Action, Taken at Request of Beekman and Stricker, Believed to Be Admission of Failure to Solve Prob lem.
ANOTHER WOMAN IS
 BELIEVED INVOLVED

Trenton, N. J., Oct 23.-At the re- CT the attorney generals department CT the attornel generals department today assumed charge of the investi- gatlon of the Hall-Mills murder case. Attorney Gen. McCran deputized Will bur A. Mott of Essex county as deputy attorney general in charge. MT. Mott will begin his duties immediately.
 Prosecutors Make Request
 The action of Justice Parker was taken at the joint request of Pros- ecutors Stricke rand Beekman of Mid dlesex and Somerset counties, respec- lively. Some days ago, they joined in a similar request, but afterward asked that they be allowed a few days ad ditional time in which to run down some new clues. Whether a definite period was given them then or whether they have since made an- other request to be relieved was not stated.
 Looks Like Failure,
 The announcement from the attor- ney generals office came as a sur prise in view of reports that the case was practically closed and that in- dictments were to be asked of the Somerset county grand jury. It is taken here as an indication that the prosecutors have admitted failure and that the mystery is not near solution.
 MT. Mott served as prosecutor and assistant prosecutor in Essex county for 8 years.
 Evidence Was Eynortoj
 Azaraish Beekman of Somerset county was expected to lay the evid- ence in the Hall- Mills murder case before the grand jury today At the same time detectives on his staff were busy rounding up new and old wit nesses for examination at secret where more witnesses have been taken recently in an ef- fort to avoid the many newspaper men working on the case.
 Great interest was shown by auth critics in report that the Rev. Ed ward Wheeler Hall, slain rector of the Episcopal church of St. John the Evangelist, once employed a private detective to curb the activities of a man who Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills. choir leader. had complained was annoy ing her.
 May Re Another Woman.
 An inquiry was begun today also of the report that another woman was involved in the love com plications of Dr Hall and that he visited her alone in Manhattan apartment. Authori- i ties have learned that Dr, Hall sent tell t,, fo tl,, ,c August It read: l

Refused, but Time is Extended to Give U. s. and Foreign Companies Time to Ap- peal to Superior Court
Ships Carrying Liquor Un- der Seal on East Bound Voyages Are Violating the Regulations, Decision Says.

New York, Oct. 23 (By Associated 1 Press) Judge Learned Hand today handed down a decision dis missing the motion of foreign and American ship companies for a per manent injunction restraining federal prohibition agents from putting into effect the bone dry ruling of Attorney Gen. Daugherty. He extended the stay temporarily however providing that the steamship companies file an immediate appeal to the U. S. Su- preme court
 Govt. Wins in All Points
 Judge Hand decided in favor of the government on all points. The de- cision was rendered on the specific matter of the application of foreign lines for an injunction protecting from seizure ships carrying liquor under seal on the east-bound voyage from the United States.
 All Lines Affected. The decision applies to foreign and American lines because of the state ment made by Judge Hand during the injunction proceedings last week that a defeat of the motion of the foreign lines would naturally bring about de- feat of the American lines motion for an injunction.
 Must Furnish Bond The temporary extension of the stay granted by Judge Hand, applies only to liquor to be used as supplies for members of ships crews on the east-bound voyage to Europe. This extension was granted on the furnish ing of bond of s25,o by the steam ship companies to guarantee that the liquor would not be used for any other purposes than the one stipu- lated
 Will Make Appeal.
 Everett Masten of counsel for the White Star line announced after the decision was made known that his firm and representatives of the 12 other foreign and domestic lines rep resented in the proceedings would bring an appeal as soon as possible.
 The original action against the Daugherty ruling was brought by the Cunard and Anchor lines which were later joined by ten other companies including most of the important for eign and American lines in the trans Atlantic trade.
 In his decision Judge Hand agreed with the complainants that the two points at issue were the contentious that the carriage of liquor under seal was not transportation and that liquor so carried Is ships stores which by long custom have been treated as part of the ships furniture.
 Tracing the history of the en- forcement of the prohibition act Judge Hand showed that until the Daugherty ruling was made foreign ships freely came into American ports with liquor under seal for sale on the high seas and for the crews ra' tions The Daugherty ruling he said was based on decision rendered in May in the Anchor line case
 In the matter of transportation Judge Hand found that the steam ships in carrying liquor and in serv- ing it to passengers and members of crew were guilty of transportation" Judge Hand after long opinion cit- ing decisions of the supreme court and speculating on the intent of the prohibition act also decided for the in the matter of ships -t ores
