Tt is to be regretted that the New

putting forth it's best efforts to cam
outage itself into a so-called Hinde-

| and assistant factory manager OF the
Rensselaer, plant of the Bayer COM
pany. makers OF aspirin. other drugs.
| chemicals and dyes, was brought to
the New York Port Enemy Alien Bu-
reau yesterday. He was arrested at
Albany on a Presidential warrant as
a suspected dangerous enemy alien.
He Is the sixth officer or employe of
the Bayer company, which is in the
hands OF the Alien Property Custodi-
an, to be arrested as the result of an
investigation into an alleged con-
spiracy to withhold a substantial part
OF the Bayer company property from
the Alien Property Custodian.
DR.. Mothwurf came to the United
States to live permanently in 1914
He was born in Bavaria His wife
and child ARE in Germany. He was
committed by Rufus w. Sprague, jr..
chief Of the Enemy Alien Bureau. to
the Mercer county Jail, Trenton. to
await examination.
Mothwurf is alleged to have been a
party to the transfer of $4,000 from
the treasury of the Bayer Company to
buy the Williams & Orwell Company
OF Providence, makers OF sulphuric
colors. This was part of the pur-
chase price of 100000. Mothwurf is
alleged to have transferred $4,000 in
cash to a naturalized American OF
German birth. The American bought
the Williams & Crowell Company
stock. 1t Is alleged that to protect
Mothwurf he gave notes for $4,000,
payable six months after the end Of
the war"
The williams & CroweIl Company
was reorganized after the purchase.
according to Government officials,
and its stock was apportioned among
dummies with American citizenship.

drug and dye cmpany which would
profit during the war by meanS of
a highly advantageous contract with
the Bayer Company and be in q posi-
tion at the close OF the war to begin
active competition with the American
trade.
