He declared that he and his wife were leaving the home of a friend Sunday night, he found a man standing on the running board of his car, who proved to be a policeman.

"The policeman," Gorman said, "abused us for having the car standing there. The ollleer used such language to Mrs. Gorman that 1 threatened to report him to his superior 'officers. About a block away, an intoxicated man tried to cross the street, and fell down 'in front of the car and we stopped and got out. to assist him.

Futzinsky appeared on the scene and ordered us to the station house." AS HEARING IS BEGUN i Controller Has "Nothing to Say" on Alleged Juggling of Long Beach Issue. State Controller Eugene M. Travis, named with Deputy Controller James Wendell, candidate to succeed Mr. Travis, and several prominent bond brokers in connection with the John Doe Investigation of tho Controller's office by District Attorney Swann scheduled to begin before Chief Justice Frederick Kernochan this afternoon, declined this morning to issue any statement relative to tho charges formulated by the District Attorney. Mr.

Travis said that, inasmuch as the charges were to bo laid before Justice Kernochan, sitting as a committing magistrate this afternoon, he felt that a statement by him at this juneturo would ill-advised and that tiny comment would have to come from his lawyer, Isidor Wasservogel of 120 Broadway. The Controller added that he expected to receive a suhpena this morning but that he would appear at the hearing whether subpenaed or not. Both Mr. Travis and his attorney refused to say anything whatever regarding the alleged Juggling-- of water bonds issued by the Village of Long tfeaeli in isua for $200,000 through which the Slate is said to have paid a profit to Ciibbons bond brokers, amounting- to 18 percent on $166,000 of the issue. A second allegation is that the State, through the Controller paid Gibbons Co.

a profit of 14 percent on a subsequent $70,000 issue of bonds. The Controller said he could not discuss this specific Item or any other except through his attorney. Mr. Wusservogel Declared he had no knowledge of tho transaction which would enable him to talk about it. Mr.

Wasservogel added that he did not fee! it necessary to make extended comment on tho charges as ho considered the proceedings before Justice Kernochan the proper place to faring out anything his client had to Buy. "The whole matter appeals to me as being somewhat pointless," lie said. "For. some months past the District Attorney has had in his possession all the facts he can hope to bring out at a John Doe inquiry and the greater part of his data was furnished him by Controller Travis or members of the Controller's slaft. "He has known for some time everything the witnesses he can summon will be able to tell him in these proceedings, and, as stated, most of the data was placed in his hands by the Controller.

"The District Attorney could have proceeded with an action of this kind as warrantably months ago as he can today. If such an action was contemplated I am at loss to understand why it was postponed until this late except for what effect it might conceivably have on the approaching election. "No one is more iihxiofis to have aired any charges against the Controller's otlice than is the Controller himself." District Attorney Swann stated Saturday that subpenas had been issued for Controller Travis, Deputy Controller Wendell, and three prominent bond brokers, Albert L. Judson, William S. Fanshawe and George B.

Fans Lined Up I I I I I For GATHERING OF FANS FROM ALL QUARTERS MARKS FIRST GAME California, Utah and Hoboken Represented Enthusiastic yVomen in Lines at Field.

XlTthe north star is the guide for the mariner on tho sea so Ebbets Field was the magnet today of the entire sportloving American public. To one who viewed the surging crowd struggling for places in line on Cedar outside the grounds three hours before the game began it was evident that not only would the big concrete stadium be jammed to capacity long before game time, but that not even a shoe horn would be of use in getting late comers into the grounds. At noon yesterday John 10. Mansfield, who lives way up in Northampton, put some spare clothing in a leather grip and at midnight last night he whs the first man to take his post on Cedar pi-, ready to wait any number of hours until the gates opened. Mr.

Mansfield is a middle-aged man, who has followed baseball ever since he was a small boy and talked knowingly of the stars of the old New England League. tie did not go to bed but held his place except for a few brief moments when he went away to get something to eat. At 2:30 a.m. he was at the head of the line and at 11 o'clock he was still standing tirelessly outsido the wall. Fans came from joints as far distant as California to see the opening game of tho 11120 World Series.

John A. Darrock of San Diego was one of the early arrivals. Air. and Mrs. Frank Garrity from Eureka, a small mining community in the mountains arrived last night ami bought standing room tickets.

