Cibrario, son of a Turin lem- on merchant, is living peacefully in |the Devachan Castle here, with a {nobleman as a secretary, while the | Soviet Government is trying to |get from the Italian courts an or- |der for him and the National City Bank of New York to pay $1,000,000. The Russians claim they deposit- ed this money in the New York bank to Cibrario’s order. | The Soviet's case thus far has {not met with great success. It lost ]in the local San Remo court and in the Court of Appeals at Genoa. | Now it is before the Court of Cas- sation at Rome. According to the allegations, Rus- |sia commissioned Cibrario to go |to America and purchase for them | American films and rights. They | deposited a million dollars in the | National City Bank, and told him to use it. Also, according to the Soviet's al- | legations, Cibrario did use it—but |not for the Soviet. He found the |New York weather rather cool and |returned to the sunny Riviera and |San Remo. He carried out his life’s dream by buying the gorgeous De- vachan castle. The Court of Appeals at Genoa decided that the Soviet could not touch the National City Bank, but could still proceed against Cibrario. In this connection it is recalled that the Soviet seized branch of- | fices of the National City bank in | Moscow, Petrograd and Vladivostok, confiscating stocks and bonds, im- _|prisoned the staffs, and never re- turned a dollar. COPS AND CLEANERS POSTPONE ARGUMENT UNTIL AFTER SERIES Unfavorable weather conditions | today resulted in the further post- ponement of the Police Depart- ment-Laundry Workers' baseball game, deferred from Friday night to this evening. It was announced today that a truce has been signed by the managers until after the conclusion of the Little World’s Se- ries, billed to start Sunday after- noon. The game will be played the first favorable evening after the cham- | pionship series ends. Chief of Police G. A. Getchell, alleging the Laun- drymen are scared stiff, predicted the Cops will win in a walk and said he was preparing to challenge |the winners of the Little World's | Series for the Wilson Cup. Grover C. Winn has been made legal advisor to both teams. From Enow until after the game, argu- |ments over rules and regulations are expected to become increasingly numerous. e, —— Alabama collected $7,105,009 1|axes on gasoline in 1929, in | FOURTH STREET i ithe first step to improve Fourth STRIP TO WIDEN | |Buys Ground from Mrs. \ i Palmer to Improve i Street at City Hall The City Council last night took | Street when it ratified an agree- 3menc with Mrs. L.

HUBERT AIRPORT, Mon- treal, Aug. 2—Work of repairing the damaged fin of the British dirigible R-100 is progressing and it seems certain that will be com- pleted without recourse to the Unit- ed States Naval airship facilities at Lakehurst. A new panel has been measured and will soon be ready for lacing into place. After the panel is plac- ed, the dangerous part of the work will begin, .that of “doping” the new fabrie, gluing and painting the patch. The fin was ripped during 2 storm in the St. Lawrence River Valley while the giant ship was on the flight from Cardington, Fngland, to Canada. PLANES FOR ° " SUBMARINES Construction Is Ordered by U.
