire on it with revolvers.
Several sailors and negroes are said
TO have rushed from nearby pool halls
and demonstrated with the Abyssin-
ians.
Joseph p. Owens, a negro policeman,
attempted to arrest m OF them and
was shot through the back. Whether
Owens fired first is not known, but
n volley Of shot followed his attempt
to arrest the negro. r. l.. Rose, a
sailor of ] company, Fifteenth regi-
ment, who got into the trouble, was
shot through the heart and Joseph
Hoyt, a cigar dealer, who rushed from
his store when he heard the shots,
was shot through the head, both dy-
ing instantly. Owens condition is
critical.
This version of the affair Is the n
generally accepted by the police, but
negro witnesses say that the insult
10 the flag was caused by a group Of
sailors jeering the %paraders and that
the flag burning was meant as a de-
fiance TO the sailors personally and not
as an insult to the country.
Hardly had the first shot been fired
when many OF the %parading negroes
rushed to a nearby automobile and
grabbed rifles which were cached
th ere, according to the police. Within
O rev moments more than a thousand
negroes had gathered. Police lines
were formed and after an hour or
two the district, which was the scene
OF rioting a year ago when more than
thirty whites and negroes were killed,
was quiet.
The trouble occurred at T~hirty-fifth
street and Indiana avenue near the
GENE of last years race riots, in
which more than thirty whites and
blacks we're killed and hundreds in
jured.
Police declared that they probably
never would know the exact number
wounded. Several were carried off by
friends, II was believed for the parad-
Ing negroes disappeared rapidly after
the first shots.
