NEW YORQ. March 16.--A mass of direct testimony and documentary evil dence indicating the connection of cer- tain American wool importing and manufacturing concerns with an al- legged conspiracy to insure German in terests a balance of power in the worlds textile market after the war was in the possession of state author itieA at the close tonight of an inquiry conducted by State Attorney General Lewis.
 Attorney Becker, who had active charge of the investigation, indicated that a transcript of the evidence taken would be furnished the war trade board at Washington, which, -t is expected, will revoke the exporting and import ing licenses of those firms which it may be found violated their trade agreements by acting as dummies" in the purchase for German account of wool and textiles in South Africa, Aus tralia, South America and elsewhere.
 Acted as German Agent
 A feature of todays session of the inquiry was an admission by Otto Kuhn, wool manager of the Botany Worsted Mills of Passair N. J., that his company had acted as the agent of the German interests in bringing wool
  States in 1915. This was done. he said after the company had agreed to abide by restrictions imposed by the Textile Alliance incorporated to which the American and British governments gave regulatory powers designed to prevent these materials from reaching Germany.
 Preceding Kuhn as witness, Thomas Prehn, naturalized German, president Of the Botany mills, testified that a majority of the company's stock was owned by Germans, although many of the German-owned shares were held in trust ey Americans. According to MT. Becker the wool hoarding" scheme was conceived by Eugene Schwerdt, a wealthy wool merchant of New York and Boston, arrested February 25 and now awaiting interment as an enemy alien.
 That SchWerdts plan received liberal financial support from the Deutsches Bank was indicated by correspondence read into the records of the inquiry. This bank acted as financial agency in all the alleged illegal transactions and m some cases, allowed it's name to be used as consignee.
