Gem THEFT VICTIM
HIMSELF in JAIL
Partner in Jewelry Firm
Bankrupted by $4,000
Robbery, Arrested.

) When Hugo Bendheim, OF the dia-
mond firm OF Klein & Bendheim, re-
ported June ID last that he had been
robbed OF $4,000 In diamonds on the
/ Hudson River boat Adirondack, Leo
! Klein. his partner, whom the robbery
ruined. turned detective. In conse..
ouence of his work. Assistant United
States Attorney Edward W. Mcdonald
Yesterday caused the arrest OF Bend
/ helm on warrant charging conceal
ment Of assets from the trustee IN
| bankruptcy of the firm. -,
United States Commissioner Hough-
ton held Bendheim in $4,000 bail 1or
a hearing. In default he was commit
ted TO the Tombs, where he spent the
night. ,,
| for many years and has exceilent
standing in the diamond trade. Bend
helm is much younger IN the district
having been engaged in the liquor bust
! ness before Klein, wishing additional
capital. took him into partnership. I'm
mediately after tho robbery the firm
went into bankruptcy, with liabilities
of 100000 and assets Of about 100000.
Henry Goldblum was elected trustee
Iuly 81 and an inquiry was begun into
the circumstances surrounding the rob-
berry.
It developed that on the Saturday
preceding the robbery Bendheim kept
The diamond setter of the firm working
until late and packed all the finished
stock in a dress suit case. Ordinarily
some stock would be left in the office.
Sunday this case was taken from safe
deposit vault and Bendheim started for
Albany. using a river boat for the first
time. He went to dinner above 1on-
kers. and later, when he returned TO
his cabin. preceded by R bellboy, he
found the room had been entered and
most of his jewelry taken from the
case. which had been cut open. A few
peces. worth about $1,000, were scat
tered about the floor.
Ship's officers who responded to his
call had their attention called to finger
prints on the sill Of the window. These
the Albany police photographed, but
they did not correspond with the prints
Of any one on the boat. The only per-
sons Bendheim said he suspected were
the occupants of an adjoining state
room. an elderly woman and her
daughter. who proved TO be stockhold-
ers in the boat line.
The matter rested there until some
time later. when Klein saw a man on
Maiden Lane wearing pin he thought
he recognized. He had just bought i,
he said from a friend of Klein, and o.
fered to resell it. Klein paid him $50
for the pin, which was worth $50, and
turned il over to Goldblum, the trus-
tee. The pin was identified as one of
the pieces reported stolen.
Two other pins were similarly recoy-
cred and identified before the grand
jury. Officers of the Adirondack also
testified that il would be impossible
for any one to enter the stateroom oc-
cupied by Bendheim from the outside,
AZ from il there was straight drop
into the water broken only by two
inch ledge. The marks on the window
sill Of the room. they said. showed an
effort TO force the window from the
inside

FIGURES WHEAT AT
6l9,OOO,OOO BUSHEL
Department of Agriculture
Gives This Estimate OF
Growing Crops.

Washington. April Prospects OF
the winter wheat crop planted last falj
on the greatest acreage in the coun'
try's history are that 619,000,O 900 bush
els will be produced. This estimate by
tho Department Of Agriculture to-da!
is based on the condition OF the grow
ing crop on April /. At that date the
condition was SSS Of normal, against
95.6 last year and $40, the ten-year
average. There was an increase of o.
points from last December. compared
with an average decline OF 81 points
In the last ten years.
Rye condition was Se.5 per cent Of
normal, against el.3 last year and WI
the ten-year average.
The crop reporting board issued TINS
statement:
"The par, or 100 per cent, normal
condition of wheat on April l may be
regarded as equivalent to approximate
" 1919 bushels an acre planted, since
n condition of 1913 would indicate loo
bushels. which on the al 1853, 900 acres
planted would give a total production
of 6l9.000,O00 bushels, as compared
Win u IlDdi tSllHldNt VI VcfjSoN'NNN 80
year. 623 sol 900 two years ago, 399,-
$4,000 three years ago and 43O,60o,-
600 four years ago.
an forecasting this quantity Of 6l9,-
100000 bushels, 1t should be consid-
cred as the amount of which the prob
ability is about equal that the out
turn will be above or below 1t; the crop
will be larger or smaller than this
amount according rs the changes IN
condition from now 20 harvest are
better or worse than average changes
from April i to harvest.
an a general way the wheat crop
suffered more than the average in the
Atlantic coast states rs a result OF
cold, dry. windy March, without ade--
quate snow covering; in the Central
States east of the Mississippi River the
crop declined slightly through the
winter. but not more than usual; re
ports of prevalence Of Hessian fly are
made from many places in this section,
which gives some apprehension.
Great improvement in the condition
was made in the western part of the
grain belt: namely, in Nebraska, Kan
sas and Oklahoma, which caused a gen
eral average condition on April !
slightly higher than on December !.
although the average Of the last ten
years on April l was 81 points lower
than on December /. In the Pacific
Northwest large yields are antici-
pated."

Albany. April $50 much opposition

The Wood bills abolishing the State De

under the Department OF Agriculture
that the Republican leaders did not

When the first Wood bill was reached

the ground that IL would nullify the

EXCHANGE SEATS HIGHER
One at $4,000 Shows Signs
of Returning Prosperity.

One Of the best signs of returning
prosperity to Wall Street is always
found in the prices of Stock Exchange
memberships. Since the upward move
ment in security values began several
weeks ago there had been advances in
the cost Of seats. Yesterday four we're
sold. one bringing $4,000, another
$4,000. the third $4,000, and the
fourth $4,000. the highest price paid
since before the war.
The last named figure is an increase
Of $4,000 over the price paid for a
seat last week. The low record in re-
cent years is $4,000, made last Octo.-
Der, when the exchange was closed.
The names of the principals concerned
In yesterdays transactions will not be
published until to-day, following a
meeting of the membership committee.
