Hand's - temporary stay, granted yesterday, of seizure by federal enforcement agents of liquor to be used for ships' crews on the eastbound trip to Eu rope. Asked to Issue Order Washington, Oct. 24.-(By the Associated Press.)-The - Supreme Court of the United States will be asked to issue an order restraining the government from enforcing the prohibition laws against transpor tation- of liquor on foreign ships 'touching American ports and on American ships outside of Ameri can coastal waters. Counsel for the shi'p lines which- instituted the or iginal proceedings before Federal Judge Hand in New York were in Washington today preparing the necess'ary papers for submittal to Associate Justice Brandies. Being assigned to the second circuit-in which New York City is located Mr. Brandeis would have supervision over matters before Judge Hand's court and a position for a super sedas order to hold up that court's dismissal of the ship companies' in junction case would be filed with him. If granted, the supersedas order would prevent interference with normal operation of the fleet of the appellants until the legal point at issue had been decided by the Su preme Court. Unless counsel for the shipping companies can prevail upon Justice Brandeis to issue the order, Federal officers normally would be required to proceed to enforce the statute as soon as Judge Hand formally signs the final order. Under precedents ju'tices of the Supreme Court are not inclined to grant injunctione while the court is in session preferr ing that such requests shall be sub mitted to and acted upon by the court itself. The court if now in recess and will not again meet until November 12. Administration officials indicated today that, even in the absence of a specific restraining order the gov ernment was not inclined to enforce strictly the liquor ruling promulgated by the Department of Justice so long is its legality was before the courts. Temporary regulations which would be in effect pending a final decision were laid before secretary Mellon to day but were withheld from publica tioii until they have reviewed by At torney General Daugherty. It was understood that enforcement agents wculd be instructed in these regulations that a certain latitude was permissible both as regards me dicinal alcoholic supplies and stocks designed for "grog" for crews, in cases where such issuance was a leg al requirement of their government or a- long established custom. Judge Hand in dismissing the injunction pe tition announced that he would make an exception covering liquor on board ships for either of these purposes. BRADHAM HOGS WIN AT STATE FAIR THIS WEEK H. H.

ALIlIES REACH AN AGIEEMENT Paris,' Oct. 24.-( By the Associat ed Press.)--A modification of Great Britain's position regarding repara tions, indicated by Sir John Brand bury at a meeting of the reparations commission this afternoon will make it possible for the commissio nto leave Paris for Berlin Sunday with a unani mous Allied agreement on what meas ures will be imposed on Germany's fi nancial administration for the pur pose of averting a total collapse of that country's finances. The unanimous decision to go to Berlin was taken after Sir John had definitely made known that he on behalf of Great Britain was wvilling to vote to declare Germany in voluntary default of her agree ment, should she refuse to carry out within a reasonable time requests for internal reforms which the commission will make in Berlin. This was a big surprise to the reparations commission since it was a decided concession to the French viewpoint. Heretofore the British repre sentative had refused to declare Germany in default under any conditions and also had declined to be a party to any move which might be construed as interfering with Germany's internal affairs. The entire commission, including Roland W. Boyden, American unof ficial repr'esen tativye andl Co. James A. Logan, Ji'., acting in a similar' capacity wvith the guarante'es comi mission, will leav'e for Berlin Sun (lay evening to confer with C'han ce'llor' W irth and other (serimn cabinet members on the financial crisis in Germany a nd the thrmea ten edl total collapse of the mrk. The opinion of all members of the coimmission and the American obsei'ver's wvas that unless radical measures were taken to stop the dleprieciation of the mark, the Al Iliedl powexrs would he faced with a IGerman financial colapse. Members of the body said the question of how much Germany could pay w~ithin the next two years, as well as that r'elating to delivery oif merchandise, might lie settled as a result of the Beilin trip. Reparatioins schemes will remain in suspe'nse until the Berlin inves I igat ion is completed although one (if the objects of the tip, it is stated, wvill lie to impose further finanicial i'esti'ictions upon Gei' ninny. Tlhe visit is also expected to have an i mportant influenice on the qiuest ion of the propihosed Brussels c'on ference on r'epar'ations and1( in - ter'-Allied ldbts. The reparations commissioni in a ('ommniiqxie described thle trip as "fox' the li'purpse of discussing withl the German government mieasur'es which the commniission may .judlge necessary to ensur'e the baxlantcin:g o ft he budget andl etiect. the stahi li'zation of the mark.''

While Mrs. Gibson was sail to have witnessed the shooting, it was said that she was unable, because of the darkness to identify the man and woman who, she said, made up the murder party. She gave the subtatorities, however, one good clue to their identity. After the minister and choir singer had been slain she was quoted as saying the man bent over the prostrate figure--pre iumably to cut. Mrs. Mills' throat and his accomplice cried out: "Oh--" mentioning the Christian name of the supposed slayer. Mrs. .Jane Gibson, a w;dow, with }ier son, conducts a 60-acre farm on Hamilton road in a sparsly settled section several mile:; r:o r. Mere.
