porat.cn

New York.-An indictment charg.
ing use of the mails to defraud has
been returned by the federal grand
| jury against seven men accused OF
having defrauded the investment
public of over $2,500,O00 through the
sale of stock of the Morosco Holding
company, a Delaware corporation or
ganized to exploit the theatrical and
motion picture interests Of Oliver
Morosco.
Those indicted we're George R.
Bentel, vice president and general
manager of the holding company;
Benjamin Levin, organizer of the
Morosco Sales corporation; George
H. Pierce, known also as G. Harris
Pierce, sales manager; George G.
Hanson, an associate of Leven; AL
BERT Dew Blum, sales manager; Will
liam C. Amos, former assemblyman
who was said to be the star sales
man, and George Derr, sales mana
ger.
According to Assistant United
States Attorney Mccoy, who present
ed the matter to the grand jury, Mr..
Morosco himself was a victim of the
alleged fraudulent activities Of the
men indicted who he said, have strip
ped him of all his properties, valued
at about $5,OOO,0OO.
Mr.. Morosco, according to Mr..
Mccoy, turned over all his property,
valued at $5,0OO,OO0 to the holding
company and received in return the
entire issue of stock of the company.
There was no treasury stock. Mr..
Morosco's properties included lease
holds on theatres in this city and
in California, and all his rights to
theatrical productions.
He also turned over his interest
in a tract of over 100 acres in Los
Angeles, known as "Morosco town."
It was Mr.. Morosco's intention to
make "Morosco town" unique pleas
nre city, its principal features con-
sisting of villages representing places
in England, France, Germany and
other continental countries. The deal
FOR the development of "Morosco
town" fell through because Mr.. |
Morosco failed to obtain title. He had
contract to purchase Mr..
Mccoy said.

SEPTEMBER CELEBRATION
AT FAIRGROUNDS PLANNED

The question is soon to be decided
whether or not to have September
celebration at the fairgrounds. There
will not be fair. and yet people
want to lay off and have some fun.
A committee, Ralph Dixey, T. C. An
derson, w. d. Pierce and Ezra Fjel-
sted have arranged with the county
commissioners for the privilege of
putting on such an event IL the peo-
pie want it. The committee will
soon make canvass of the situation,
especially among the business
houses, to take the measure of in
of cooperation that may be offered.
Some of the things to be said in
its favor are the grounds are here
and belong to the people. Septem-
Der is the time when they like to
take some recreation after the sum-
mer's work, and before the harvest
of heavy crops begins. If people
do not have the opportunity to have
jubilee at home they miss 1t and
many travel long distances to have
their fun in other places. This Ia
not one of the boom years, and it
will help some to keep the money
at home. 1t will bring some in from
other places if we put on an attrac.
ton here.
We are informed that the boys
and girls clubs want to make an ex-
hibit of their products and Super
intendent Murray of Pocatello will
give it his attention and help the
clubs from as many counties or lo
calities as wish to exhibit.
If the celebration is put on it will |
be for three days about the middle !
of September. The committee does
not know what to call it. They do !
not want to call it fair, nor a ro-
dec, nor roundup, nor race pro-
nor melon bust, but 1t will have
some of the features of all of them.
The committee would like to have
the public furnish a name for the
event, and they will give a season
ticket to the family that suggests a
name which the committee is will
ing to adopt and do the advertising
under. This will admit the family
to the grounds free every day. The
committee will give free ticket for
the first day to any family that sug-1
gests the second best name, and a
ticket for one person for one day to
the person suggesting the third best
name.
The committee would like to have
son, came those sunset lights They
without explanation to everybody
that hears it-one that will auto
matically advertise the main idea;
a name that is easy to say, easy to
write and indicates where it is to
be. That is asking considerable, but
the committee is willing to give con-
and do an infinite amount
of work and hustling themselves to
make 1t grand success. They think
that with the aid of all the thous- ]
ands of smart people in the county, I
thinking up suitable name, that 1
one will come forth right on the 1
mental bat of some family who can
have one round Of fun for three days {
as reward to the quick work of l
their think tanks. IL

SEWANEE CAME
 WORRIES AGGIES
Coach Bible Working Texans
 Hard For MOuntaineers

DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 2S.-With the preliminary skirmishes behind them the Texas Aggies settle down in earnest for the remaining games on their schedule before they come to Dallas on October II to meet the Sewanee Tigers in the first big game of the year and the only intersectional contest scheduled for the North Texas stadium this fall.
 By the Sewanee game, Bible and Rithgeb will have settled the prob lens of the years line-up-settled on the successor to the redoubtable Puny Wilson on the left wing and to the brilliant Evans on the other-the shifting questions of the line situation. arranged the backfield offensive and more especially have found the quarter back for the year.
 Want Quarterback
 Give us field generals" is the big roar around the conference. Field gen. eralship has been a problem for Bible since the loss of Knickerbocker and the succession that has followed the famous signal caller has been streaked with good quarters who in one way or an other missed greatness.
 Aggie coaches and supporters are counting heavily on the development into a college star of Nit Dansby, who ran the famous Bryan (Texas) combi- nation of 1922 from quarterback and who had the Aggie freshmen last year. It is true that schoolboy sensations sell dom reach greatness in their first year as collegians, but the Aggies point to Logan Stollenwreck of s. NJ. U., and say that Dansby will come through Putnam came strong last year and should work in well as an alternate or relief
 Sewanee will be far more of a test this year than last for Bibles men. Bible is not overlooking the fact that in place of a green eleven he must take year-old team primed for revenge for the defeat suffered by the Tigers last year. Football is the gospel of the Mountain athletes, and they are coming to Dallas resolved to carry a Texas scalp back to Tennessee. Bennett and Moore are frankly pointing their team for the Dallas game at Fair Park stadium.
