MAY INDICT FOUR IN
TRAVIS BOND CASE
Grand Jury Expected to Re-
turn True Bills i'm It's
Report Tomorrow.
SURPRISE Is EXPRESSED
Justice KernOchan Had Held
Only Comptroller for
Further Examination.

Al least four indictments in connec-
ton with the purchase Of bonds for the
State sinking funds under the admins
,ration of Comptroller Eugene NJ. Travis
will be returned tomorrow when the
Grand Jury that has been considering
the evidence for many weeks makes Its
report to Judge John F. Mcintyre in
General Sessions. according to persons
in close touch with the case.
The report caused considerable sur
prise in view of the fact that Chief JUS
tice Frederic Kernochan o. Special See-
sions, before whom q John Doe inquiry
was held to lay bare the transactions of
the Comptroller's office. had held only
MI. Travis for the Grand Jury.
y was recalled. however. that in the
John Doe proceedings Ferdinand Pc
cor;A Assistant District Attorney who
conIuctd them, tried hard to have adj
mitred certain data which he asserted
would prove the criminal completely OF
another State official and a prominent
bond dealer rhe fourth man may be
another bond dealer who appeared often
in the John Doe inquiry.
The John Doe testimony showed the
Comptroller's Office had invested mill
ions of dollars of State funds in Bonds
purchased through certain favored bro
kers at prices slightly higher than they
could have been bought in open market
In such transactions one broker, Albert
l.. Judson. was shown to hare made
nearly $1.000.000 profit.
Judson in purchasing the bonds acted
at times in his own name, bit more
often through the firm of William S.
Fanshawe e. Co. Fanshawe, testifying
in the John Doe proceedings. showed
that he merely collected the bonds for
Judson and had little or nothing to do
with their sale to the State. In one
instance. where Judson's chickering's
did not work out right, Fanshawe testi-
fled he was made the goat" and lost
many thousands of dollars personally
on the transaction. A peculiar phase
of the high finance brought out in the
investigation was the ability of Judson
to have banks buy and carry the bonds
for him without any charge for the
service until the State was ready to
take them off his hands.
The decision of Justice Kernochan In
directing that Comptroller Travis be
held in connection with the crime al
legged to have been revealed. referred
tosections of the penal code making il
u felony knowingly to audit false
vouchers presented to the State for
payment The vouchers were those
presentedby Judson and the other
favored bond dealers. The falsity was
held to consist in the fact that they
called for payments known to be above
the market value of the bonds sold.

the first game of double header
between the Yankees and Red Sox.
Jones was the Boston pitcher. There
was no one on base when Ruth
slammed out his home run. The ball
went into the right field bleachers.
The $4,000 fans present went wild
while Ruth was trotting around the
bags.
Ruth's feat tied the home run
record made by Perry Werden, Of
the Minneapolis club, in 1895.
Thousands of fans turned out today
to celebrate Babe Ruth day" at Fen
way park, where the Red Sox and
Yanks were scheduled to play n
double header.
The fact that Carl Mays was ex-
pected to pitch one Of the games led
to extra precautions by the police.
Boston fans have been particularly
bitter against Mays since he was sold
to the Yanks after he had refused to
play with the Red Sox.
