VERA CRUZ, Mexico, Dec IL
The 32.581-ton German liner Co.
lumbus slipped out of Vera Cruz in
the darkness early today on what
was an apparent attempt to run the
Atlantic and reach German port
through the allied naval blockade.
Also at sea was the German
freighter Arauca, which cleared
Vera Cruz Harbor with a mixed
cargo of fiber. nitrates and other
consignments for New Orleans.
The Columbus, a rich war prize If
it falls into the hands of allied war
ships, obtained papers for a trans
Atlantic crossing.
The secrecy OF her departure was
because of the presence of British
warships patroling Gulf and Carib-
bean waters.
Left Early Today.
Representatives of the Columbus
had given Oslo, Norway, as her
destination in obtaining clearance
papers and since yesterday after
noon the vessel had been at liberty
to sail without further notice to
Mexican authorities.
The port captains Office said the
Columbus left her anchorage at
Anton Lizardo early this morning
and was soon out of Mexican waters.
There was some speculation as to
whether she might be used to sup

feet above the water line there is a
big hole. 1t is about S or feet in
diameter. The edges of the hull are
bent outward, which made me think
when saw her that something must
have exploded inside the ship.
Il also noticed the forward obser-
vation tower had been split right
through. One of the towers near
the forward 6-inch guns was prac-
tically torn from its base.
THE airplane on the catapult
also was damaged and the top was
torn off. Debris was all over the
place. They were repairing the
ship, believe, to put on full speed
and get ready for the sea again.
This morning I could not see the
British cruisers reported lying of
the harbor, although I had a good
pair, of glasses"
N. B. c. said that the dead on the
Graf Spec would be brought ashore
late this afternoon and buried in
the neutral territory of Uruguay.
The announcer pointed out also
that the Tacoma could not transfer
the fuel oil to the Graf Spec in the
bay of a neutral port-that any such
maneuver would have to be carried
on outside.

Attorney General Murphy went

connection with the Governments
inquiry into charges concerning

failure of foreign agents to register,
as required by law.
The Nations chief law officer went
first to the Office of United States

conferred with Assistant United

Proceedings before the grand jury
are secret, and it could not be
learned exactly what the Attorney

Emerging from the grand jury

men he had come to District Court
merely to observe the proceedings.
He said he thought he would return

Graf Spec Sank 2 British Vessels

BERLIN, Dec. 14.-The German
high command asserted today that
the German pocket battleship Ad-

British merchantmen Tairoa and
Streons Hall when she was encoun-
tered by three British cruisers in the
South Atlantic yesterday
Authorized sources at the same
time vigorously denied that the Graf
Spec would be interned in Monte
video, where it went after being
damaged in the sea battle.
These sources said the ship went
to Montevideo merely to bury 36
dead seamen and to provide hospital
treatment for gassed and wounded
men and replenish yictuals damaged
by mustard gas which the British
were accused of using.

Threats of work holiday and legal

incomes earned in Philadelphia.
1t required only 10 minutes yes

measure which would require en-

of their employees, whether or not
they live in the city.
Councilmen expect $4,000 900 an

bring the city's budget into balance.
