C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1922 NO lIPUR QUESTION TO SUPREME COURT Restraining Order Against Enforce ment Asked BY FOREIGN SHIP LINES Justice Brandies Will Have Supervis ion Over Matter in This Case Now York, Oct. 24.-An appeal from the decision of Federal Judge Hand denying the motion of twelve foreign and American steamship com panies,.for a permanent injunction of the enforcement o fthe Daugherty bone dry 'ship ruling was filed today by counsel for - the CunaVd-Anchor, French, International Mercantile Ma rine and International Navigation Lines. The appeal for issuance today of a decree 'confirming Judge. 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 .orcign ships touching American ports and on American ships outside of Ameri can coastal waters. Counsel for the ship lines which- instituted the or iginal proceedings before Federal Judge Hand in New York were in Washington today preparing the necessary 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 justices of the Supreme Court are not inclined to grant injunctionc 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 it 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 as 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 tion until they have reviewed by At torney General Daugherty. It was understood that enforcement agents would 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.

There is a big field ahead. The following letter has been receiv ed by the Unit President from Mrs. James Cathcart State President: Columbia, S. C., Oct. 2, 1922. Dear Mrs. Geiger, I received your letter with the copy of your last year's report. I think this report is splendid and am sorry you were not at Florence to make it. I am writing to urge you to send me as soon as possible a good account of the meeting your unit had last week, so I can use it in our publicity column. In our new constitution there is a clause saying that the units must have monthly meetings, and we want to hell) the weaker units by letting them know what the strong links in the chain are doing. I do hope each unit will (1o some hospital work every month, I hope that they will co operate with The Red Cross in its work for the ex-service men, and back up every movement for good in the community. To keep the faith we must go forward and work for a bet ter citizenship. The National Ameri can Legion offers a prize every month to the post doing the biggest piece of constructive work. We have no money in our little organization, but we can and must do something to make the sacrifices made by thousands of our men worth while. Out of the first 2,000,000 men dlraftedl in the army thmere were 200,000 who could not read or write letters, could-not even be written to the loved ones at home. They could not even read The Word of God. We have a big national com mittee on Americanism, one of the objects of this committee is the eradi cation of illiteracy. Please appoint a committee on Americanism in your unit.

ALLIES REACH AN AGREEMENT 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 mens 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 willing 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 umnof ficial representative and Co. Jamnes A. Logan, Jr., acting in a similar capacity wvith the guarantees cotn mission, will leave for Berlin Sun dlay evening to confer with Chan cellor Wirth and other German cabinet members on the financial crisis in Germany an'l the threamten cd total collapse of the mark. The opinion of all members of the com mission and the Americani observers was that unless radlical measures were taken to stop the dIepreciation of the mark, the Al iemd powers wvould he faced with a German financial cola pse. Members of the body said the qluestion of how much Germany could pay wvithin the next twe years, as well as that relating tc dlelivery of merchandise, might be settledl as a result of the Berlin Reparations schemes will remair in suspense until the Berlin inves tigation is completed although one of the objects of the trip, it ik stated, wvill be to impe'- ' furthem financial restrictions upon Ger many. Thei visit is also expected to havt an important influence on the 'questioni of the proposed Brussels conference on reparations and in ter- Allied debts. The repairations comnmission in a cornmmnicque described the trip as ''for the purpose of discussing with the Ger-man government mieasu re. wvhich the commission may judg< nedcessary to ensure 'the balancing o ft he budget and effect the stabi liza tion of the mark.''
