Soviet Has IS o Standing
In Court, Jurists Rule
Can*t Collect in Tbis Country
From Jacques Cibrario? Film
Producer, Is Decision
Rerernlng a decision of the Supreme
Court, the Appellate Division yesterday
held that the Russian Soviet govern?
ment had no standing in the court? of
I this state.' The appeal wan on the ?p
j pointment of a receiver for Jacques
Roberto Cibrario, motion picture pro?
ducer, who wan sued by the Russian
government over sorno funds intrusted
to him under a contract to supply edu?
cational films for Russia.
"The. plaintiff never having been rec?
ognized Bs a sovereignty by the ?ecu
tlve or legislative branches of th?
United States government," ??id th<
Appellate Division, "ha? no capacity t?
sue in the courts of this state."
The decision of the higher cour
added: "Whenever the question ha
been raised in this state it has bee
held that the teat of tne right of :
i'oreign sovereignty to sue in ou
j courts is its recognition by our ow;
i government. The plaintiff is unable t
? show any acts of recognition by th
? government of this country. On th
? contrary, the record proves that, so fa
! as this country is concerned, the plaiir
! tiff is non-existent as a sovereignty."
Abuses at Ellis Island
Before Gdiinet Meeting
President Join? in Dincussion
of Tbeir "Human Side"; May
Extend Operation of Law
Prom Th* Triouna'? Wqahington Surta?
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.?The immi?
gration question cropped un again at
to-day's meeting of th? President and
his Cabinet. The chief phase consid?
ered was in connection with the recep?
tion accorded incoming foreigner? at
ports in this country, and more par?
ticularly at Ellis Island. The practice
of certain steamship companies in
dumping more than the legal allotment
of residents from foreign countries
Into Ellin Island resulted in a number
of hardships, it was brought out atthc
meeting. ?'?
What the President terms the "h??
j man side" of the abuses at Ellis Islari'J
and other ports was di?cussod an;?
I sui_-pestions put forward designed tr
remedy conditions. The present immi
gration bill permitting but 3 per cen|
of the 1910 quota of aliens from an?
one country landing hero was enact?*?;
to cover only a year's time. The quos
tion came up at the Cabinet meeting a
to whether the President will recom
mend to Congress the application o
this law for a term of years, and th?
inference pained was that as the situa
tion stands now the President wil
probably ask for such legislation.
The feeling prevails among the mem
hors of -the Cabinet, however, that i
is too early yet to stipulate just wha
further regulations governing immi
gration will concern. The terms of th
present legislation, kno?ivn as the Dil
' lingham bill, cover the immijrratio
situation until next June.
Cuban Army Dons Overalls
And Is 'Polishing Up' Havana
HAVANA, Dec. 16.?The Cuban army
was called out to-day to polish up
Havana.
Instead of acting as armed guards
for truckloads of convict?, who, during
the last four days have been pressed
into service during a strike of street
cleaners and garbage collectors, the
regulars from the Havana garrison
donned overalls and wielded brushes
and brooms on the littered street.
The strikers, instead of returning to
work last nifrht, as had been expected,
announced that until back w?gcs for
more than two months had heen paid
in full they would continue their vaca?
tion, begun last Sunday night.
?'Tom" Smith, Tammany
Secretary, Is Recovering
Public Administrator Thomas P,
Smith, secretary of Tammany Hall, who
underwent *> surgical operation on
Tuesday night at Dr. A. R. Stern's
Sanatorium, w'e'-'t End Avenue and
Seventy-seventh Street, for an intes?
tinal trouble, showed marked improve?
ment yesterday.
Dr. John F. Erdmann, the surgeon in
charge, said his temperature was re?
ceding. The technical name of the ail- i
ment, it seems, is diverticulltis.
Senate Passes China Trade
Bill; Deletes Tax Exemption
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.?The China

ed by the House for granting tax ex?
emption privileges to American cor?
porations doing business in China
