DORSEN TELL 0F S3O,OOO PROMISE
President of Former Local Concern on Stand at
 Hearing

Before Bankruptcy Referee John W. Banks, today. Abraham Dorsen resumed his testimony, at the hearing on the objections of creditors of the Dorsen Dry Goods company to the acts of the receivers of the company.
 Under direct examination by Hen " Wolf, of New York, representing the Objecting creditors, he told of the contract made March 19. 1918 between the Dorsen Dry Goods Co. and the Royal Adjustment company in which it was agreed that S3O 900 was to be furnished the Dorsen Com pany to tide over it's financial diff culties.
 He said that by the original agree ment the Adjustment company was to take preferred stock in the Dorsen Dry Goods company for the money advanced, but that when MT. WnIets of the Adjustment company with his attorney, Mir. Rosenthal appeared in Bridgeport to close the deal, they had with them a contract that stat ed, that in consideration of the ser vices to be performed by the Royal Adjustment in making suggestions which would modernize the Dorsen Dry Goods company and increase the efficiency of it's force, the Adjust ment company was to be paid S20,000.
 That after the money was advanced the Adjustment company did nothing but insist that it be repaid the money called for in the contract.
 Rosenthal told him. Dorsen said, that the law would not allow them to state in the contract that was 8. bonus. but that no objection could be made if the payment was stated to be for services.
 The Adjustment company were to
 receive nine payments of S5,555.55 each month, beginning May 1, 1918. That on May 1, MT Berwin, who had
 been placed in the store by the Ad- 1 justment company, took two checks ] one for $2.22222 for the bonus, and l the other for $3,33833 on the loan i that Berwin said he would hold the l checks until some creditors were paid | but did not keep his word and Cashed
 checks.
 i On June 1 Dorsen testified that he refused to sign checks until Willetts | and Rosenthal again came to Bridge i port and insisted on getting the 1 checks, stating that they would fur nish more money if it was needed to 1 satisfy creditors.
 1 Rosenthal said it was no use to pay | the creditors in full as they would not appreciate it. Pay them 10 per cent and get rid of them," he said. | I said. That is not the idea. Let us lfquidate. We can pay the credit | ors in full and there will be something
 left for the stockholders
 RosenthaI said, Not a chance i They would give you no credit for it," and said that we should go into i bankruptcy.

DASH HUN HOPES OF RECONQUERING
 AMERICAN FIELD No Importation of Dyes, Chemicals, Fertilizers or Products of Hun Science. DECISION BY
 ALIEN CUSTODIAN Inportations Would Be In fringement of Licensed Patents by J. S. Firms.

Washington, March 27-German hopes of reconquering American mar kets received another blow today. Users of dyes, chemicals, fertilizers and other products originated by Ger man science were notified by the lien property custodian that importations from Germany hereafter would be subject to prosecution as infringe ment of patents licensed under the trading with the enemy act for use by American manufacturers.
 Possibility of a dumping of great surplus stock which Germany was re- ported to have accumulated with the intention of underselHng and perhaps stifing the infant American industries in the same lines thus has been block ed effectually before shipments could begin. Government officials regard ed the decision as of far-reaching inn Dortance to business in this coun- try.
 The decision was announced in a letter from Alien Property Custodian Garvan to Burweu s. Cutler, chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, which said:
 All of the German dye and chem ical patents (and in this classification there are included allied subjects, such as metallurgy, fertilizers, fixa- ton of nitrogen, hydrogenation of Oils, etC.). have been seized by the alien property custodian al.d sold to the chemical foundation. The chem icaI foundation will use the patents to prevent interference with the American industries to which they relate by Germans after the war, by issuing nOn-eNclusive licenses to American manufacturers and will also institute suits for infringements based upon the importation of goods of German manufactur
 Ut seems to me that it would he desirable to advise the trade in the l United States that importation of German chemical products may result 1 in infringement of patents owned by the chemical foundation and thereby lay the importer open to prosecution. The chemical foundation mentioned l by MT. Garvau is an assoCi; ton ol ! manufacturers, incorporated in Della i ware with a capacity stock of $50O,- i 900. the voting stock being held by : | voting trust composed of the member! | of the advisory sales committee of the l allen property Custodians office. Sev l eral hundred patents registered in thi: l country by Germans, the most inapor 1 tant covering the manufacture O drugs and dyes, for which this coun 1 try has been virtually dependent oI l Germany, have been licensed for us'
 by Americans and new names sub ! stituted for the foreign designations | to make the industries more thor
 oughIy American. The law provide
 9. fixed compensation to the origin atOr of the patent.
 While the alien property custod dian opinion did not touch on copyrights | which also come under his jurisdic 1 ton. it was said informally, that h 1 same principle would apply. Severa
 German owned operas and variOu scientific works have been iCense'
 for production and publication in tn
