Philadelphia authorities have revealed the existence of a widespread plot to smuggle Russians into the United States in excess of the immigration quota. Newton Joseph, a steward on the British freighter General Lukin, was found guilty of bringing three Russians on a recent trip from Cuba. He was fined 300 dollars. The United States attorney, Mr. Graham, told the court that there were 1,000 Russian citizens in Cuba awaiting illegal entry into America. He declared that a large business was being done smuggling them into steamers as stowaways for the voyago to a United States port. Joseph admitted being paid 100 dollars for each alien he could smuggle aboard ship.—A. and N.Z.
