NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Officials of the Cunard and Anchor steamship companies late today instituted pro ceedings in the United States dis trict court -here to restrain govern ment officials from seizing either their ships or the liquor aboard .on the high seas. The application for the Injunction, after it had been opposed by Assist ant Federal Attorney Clarke, was refused by Judge H.and, who. how ever, ordered the federal authorities to show cause why the order should not be granted. Argument will be heard October 18. The "dry ship" fight was taken into the local federal court imme diately preceding the departure of the companies' attorneys for "Wash ington, where they will confer with Attorney-General Daugherty on the issues of his recent ruling. The Anchor line is a subsidiary of the Cunard company. Ships of both concerns are under British registry. Legality of Order Assailed. The complaint of the steamship companies attacked the legality of the attorney-general's decision on the ground that it was in contra vention to the general commerce treaty of 1815 and a misinterpreta tion of the Volstead act. The 18th amendment, the com plaint set forth, had been misin terpreted as to its clause covering the transportation of liquor. While the act declared it illegal to trans port liquor, the complaint pointed out, it did not decree possession of liquor aboard ship as a violation of the law. Attorneys who appeared for the federal government said that a tern porary stay would not be necessary as the treasury department wouia not attempt to force the ruling unti October 14. Attitude Is Set Forth. The attitude of the American steamshiD owners' association, how ever, as expressed in an official statement today, after a meeting of directors, is that it will abide by the Daugherty ruling peacefully if the prohibitionists will, as a reward lend their support to the ship sub sidy bill now before congress. Subsidy Only Relief. After enumerating the disadvan tapes which private American yes sels running dry will suffer in com petition with foreign ships, the as sociation said: There is but one way In which thi: disadvantage can be met ana that ii ty national aid along the lines now provided for in the national shipping bill. The association believes that the friends of prohibition appreciate the eft uation and will be among the strong- o.t advocates of giving to American ships every assistance that is necessary to maintain and upbuild the merchant marine. The association's stand wa. . aeainst anv concerted effort to re tain liauor on passenger ships by recourse to legal action, saying it felt "the situation was one which should be left to the individual com panies." Merchant Marine at Stnke. "In the judgment of the associa tion. however, it is a foregone con clusion that if the interpretation of the attorney-general is ultimate ly sustained, American ships will be placed at such a great disad vantage that national aid must be given immediately if the privately owned American ships new operat ing are to be maintained and the merchant marine and foreign trade developed," the directors' statement continues. "The loss in profits to American ships from the sale of liquors will be inconsequential and really is not a substantial factor in the situation. The serious loss will come from the driving of passengers to foreign passenger ships, not only in the trans-Atlantic trades but more par ticularly in the trans-Pacific. South and Central American and West In dian trades, where all ships custom arily touch at intermediate foreign ports. Pnssenser Trade Suffers. 'Passengers between such ports will travel on the ships of foreign lines on which they can obtain their customary wines and other bever ages. In traveling by American ships they will have to forego the opportunity of obtaining such bev erages in an open or lawful manner and either deprive themselves of them or resort to subterfuges. This is certa'in to arouse animus against American ships, and driving the passengers to foreign ships wili make those ships the instruments by which the trade of our competi tors will be advanced and devel oped." Virtually all officials of foreign owned lines announced it would be their policy to "live up to the law, no matter what the cost, ' and to await the outcome of the Cunard line's test of the validity of Mr. Daugherty's ruling. Shipping Board Affected. P. A. S. Kranklin, president of-the International Mercantile Marine, saia such would be the policy of his line, although he believed "it is our legal right to carry wines and liquors as stores to be consumed during the voyage." Shipping board craft already are beginning to experience a serious falling off in passenger trade, said Mr. Franklin, although he would not I - x i tiki &3ga35agga2i Photo Copyright by Underwood.

