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 cpen
space in Central Park, where Ed-
win Franko Goldman, famous
bandmaster and composer, had ar-
ranged the 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. \leen the first group of
youngsters, some bearing instru-
ments larger and heavier than them-
selves, 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 05,000 per-
sons had been estimated by the pro-
fessional estimators of the polio: 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 won
first honors. and the boys from u
like institution in New York won
second honors. W’hen all the bands
had contested and the fates had dc-
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
been 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.

MOVIE MEN ARE CHARGED WITH
GETTING $2,500,000 BY FRAUD
NEW 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 ‘havlng 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 ol-
leged fraudulent activities of the
men indicted. who. he said have
stripped him of all his properties
valued at about $5,000,000.
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. lle also turned
over his interest. in a. tract of over
one hundred acres in Los Angeles
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 Fell Through.
The deal for the development of
“Moroscotown” fell through because
Morosco failed to obtain title. He
had, however, a contract to purchase
McCoy said‘.
Moroaco at that time had been
divorced from his first wife who ob-
tained liens against his property for
over $300,000. 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 Morosco theatre

Tlachtil was the name they called
the game akin to modern basketball

Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley, Associa~

in the institution's program for ex-
cavation of the ancient Maya metro-
polls.
The Tlachtli court was composed
of two high pémllel.walls. from 60
to 100 feet apart.’ A stone ring,
parallel to the wall and at right In-
gles to the floor. jutted out. near the
top of ‘ either wall. Through this
ring the contending sportsmen
sought. to put a rubber ball by
bouncing it from either wrist, cl-
bow or hip.
' In the heat of the sport. the an-
dent gamblers were won't to wag or
