NEW YORK CURB HAS
 MOVED QUARTERS
Is Now Located on Western
 Fringe of Wall Street

New York. June 27.-After several the main highway of the financial dis trict, the outside market" corporate ly known as the New York Curb Asso- citation. today moved into its own spacious quarters on the western fringe of Wall Street.
 For the first time in its long and picturesque history 'the curb to quote one of its chief officials, will cease to have the sky as its roof and will find shelted within it own four walls"
 The new building of the New York Curb Market, now virtually complet- cd at a cost of about s2,250,000. in- cluding the ground, is an impressive structure located on Trinity Place, di- rectly back of the famous Trinity r. graveyard and extending westward to Greenwich street,
 Already the executive offices of the association have been installed and although the financial district is pass ing through a period of postwar de- pression the guiding spirits of the curb believe the new headquarters will mark the beginning of a new and prosperous career.
 Of the entire membership as now cc nstituted-variously estimated at 400 to 600-almost 25 per cent of the cid guard of veteran members have threatened to hold aloof and continue their operations in the roadway of Broad sreet.
 This faction may find itself baked. however, by the attitude of the city authorities. The police long ago found it necessary to "corrar' the members within an irregular square because their increasing numbers obstructed street traffic.
 Among the members of the Curb Association are a number of men more or less directly connected with the Big Board,'' as the Stock Ex- change is known in the Wall Street vernacular. Some Stock Exchange firms have voiced their opposition to the idea of a regular home or head quarters for the "curb'. Others be l:eve it will add to the strength and responsibility of that organization. One of the arguments advanced in favor of a fixed habitat for the curb brokers has been that. it would elim- nate an undesirable element,

BRITISM CONFERENCE
 TO BE LONG ONE
Irish Problem May Interfere With Speedy Settlement of Foreign
 PoIicies-Views On Treaty.

London, June 27.-The imperial conference which reassembled today is likely to last much longer than or iginally was proposed, probably throughout July. Even then, it is believed it will be found necessary to postpone action on many subjects pending further discussion.
 Possibility of delay in the proposed daily meetings also is seen in the fact that Premier Lloyd George has invited Eamonn De Valera and Sir James Craig, premier of the Ulstr government to come to London for a discussion of the Irish problem. Dur ing the past week there has been a full. confidential reviewing of the empires foreign policy but none of the speeches delivered in this con nection has been made public.
 There has been a noticeable de- velopment in recent press comment on the subject of the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese treaty.
 A number of influential papers, however, in their most recent com ment, have favored the idea of re- placing the treaty by some tripartite agreement or understanding among England, the United States and Ja- pan, which would regulate all ques- t.tions concerning the Pacific ocean and China.

ored, the police took 96 gallons of mash which they dumped into the sewer. The stuff was found together with two stills, one of which was turning out its illicit product at the time of the raid, on the third floor at 27 Lee street. The accused and his wife live on the second floor. The police had received in formation that he was using the third floor of the building as a distillery. They had also been informed that he was conducting a thriving whiskey business, delivering the goods sold on bicycle. When he was away from the house a 13 year old girl was in charge.
 Not only were the stills, mash and finished product confiscated, but numer ous devices such as testing tubes, col bring apparatus, tunnels, heaters and coolers were taken. Sergeant Hart tested a part of the fluid at police head quarters and found it to be no proof.