"We don't care whether we have to stand or not," said Mrs. Garrity. "This is the first big league game I have ever seen and I'm making the most of it." Mr. Garrity showed an Eagle reporter a card which listed him as official scorer of the Eureka team out in Utah and he said that he has seen every World Series since 1900 except last year when it was a tossup as to whether he would attend the Wll-lard-Dempsey fight, or go to the World Series game and he elected to attend the tight. He said that the first big league game he ever saw was when he was 6 years old and that his memory ran back to the days of Tim Keefe and Amos Kusie.

In the line on Cedar pi. was an old Irishman with' a black thorn cane said he was 68 years old, who had been waiting since early morning and who hailed from West Hoboken. He failed to give his name, but he said "I don't care who wins as long as Cleveland doesn't lose." At 11 o'clock there was a line extending from Sullivan st. and Franklin ave. to Bedford and the long queue curled around and extended on both sides of the street.

Mounted police wese assisting to keep the crowd in order. Many of the fans carried their lunch and quite a number of them had missed their breakfast. They stood first on one leg and then on the other. The first woman in the long line was Mrs. George Brobst of Pittston, Pa.

She was there with her husband and took her station at 6 o'clock this morning, having reached New York at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Like Mrs. Garrity she had never seen a big league game before, but she was prepared to root for Brooklyn as well as the Utah visitors. The man who was nearest the gates and who therefore held the honor of being the first in line was Martin Coile of Girardville, who was a Cleveland rooter. He was accompanied by Thomas Jones of Ashland, who was prepared to uphold the Brooklyn end.

They had come on together. There was quite a group of rooters from Scranton, Pa. Many of the early arrivals were without the precious pasteboards which -was the talisman that would secure them entrance to the grounds. These people turned to speculators who were asking $2.60 for $1 admission tickets and $20 for reserved seat tickets for the first four games of the series. There were a number of persons along Sullivan st, who were carrying on a thriving trade in the sale of tickets to people not already provided with them.

Munro, general auditor of a graphophone company, appeared in Yorkville Court, Manhattan, today as complainant against Thomas Laura, 24, Of 326 B. 82d Thomas Berinato, 31, of 323 Hudson Brooklyn, and Bronek Maruszewskl, 24, a dealer in phonograph supplies, of 333 E. 14 th st.

6 Xo John Doe hearing wag held by Justice Scudder today in the investigation tending to show that professional gamblers in Nassau County bought protection from public officials, nor was there a meeting of the Grand Jury to consider the evidence collected at previous John Doe hearings, rfust when Justice Soudder will call another hearing has not been decided. The Grand Jury will, meet tomoirow, but will take up routine criminal work. Those In charge do not belicvo that tho vtc investigation will be reached much before next Monday. Justice Scudder held a hearing late yesterday afternoon and questioned a few witnesses relative to the so-called Rothsteln house at hong Beach. The entire investigation at the present time seems to be.

centered about the activities of gamblers In that end of the county. Whether or not Arnold Rothstein will be directly involved is a question as those who claim that he operated a gambling house at Reach also say that ho operated through a dummy and that his name could not be brought up as one of the principals unless his paid agent confessed and thus Involved his employers. There Is nothing at the present time to 'indicate that anyone has given information harmful to Rothsteln. The adjournment of the sentencing of Gideon, Busteed and Shaughnessy until Oct. 18 is causing considerable talk hero.

The delay keeps the three defendants within the power of the court and it Is positive that all three will be called before the Grand Jury. That they will repeat: the valuable information at that time which (thoy have already sworn to before Justice Scudder is certain. Busteed and Gideon have given some very valuable facts and Shaughnessy has Riven some valuable leads that have resulted in excellent developments. The impression at the present time is that these three men will get away with suspended sentences because of the assistance they have rendered in the investigation. Officials concerned, bow-ever, would not comment upon this report.

Attorney TCIvin Kdwards, who has been resting up for the past ten days in Maine, after a nervous breakdown, returned to his office this morning and will devote most of his time hereafter to the vice inquiry, SELIG B.

Another drop in sugar today came when the Federal Renning- Company marked down its price to 12 cents. This followed a reduction yesterday from 13 to 12 cents. of the pitching. Bagby looked in first class condition, but Coveleskie hail a thin, drawn appearance as if trained down a bit too fine. Speaking of his chances, Speaker said: "We have a team that was good enough to win the American League pennant, despite the awful loss we sustained in the accidental killing of Ray Chapman by a pitched ball in New York on Aug.

