BELGIANS SEIZE
 GERMAN PROPERTY
Take Rolling Stock as Penalty for
 Non-Payment of Indemnity

Brussels, Nov. 26. - The Belgian government today seized German roll ing stock at Duisburg and Hamborn in view of Germany's failure to reply to Belgium's ultimatum demanding an indemnity of 1,250,000 francs for the assassination of Lieutenant Graf, near Dusseldorf in March, 1922.
 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- fled that the amount claimed as in- demnity would be confiscated in the occupied region should Germany fail to pay.
 The shooting of Lieutenant Graf 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 lieutenant to De 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.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Investiga- ton by the Department of Justice in- to the legal phases of the case of Charles l.. Craig, comptroller of New York city, sentenced by Federal Judge Mayer to sixty days in jail for con- tempt of court, has been ordered by President Coolidge.
 The orders given by the president 10 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 officials last week by Edward P. Doyle. New York attorney, and numerous letters bearing on the case have been received at the White House. C. Bascom Slemp. secretary 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 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 week ago refused re- view but also into whether a presi- dential pardon can be granted in a ease of civil contempt Legal experts Of the Department Of Justice, on the basis Of preliminary study, say there is no precedents for presidential pardon in civil contempt proceedings, although several presidents have granted pardons in criminal contempt cases.
