SUGAR SUIT BARES
HUGE LAND CLAIM
State Plans Fight Over
S2OO,OOO,OOO Worth of
River Property.

The suit recently filed by the At
torneV General TO oust the American
Sugar Refining Company from valuable
East River front property il now occu-
pies in the Williamsburg section OF
Brooklyn because of an alleged viola
ilon of the terms of the grant to the
property by the state is TO be followed
by similar suits against other holders
Of property in that section valued at
close TO 5000 OO0. 600 it became known
yesterday.
These suits. il is said. may he filed
at once or allowed to wait until the
suit against the American Sugar Re
fning Company is decided by the
courts. il being in the nature Of test
case.
The complaint against the sugar COM
pany is that on the property from
South Cd TO South 9TH street, where
permission was granted to build piers
factories have been erected. The com
plaint is similar against much OF the
property lying between North "a ana
North 9TH street.
Among other property holders there
IS the Havemeyers & Elder Refinery on
whose grounds ii is now proposed TO
erect an office building and a ware
house. In a way all the property hold
ers in the district are affected, ior
while not all of them have done more
.han the strict letter Of their grants TO
use land under water permits, the ma
ioritv have done so, and any decision
against them would naturally anect
those who might wish TO do new build
ing in the future.
All the grants in question are what
ie known as commerce grants and
" ere made by the state within the
years 1865 and 1884. Each grant was
made with the purpose of aiding COM
rnerce BY allowing the abutting land
owners to build piers and wharves for
the accommodation Of shipping. In the
case now I'm court an immense manu-
facturins plant has been erected.
Among the large property interests
in the district affected by the threat
ened suits are the Reading and the
Central of New Jersey railroads, which
have freight yards in the district, as
have the New York Central. the Penn
svlvania and the Lehigh Valley; the
Pratt Oil Works, the American Cohee
Company and the Brooklyn Eastern
Terminus Company
Deputy Attorney General w. j..
McOuaide. who has charge Of the SUIT
now pending. said yesterday that he
could not discuss any future action
Attorney General Carmody might de-
eide to file.
"The Attorney General already has a
test case in the courts he said. That
;s a matter of record. What may fol-
Inv / do not know, and if did would
not care to say until something had
been done"

POISONED NEEDLE
A BLIND FOR THEFT
Pay Clerk Told Story of Being
Drugged-He and His Brother
Arrested-Money Found.

The poisoned needle" was made TO
do duty yesterday in the story OF
5000 robbery, which, like the needle
itself, was mythical Charles I. Mon
garela. one of the pay clerks of the
kenwood Contracting Company, told
the story: then altered it, the police
say. to "a confession that resulted in
his arrest on a charge Of grand larceny.
Later his brother vas arrested as being
his accomplice.
With Charles T. Engal, another pay
clerk, Mongarella was on the way to
Hackensack to pay off the laborers
employed there by the firm. They
walked together to the Hudson Ter
minal intending to take tube train
for Hackensack. when suddenly Mon
earela complained to Engal that he
felt dizzy as from the effects of drug.
There was a sting in his arm, he said,
which felt as though a drug had been
injected with a hypodermic needle. He
collapsed when he felt in his pocket
and said the packet Of money was
gone.
Detectives Gilday and Reynolds of
the Greenwich street police station, ar
rived with the ambulance called. When
convinced by Dr.. Blanchard, of the
h.t
rella showed no signs of being drugged
they took the pay clerk 10 Police Head
quarters. Here he said it was all a
ruse.
According TO the. detectives, Mon
garella confessed to passing the money
10 an accomplice who met him by pre-
arrangement in Pearl street. They say
he told them his theft was due to his
own generosity in loaning friends
money which lately exceeded his al
lOwance of pay.
Mongarella lives at No. 15S Crescent
Place, Sherwood Road. Yonkers.
Engal reported to the Office Of the
Hackensack will be paid to-day.
Acting Captain Tunney and De-
tectives Clair and Raftis went up TO
the Mongarella home in East Yonk-
ers, last night and arrested Morris
Mongarella, the eighteen year old
brother of the pay clerk, who is also
employed by the Kenwood company
as a stenographer in its Pearl street
Office. At the time Of the arrest the
detectives took Charles Mongarella
with them. and the police say that
Morris Mongarella finally broke down
and confessed that the whole affair
was a Put up job in the manner de-
scribed' by his brother. The package
Of money was recovered intact.
The Mongarelas were locked up in
the Greenwich street police station, and
will be arraigned in the Jefferson Mar
ket police court this morning.
According to the story given out by
the police Yesterday afternoon, the
packet of money which Charles T. Mon
garella is said TO have slipped TO his
brother Morris contained $500 The
packet recovered later on at Yonkers
from Morris Mongarella, they say, con-
tanned 81, 500.
