FORGED BOND GIVES
BANK LOOTING CLEW
Noblett. Promoter. Is Bailed
in $4,000 After $1,000 Sc
curity Is Identified.

Edward Arden Noblett of 131 River
side Drive, who has figured in deals in
promoting stocks. bonds and conces-
sions and who has been twice in Sing
Sing prison, was held in $4,000 bail yes
terday by United States Commissioner
S. NJ. Hitchcock on a charge of having
forged and altered $1,000 Liberty
Bond in his possession. Noblett was
arrested by Agent James j. Gurvey Of
the United States Secret Service who
made the charge. Noblett was released
furnishing the BAH.
Noblett's last previous appearance
was in August when he was charged
with having swindled Arthur Victor. a
disabled service man, out of his life saw
ings Of $4,000 through fraudulent ad-
vertisements published in New York
newspapers. Victor was induced by Mob
lett to invest in Jazz ball" conces-
sion at Coney Island. The jury ac-
quilted Noblett on a technical point in
regard to the lease.
In 1912 while a prisoner in the Tombs
in connection with an alleged swindle,
Noblett conducted business" through
advertisements, and sought other per-
sons to provide him with money which
eh would increase considerably. His
counsel. former Judge John G.. Dyer,
said yesterday thar Noblett was a
broker, and did business from his home
address In Riverside Drive Dyer de-
clared Noblett knew nothing about the
bond as 1t merely passed through his
hands as did SO many other checks and
bonds" being purely business matter.
The arrest of Noblett on this latest
charge, is expected to lead to further
Developments, according to the Federal
agents. The bond in question had
passed through a number of hands be-
fore June Is, 1921, at which time 1t was
deposited by Noblett at the Boardwalk
National Bank, Atlantic City. as secur-
ity for a loan of $3.50. When the bond
reached the Treasury Department in
Washington, it was discovered that it
was one Of a number taken by the rob-
bers who, on November IS, 1920. looted
the Joy National Bank at JOY. Illinois.
The owner of the bond was a resident
of that city. named Bert Davis.

Considerable opposition to the site
which has been selected for the proposed
civic art and music center has been
manifested among number OF civic
and property organizations, it became
known yesterday At least four differ
ent organizations are opposed, not to
the project. but to the site selected.
At meeting of the Columbus Circle
Council. held Wednesday. in the offices
of the Broadway Association. 1870
Broadway. the proposed Temple of
Art" IL the site chosen Is unchanged,
was characterized as visionary and
highly impractical" and recommended
ton was adopted asking that the parent
organization express it's disapproval of
the location selected for the building of
what will make this city, according to
Mayor Hylan. the music and art center
OF the world. Representatives of other
organizations were present and stated
that similar action would be taken by
their groups.
According to Edward W. Forrest. sec
retary OF the Forty second Street Prop
erty Owners and Merchants Associa-
ton. his organization Is to follow in the
footsteps of the Columbus Circle Coun-
ell. and the Central Park West Associa-
tion and the Columbus Avenue Associa-
ton will take similar action.
In the statement drawn up bv the
Columbus Circle Council IL was stated
that merely the site and not the project
was objected to. but that the plan as
it stands now for a site at Fifty-se venth
street and Seventh avenue is vision
ary and highly impractical" These
objections were cited:
81 1t would cut off Seventh avenue
at Fifty-seventh street and it is un-
wise to cut off or obstruct any ,ne of
the important longitudinal avenues OF
the city.
80 Interrupt traffic east and west in
Fifty-eighth street
49, Involve the condemnation or
large area of highly improved property
which will not only impose great hard
ship upon the individual and corporate
owners of such property, but VIII de-
prive the city of an immense revenue
now derived through taxes,
"a. Close an important outlet To traffic
coming out of Central Park at the pres
ent Central Park entrance and intensity
congestion"
The statement continues to say that
while a limit of $4,000 900 is publicly
discussed as the probable cost of carry
ing out the project, investigation has
revealed that the figures named hardly
cover the cost of acquiring title to the
property within the zone marked for
condemnation. The present assessed
valuation of this property involved ex-
ceeds s15.0Oo.OoO This. the statement
says, does not include the valuation of
the Jolson Theater and large apartment
houses recently constructed and in
course of construction which would
most probably boost the total 10 $780,
O00,O 900 to acquire title to the property
alone The cost of constructing build
ing such as has been planned would
be s15, 900, 600 more, according to the esti-
mate made by the council.
