Guilty
OF Contempt.
Maver L inds
Federal Judge Orders City
Comptroller to Appear in
Court Feb. "a; Suggests
Retracsion of Charges
Had Criticized Jurist
Asserted Tribunal Was De-
nying Access to Data
Regarding Transit Lines

Comptroller Charles L. Craig was
found guilty of contempt of court yes
terday by Judge Julius M. Mayer in
the United States District Court.
This action was the outcome of
letter written by Mr.. Craig to Public
Service Commissioner Lewis Nixon on
October 6, 1919, in which he said that
Judge Mayer was denying, through his
court orders, access by the Board of
Estimate and Jther officials to informa.
ton regarding the B. R. T. and New
York Railways receiverships.
Mr.. Craig is to be directed to appear
before the court on February "a, Eat
which time such further proceedings
will be had as may be proper"
Judge Mayer in his decision says
that it is manifestly the duty of the
defendant to do all in his power to
repair the wrong he has done.
Wants No Personal Apology
"It is not wrong with which the
Judge concerns himself in a personal
sense" writes Judge Mayer, "and for
that reason no personal apology is de-
sired or required. The wrong has been
perpetrated against the administration
of Justice.
"The reparation which is within the
power of the defendant is promptlysto
make and file in the office of the clerk
of the court an unqualified retraction
of the. false statements respecting the
court."e
Mr.. Craig was charged with con-
tempt of court on November 3, 1919,
by means of an information. An order
to show cause why the defendant
should not be declared in contempt was
issued. Counsel for Craig appeared
and raised the question of the courts
jurisdiction. He was overruled.
Decision Long After Trial
A demurrer was then interposed to
the information on twenty-eight
grounds. The court overruled the de-
murrer and ordered the defendant to
plead to the information on March Is,
1920. Craig pleaded not guilty. The
trial began on May 10, 1920, and ended
on June 10. Briefs were submitted in
the fall. The decision was rendered
yesterday.
The letter from Craig came out of
request by Mr.. Nixon that all parties
interested in the transit situation, in
Guiding members of the Board of Esti-
mate, meet in conference. Craig did
not attend, but wrote the letter, which
was read at the meeting.
In the opinion of Judge Mayer, the
charge that the court had denied to
public officials access to original
sources Of information and that it had
adopted and practiced such a policy
was one. of the graYest charges which |
could be made against court. Craig at
the trial denied that he intended con
tempt.

Yes - there are MANY
changes in the mode. This
is pleasant news, because
Paris has remained true IN
several silhouettes during
the last few seasons.
The large hat has returned II
favor, but not to the exclusion
of the always chic small hat,
That the chapeau petite is not
restricted to the turban this
season is established in several
models from Alice ct Nora.
Many exquisite influences
make the modes intensely
interesting. Indeed, it is
extraordinary that the
modistes have turned to
such varied sources for
their inspiration.
Quite the most unusual trot.
teur hat was obviously inspired
by the Spanish toreador's hat.
The picturesque Mantilla gave
the thought for charming hat
of lace and flowers for restau.
rant wear.
A curious little sport hat is
of red leather (the fine soft
kind of which Russian boots
are made), and the style is typi.
cal of the picturesque Russian
head-dress.
There is a tricorne that is 50
true to those worn more than a
century ago in France that one
expects to see it worn with a
powdered wig.
One of the most unique hats
is by SUZANNE TALBOT; /.
is of fine Milan straw, and as
the brim is made to form cut
spread wings in the front It is
untrimmed, except for a wee
bow of the straw in the back.
How we wish we could
tell about all the hats
those trimmed with flowers,
others with ribbons, and
the numerous ways ostrich
has been used; also the
clever uses of velvet; and
about t h e exquisite
colors

her testimony charged that her hus-
band was drug addict and that he
frequently threatened to kill her, and
had mistreated her and the two chill
dren since 1918.
Last July reversal of Judge Lind
sey's decision, in which custody of
the, children was given to the mother,
was asked of the Colorado Supreme
Court by Stokes, the claim being made
that Judge Lindsey's action was be-

Court, and was an interference with
the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
Of New York. Sixty-three errors in
the trial before Judge Lindsey were
assigned in Stokes,s netition.
