After a stormy scene she was eject- ed from'the car at Noyes, and re- turned to Emerson, on th_ ground that her naturalization papers had been rendered null and void by her residence in Russia after they were obtained, Later she was examined is to her citizenship. Apparently she anticipated trouble, for she carried with her the necessary proof that her father was an American citizen. The authorities then permitted her to pass and she went on to St. Paul to -night. The woman conducted her case with lawyer -like skill, and displayed much ingenuity in the cross-examination of the United States officials. It devel- oped she had been under surveil - once of the Washington Secret Ser- vice since arriving in Winnipeg, She left here mysteriously yesterday, ou being informed that Unit d Mates authorities were preparing to prevent her return to the United States. She said to the reporters that she was going direct to New York and would chow her true colors, The Canadian authorities wore much eseyciaed over the apparent deteniiu- anion of the United States to saddle the "Queen of the Reds" on Canada ,and were preparing to make the dent a strong diplomatic affair.
