CODLIDGE ENTERS IN CRAIG GONTEST Orders Dept. of Justice to In- vestigate Case Washington, Nov. 26.—Investiga- tion by the Department of Justice in- to the legal phasés of the case of Charles L. Craig, comptroller of New York city, sentenced by IPederal Judge Mayer to sixty days in jail for con- fempt of court, has been ordered by President Coolidge. The orders given by the president to make the investigation were dis- closed today at the White House in connection with the receipt of a tele- "gram from Attorney General Daugh- erty, who is in Columbus, Ohio, as- serting that the inquiry would be ex- pedited. The question of a presidential par- don for Comptroller Craig was brought to the attention of White House officlals last week by Bdward P. Doyle, a New York attorney, and numerous létters bearing on the case have been received at the White House. C. Bascom Slemp, sccretary to the president, who spent the week- end in New York, discussed the case with republican leaders there, and Senator Copeland, democrat, New York, had an engagement today to make a formal appeal to the president for a pardon, The inquiry, it is understood, will be directed not only into the proce- dure of the case from the time Judge Mayer passed sentence until the su- preme court a week ago refused re- view but also into whether a presi- dential pardon can be granted in a of civil contempt Legal experts of the Department of Justice, on the hasis of preliminary study, say there is no precedents for a presidential pardon in civil contempt proceedings, although several presidents have granted pardons in criminal contempt cases, HEARING ON GODKIN WiLL DELAYED TILL DECEMBER § Nieces to Whom $1 Fach Was Left, Dissatisfied With Disposal of Estate the agreement of parties con- cerned, a hearing on the will of Julia | ..

The time limit fixed by the Belgian ultimatum expired last night. Bel- gium had previously rejected an offer from Germany to submit the question to the Hague tribunal for arbitration, and the Berlin government was noti- fied that the amount claimed as in- demnity would be confiscated in the occupied region should Germany fail to pay. + The shooting of Lieutenant Graff occurred while he was riding in a street car between Ruhrort and Wal- sum. His slayers, four members of the German green police, pleaded mis- taken identity, declaring they believed the lleutenant to Be a Belgian they were seeking in order to avenge a German police officer whom he had killed, The stock seized was ready for de- livery from the Duisburg and Ham- born workshops to the German gov- | ernment. The material will be liquid- ated to cover the sums demanded for indemnity and as damages for the family of the murdered officer. BOOZE SHIP TAKEN AFTER HOT BATTLE (Continued from First Page) Trenton this morning notified local authorities that McCoy was wanted in New Jersey on an indictment. Vice Consul Parish of Great Britain is sitting in on today's hearing, but has so far taken no action or render- ed any opinion. It was reported at the custom house that despite any claim of British reg- istry, the vessel was owned by Mec- Coy, an American. Talks Freely As he was led from the cell to face a federal commissioner,” McCoy, well groomed and at his ease, told how he came to be crowned “king of the rum runners.” “I have no tale of woe,” he said. “I was outside the three-mile limit selling good whiskey to anyone and everyone who wanted to buy and had the price. That's going to be my de- fense, 0 . “That's me, Bill, to everybody. Until three years ago I lived with my parents at Daytona, Fla. 1 was a yacht builder, 1 built one for Fred- erick Vanderbilt and another one for Maxine Elliott. In 1921 my father and mother died. Then my bulldog die, and with the last tic to my af- fections in Daytona cut, I went to sea."” Broad Parties MeCoy told how he boughtt a yacht of British registry in Nassau, stock- ed her with liquor under seal and sold it at various American ports. At New York, which he said was his most profitable haven, he declared he re- cruited Broadway parties for pleasure trips at sea. Later he formed a company with two yachts, chartered them to various parties on condition that they would sell liquor only up to 12 miles off shore The Henry Marshall, which was seized off Atlantic City, he de- clared ran into trouble because there was no discipline on board. Tells of Organizations When he as owner of the L. Marshall was indicted for con- spiracy, MeCoy sald, he intended to surrender to the authorities but de- cided against such a step because “of weird tales” of the treatment ac- | corded bootleggers. Then, he con« |tinued, he formed another company |and commissioned the Tomako under Iiritish registry and with a British crew. The vessel, hegaid, sold liquor owside the three-mile limit for more than a year. “The price of my liquor is $22 a giving me a profit of §4 on each T McCoy declared. He said the American consul at Nassau knew “all |along™ that he was sclling liquor out- |#lde the three-mile limit. Peter Sullivan, a federal agent, who participated in several rum raids at Atlantie City, N.
