''In Transit" Shipments of Liquor

ferees to-day compromised on this fea-
ture by providing that no private
property should be searched without
just cause. a warrant not being speci-
fled except in the case of private
homes.
The Government ban was lifted to-
night on "in transit" liquor shipments
Of foreign origin through the United
States to a foreign destination.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
issued an order suspending the 'in
transit" regulations and explained that
1t was the direct result of the acton
Of courts In Detroit and New YORK
granting injunctions against the Gov
ernment and in favor of foreign liquor
Shipments. Secretary Melons new in
structions to collectors of customs d.
rected them hereafter to permit un-
restricted entry and movement OF
liquor shipments of foreign origin en-
route through the United States Tor
some foreign destination.
The effect of the Treasury order also
will be to allow uninterrupted freedom
to foreign vessels entering American
ports with liquors aboard. Until the
questions raised by the injunction
suits in Detroit and New York are de-
cided by the Supreme Court there VIII
be no attempt to interfere with ships

DEALING SUSPENDED
ON BERLIN BOERSE
Enormous Speculation for Rise
Causes Closing of Stock
Exchange.
MARKS HEAVILY SOLD
Slump Believed Due to Ger
many's Purchase of Foreign
securities.

The Berlin Boerse has temporarily
suspended operations because of the
recent high pressure of activity, ac-
cording to advices received here yes
terday by international bankers.
In the last three weeks speculation
on the Boerse has attained enormous
dimensions, exceeding in volume al
most any pre-war period. Shares OF
numerous industrial companies have
been most favored on reports that con-
troll Is being sought by foreign inter-
ests. In some instances industrial is
sues have sold at highest prices in
seven years, advancing 10 to 90 points
in one day.
Berlin bankers and spectators have
been heavy sellers Of the mark. That
fact probably accounted for yester-
days low rate of German exchange
here. Bills on Germany strengthened
considerably to-day, however. dealers
reporting an active inquiry from Ber-
lin, Hamburg and Frankfort.
A special despatch from Berlin to
THE NEW YORK HERALD on Tuesday
said that speculation In foreign securi-
ties there, owing to the depreciation Of
the paper mark and the rush to secure
securities based on gold in exchange for
them, had become a stampede on the part
OF spectators to buy and sell. IL said
that German business firms were making
enormous profts in paper marks, but did
not regard these as definitive until they
were able to convert these profits into
more stable securities--either industrials
at home or foreign paper.
The speculative fever. the despatch
added. increased with declining quota
tions on the mark abroad. while the
price OF Industrial securities in Germany
advanced. Telegraphic orders from per
sons outside Berlin fairly swamped
bankers and brokers. This situation gave
the German Government much concern.
inasmuch as the builish tendency on the
part or the German public was caused
primarily by the decline in the price OF
the mark.
IL was believed In berlin that the
lower quotations on the German mark
were due primarily to the purchase by the
German Government or foreign securi-
ties in connection with the payment OF
1 900. 00O 900 marks gold TO the Entente
Allies due on August 81.
Other dispatches from Berlin told OF
long queues Of persons waiting for hours
to trade in the stock market. Many
were disappointed and large number
OF orders were not filled. Many bankers
and brokers refused to guarantee the
execution Of orders unless they were In
the hands OF their floor traders before ?
o'clock in the morning.

Donahue for the recovery of $4,000 on
a promissory note made by Mr. Pral
in favor of Mr.. Donahue and subse-
quently transferred to Michael Athias
of So West Nnety-first street, who
brought the suit. In view OF the fact
that there has been considerable com

of Mr.. Prall in connection with stock

80 LIFTED BY DIVERS

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO. Aug. 17.--The police OF
Summit. a suburb of Chicago. are ex-
cavating an automobile grave yard
in an abandoned quarry near there. III
is believed at least 100 automobiles are
living at the bottom of eighty feet OF
water Divers have begun to raise the
machines. They reported to-day that
in some Of the deeper portions OF the
quarry the motor cars appear to rest
one on the other in layers six and
eight machines deep.
The graveyard" was discovered
when a policeman noticed the top OF
an automobile projecting above water,
which he knew was so deep that the
car, If thrown into the place, should
have been entirely covered.
An investigation showed that the ma
chine was resting on top OF another car.
This led to the belief that others might
have been thrown into the water Chief
r. ID. Allison Of Summit engaged John
Blair. a diver, to descend into the
quarry. and Blair reported that the
place was literally filled with machines.
Under the direction of Blair and Chief
Allison. divers were obtained from Chi
cago and the work of raising the ma
chimes was begun. Thirty have been
brought to the surface already. The
divers are sure there are at least twice
that many in the water. With the
present facilities about rve or six cars
a day can be lifted.
One OF the first machines recovered
was the property of T. J. Sullivan OF
1856 South Halsted street, which the po-
lice say was reported stolen on Decem-
ber 81, 1920. Another was a small car
which bore a 1919 license plate.
The police are taking the numbers Of
the machines as fast as they are brought
out and an investigation will be made Of
each case. The insurance companies
also will inquire into the affair. The
quarry. which has not been worked for
several years, is a block wide and a
block and half long. The water at the
edges is about thirty feet deep, but
slopes down to about eighty feet in the
centre.

Do Away With Co.
Brand Inspection

. .
The County Commissioners have
revoked their resolution Of two
months past establishing q number
of brand inspectors for Sioux county
in accordance with a brand inspec.
ton law passed at the last legis.
lature. Hereafter cattle may be
shipped out Of Sioux county with.
out a certificate Of brand inspection.
Under the actual working out Of
the adoption Of this law, it was
found that cattle from other counties
were not being shipped out of Solen
and Cannon Ball as formerly, the
shippers preferring to ship them
from other points where the extra
expense Of brand inspection did not
have to be incurred, Sioux county
being the only county in this section
to adopt the law.
