Eiiians at PLAY,

The Fijian game Of tiga is probably
as ancient us golf. which it somewhat
resembles. The brown warriors play
along the roadway. and the game con
sists Of long drives with a reed. one
end Of which is set in a large brown
bean. Balancing a javelin nicely in
the hand. with the forefinger as the
driving power, they project it swiftly
at a mound on the road ahead, from
which it glances, falling 200 or 300
yards away. Thus they walk and play
for miles. vying with each other for
the longest drive. The Fijians keep
their eye on the mound" for it needs
some skill to strike the heap of stones
at the right spot on the reed so as to
secure a long straight flight.

FATHER AND SON
ACCUSED OF FRAUD
Publishers of 1.-The Songs OF
Harvard" Alleged Deceit
in Sales Contract.

The latest edition Of Songs OF mar
ward" is responsible for the discord
that has led the publishing firm OF
Kinds. Noble e. Eldredge to the Su-
preme Court. Charges Of fraud and
deceit are made by the firm in an &C
ton against G. Clifford Noble, former
~ treasurer and director OF the con-
Germ. and his sor, Lloyd Adams Noble,
both graduates Of Harvard, it being al
legged that the father favored his son
in the publishing and selling of the
Harvard song book. 1t is alleged that
on June 10. 1912. while the son was an
undergraduate q. Cambridge, the elder
Noble, assuming &c act for the hrm,
made an agreement with the son under
which the latter was permitted to
copyright the book in his own name, to
sell il on a 10 per cent commission, De
sides which he was 20 receive III per
cent royalty on ell sales. The terms
of this agreement, the firm comp lans,
were unfair to it, and Mobiles action in
EMPLOYING his son instead OF doing the
work himself was clear and out
right waste Of the plaintiffs money"
and was ain violation of the PLAINTIFFS
practice to publish all copyrights in Its
own name"
Il is demanded by Kinds, Noble
Eldredge that the younger Noble re
turn TO the corporation all moneys i'm
properly received under the agreement
made with his father. The firm also
asks that the copyright in the name OF
Young Noble be vacated and the firm
be declared the rightful owner OF the
book.
According to the figures of the plain
tiff firm, the Harvard song was pub
lished at an actual loss because OF the
agreement which Noble made with his
son. 1t is alleged there was large
demand for the book and that dealers
would have been willing to bid for the
privilege of selling the work and would
have paid one-third less than the list
price of 81. Mobiles son sold the book ut
sl.06, which was ~ per cent below the
selling price. after the payment OF the
commissions and royalties Of young
Noble. II is further alleged a collec-
ton of Cornell songs was recently pub
lished and that the younger Noble de-
manded royalties for certain copy
righted songs in the book. For this
81 200 damages is demanded, in add
ton to the other relief sought by the
corporation.

FIND ROEBLINC FIRE
ALARM OUT OF ORDER
Whoever Set Blaze Blamed !or
Tampering with System.

Trenton. y. j., Nov. 13.-It was dis
covered to-day that the fire alarm sig
nal boxes in the wire rope shop of the
John A. Roebling Sons Company,
which was destroyed by fire Thursday
morning under suspicious circum-
stances. had been tempered with
previous to the discovery Of the blaze
and that attempts had been made to
send an alarm over the system.
The time lost in these attempts and
in sending man TO the street box
gave the flames chance to spread
beyond control.
That the fire alarm boxes were out
OF order was revealed by certain
Roebling employees who had tried to
send in an alarm. This is considered
evidence that the fire was of incen-
diary origin. Ii was known that the
Roeblings had large war orders and it
is believed that whoever tempered
with the alarm system was responsible
for the fire.

Emerson to Keep Sharp Eye on

and Departments.

Pa Knickerbocker was notified yester-
day by Health Commissioner Emerson
that hereafter he will not make fish OF

general order issued by the Commits

its many departments will not be ex-

required by law in the cases of private
ownership.
This means that the subway, public
buildings of all departments, especially
of Corrections, Charities, Police, Fire
Parks and Public Works, will be as
carefully scruitinized for violations OF
the code as any of the giant skyscrap-
ers up and down the backbone Of Man

of the East Side.

lations made almost year ago by

tator, to Health Commissioner Goldwa-
ter regarding conditions on Blackwell's

that in almost all the cases where nui-
