City Councilman John j. Mulvena
appeared before the directors OF the
Street and Sewer Department this
morning to make an appeal for an arc
light at Third and Adams streets. but
ne was advised by tho members that
such n light has already been order
ed placed there. Councilman John IL.
McNabb was present to back up Mr..
Mulvena's statements and he made his
speech anyhow. He said tho corner
ie one of tho most dangerous In tho
city and many accidents have occurred
there and many have been narrowly
averted. There Is an almost continuous
stream of automobiles and other We
hlcles rounding the corner but he
thought when the Fourth street paw
ing has been completed much of this
traffic will use that thoroughfare. Mr..
Mulvena also called attention to a big
tree on the corner which blocks the
view OF people using Third and Adams
street and the directors agreed to fook
into this matter.

the officials of the department to be

HUGHES DECLINAWON TO
ATTEND THE HAGUE FARLEY

Washington, May fs--Ths United
States government having removed to-
day the last possible doubt as to the
finality OF its decision not TO psrtici-
pate In conferences on tho European
economic situation of the Genoa type.
officials here waited with interest the
next move of the powers attending tho
Italian meeting.
Impartial observers ut Gsnoa have
been unanimous recently in stating
that only the hope OF obtaining the at
tendance OF the United States either
at Genoa or at tho proposed confer
enoe at The Hague, had prevented
the arising Of an fmpasse. This hope
was definitely removed In tho reply,
dispatched by the State Department
last night to Ambassador Child. to a.
formal invitation proffered through
the French delegation at Genoa
This government" Secretary
Hughes communication said. 'Is un-
able to conclude that It can helpfully
participate in the meeting at The
Hague, as this would appear to- be
the continuance under different
nomenclature OF the Genoa conference
and destined to. encounter the same
difficulties IL the attitude disclosed In
the Russian memorandum of May II
remains unchanged"
The ''inescapable and ultimate dues-
ton the note said, would appear 10
be the restoration OF productivity in
Russia, the essential conditions o.
which are still TO be secured and must
/ in the nature Of things be provided
within Russia herself"
! American business was told en-
phatically last night that the attitude
of the government toward Russia has
not changed.
The government still believes, as II
did a year ago when the policy of the
Harding Administration was started
that "it is idle to expect resumption OF
trade until the economic bases of pro-
duction are securely established" In
Russia. And the government thinks
that mere diplomatic recognition oi
Russia will be futile as a means of aio
in the restoration of Russia to q
healthy position in world affairs.
This position of the government was
stated by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover in an address before the Ameri
can Section of the International Cham,
ber of Commerce meeting at the City
Club.
