 Headquarters in New York

New York, Oct. 2.-United States investigation is to be conducted in connection with the statements of Max Jerome Phaff, alleged pirate. under arrest in France. in which he named number of men as members of bootleggine pirates gang,
 Evidence which already has been gathered in an investigation, started last February by department of jus tice men and prohibition agents. has revealed the existence of New York and Canadian gang of pirates which sometimes actually seized ships and at other times collected insurance on cargoes which they represented as having been taken by pirates.
 The headquarteds of the band were in this city, according to Prohi- bition Director R. A. Merrick. and they operated out of Canada, ship ping liquor from St. John, N. B.. presumably for Cuba or Bermuda, but discharging the cargoes off Long Island. One such cargo was seized by pirates off Long Island, Mir. Merrick said the investigation revealed, and was sold off Atlantic Highlands, N. J.
 The members of the crew on the schooner Lutzen from which the liuuor was stolen, were handcuffed and held prisoners for more than two weeks while the liquor was being sold. After the cargo had been dis posed of, the prisoners were taken to Bermuda and released. What be- came of the Lutzen has never been learned.
 John M. Isaacs, of Montreal, a member of the schooner's crew furnished the Investigators with their information. Isaacs said that few days after the Lutzen arrived off Bay Shore. N. Y, a band of pirates, who had either slowed away or slipped aboard from a speedboat confront ed the crew with pistols and made them prisoners.
 A man who said he was "Captair Ford" according to Isaacs threaten ed to drill holes through anybody making trouble" and allowed tho nrisoners on deck only 10 take exer' else. After ten days of bad weather
