EnO's Men Make Seizure Of Big
 Liquor Still

New FNven, May 12.@Chief Jon athan E. Emo of the federal prohibit ton enforcement squad executed Is agents seized the greatest Illicit beverage alcohol nanufactory -dliscov- cred in Connecticut since prohibition became effective. At 205 Wallace street they seized a plant believed to have been the most prolific source of bootleggers' supply in the state for months.
 Almost the entire space in an aban- doned two-family house at that ad- dress was found to be devoted to the redistiIlation and bottling of dena- tured alcohol. Two 150-gaIIon SttIlas the largest by far yet discovered in this state, were found in frM opera tion along with two 30-ga11on stills and a five-ga1lon still Five hundred cases of alcohol were in an tmprO- vised storerooIn ready for delivery to boOtleggers, and 20 cases filled with pint hasks of the -loquor. There were labels on the f1asks bearing the words Alcohol Sponge, for bathsJ" ostens4- bly, for purposes of deception
 The search was made on two war rants, one naming Frank Seteaca of 204 Wallace street and the other nam ing the Crisuolas Bakery Shop.
 Neither Seleace nor the proprietor the federal men. and they proceeded to move the liquor away. It required a ftye-ton truck to transport it to Smedley's warehouse and a crowd of about 800 gathered as the work pro- gressed The New Haven police as- sisted the federal men.
 As the alcohol was being sold by bootleggers for $20 a. gallon, accord ing to the agents, the contraband is valued at over $12,000.

Riverside Declines To Negotiate
 With Aetna

Hartford, May 12-The directors of the Riverside Trust company, by practically unanimous vote. yesterday afternoon declined to enter into nego- uatfons with the Hartford-Aetna Ma ional Bank, looking to the acquisition of the former institution by the lat ter, the only dissenting vote being cast by Governor Everett J. Lake, who is a director of both banks. The senti- ment of the Riverside directors was so strong against going out of the banking business that they declined to appoint a committee to meet the committee previously named by the Hartford-Aetna directorate to take up the proposition of a sale of the Riverside to the Hartford-Aetna. This was the only question relating to the proposed merger which was before the Riverside directors, no actual of fer having been made for the River side stock by the Hartford-Aetna and no figure having been arrived at as to the price which would be paid to the Riverside stockholders for their hold ings, in the event that the iprehmin- ary negotiations called for a definite offer. The recent quotations of the Riverside stock are from $2T5 to S2S5 a. share and it is assumed that any offer that might be made would be somewhat in excess of the receRt quotarions-possibly s325, or SS5O a share.

The lana owned by the late man was Tn the nature of a large farm when ne purchased it the sale price was low but with the developing of the sec ton of Fairfield into the residential section of Bridgeport the land grew in value.
 An inventory of the cash left and other plots will be taken in the near future.

which have been very trying tim es for banking Institutions, rendered eX- tremely valuable service to the state. MT. Sturges' ability to aid in consol1- dations and liquidations of institu- tions not old enough or strong enough to stand the drastic drains of the reconstruction period, has prevented many. situations which would have created real hardships.
 'The department gives more than an examination to savings banks and state institutions, and its audits have been really appreciated throughout the state. No department of our state administrative activities has been more highly complimented to me than has the banking depart ment.''

 But this Is what Morehouse said, with an expression of amazement: Why, I haven't even seen or heard from pr. Lewis since the epidemic broke out anew. let alone have any trouble about a warrant. No matter what personal feelings I might have in the matter, I'd be crazy to block the authorities in their efforts to en- force a quarantine for the good of the community" So there goes the ru- nor up in smoke and one councilman is on our list of ''unauthoritative news sources.''
