SHIP SEIZURE CASE BASED ON TREATY Supreme Court May Interpret British Liguor Pact in Operators’ Appeals. Interpretation of the British liquor treaty of 1924 by the Supreme Court 13 now asked In a case arising out of the seizure two vears ago of the British vessel Quadra off the Cali- fornia coast.

The Government is expected to con. tend that Great Britain intended to permit American courts not only to condemn its vessels and seized liquor laden within one hour of the Ameri- can coast, but also to try those sub- jects charged with operating such craft. — paeol- . §750,000 LEFT IN WILL FOR DOWN-AND-OUTERS Bequest by New Yorker, Recently Deceased, Provides Free Lodg- ing and Board.
