POLICE GRAFT CASE
DELAYED FOR WEEK
District Attorneys Office Wants
More Time to Probe Certain
Phases of Charges.

Investigation Of alleged police graft
by the District Attorneys office will
continue at least a week longer and no
evidence will be submitted to the grand
jury before next Wednesday.
The grand jury met today. but took a
recess until next Wednesday. United
States Attorney Laskey has directed his
assistant. S. McComas Hawken. to In
vestigate certain phases Uf the accusa-
tions more deeply. and it was on this
account that action by tho grand jury
was postponed.
Mr.. Laskey took occasion today to
lay the police force q high compliment
saying the officers as q whole We're
Exceptionally efficient" In his opin-
ion any graft Is connfied to compare
lively few officers and tho investiga-
ton will disclose no extensive corrup-
ton.
Mr.. Hawken has not yet submitted a
detailed report to Mr.. Laskey. He was
engaged today in finishing his report,
but 1t Is unlikely he will make any
recommendations before next week. as
he Is anxious to corroborate testimony
gwen oy certain women regarding the
officers.
With the exception of one woman
from Atlantic City. no witnesses were
examined by Mr.. Hawken today, but

ON COTTON
IS BEING PREPARED
"Burden of Proof" on American
Shipper Causes More Worry
For State Department.

The understanding in official quar-
tiers that Great Britain intends to put
the burden Of proof on the American
shipper OF cotton when cargoes Of that
staple are seized as contraband. fur
nished the State Department today an
additional cause for protest.
A telegram was received from Am
bassador Page, at London. transmitting
royal British proclamation placing
raw cotton. linters: and cotton yarn on
This dispatch was the official con-
firmation OF the action Of the British
government making cotton contraband.
The department now has in prepara-
ton note Of protest concerning the
recent contraband cotton decree. as
we'll as the general blockade situation
brought about by the previous order IN
council. In seizing cotton cargoes
ain has endeavored to make the shipper
prove the cargo was not intended ulti-
mately to reach one Of Englands enc
mics. 1t Is now understood Great Brit
ain will employ the same methods ~ ~
contraband decree.
Burden of Proof.
1t Is the position Of the State Depart
ment that the burden of proof should
be upon the nation seizing the cargo
and attempting to confiscate it. IN
stead of forcing shippers to prove that
seizure Is Illegal and the detained
cargo Is really for a neutral country.
this Government insists Great Britain
should be required to prove that the
seizure is legal.
The old shioncd American doctrine
that a man Is innocent until proven
guilty applies, in effect, to the present
diplomatic situation. The United States
Is expected to demand that Great Brit
ain apply this principle to the cotton
seizure question.
Expect Strong Reply.
The protest against the British at
tempt to shoulder off the proof Of
cotton shipment destinations onto the
shipper Undoubtedly will draw q
strong reply from Washington. 1t was
said.
If the cotton shippers were forced
into such a stand. 1t would not only
be in contradiction of all legal prin-
ciples. officials declared, but would
enable Great Britain to seize vessels
in prize court for an indefinite period
until the shipper could prove the
shipments neutral destination and
aside from imposing a terrific finan-
cial burden upon the shipper. open up
the way for a resumption OF the no
torious delay of British prize courts.
which already has drawn a request
for more speed from the American
Government.
1t is believed Great Britain will not
attempt to any great degree. to avoid
assuming the proof Of cotton des-
tinations. but little hope was express
ed in official circles that any Ameri-
can protest would invalidate the con-
traband order.

damned lie." that there ought to be a
way Of having the ship news man dis
charged. Later. however. he answered
the above questions and made the
above assertions.
Mr.. koelblc denied that he went to
Germany to carry any message con-
cerning the attitude Of German Amer

not talk with any OF the German Of
