Gas Statistics
Expert on Stand

Marvin Scudder, of this city. was
a witness before the Public Utility
Commission today at a short hearing
at the Court House on the gas hear
ing, involving the Passaic and Pater-
son districts. MIR. Scudder is an ex-
pert employed by the commission to
go over the figures of the Public
Service Commission as to the cost of
gas production in the districts named.
His examination was conducted by
Thomas N. McCarter. president of
the corporation, and had to do with
figures concerning< the Ridgewood
Gas Company, one of the subsidiary
concerns of the big corporation.
In his examination Mr.. Scudder
said he had found on the
books and had taken his figures from
what were supplied him. He said he
had not included any overhead
charges, any working capital, de-
velopment cost or value of franchises
in his figures, and had left out these
figures in figuring a percentage of
earnings.
After finding this out Mr.. McCarter
dropped the witness and the meeting
adjourned until next Monday.

POOL GAMBLING
SUSPECTS HELD
Schneider, Nabbed After Eve
ming Stars Crusade, Fails
to Get Bail.

Edward Schneider, jr., of 3s Court
street, who was arrested in the
Evening Stars crusade against the
widespread baseball pool gambling In
the city, was taken before the United
States District Court, Trenton, today.
He pleaded not guilty to an indict-
ment charging him with using the
United States mail in violation of the
anti-lottery laws, to conduct a ase
ball pool. He was put under $3.50 bal
in default of which he vas placed in
the custody of the United States
marshal.
1t was upon information furnished
by the Evening Star that the Federal
authorities started an investigation OF
the various forms of baseball gam
bling practised in Newark. Both the
police and Prosecutor Mott previous
ly had refused to take any steps to
stop it.
The activity of the United States
inspectors became known in sporting
circles, and baseball gambling
through the mails SUDDENLY ceased.
Enough evidence had been obtained,
the officials thought, to warrant the
arrest of Schneider.
Going on to Paterson the in
spectors arrested Gabriel HOLE on a
similar charge. He was held in 81, 200
bail In the United States District
Court at Trenton today.

ker or Bryan and no effort was made
to do so. There vas 40 attempt al
manipulation in favor of. or antago-
nistic to, the interests of Mr.. Bryan.
There was no deal" and no at
tempted combination of any sort"
Reply by Dubois
Former Senator Dubois, Speaker
Clark's campaign manager, made
this answer to Mr.. Bryan's charge:
Mr.. Bryan's remarkable statement
in regard to the New York vote de-
mands an answer His statement that
Clark's managers sought to advance
his interests by manipulations with
the reactionaries is simply untrue.
The statement was made to mislead,
| Mr.. Bryan knows that Illinois, Massa-
chusetts and Maryland, for instance
while instructed for Clark, could not
have been controlled against Darker
He knows that California, Nevada
and Wyoming, for instance, While IN
structed for Clark, could not have
heen controlled against Bryan for
temporary chairman.
Bryan is deliberately misleading
when he says hat while Mr.. Clark
remained neutral in the fight between
Judge Parker and himself that his
managers were working like beavers
for Judge Parker. Mr.. Clark's man
ayers were absolutely neutral as be-
tween Judge Parker and himself. Mr..
Bryan knows as well as / do that
Clark's managers were powerless to
influence Clark's delegates one way
or the other as between him and
Judge Parker. Mr.. Bryan is decep-
tive when he biames Clark for not ac-
cepting Senator James for temporary
chairman after MIR. Parker had been
selected by the committee.
"The truth is that the Clark forces
asked Mr.. Bryan to support Oils
James for temporary chairman two
weeks before the convention met and
Mr.. Bryan refused. If Mr.. Bryan has
the temerity to deny this his tele-
gram assigning his hypocritical and
sophistical reasons will be published.
II make the broad statement Mat
Mr.. Clark's managers had no under
standing of any kind or description
with the New York delegation; that
no promise of any kind or description
was asked for the New York delega-
ton, or anybody representing them.
Mr.. Clark's management is as free
from the faint of any combination or
understanding with the New York
delegation or anybody representing
the New York interests, as the sanity
and immaculate Mr.. Bryan himself.
"Asi manager for Mr.. Clark I have
the right to demand of Mr.. Bryan
that he either cease uttering these
~falsehoods or bring forward some sort
of proof. He should be able to stab
his friend Clark to death without re-
sorting to this kind of political trick
cry which reflects on the character of
men who have been his friends for
years"

break like a thunderclap and that the
lightning will strike the young South

1t is difficult to describe the resent
ment of the Clark followers against
William ]. Bryan. In addition to the
statement Of the Speaker himself at
lacking Bryan, Senator Dubois, OF
Idaho, the Clark national manager,
said:
Mr.. Bryan is engagingly deceptive
and beautifully false and misleading
in his most charming style when he
blames Clark for not accepting Sem
ator James for temporary chairman
after Mr.. Parker had been selected
by the committee. That statement
Is equal to the choicest piece of
hypocricy in which Mr.. Bryan loves
to indulge. Mr.. Bryan's statement, in
his speech and in his article about
the temporary chairman is absolutely
untrue.
THE truth is that the Clark forces
asked Mr.. Bryan to support Ollie
James for temporary chairman two
weeks before the convention met and
