TRACE $4,000
STOCK DEAL OF
BANKRUPT CO.
Witness Says $4,000 Check
Was Given to BagIin in Lo-
cal Saloon.

How $4,000 worth of the sto < Of
the HI nkIupt Kearny Hat Wo. rs was
disposed of a week before the failure
of the at company was explained in
the Bankruptcy Court, before Referee
Edwin c. Adams. yesterday, by Philip
Bonner, of Bonner & Co, fur manu-
faet1rers, of this city. Mr.. Bonner
is also assistant treasurer of the Hat
ters' Fur Exchange of New York city.
He was put through aacross-exami-
nation ON the witness stand by
Nathan Bidder, counsel for number
of the creditors of the bankrupt hat
company. Mr. Bidder has already in
stituted a suit in the Supreme Court
to recover $4,000 from Bonner as re-
suit of the transactions when the
Kearny Hat Works stock was dis
posed of.
The Hatters' Fur Exchange of New
York city held two notes for $1,000 each
against the Kearny Hat Works. on
the stand yesterday Bonner testified
that he borrowed $4,000 from the ex-
change one week. before the kearny
Hat Works failed and bought out the
raw stock of the hat works.
He explained that the deal was
closed in local saloon. William
Campbell, of the Fur Exchanges;
Bonner and William A. Baglin. presi-
dent of the Kearny Hat Works. were
in the cafe at the time.
Bonner said that he handed check
for $4,000 to Baglin. This was to pay
for the stock Bonner bought of the
hat company, which is alleged to be
worth $4,000. Baglin, Bonner said,
then Endorsed the check and handed
it over to Campbell. The latter gave
Baglin the two notes the exchange
held against the hat works The
notes were not due when they were
taken up.
Donner's check books. produced in
court, showed he did not have enough
money to buy the stock and that he
borrowed it of the exchange. Bonner
said the deal was completed all at
once, because Bagnn was not to be
trusted with the money, in his opin-
ion.
Attorney Bilder alleges the trans
action was a scheme to freeze out the
other creditors and protect the Fur
Exchange.

Special TO the Evening HthAs
TRENTON. Aug. 2S.-If further in
vestigations bear out the facts now
IN the possession Of United States
District Attorney ]. Warren Davis,
here. number of indictments for
4hose responsible for unwarranted in
creases in the prices of foodstuffs in
this State will probably be asked
when the Federal grand jury con-
venes here on September s.
The facts upon which action will
probably be taken have been received
by the district attorney from all sec
lions of the State They have come
in response to his request for 90
operation from the citizens and show
unwarranted increases in prices
which are carefully being tabulated.
Probe Is State Wide.
oThis information" said the dis
frict attorney, discussing the matter
as being investigated and viii con-
finue to be investigated by special
officers from the department of JUS
ltice at Washington and from this
Office. I am making a strenuous ef-
fort to collect data all over the State
There is nothing we are leaving I'M
done to get at the facts concerning
the increases. So far as we nave
been able to ascertain at this time
there Is no real and economic cause
which is at all justiflable for this
raising of prices. At present 1t looks
as though il is simply an occasion
which Is being taken advantage OF
for the purpose Of boosting prices
without any justification whatever
and if further investigation corrobor-
ates what has SO far been ascertained
there will be a number of proseeu-
lions In this State"

ing the week arranging with the de-
partment of justice for assistance of
a temporary nature
Counselor John A. Hartpence, a
Snember of the bar of this county, was
appointed special assistant to the dis
frict attorney, at the latter's solicita-
hon, for special cases in this district.
Mr.. Hartpence will probably be con-
nected with the Office here for several
months, and Mr.. Davis said that the
former will help in the proceedings
should action be taken against those
responsible for the increases in prices.
Thinks Prices should Be Lower.
That the European conflict should
have a tendency to lower, rather than
increase. the cost of food is the
opinion of the district attorney. I'm
some instances" declared Mr.. Davis.
there seems to be justification for a
decrease in prices. Many products
which We have been exporting to
Europe now are detained on account
of the war. and, instead of advancing
in price. they should have 1essened.
Vet in some of these very cases there
have been increases. and somebody
will be called upon to explain. This
office does not purpose to allow these
price bosters to enrich themselves at
the expense Of the working people all
over the State" Just who the re-
sponsible parties are the district at
tornev did not disclose. but said he
would go the limit in an effort to con-
Wet any and every man found to
cave taken advantage of the war
situation TO raise the foodstuff prices.
