Flatbush, Morsay, March 42 10 all. 20 CASKS OF GOLD, SHIPPED BY SOVIET, CLAIMED BY FRANCE Suit Filed Here Alleges That $5,201,000 Was Stolen From Imperial Bank of Russia. Twenty crimson caskets containing $5.201,000 in Russian gold today were involved in a complicated legal mesh with their ownership at issue.

Suit was filed by the Bank of France in the Federal Court here to recover the gold bars, which are now held by the Equitable Trust Company and the Chase National Bank. It was based on the assertion that the metal was stolen from the vaults of the State Bank of the Russian Empire after the Bolshevist revolution, according to the Associated Press. The legal aspect was complicated by the fact that American courts have ruled that the Soviet can neither sue nor be sued, since it is not recognized by the United States as being legally an entity. Accordingly, it cannot become a party to any legal action connected with the present suit. Thus trial of the suit was expected to raise many intricate questions of international law and involve attitude of the American Government toward the Soviet Government.

The gold was sent here from Russia last month to facilitate handling of trading between America Russia. When it was presented for assay the Treasury Department refused to receive it unless the two New York banks would guarantee title to it. Taking the position that they were acting as agents only for Russia, the banks refused to do this. The refusal of assay was based on a sevenyear-old embargo Russian gold established because off was held that title to it was not clearly established. LEVINE NOW PLANS TRANS-SEA HOP FOR MISS MABEL BOLL Keeps New Flight Destination Secret of Diamonds" to Go in April or May.

Palm Beach, March 10 (P)- His present activities are not preliminary tao any transoceanic flying attempts on his own part, have in view a long alr journey, probably over water, for Miss Mabel Boll, New York "Queen of Diamonds," says Charles A.

They arrived here yesterday afternoon with Pilot Wilmer Stultz from Miami, their first landing place after leaving the Cuban capital. The Columbia, which Clarence Chamberlin flew to Germany last year as a passenger, has been definitely retired from transoceanic Levine stated, in explaining that another plane would be used for the flight he is now planning for Miss Boll.

The ship to be used on the undescribed flight will be trimotored and the takeoff will be the latter part of April or the first of May, weather permitting, they both agreed, without giving a clue to the destination. PASTOR TESTIFIES IN POPCKE TRIAL The man who stood up with him: at his wedding and later invested $3,000 in his so-called investment syndicate was the principal witness yesterday at the grand larceny trial in General Sessions of Erwin F. Popcke, 27, son the Rev. William Popcke, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in E. 84th Manhattan.

Bosch, pastor of the First Lutheran churches of Babylon and Bay Shore, L. testified that after he had given Popcke $3,000 he did get some money back but declared he is "still in a hole."

After he got through his day's work he'd come home here and cook himself his supper and read the newspapers. He never went anywhere that ever I heard of.

I often and often heard him say he wished he could get some good beer like in Germany.

I shouldn't wonder if he'd be alive today if he could have got it. He went to doctor after doctor for his indigestion and he got so he spent most of his earnings at the drug store.

"Neighbors who saw him getting so thin maybe thought he did not want to spend the money for food, but it ain't so. He was ordered to eat any vegetables and he wasn't accustomed to anything like that. If he could have got good beer it might have been all right, but eating nothing but vegetables is enough to take the flesh off any man.

That's why he got so thin, that and the medicines. He took a plenty of medicine as I showed youbut, somehow, the more he took the worse he seemed to get, poor Looked "Worse Than Beggar." Mrs. A.

JEFFE DEFEATS WIFE IN SEPARATION SUITS Victim of Sensational "Torn Letter" Scandal Gets Court Decision in Cross-Actions. Ephraim P. Jeffe, of 23 E. 74th Manhattan, former member of the Crescent Club, came out victorious in the cross separation suits brought by his wife, Mrs. Pearl Jeffe, of 1042 Union and himself.

Mrs. Jeffe started suit after the sensational "torn letter" scandal of the Crescent Club had been aired in the newspapers. Their parting was a direct aftermath of the scandal, for Jeffe left his wife in the belief that she had caused a great deal of the trouble which could have been avoided. Justice Callaghan, who heard the evidence in the term of Supreme Court, expressed the opinion chat Mrs. Jeffe was unreasonably jealous and that there were no grounds for her attitude.

Justice Callaghan also declared that Mrs. Jeffe had been mainly responsible for husband's forced resignation from then Crescent Club and nad been responsible for the loss of his position. So he decided that Mrs. Jeffe was not entitled to alimony, and that as Jeffe had "good cause" to leave his wife, he awarded him a decree of separation. At the trial Mrs.

Jeffe told the court that she even then believed her husband had always been "an honorable gentleman," and she said she wanted him to return to her, preferring him to a decree or alimony. Jeffe said his wife had caused him a lot of worry and anxiety. The evidence showed that after Mrs. Jeffe got news of the finding in the Crescent Club's waste Richard Dieters, a telephone operator, of torn letters, alleged to written by Mrs. Lola Robinson, adelphia society matron, to Jeffe, she went on a persistent hunt for Mrs.

Robinson and expressed the determination of obtaining evidence to sue Mrs. tions. Robinson Jeffe said for his alienation wife of told affec- him she would get a divorce "for $15,000," and "suggested that he could obtain the money from Mrs. The club scandal also disrupted another home and resulted in Mrs. Margaret White separating from her husband and marrying Edwin L.

Butz, lawyer, who was Jeffe's pal in the Crescent Club and other social circles. Mrs. Butz told the court how intent Mrs. Jeffe had been on suing Mrs. Robinson.
