CONCERNS MAY BE SEIZED Discrepancies Found In Values Given for Securities Enemy Alien-Property Custodian Starts Inquiry. NEW TORK, July 15. Suspicion by A. Mitchell Palmer that German Inter ests have practiced subterfuge In the purported sale of German-owned chem- cal company stock In America to Amer ican interests has resulted . In an In quiry begun here today by Merton E. Lewis, State Attorney-General. Stocks which German interests, chiefly the gold and silver refinery of Frank fort, Germany, owned before the United States entered the war. in three allied chemical companies in America, have for several years been earning huge dividends. In the face of this, some of this stock was sold to American interests at nom inal prices, according to Investigators. It is the purpose of the alien property custodian to learn whether the stock transferral was merely a deception and whether or not this stock is today con trolled by GTtnan interests. If this is proved. It was indicated, the next step would be seizure by Mr. Palmer of the three American concerns the Roessler & Hasplacher Chemical Company, of New York ; the Niagara Electro-Chemical Company, Niagara Fall. N. 1.. and the Perth Amboy Chemical Company, of Perth Amboy, N. J. Capital Stock Transferred. These three concerns before the war were controlled by the Frankfort Re finery, with American interests own ing 4 5 per cent of the stock. By wire- ess Just before America entered the war. 7 per cent more was transferred to these American Interests, according to today's testimony, making 52 per cent American-owned. - According to testimony given by W A'. Hamann. an officer or a director In all of the companies, transfer of 3800 shares of Roessler & Hasslacher stock was made at $200 a share; 400 shares of the Niagara Electro stock at $240 a share, and 80 shares of Perth Amboy Chemical stock at $200 a share. Alfred L. Becker, Deputy Attorney- General, brought out that, regarding the .Niagara Chemical stock, account ants in going over the company's books found that the book value of the stock as reckoned by the company itself was $310 a share. Millions Paid In Dividends. Mr. Becker's purpose In bringing out the prices at which this stock was transferred from German to American control was to contrast them with the concessions made by Mr. Hamann in his testimony regarding the amounts of the dividends paid by these three companies. Since 1913 these dividends have- aggregated more than $2,000,000, one of the companies during one year paying dividends totaling 1100 per cent, rower contracts at Niagara Fall which are held by the Niagara Electro chemical Company, were the subject of Investigation today. Mr. Hamann, questioned regarding these, said that as they carried right to renewals they will be held by the company until 1936. Horsepower at Bargain. It was brought out that In these circumstances Uie company paid $18 per horsapower In 1SS6. Today, ac cording to the Government, this, power is worth $40 per horsepower, and could be sublet by the company at an im mense profit. The purpose of adducing this evi dence. It is understood, also was con trasted with the prices Quoted bv the fGerman commercial interests in trans ferring stock to Americans. The hearing will be resumed Monday. quently mad over-night as further means of camouflage. Evidence Indicated further, ft , was said.- that large sums were sent to South- America for propaganda work in Latin-American countries.
