pRy OFFICIALS ARE
 FACED WITH TWO CASES

New York, October 12.-On the eve of the date set for enforcement of the federal ruling prohibiting pas senger vessels from bringing liquor under seal into American ports, en- forcement authorities today were faced with two important test cases
 One was a temporary restraining order. granted today byf Federal Judge Hand, enjoining local enforce ment authorities from molesting 1i- quor en the American steamers Fin land and St. Paul. The other was an order directing the government agents to show cause why an injunc- tion should not be issued restraining them from interfering with ships of the British owned Cunard and Anchor lines. This was issued by Judge Hand last night.
 The injunction granted today was hailed as an important victory for the steamship companies. who claim they would lose millions by the en- forcement of the prohibition decision It was issued upon application of the International Mercantile Marine cor poration which controls the Ameri- can line operating the Finland and St. Paul.
 Must Show Cause
 Judge Hand last night had signed an order directing the authorities to show cause why they should net be enjoined from acting against the 24 liners in the transatlantic fleet of the British owned Cunard Steamship company and the Anchor line. Frank lin E. Lord, of counsel for the British companies, said today that his firm would await the result of the hearing on the order Tuesday before consider ing the advisability of comforting with the Attorney General in Wash sngton regarding test case.

 The blow up came when Raymond Schneider. Hayes accuser. summoned Prosecutor Beekman of Somerset county to the jail at Someryille where Schneider was held as a witness. and repudiated his story of the crime. The authorities immediately renewed their investigation.
 The new turn took officials back to the homo of Mrs Frances Stevens Hall, widow of the slain clergyman, and to that of James Mills, widower cf the slain choir singer.
 Detectives visited the Hall home and took away a fawn colered coat and scarf waich had been dyed since the murders. They sent it to an analytical chemist for analysis of brown spots which the cleaners re- ported were beneath the black dye they had applied.
 Wore Light Coat

LIQUOR ASUSUAL' IS CRY OF FRENCH
 MARINE OFFICIALS
Daugherty Decision Will Be Fought to Highest Ameri- can Courts-May Ap-
 peal to the Hague
Ky Assoeiat~tl Pres.

Paris october 12.-The French line has decided to fight the Washington ruling against carrying liquor by foreign owned liners within American territorial waters and. iR the event of an adverse decision in the United States Supreme Court. will move to obtain an appeal to the International Court Of Justice at the Hague.
 Liquor as usual" up to the three mile limit, was the decision the board of directors of the French line made today. Then seal up the bars and let international law take its course"
 The British lines are understood to be in harmony with the French com pany. The first test case is likely to arise when the White Star liner Ma jestic, which Is scheduled to sail from Cherbonrg, October Is, reaches New York. The steamer Homeric, which cleared yesterday from CherbourE, and the French liner Lafayette sail ing Saturday are within the limit set by the Washington edict.
 Await Developments
 The French government has de- cided to await developments, leaving the question in the hands of the ship ping companies. They will, however. make representation should the vest ed rights of it's nationals, represented by sailors and stolSers aboard French owned ships and flying the French flag, Do deprived Of thelr wine.
 fl. Blo. minister q merchant ma | rine, IS preparing data for Premier Ptineare,. The latter may take up the matter with Washington should French owned ships be seized. M Rio has asked tho opinions of French experts on international law.
 Concerning the privilege of tine United States to accept or reject the jurisdiction Of the International Court of Justice at the Hague, members Of the cabinet have expressed the opin- ion that, although the United States is not a-member of the League of Nations, it has one judge sitting therein. IL is the opinion here that the United States government would be unwilling to go on record as re- tusing to arbitrate matter of this sort before such a tribunal.
 Officials Appalled,
 French line officials are appalled, at the Washington reports that their ships are liable to. seizure as snug alers. They declare that, outside the financial le SIS which would be irreme- dial. there is the question of personal privilege and liberty, on which they would be unwilling to yield.
 Tt cannot be true" said General Manager o. J. Dal Piaz of the French line to the Associated Press. we have not been officially informed of any such radical changes and shall continue as heretofore"
 Taking wine away from our sail ors and stokers Is just like taking milk away from babies," said M. yif- Hers, head quartermaster of the ,,L correspondent. T am positive that we would be unable to muster crews for New York, should the edict be up- held.'
