BIG POSTAL ROBBERY
PLOT JSJJNCOVEREO
Inspector Grows “Bad Man’s" Beard
and Gains Confidence of Notorious
New York Gang
New York. —A gigantic postoffice
holdup, surpassing in apectacularlty
and daring any of the recent registered
mall thefts of the mllilon-doiiar-hoid-up
class, would have been perpetrated at
the city hall postoffice but for the
keen work of a postoffice inspector
who grew a bad man’s beard, consort
ed with the plotters, and uncovered
their scheme.
This was the statement of Postoffice
Inspector Doran in making public the
details of the arrest of seven men—six
of them present or past postoffice em
ployes. He asserted that their cap
ture would clear up the registered mall
theft of July 18, when $1,477,000 In
liberty bonds bound for Washington
were stolen from the mall, would aid in
solving a heretofore undisclosed theft
of $40,000 in securities addressed to
Watertown. N. Y., and might go far
toward clearing up the $2,000,000 mail
truck holdup in Broadway last October.
Plans had been laid, and were to
have been carried out In the broad
daylight for the holdup and robbing of
the entire registered mail section of the
City Hall station, through which mil
lions In securities flow dally from the
Wall street financial zone, Inspector
Doran said. Orders had been Issued
to shoot any employe who resisted.
The plotters had visited the City
Hall station several times arid made
a careful survey of the “layout” and
planned their raid in great detail. In
deed, Inspector Doran said, they had
gone to the station several weeks ago,
ready to “pull” the holdup, but had
been deterred by the accidental pres
ence of several Inspectors, which had
led them to fear their plot had been
discovered. >■- j
It was the Imminence of the new
date for the holdup that sent police
and postoffice inspectors on a roundup
campaign.
The Inspector who uncovered the
plot with his bad man beard and his
plausible manner, was one of 16 in
spectors, It was said, who have been
working their way for weeks Into the
confidence of the accused men —posing
as boastful fellow mall bandits.

RENEWS REFUSAL
TO ATTEND MEET
UNITED STATES FIRMLY RE
FUSES TO RECOGNIZE OR
AID RUSSIA
DECISION BLASTS GENOA HOPE
Russians Must Change Attitude and
Form Stable Industrial Basis
Before U. S. Will Take
Part in Meetings
Washington.—Any question of rec
ognition by the United States of the
Russian soviet government Iles beyond
the time when restoration of produc
tivity in Russia shall have been set in
motion by that country itself accord
ing to an authorative and plainly
spoken outline of the attitude of the
American government obtained Thurs
day. Refusal to participate both in
the Genoa conference and In the pro
posed' commission consideration of
Russian affairs at The Hague, it was
added, was based on the conviction
that such n restoration could not be
hoped for under the terms outlined in
the Russian memorandum of May 11
at Genoa.
Favors Unofficial Survey
Tn the meantime, it was explained,
the United States Is ready to embark
with other powers on any purely scien
tific investigation of conditions in Rus
sia with a view to recommendations
as to steps necessary for the commer
cial. financial and industrial revival
of. that country; but it will have no
part ip any such deliberation which
would even imply a recognition of the
soviet regime and would thus tend to
“penetrate delusions" among the Rus
sian people.
Tn the American view, the Russian
Genoa memorandum, from which it ap
peared the proposal for the sessions at
The Hague was an off-shoot, would
have exactly that effect In Russia.
The memorandum referred to by Mr.
Hughes in declining the Invitation to
The Hague stands as an “Impossible
barrier to the establishment of any re
lations with Russia. It was said.
If it was in the minds of the Russian
delegates the idea that loans and other
forms of credit might be established in
the United States without there first
having been set up within Russia such
conditions as would warrant Invest
ments there on a sound, economic
basis, they are laboring under n com
plete delusion and no good purpose
would be served, under the American
view, by entering the discussion at The
Hague*which could never reach a hap
py Issue while the attitude Indicated
In the Russian memorandum remained
unchanged.
Situation Up to Reds
It has been said repeatedly by Amer
ican officials who have had a hand In
guiding the policies of the government,
that recognition of the soviet govern
ment by the United States and other
countries would not set afoot the eco
nomic rehabilitation of Russia. Ad
ministration officials generally are
wholly confident that the American
people would never approve recogni
tion of the soviet regime and indicate
their belief that the assembled dele
gates at Genoa should by now fully un
derstand the fixed nature of the Ameri
can policy of standing wholly aloof
from any International arrangement
that might have the appearance of
moving toward such recognition.

CALLS MEETING TO
CHECK EBEL COSTS
Summons Owners to Capital, White
House and Justice Department
i May Take Hand
Washington.—Secretary Hoover an
nounced Wednesday the calling of a
conference of coal operators to devise
measures for the protection of con
sumers from the tendency of coal
prices to rtse at the mine In certain
districts, which he declared would be
checked. No date has yet been defin
itely set for the conference but it is
expected to be held within th* next few
days.
Mr. Hoover requested the American
Rallwdy association and the public
utilities association to create buying
committees to handle their purchases
of coal and announced his intention of
asking other large consuming indus
tries to take similar measures Jn order
to stop building against each other
and against the general consumer.
“At the present time,” he said, “the
price of coal has risen unduly In cer
tain districts while In other districts
there is an insufficiency of orders to
employ rhe mines full time. There are
very large stocks of coal in the country
In the possession of consumers and the
problem is one of co-ordinatiou and co
operation."
From the White House also there
came word of the government’s inten
tion to take r hand in the situation
arising from the advance In the price
of coal at the mine In some districts.
Attorney General Daugherty like
wise indicated that department of Jus
tice reports showed advances of 50 per
rent in coal prices at the mines in soma
districts,

League of Nations; Success
Marks Conference

of Nations adjourned Thursday night
after It had decided to support the Ger
man government’s protest to the
League of Nations against Poland's

sure on Poland in an endeavor to have
that country reconsider its ruling.
In a summary of the work pf its
session it is claimed It was the most
Important since the beginning <*f the
council. Among other achievements
t noted are first, the signature of the
German-Polish economic treaty and
settlement of the Upper Silesia ques
tion ; second the throwing open of the
court of International Justice to the
entire world, including Russia. Turkey
and Mexico; third, the establishment
of a financial and economic protector
ate over Albania by the league of na
tions; fourth, the setting of a definite
date for final disposal of the Palestine
mandate and fifth, the creation of a
commission for International intellec
tual co-operation, with an American
member.
