NEW YORK, Aug.——5.-—A sight
which is u'nessed but once in a
life time was offered those who, in
and about New York, wended their
way to the Mall, that great open
space in Central Park, where Ed-
win Franko Goldman, famous
bandmaster and composer, had ar-
ranged thc first contest ever staged
for competition among the boys,
bands of the district. Although the
fun did not begin until 8 o'clock,
many persons, anxious to be in at
the commencement and secure
points of vantage, arrived after
lunch. “Rico the first group of
youngsters, some bearing iiistru.
.ments larger and heavier than them-
sclves, marched upon the platform
of the new band stand. there were
already 50.000 persons about. They
continued to come until it seemed
that vast as Central Park might be,
it would not suffice to accommodate
them all. Eventually 65,000 per-
sons had been estimated by the pro~
fessional estimators of the pollc: de-.
partment.
Eight contesting bands , were
judged. Some of them marched and
played like veterans—and some of
them didn't. The Hebrew Orphans
Association Band of Brooklyn \\'on
first honors. and the boys from a
like institution in New York won
second honors. W’hen all the bands
had contested and the fates had de-
cided. the entire group. augmented
by the famous Goldman Band itself,
were massed for “The Pioneer," 8.
march composed by Edwin Franko
Goldman, and more than 500 in-
struments gave out the best that
was in them in this number, the
greatest number ever gathered for
a band and one of the most im-
pressive sights ever witnessed.
In a musical season which has
beeh replete with interest and nov-
elty, this was the most novel and in-
teresting of them all. Good nature
prevailed, and there were many in-
cidents that justified the outbursts
of applause, and laughter, with
which the contest was liberally em;
bellished.

NEVV YORK, Aug. 5.-——An indict-
ment charging use of the mails to
defraud was returned yesterday by
the federal grand Jury against seven
men accused of “having defrauded
the investing public of over $2.500.~
000 through the sale of stock of the
Morosco Holding company. a Dela-
ware corporation organized to ex-
ploit the theatrical and moving pic-
ture interests of Oliver Morosco,
theatrical producer.
According to Assistant U. S. At-
torney McCoy. who presented the
matter to the Grand Jury. Morosco
himself was a. victim of the al-
leged fraudulent activities of the
men indicted, who, he said have
stripped him of all his properties
valued at about 35.000.000. '
Morosco according to McCoy,
turned over all his property valued
at $5,000.000 to the Holding com-
pany and received in return the en-
tire issue of stock of the company.
There was no treasury stock. Mor-
osco's properties included leaseholds
on theatres in this city and in Cali-
fornia and all his rights to theatri-
cal productions. He also turned
over his interest in a. tract of over
one hundred acres in Los Angelou
known as “Moroscotown.” It was
Morosco's intention to make “Mor-
oscotown" a unique pleasure city.
its principal features. consisting of
villages representing places in Eng-
land. France. Germany and other
continental countries.
Deal l-‘cll Through.
The deal for the development of
“Moroscotown” fell through because
Morosco failed to obtain title. He
had, however. a contract to purchase
McCoy saidL
Morosco at that time had been
divorced from his first wife who ob-
tained liens against his property for
over 3300.000. McCoy said. He
made a settlement of $350,000 on
her and to secure the payment of
this money she took an assignment
on his lease of the Morocco theatre

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Discov-
cry of the reputed throne of the em-
perors and priests of Chichen Itza,
civil and religious center of the
Maya, an aboriginal civilization that
extended through Yucatan and
Guatemla, and the unearthing of
another court where the god of
. chance reigned, has just been report-
ed by the staff of the Carnegie In-
stitution of \Vashington, engaged in
excavating ruins in that region.
Tlachtli was the name they called
the game akin to modern basketball
and which they played in the cen-
tury before Christ.
Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley, Associa-
ted in Middle American Archaeology,
with Dr. Earl H. Morris is engaged
in the institution's program for ex-
cavation of the ancient Mays. metro-
polls.
The Tiachtli court was composed
of two high pirailel,walis. from 50
to 100 feet apart. A stone ring,
parallel to the wall and at right an-
gles to the floor, jutted out. near the
top of either wail. Through this
ring the contending sportsmen
sought .to put a. rubber ball by
bouncing it from either wrist, el-
bow or hip.
-. In the heat of the sport, the an-
cient gamblers were won't to wager
their liberty. accepting slavedom if
they lost, says Dr. Marley‘s account.
The ownership of vast estates hung
on the outcome of the games. Quins
filled with gold' dust or trinkets of
intrinsic value were the more com-
monbetl.
The
-“'omen will be hard to please,
in this city and on the Morcsco
theatre in Los‘Angeles.

Chicago to New York and had .\ir.

ing company. an. Morosco was
made president and “'llliam .l.

Department of Justice and L. Law-

were among others. made directors.
Franklin Underwood. a production
manager. was made treasurer.
Propaganda Rounded Up.
“In the fall of 1921. Georg R.
Bentel. who was associated 11th
Morosco in the Morosco Productions
company, a California motion pic-
ture concern. came East, got in
touch .with Levon who was in charge
of the sales organization of the Mor-
osco Holding company. Inc.. and got
up all the propaganda.’ prospectus.
and literature used in the sale of the
stock.
“The stock to be sold was all
personal property of OliverMoros-
co. At least $2,500,000 worth of
stock was sold on representation
that the stock was treasury stock
of the Morosco Holding company,
Inc., and that the company was
possessed of the properties of Mr.
Morosco free and clear of any liens.
W'hen Morosco became aware of the
methods employed by Leven and
his salesman. he tried to put a. stop
to the sale. Subsequently to that
Morosco resigned as president. .
“Morosco was succeeded. to the
presidency of the Holding company
by August Janssen, proprietor of a
Hof Brau on Broadway. Janssen's
experience cost him 8400.000.
"Prior to 1921, Mr. Morosco en—
joyed an income of $300,000 a year
from his properties. He had accu-
mulated about $5,000,000 as the re-
sult of his genius as theatrical pro-
ducer. Today he is broke."
Another heavy loser in the ven-
ture. according to Mr. McCoy. was
J. \V. McKinney of Titusville, Pn.,
who lost about 3200.000.

and three feet high, elaborbately
and ilsutifully sculptured. he says.
"Its sloping sides are carved with
a procession of gorgeously costumed
warriors, weaving in and out among
whom are long, sinuous rattle-
snakes," Dr. Morley reports. "This
panel is topped with a. cornice com-
posed of other intertwining rattle-
snakes.‘ The throne is painted in
deep red. warm yellow, brilliant blue
and vivid green, and when approach-
ed from the front. between the outer
pair of sculptured columns. which
are similarly painted. it must have
presented a. striking picture of bar-
baric up) ndor.
"The flool. were of hard lime
plaster, painted s rich red. and
around the back and side walls runs
a deep broad bench with sloping
back, where priests sat in solemn
deliberation. and. With the Run
rulers sound upon the rattle-snake
throne, settled the affairs ,of state"
Doctor Morley points out.
During July, the excavatfis die-
eovered a. small temple buried Just
southwest of the throne room colon-
nade . A plain-throne, surrounded
by flanking benches similar to the
rattle-snake throne, was found, in
the temple.
