HE|NZE IN BAD

OFFICERS
COURT ORDER DEMANDS
PRODUCTION OF BOOKS
F ederaI Prosecutor Determined
That Missing Records of
United Copper Company Shall
Be Surrendered to Judge,

IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wire
| New York, May 2S.-Where are the
United Copper company's books. =!
Federal officials hunted for them to-
night without success. They must be
in the federal court here next Tues
day or the companys directors will
| be found guilty of contempt.
This sensational development came
as Il result of todays grand jury In
vestgation of f. Augustus Hein2e's
affairs in connection with the alleged
| misapplication Of the Mercantile Ma
tional bank funds.
United States District Attorney Wise
obtained from Judge Lacombe an or
der directing certain United Copper
company directors to produce the
concerns books in court forthwith or
be declared in contempt.
The directors named Sanford Rob-
inston, Carter Glass, William j. Cur
It's and Horace Able. reported to the
court that they were unable to COM
ply because Mr.. Heinze, president Of
the United Copper company had re-
fused to give them the books or tell
wherc they were, giving as his reason
that he was under indictment and
subject to further investigation. They
said they would make every effort to
get into the company's vaults and
search for the books.
The directors further told the court
that they had called a special meet
ing Of the directorate to take place
five days hence when Heinze and
Secretary treasurer Clifford would be
deposed from their official positions
with the company. Heinze, the direc-
tors said told them that Clifford took
the minute books with him to Europe
Judge Lacombe said that under the
circumstances he would be lenient.
He fixed Tuesday afternoon as the
time for them to report again, and
added
THE court appreciates the honest
efforts of the directors to get out OF
the scrape They are unfortunate in
getting associated with man who is
too terrified to allow his books TO be
examined.
AS long as the books are on earth
and have not been burned, the effort
must be made to produce them"
The mutilation of books of a cor
poration as charged by District At
lpIuty w lSe Is CRIME unutf tllt
state law. The federal statutes cover
the removal of the books and under
them such an act may be construed
as grand larceny Mr.. Wise declared
Heinze was trying to keep the books
from the court and that the directors
had shown themselves to be dummies
in Helnze's hands.
This man Heinze," he continued
thinks he can send away these other
men and hold the books himself, so |
that he can refuse to produce them |
himself on the ground that they |
would incriminste him | had Mr.. |
Heinze before the grand jury today |
but did not put him under oath be- |
cause | did not want to give him inn |
The production Of the books, Mr.. |
Wise said was important because he |
