FINAL TEST IS PLANNED
American Interests Will Comply
With Order if Dry Forces
Support Subsidy Measure.
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

ascribe the slump to the prospect of
arid voyages.
"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

when the vessel reaches the United

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.

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

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.
