Owned Companies Trans

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.

The attack was along a front of ap

Germans back out- of the village of
Castel and the Ancien Farm, about a
mile to the south, and cleared out a
number of strong enemy positions. The
French penetrated the German lines to
