Windy City

Chicago, Aug. rs. LPy-High above
the roar of Chicago's loop, a sky
line hospice today availed Jiddu
Krishnamurti, retreat from the
crowds of the faithful and the curl
Gus.
The lofty quarters lent themselves
peculiarly as the residence of the
young Hindu, and to some of the
mysticism of the east where last
winter official solemnity marked the
stay of President Coolidge.
The solitude of the presidential
bungalow atop the Hotel Sherman
will be Krishnamurti's during the
fortieth American convention of the
Theosophical society, before which
his appearance is as the physical
vehicle for the messiah.
While out Of sight and almost out
of hearing of the busy streets be-
low, the residence is within a stones
throw of a handful of theaters and
the elevated lines. 1t is Immediately
accessible to the lower rooms where
the followers of the faith will
gather.
Krishnamurti will descend from
his headquarters tomorrow to lay
the cornerstone of the s250,000 Ma
tional headquarters which the men,
bers of the sect in the United
States are building at Wheaton, ILL.,,
within the metropolitan area.

Chances of freedom for the young

The tourist. who still maintains

was arrested here early this week

day to hold him on check charges.
He denied all charges and said he
would waive extradition and face
them.
Today the Baron" gave Charles
Taetsch, his travelling companion,

HOME FROM SOKOL
MEET in BOHEMIA
Frank Spacek Gives Glowing
Account Of Gymnastic Spectacle

After viewing the most mammoth
athletic spectacle in the world,
Frank Spacek of SO Ills street has
returned to this city. Mr.. Spacek
was present at the Sokol meetings
| in Prague, Bohemia. on July 4, 5.
and 6, in which nearly 10000 peo-
pie took part. He, in company with
about 5000 other Americans of b.
I hemian extraction, viewed this great
convention which was attended by
people from all parts of the civil
lied world.
The size OF the great field, sur
rounded on all sides by huge tiers of
seats. can be gained from Mr.. Spa.
cek's statement that it is 25 min
utes' walk along one side of it. 1t
is about a mile squire and the
stands seat 10000, about. twice as
many as does the Yale Bow in New
Haven.
Fifteen thousand people took part
in the games at one time, accord
ing to Mr.. Spacek, and so popular
are these meetings that practically
all of Bohemia, which is now
zecho-Slovakia, turns out to wit
ness them. All types of athletic
games and drills were performed
and the calisthetics were especially
impressive.
Mr.. Spacek returned last Monday
from Europe. About 100 Ameri-
cans, active members of the Sokol,
took part in the events. These
meetings are held every six years
and all tickets for admission to the
huge stadium are sold weeks in ad-
vance. Mr.. Spacek said that last
minute arrivals have little chance
of securing returned tickets, be-
cause no one returns them. He
said that everyone who has a ticket
makes sure that he is able to at
tend each meeting, whether or not
the weather is clear. He said that it
was raining much of the time the
games were in progress and in spite
of this fact, everyone remained. 2
The Sokol meetings We're started
in 1882 and were primarily designed
to show the progress of the country.
At that time the membership was
small and the meetings were held
on a small scale. The membership
is growing every day, he said. When
asked if there are any other athletic |
meetings or spectacles in the world |
which can compare with these !
meetings he stated that none can |
compare with the Sokol conferences
as far as size is concerned.
Mr.. Spacek, before he returnted, !
travelled through Germany, Austria |
and France. He said that conditions |
seem to be improving all the time |
and that the Bohemians are better
off now than they were before the
war. Industry is slack there. at
this time of the year.
Living is cheaper in Czecho Slo-
vakia than 1t is in the United States, |
although the people do not receive |
such wages as they do in this coun-
try. He said that the residents of |
that country express a great interest |
in the affairs of the United States.
Although there are about 20 po-
litical parties in Czecho- Slovakia. |
Mr.. Spacek said that they are all
the president, T. G. Ma |
saryk, who is loved and respected.