"The fact remains, however, that in the last few days cancellations of reservations have been coming in thick and fast," he said. He named two small ships, each of which car ries about 100 passengers, which lost from 15 to 20 passengers by last-minute cancellations.- On the larger ships the percentage of can cellations has risen by leaps and bounds in the last day or two, he disclosed. It is becoming more and more difficult for us to compete with for eign ships," said Mr. Franklin. "Every month something new pops up. The last was the tariff, so now one can t even pack a ship In a for eign port withot paying duty on it when the vessel reaches the United States." NARCOTICS 3IAKK TEST CASE Liquor and Drug Kxclusion Held Involved in Pacific Action. WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 11. The government stressed in argu ment in the supreme court today the importance in the enforcement of the prohibition and anti- narcotic acts of a ruling by the highest court that all articles aboard vessels en tering American ports, including those whose importation is forbid den, be. formally reported to the cus toms offices. The case at issue reached the court in an appeal brought by the government from an adverse de cision in the lower federal courts in proceedings brought against Wesley L. Sischo, who in operating a vessel upon the Pacifio coast, failed to en ter upon his customs manifest or otherwise state the presence aboard of narcotics. The substance of the ruling of the lower court was that the importation of certain drugs having been pro hibited, Sischo had violated no law not reporting that there was opium aboard. 1 he court pointeo out that no evidence had been pre sented to show that any attempt was made to Smuggle the narcotic into this country and the defendant was not charged with- that offense. ing the family life of Nick Bahraer and his daughter. Pearl's startling statement that "my farther might have done it," when referring to the murder, is held by Bahmer's lawyer, Paul Ewing, to be merely the outgrowth of the girl's ill feelings towards her father, because he had her arrested two weeks ago. "At the time the girl was arrested she said she would get even with her father. Her charges are all a lie," said Ewing today. 1927 FAIR IS INDORSED (Continued From First Paire ) MURDER NET IS GROWING (Co e From First Page.) years ago during a knire Datue with a negro.

While thousands of visitors from all parts of the United States and foreign lands have been shown the beauties of the Columbia highway through the generosity of private owners of automobiles a large part of the citizenry of Portland has never been able to glimpse the world-famous scenes along the gorge where rolls the mighty "Ore gon and a big brother movement should be started to give our own people a chance to take the high way trip, according to C. A. Hood, a resident of the city, who makes the suggestion in a letter received by the presidents council of civic clubs at its regular meeting last night. After hearing the letter read the council adopted a motion inviting Mr. Hood to appear before it and outline his plan. The council went on record as in dorsing the movement to have the east and west highway across Ore gon officially marked with an em blem featuring a covered wagon and a team of oxen and designated as the old Oregon trail. By unanimous vote the council ad mitted the Foreign Commerce club and the 162d infantry organiaztion to membership. A request of the Oregon Social Hygiene society to be permitted to send speakers before the various civic clubs represented in the coun cil was referred to individual mem ber clubs. I SAN' FRANCISCO, Oct. 11. A mod ern counterpart of the handwriting on tho wall credited with having spoiled a famous party given by Belshazzar visited the Pacific Mail liner President Cleveland the other night at sea in the form of a wire less message from Chairman Lasker of the shipping board, according to stories told by passengers on the ship, which docked here yesterday. Old traditions of passenger travel at sea call for geneial levity on the last night before port is reached. With a etock of liquor aboard val ued at J10.000, passengers of the President Cleveland said the tradi tions were respected. About? 1 o'clock in the morning when the revelry was at its highest pitch, the Lasker message came as follows: "Eliminate sale of liquor on all shipping board liners: consign all stocks on board for delivery at nearest port." Ship's officers posted placards bearing the orders. Then, the etory goes, many of the 150 passengers, taken by surprise, were so saddened by the liews that not even the more ardent spirits could cheer them. Others, it was said, merely saw in the notice a necessity for faster work. Advised that the three-mile limit was social as well as geographical, some passengers postponed sleep en tirely until they reached shore. The President Cleveland was the first shipping board vessel to reach this port since the Daugherty ruling ordering intoxicants off American vessels.
