REICHSTAG DISSOLUTION

New Leader Gained Great Noto-

BERLIN, November 26.-The efforts
of DIR. Heinrich F. Albert, former
minister of the treasury, to form a
new German cabinet had borne no
visible fruit up to this afternoon. 1t
was believed that If ministry should
take office under DR.. Albert's chan

mark the transition stage to disso-
luton of the national parliament.
President Ebert's invitation to DIR.

The invitation was extended DIR.
Albert Sunday after tho members of
the deposed Stresemann ministry and
the various parliamentary leaders
had informed the president that the
present situation in the reichstag
would prevent the installation of a
coalition government which would
be assured a working majority in the
legislative body The president re-
called DR.. Albert and pI evailed upon
him to reconsider the decltnation to

the executive last Friday.

1t was hardly expected from the
first, however. that DR.. Albert would
be able to get together a ministry
which would stand the test of a
reichstag vote, the idea apparently
being that it would serve as a means
of carrying on governmental affairs

come.
DIR. Albert gained great notoriety
in the United States in the early part
of the world war. In 1915 he was

Gov. Preus of Minnesota
Holds State Can Regu-
late Industry.
FULL CONTROL OF MINES
I ADVOCATED AT PARLEY
Governors Conference Told Public
Is Justified in Anger
Over Prices.
By the Associated Press.

HARRISBURG. Pa, November 20
Gov. Preus of Minnesota, in the out
line Of a plan for reducing anthracite
coal prices, submitted today at the
conference here of representatives of
anthracite consuming states, called
upon Gov. Pinchot to call a special
session of the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture for the purpose of having the
anthracite industry declared a public
business.
The legislature. he declared, can
regulate the production of coal, it's
preparation for use and can fix the
price. Federal legislation should
regulating the distribution and trans
portatton of coal. He expressed doubt
that Congress can remedy the situa-
ton to anywhere near the extent that
Pennsylvania can.
Government control of the anthra-
cite coal industry by state and feder-
al action and by compact between
the anthracite-consumin states es-
tablishing a commission to enforce
regulations to be agreed upon by the
governors was proposed by Gov. Pin
chot of Pennsylvania in an address.
Such a commission as he proposed
the governor said, pooling the po-
lice powers of the states concerned
could, in cooperation with federal
authority over interstate commerce
completely regulate the whole indus
try from the mine to the consumers
bin
Aims mt Lower Prices.
Today's conference was called by
Gov. Pinchot to consider a specific
program of legislation designed to
keep down coal prices. In his ad-
dress he set forth three suggestions
for such a program:
That the state executives use such
powers as they now have to assure
clean coal by publicity as to fraudu-
lent practices; that they ascertain
and make public extortions being
practiced and by whom; that they
disseminate informatio as to- fuel
economy and substitutes. and that
they act jointly In appealing to the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
consideration of anthracite freight
rates.
That the federal government estab-
merce standards for clean coal and
for sizes; that It license all those
engaged in the Interstate anthracite
trade; that 1t authorize the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to deny
cars to profiteers, and that it inves-
tigate and publish facts.
States Treaty Advocated.
That the anthracite using states
under a provision of the federal Con-
stitution agree upon the form of
regulation that will best work to
the advantage of their people,, and
negotiate a treaty or compact to
establish a joint commission to en-
force 1t.
Governors of thirty states had been
requested to attend and acceptances

COOLIDGE ORDERS
CRAIG CASE PROBE
Daugherty to Decide if Par
don Is Feasible for New
York Controller.

Investigation by the Department of
Justice into the legal phases of the
case of Charles L. Craig, controller
of New York city, sentenced by Fed
eral Judge Mayer to sixty days in
Jail for contempt of court. has been
ordered by President Coolidge.
The orders given by the President
to make the investigs ton 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, hOio, as
serting that the inquiry would be
expedited.
The question of a presidential par
don for Controller Craig was brought
to the attention of White House off,
cials last week by Edward p. Doyle.
New York attorney, and numerous
letters bearing on the case have bean
received at the White House c. Bas-
com Slemp, secretary to the President,
who spent the week end in New York,
discussed the case with republican
leaders there and Senator Copelan1,
democrat, new York, had an engage
ment today to make a formal appeal
to the President for pardon.
The inquiry is understood to be
directed not only into the procedure
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-
Dental pardon can be granted in the
case of civil contempt. Legal experts
of the Department of Justice, on the
basis of preliminary study, say there
are no precedents for presidential
pardon in civil contempt proceedings,
although several Presidents have
granted pardons in criminal contempt
cases.
In addition to Senator Copeland, So
licitor General Beck conferred with
the President today, and although he
wolf4d say only that the President has
asked him for some information, it
was understood that he also discussed
the Craig case.
