SUIT IS DISMISSED
Supreme Court Lacks Juris.
diction in Case Involving
Status of Soviet.

The Supreme Court dismissed to-
day for want of jurisdiction a case
against the Russian Socialist Federated
Soviet Republic9 brought by NJ. Wulf-
sohn & Co, raising the question
whether the Soviet can be sued in
the courts of this country.
The plaintiff sought to recover for
property it alleged the Russian Soviet
Republic had taken. The New York

government existed, although it had
not been recognized by this govern
ment but that it could not be sued
without it's consent.
Railroad Suit Lost.
Western railroads lost in the Su-
preme Court today their fight to COM
pei the Terminal Railroad Association
at St Louis to revise its present prac-
tiCes.
The Western roads had contended
that although some of them had
proprietary interests in the Terminal
Association, the Eastern railroads
were given material advantages over
them in the matter of terminal
charges.
The Terminal Association was held
by the Supreme Court not to be in
contempt, aS charged, because of fall
ure to carry into effect the mandate
i
which it was found to be a combina-
tion in violation of the antitrust law.
The substance of the courts opin-
ion was that questions relating to
the reasonableness of charges and
the division of rates should be sub
mitted in the first instance to the In
terstate Commerce Commission be-
cause the questions were legislative
and not judicial In advance of ac-

pendent Wireless Telegraph Com
pany for alleged infringement of a

Company.
The Federal Circuit Court Of APP
peals in New York held that under

"INTERPRETER" OF FRANCE
Writer Showed Nations Real Life

In the passing of Anatole France
there Is lost to France and to the
whole world the genius of a man who
as interpreter Of the French spirit
during the past so years, has been
without rival. He wrote for France
but the whole world read him. and the
world united in commencing him in
heartfelt phrases on the occasion OF

Macdonald said of him in 1924
There IS not any living writer who
is so fully appreciated in his own
country, or who has interpreted in so
durable manner the luminous
beauty and human sympathy OF

The writings of Anatole France are
known for their imaginative and deli
cate grace. the simplicity of his style
and its beautiful translucency OF

the Imagination, with it's lies, that
sows all the beauty and the virtue in
the world. We are great only through
our imagination"

France was a great French literary
master, yet he was a very human man,
given to gossip, serious about small
things, light-hearted about weighty mat
ters, tolerant, kindly and just, and a
most charming conversationalist Thus
he came to be called 'le bon rnaitre''
by his friends.
