Latter Are Equally Stub- born -- Other Countries Adopting More Concilia- tory Attitudes.

Moscow. June 14. (By Associated Press)-On the eve of The Hague conference officials of the Russian Soviet government informed the As sociated Press that the Russian at titude at the new meeting will be the same as that adopted at Genoa The only concessions to foreign capi- tai possible, it is added. will be or the basis of the recently enacted laws governing private property.
 Soviet Statement
 Carl Radek, Soviet chief of pubi- city. declared:
 "The Hague conference of experts will be rather a hindrance than a help, because it will not be mu. tual discussion of problems, but merely create new united front ot capital.
 "1f we are not to consider the dec larations of Hoover and Hughes and the memorandum of Poincare as empty threats, then what they ask before the pourparors with Russia is Russia's withdrawal of the mem orandum of the eleventh of May, ir which the principal position of Rus sia was expressed.
 Objects To Contempt.
 "The Russian government is not i1 such q low position as 10 allow itself to be treated with contempt, either by France or even America, with out whose economic cooperation the economics of the Russian state can not be re-established by her famine relief. America has gained more sym pathy in Russia which she is going to forfeit if she wishes to play the role Of dictator toward Russia by forcing upon her such base demands.
 Despite her poverty, Russia will enter into relations with foreign coun- tries only on the basis of mutual es- teem."

NORRIS COVE HOUSE
 DEN OF B007LEGGERS
U' S. and City Police Un- cover Much Parapher-
 nalia-Arrests Expected

New Haven, June 15.--Three hun dred gallons of alcohol, seven stills, 26 barrels of mash and other para phernalia were seized by federal pro. hibition agents and local police in a Morris Cove house last night. It was said that three federal officers and IA additional deputies sworn in for the raid participated. No ar- rests were made as no one was found in the house. Arrests were expected today Two trips of five ton truck were necessary to remove to a. govers. ment warehouse the entire raoonshine outfit, which was complete down to refining apparatus. Most of the ma- terial was on the third floor, where 65-gallon cans of alcohol reposed on the floor in the hall. An insurance policy on the house was found, bear ing the names of the owners.
 Authorities said that quantities of jewelry, silks and linens were found in the house, which were believed to be loot of recent robberies in the city.
 The house, which is at the waters edge, has been under suspicion for some time as the haunt of bootleggers, it being believed that liquor was transported to and from the place in motor boats. High tide allows two and half fathoms of water in which motor boats might navigate to the rear of the house
 Both the police and enforcement officers said today that they were close on the tracks of the men who had been maintaining the still at the house in Morris Cove.
 The opinion of officers is that alco- hol was distilled in the house and then shipped by motor boat to New York and Newark, N. J. The insur- anee on furniture in the place was in creased to $2,0o0 last week. Records would indicate that the building was owned by Luigi Tortora and Fran ceSco Ferena.

Lasker Insistent

Washington, June 15.-With Chair man Lasker adhering to his stand that the sale of liquor on shipping board vessels at sea will continue until he has been convinced of it's illegality'' any action in the matter apparently was left today to prohibition leaders in congress-" N
 While the correspondence exchange on the subject between MT. Lasker and Adolphus Busch, III, vice e-presi- dent of the Anheuser- Busch Brewery company, St Louis, continued to pro- yoke discussion it was reported that the first move to stop the sale of liquor on American vessels would be an attempt to secure an amendment to the ship subsidy bill before the merchant marine committee. It was rumored that this probably would be made today. although it's defeat there was generally predicted.
 That the issue would have to be met when the subsidy bill is taken up in the house however, was said by friends of the measure to seem cer- tain.
 Representative Upshaw, democrat, Georgia has publicly announced that he will offer an amendment providing that no part of the federal subsidy fund shall be used by steamship lines on whose ships liquor is sold.