Buried City Covers
10000 Square Metres

Mexico City. Aug. % LP - The
ruins of a Maya city supposedly
built some 1900 years ago, have
been found near Santa Isabel in
the state of Chiapas almost at the
Guatemalan border. The discovery
was made by two Mexican scien-
lists, Enrique Juan Palacios and
Miguel De Mendidabal, officials of
the department of archaeology of
the National museum.
The ruins were found in the jun
gle near a well travelled highway.
The scientists report more than 80
buildings, mostly temples, are
easily traced in the ruined city.
Under many mounds they believe
other edifices will be found. Many
obelisks, tablets and statues were
found with Maya characters. The
area of the city is estimated at
more than 10000 square meters.

$4,000 REGISTERED
At Fairgrounds
Attendance for Season Shows
Popularity Among Youth

The first sign of a passing sum-
mer came today to the Juvenile pop
ulation of this city in the disnan-
ting of the Fairgrounds for the sea-
son, and many sad and wistful face
looked on as the swings and other
paraphernalia were being taken
down. Many of the children were
perhaps thinking that this has been
their last season of play, because
they will probably take up their life
work before another playground
season comes around.
Among the duties of the directors
of the individual grounds was one
that called for a record of the daily
attendance. Twice each day. morn
ing and afternoon, the numbers at
tending the grounds were carefully
recorded and an additional record
was made for evening at the Wash
ington ground, which was kept open
from 9 a. m. to $50 p. m. The fig
ures show a grand total of approx
mately $4,000 children who enjoyed
the Fairgrounds this year.
NlllUW bIOOh pldSSl OuIlu' NAIIli
is operated by the park board, will
be kept open until Sept. 4, SO that
the children will not be entirely
without a place to play.
The Washington ground had the
largest attendance with about $4,000
for the season. Here the need of
real Fairgrounds in this city was
clearly demonstrated, because on
evenings when the weather was fair
between 500 and 700 youngsters and
grown-ups enjoyed themselves de-
spite the handicaps of lack of suit
able playing space. The Washing
ton ground covers large area, but
little of it is graded and the remain
der is inadequate to accommodate
the crowds attending. 1t was a real
job to keep the baseball lovers off
the front lawn in their quest for a.
level place on which to make dia-
mond.
The total attendance at the play
grounds for the season was as fol-
lows: Burritt, 1890; Willow Brook,
1890; Paradise park. $4,000; Bart
lett, $500: Smith, 3,4o0, and Wal
nut Hill, $500.

ONLY ONE CONTEST IS
SEEN FOR CONVENTION
Continued from First Page)

Daniel f. B. Hickey and City Prose
cutor Max Spelke.
In New Haven, where it was re-
ported by the registrars of voters
on the primary lists, the turnout of
electors was the largest on record
for republican caucuses.
The regular organization tight
sened its hold by defeating the fac.
ton headed by Clarence G. Willard
In 20 of the 33 wards and by fiat
margin of 2,525 votes when the vote
in all the wards was added together.
Willard lost ground as compared
with his test of the leadership of
Colonel !. NJ. Ullman of two years
ago.
III some of the wards the work OF
checking names by primary list was
a long one and many scores of
electors did not wait to vote; other
wise the total vote would have been
much larger. As 1t was, a rough
estimate was that 1851 persons
voted, of whom 5,93S were for the
Ullman side and S,413 for the Will
lard side. In each ward delegates
we're elected to various committees
and the Ullman side took 104 of
these, leaving 10 for the Willard
side.
Aside from the fight over town
committee there were contest for
delegates to senatorial conventions
in the four New Haven districts.
The results assure denomination
OF State Senators Frederic l.. Ford
and George Z. Hall and nomination
in the tenth and 18th districts OF
candidates selected by the regulars.
Rev. Daniel w. Strickland, a war
chaplain, will be nominated in the
tenth district and Senator Harry

elected in the nth, which Is usually
democratic, viii not be renominated
because he had thrown over all al
legiance TO the regulars and worked
with the Willardites.
The eleventh district nomination

At the democratic primary of
Thursday night Senator Joseph

delegates as he had taken no part

Town Chairman Joseph F. Nor
rissey in review OF the New IIa-
ven republican caucuses said that
the outcome was a "vindication of
Mayor Towers administration" and
a victory for home rule"

been critical of Mayor Towers acts
and also that their interest was In
behalf of what is called the up
state organization"
