 New York. June 25.--An order was served on District Attorney Hayward today directing him to appear before Federal Judge Knox at o'clock this afternoon and show cause why he should not seize all liquors on the Cunard liner Berengaria scheduled to sail for England later today.
 The order, issued at the request of Captain John F. Milliken, secretary treasurer of the Neptune association of masters and mates, was said 10 be the first step toward case designed 10 test the validity of the recent liquor treaty with Great Britain.
 The petition demands that Hayward make the seizure on the ground that the carrying of liquor aboard any vessel in an American port is a vio- lstlon of the Eighteenth Amendment. silas T.. Axtel. attorney for ciJtain Milliken, declared that if he was de- feated in his efforts 10 compel action by Hayward he would seek warrant for. the arrest Of the master of the Berengerla on charges ot@flolatlng the prohibition amendment and the Vol stead act.
 Captain Milliken contended that tho treaty by which Great Britain grants the right to United States customs men to search for liquor aboard all ships under British registry within t2 miles Of the American shore in return for the privileges iof bringing liquors into American ports under seal, dis eliminating against all vessels of American registry.
 The BerenGaria on arrival here from Southampton June 2l, had aboard, chased as medical stores. tl0 gallons of wine in bulk, almost 5.OOo bottles Of ale and porter. almost 5000 bottles of light wines, 1,9i2 bottles of spirits and large and varied assort- ment of whiskey, according to the papers field with Judge Knox.

The age-old challenge of Come on in; it ain't cold.'' was the password at the wadding poo in Walnut Hill park yesterday afternoon as more than 250 kiddies satisfied their deep lying desire for swim. Attired in bathing suits of varied size, hue. and state of completeness, in regular street clothes, and in last winters fannels, young New Britain went thoroughly about getting wet and cool, while a score of mothers looked on from the edge of the pool and cooled off by proxy.
 The scene was a riot in more re- spects than color. There was the ever present racing, splashing, duckins and wrestling, with a generous dose of both verbal and literal mud -slinging. Wet bathing suits were effectively used as clubs upon the unWary. Some body's neektie spent furious half hour of flying about the pool and then, forgotten. sank into the depths.
