Bush of the Bush Termi- nal Company is helping the adminis- | trator, The Bush Company was one of the eleven firms that offered the sugar for sale at 19 cents a pound, |although offer was made without authority, Mr. Bush said, by FL BL Middleton, in charge of the firm's foreign department, who had been discharged for his action, Mr, Bust said Middleton had bought the sugar for export, but that the deal had failed and he had tried to recoup in the home market. It was brought out that this sugar was the same lot that Leo W. Ham- mel, & broker, had offered at 19 cents @ pound. After Mr. Bush had turned over all the correspondence concerning the deal, he was told the sugar w bought from Hecht & Hecht of Now 200 Fifth Avenue. Mr. Heoht reluctantly informed Mr. Willlams that a Wall Street banker offered the sugar to him after th Food Adininistrator had threatened to bring him before the Federal at- torney to tell what he knew of the transaction, The banker asserted that he had bought the sugar for export, and had sold it to Heoht & Hecht. He ad- initted he knew where the sugar was, but said he had cancell-* *'s order. Mr. Williams will question him fur- ther to-day, and if he refs to tale will cause him to be summoned be- for the United States Attorney.
