the Brighton Beach Racing and three of its oiJleers individually were Indicted by the King's County grand Jury yesterday. At the lime the grand jury handed down a long presentment' condemning the ials of the Coney Island Jockey Club, well the Brighton Beach Association, for failure to stop gambling at their recent races. The three individuals Indicted were William A. Er.jK-tn.ir.. controlling director of the Brighton Beach Racing Association; Cfcristopber H.

Fitzgerald, president of the association, ana John G. Cavanagh. superintendent the betting ring. men had it in their power to enforce the law and stop pambllrij; at track, the Indictment declares, but. Instead, not on' failed to do this.

Engeman ana" are specif.cally charged in the tedtctnsent apainst themselves with having riven advance information on the races to two and others, and with havtr.g allowed their, to register bets and wagers on Che races within the racetrack inclosure. POLICE INACTIVE. The grand jury in its presentment declares that the raring lav been open!" violated at the tracks, and that the police for long while no real effort to stop it. These facts, -says the in mini ill were not obtained from alone, bat committees of the grand jury went to the Mfc from time to time and personally saw violations of the law.

Their inquiry extended from to -9 and included t.oth transactiona that occurred in the Bay course of the Co-ev Island Jcckey Club, and also on the rac jne" course of. the Brighton Beach Racing Association The presentment continues: "The Condition -hat we found were so unusual t- the enforcement of this new law rtat we that we iwgtat to call the atteitiOT of this court and of the public generally we In the first place, the evidence' before lis convinced us that, the fact that this new law went into on the day of June. for some Previous to th? 7th day of the law Si been nnd and flagrant'v uron around the of the Coney Island jockey Club. These grounds ar known as the Sheepshead Bay racemek BETTING ON A LARGE SCALE. -Our invest Stration disclosed that anJ registering bets an.l wagers upon the races that were being held on that coarse, and tetercbinre of money there bet and wagered were conducted to a very large scale, with little or no concealment whatever, in total 6 rf'i of law.

We continued c-ir into the conditions that were rrevsiiins at the Rrlshton Beach race course. The ra.t-5 heM sere Immediately succeeded tod teen held on the course of the Corey Island Jockey Club. "In She iveriag the Miner in which the new law wa. being respect on these grounds, we -not confir.ed to the evidence that addneed before us. The evidence that was Jvtnigbt befcre vs convinced us that the same open, fiaemtit violation of law and the same systematic' wholesale RamMmg that had been for force days trains: on on the Bheepchead course re re repeated on the Brighton Beach Association's course at Brighton Beach.

The conditions that were revealed by the testimony sacs a serious situation that we con. aught to make personal what was troice on at the Brighton Beach race Acordirclv. appointed committees to make visit? to the race course and then make rennrts to our lxviy. This was done on various 'occasions, and the personal obscrvationa of cur members end the report" which they laid Ivpfnre the ETPrri jury showed us that the cor.dirtom in the evidence were not in the least, but- that the law was being violated In a wholesale, systematic and open manner, as we have before stated. AND van WAGNER did WELL.

The police next come in for a larpe share of the condemnation oestowed by the jury on all persons repponpiWe for gassbHng conditions at the two tracks. It is declared that they sought every opportunity nt Brat to evade their rfsponsibilffy. and that It was not until a special detachment of piainclcthes was sent down that proper police work was Acting Captain Augusi Kuhne. wstfa Lieutenants Joseph F. I.inwn and Jacob Van Warner, in chrrge of latter force.

were commended by the grand Jury for their end faithfulness and for marked success which em and their men in the of the law. with Ju1y.16." "Bercre this, however." the presentment poes on to say. "we discovered that the opportunities for cj-mhlinc were among the attractions which the menapers of the racecourse relied upon to attract crowds to the tracks, and we learn that a very cf the gate receipts that constitute the income cf these racing associations is the. result of the maintenance of gambttaHj on the racecourses and of affording to the public generally the opportunity to to the tracks and gamble on the races. It was not hard, in the light of these circumstances, to discover the reason why the of the racecourses were inactive in their efforts to enforce the law and to prevent gambling upon the racecourses.

It was quite clear that In proportion as gambling was reduced on these racecourses, just that proportion would the gate receipts and the profits of the racing associations be reduced." ASSOCIATION HARD TO GET AT. In conclusion, the presentment calls attention to the privileges allowed to racing associations which make it almost impossible for them to be brought to Justice for directly violating the laws cf the state. It calls the practice of permitting the associations to appoint their own special policemen a bad one. which should be discontinued. The grand jury auks that its presentment be sent to Governor Hughes, that he may take steps to remedy the acts which seem to it to still protect racetrack Rambling.

The presentment ends with the significant statement that the grand Jury had not finished its on evidence relating to conditions at the meeting of the Coney Island Jockey Club. County Judge Dike heartily commended the Jury for its efforts and assured the members that they hafl weD earned their vacation of two weeks. None of the three men Indicted were in court, but they were represented by Charles H. Hyde, attorney for the Brighton Beach Racing Association. Mr.

Hyde pleaded not guilty for his clients. Judge Dike accepted his excuse for their absence and agreed that they should be paroled In his custody until bail could be arranged for at the District Attorney's office. Acting District Attorney Elder would Pay nothing positive last night regarding the action he would take on the grand Jury's presentment. He said he would have to go over it carefully and see what r.e could io. Whether be thought he could the Brighton Beach track on the strength of the presentment or contemplated such action he refused to He Intimated, however, that INN move in the matter r.igbt be expected from him before long.

The indictment handed 2ovrn against Kngeman and his associates contained list of the witnesses Wbs appeared before the jury, showing that a num. ter of ir-n who have figured on the track in the past as bookmakers had testified before the grand Jury Justice Blanchard. of the Supreme Court, refused yesterday to grant to the Coney Island Jockey Club injunction restraining Police Commissioner B.affcaai and his men from interfering with groups of persons gathered together at the racetrack. In fact, the Court, in denying the trotian of sss men. virtually upheld ail of contentions.

Greenwich. July The sharp ears and keen scent of a collie owned by Kdmund 'on verse, a director the United Ptntes Oorpi ration and president tho Fatrfield County Golf club, undoubtedly saved his master's home, Conyers Manor, eight miles from this place, from Ueirg robbed on Thursday night. Rushing out of the house at 10 o'clock, the dog, harking furiously, ran direct for a hedge near the watchman's cottage, about one hundred feet away. The watchman, following the dog. suddenly found himself looking into the muzzles of revolvers held by three men on the opposite side of the hedge.

He was told to keep quiet, but the barking soon brought Mr. Converse with his revolver, and the would-be burglars took to their heels. The watchman and Mr. Converse opened fire on them and it was returned. One of the fugitives dropped, probably hit.

but ne was on his feet in a moment, and all three disappeared in a motor car had evidently been waiting for them near by. Sergeant Andrew Talbot and Policeman Patrick Flanagan hastened to the manor in an automobile, but the only clew they found was a small black felt that. The telephone cable, a private one. running from the village to the manor, was found cut a lew days ago, and it Is believed now that this was part of a plot of the robbers to frustrate any attempt to call the police when the robbery was scnvered. To-day's shooting was not the first in which members of the Converse family have figured.

Several years ago Mr. Converse's daughter, Mrs. Antoinette Morreli. was set upon in the village by a irtp.Fked man, who hap entered her house in the night. She was shot and so severely wounded that her Hie was in danger for many days.