15. Wo won the pennant by pulling ourselves together and then pulling together, and we can still pall together in the series. If possible we will win in five, straight games. has been a lot of talk about Cleveland not having enough pitchers, or at least as many pitchesr as Bro6k-lyn, but we have in Bagby a pitcher who has won 30 games in American League, and Coveleskie has beaten the best team in our league, which league lies a number of terrific hitters. Two dependable first jitring pitchers are pretty near enough for a World Series, and, of course, there must be other capable pitchers 'on the stand, or the team would not have reached the series." to Buy Tickets A6ie PHOTO, Plenty of Pitchers to Win, Tris Speaker Declares LYNCH COAL CO.

PLEADS NOT GULITY IN EDISON CASE Continued from Page 1- It is set forth that the Edison Company purchased coal from companies recommended by the Adelphia Company, but patronized only those that paid "bonus" to the Adelphia concern. It is charged that the amount of these "bonuses" or commissions paid out of Edison Company funds aggregated J1 08,000, and that more than half a million tons of coal wore involved. Overt acts set forth include reference to a check received by Wood for $1,450 and a check for $7,420.50 drawn by the Lynch Company in favor of the Kdison Company at a meeting between Wood and B. J. Lynch on June 2.

President Sloan's Statement. Matthew S. Sloan, president of the Brooklyn Kdison Company, mado the following statement last night: "Our company learns for the first time that it is a crime under the Lever Act for a public utility company to have on hand enough coal to take care of its needs. We have no excuse to make and are in fact proud of our ability under tho present difficult coal conditions to secure enough coal to take care of our daily requirements and to build up an adequate reserve to assure the people of Brooklyn of a constant and uninterrupted supply of electricity. "Our yearly requirements average 1,500 tons per day.

The Orand Jury was apparently advised that we need only 1,000 tons per day and acted on that Information. "We are still in the market for coal, and despite the indictment wo will continue to purchase coal to keep our bunkers full and build up our reserve to 70,000 tons. We now have approximately 40,000 tons in storage. Charges Employee AVIth Connivancy. "The Kdison Company has never secured any permit or priority order for the shipment or transportation of coal for, or in connection with, the B.

J. Lynch Coal Company, and has not authorized the use of any special permit or priority order for any purpose except to secure coal needed for its own use. it now appears that one of our trusted employees, in connivance with the B. J. Lynch Coal Com pany, used the name of the corporation to accomplish the shipment of coal to tidewater.

This connivance did not causo any pecuniary loss to the company. "The company is charged with the purchase of coal from the Adelphia Coal Company from Oct. 22, 1919, at unfair prices. The fact is that no coal has been received from the Adelphia Coal Company except under a contract dated in 1916 and at a price below the market price tor coal of a similar grada. at the time.

Payments by tho Kdison Company to the Adelphia Company mentioned in the indictment were for coal delivered and for no other purpose. "Our company has bought coal at competitive market prices, and we have not paid higher prices for coal than we were forced to pay because of market conditions. "Your investigation of the charges against this company convinces us that Jlr. Wells, our vice, president, is blameless in respect of the matters investigated by the Grand Jury, and wo know of no reason why he should have been mentioned in the. indictment." Vice President Wells-' Statement.

Walter F. Wells, vice president of the Brooklyn Kdison Company and one of those indicted, said: "I know nothing about the transaction with respect to which I am accused, except that in my service as vice president of the company I know that coal was purchased from the Adelphia Company and that the prices were less than similar coal cost us from other sources. "Neither the company nor myself has had any dealing; with the B. J. Lynch Company.

I was given no hearing by the Grand Jury on the charges against me, and I welcome the opportunity which a trial of these cases will give mo to demonstrate the property of my official acts." RESENT SCUDDER'S INDEPENDENT AID Rumors of dissatisfaction in regular Democratic organization circles over the. action of the Citizens Judiciary Committee in conducting an independent campaign for Supreme Court Justice Scudder of Nassau were heard today following a speech delivered by Assistant Corporation Counsel Charles J. Druhan at the 20th A. D. Democratic Club last night.

"But there is only one taking an active part in this campaign," it was stated.

"That is true," was his response. EIRE IX MOVIE THEATER. A fire in the moving picture theater at 70 Atlantic last night, was caused by the ignition of a film. The (Ire was put out before anybody was hurt and without tlu shadow of a panic. The damage was trifling.
