Down at the Union and Burlington

crimson and white OF the japanese empire.

FIRST BIG FISH IN THE NET

NEW YORK, Nov 12-After months Of
quiet work behind the scenes by the gov
ernment investigators, who have been
scrutinizlng the ns and outs of the com
plicated sugar import frauds, there came
suddenly today the indictment and arrest
of an important former officer of the
American Sugar Refining company charged
with conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment by false Weighing of sugar. The man
arrested is James Il. Bendernagel, for more
than thirty years superintendent of the
Havemyer & Elder refinery in Williams
burg, the largest plant of the American
Sugar Refining company. 1t was regarded
as significant that BendeTnagel's resigna-
ton from this responsible position was an
nounced by thecompany only yesterday.
He was arrested this afternoon.
When arraigned before United States
Commissioner Benedict and asked to give
S 900 bail for his appearance at an exam
inaton set for next Monday, he produced
roll Of bills from a waistcoat pocket and
counted out the required amount in cash.
The indictment returned against Bender
nagel is of the blanket variety, including
in Its terms also the so-called Big Six
oliver Spitzer, Thomas Kehoe Edward A.
Boyle Jean NJ. Voelker, John r. Coyle
and Patrick ]. Hennessey all of whom
have been previously indicted on similar
charges. The six were Bendernagers as
sociates in the capacity Of agents and boss
weighers at the Williamsburg plant
The specific charges against Benderna-
gel are that he defrauded the government
out Of duty to the amount of 81, ,694 in con-
nection with the false entry of the 9,OO0,-
COO-pound sugar cargo Of the steamer Eva
which arrived from Cuba on August "a,
! 1907. A little more than 100000 pounds was
! clipped off the real weight of the cargo
when the customs charges were computed,
| according to the indictment.
At one point the Indictment refers to the
old charges made against four members
of the big Six" alleging the use Of fraud
ulent devices on the scales used at the
docks to short weigh sugar for the pur-
pose of avoiding customs charges, 1t was
in connection with these charges that the
government last spring recovered 81, 1876 900
in duties and penalties.
