DECLARES BOOK GOT IRON CROSS
 FROM GERMANY Wife of Milford Manufac turer, at Hearing, Says
 He Was Pro German. HUSBAND DENIES HER DISLOYALTY CHARGES She Tells How His Relatives Called England and U. $.
 Stupid.

Stating that her husband wore with great pride an Iron Cross ring he re- ceived for buying German war bonds, Theresa Book of New York today con- tested the divorce proceedings brought by H. Anton Book, wealthy Milford manufacturer. She gave this testi- mony before State Referee Silas A. Robinson when the divorce hearing was resumed at the county court house.
 Mrs. Book accused her husband of being pro-German and said most of their trouble, which led to a separa- ton in 1915, was due to his talk against the United States. She said Book would become violent when he
 began to expound German propa- ganda- The wife admitted the Gar man bond purchase and the .pro-Ger- man talk were previous to the en- trance of the United States into the war.
 When they lived with Books rela- tives in Brooklyn, the wife said the pro-German talk was very frequent. She claimed the inmates of the house declared the United States and Eng land were both stupid and that every i thing should be done to stop this country from participating in the war, Mrs. Book denied the charges ot cruelty filed against her by her hus- band She said there was no truth in his story that she attacked him with 8 carving knife. She also denied she , ordered her son to shoot at her hus- ] band with a small rife. At a pre- vious hearing Book asserted his loy- 1 alty to this country and claimed tC have bought S14,oo0 worth of Lib l erty bonds. He was born In Ger 1 many but is a naturalized citizen o1 1 the United States The hearing was 1 not finished today.

CREDITORS DID
 NOT GET ENOUGH
Claim Merchandise Was Concealed When Stock
 Was Shown.

An attempt was made before Ref cree Banks in the Bankruptcy court today to show that the creditors of the bankrupt Dorsens Dry Goods Go. did not get all that was coming to them when the receivers sold the stock to Hyman Karp.
 The receivers were represented by City Attorney Vim. H. COmley of this city and Attorney Leo Oppenheimer of New York, while the objecting creditors were represented by Attor- ney Henry F. Wolf of New York.
 Attorney Wolf attempted to show by former employees of the Dorsen Company that when the prospective purchasers were being shown the stock by F. l. Gettstein, who was in charge for the receivers, G. large quantity of merchandise was covered up; that only Karp knew of this stock and that quantities of merchandise were received after the sale to Karp which was turned over to him.
 The hearing will last several days and the creditors believe they will be able to show they were not properly protected by the receivers.
 Frank T. Staples is trustee of tho estate but has taken no active part in settling the estate as yet.
