trip to America had been undertaken for
the purpose of studying the American alb
Origine. He brought a talented artist by
the name Of BOdmar with him to portray
the scenery and the natives of the country.
Macmillan vas born in 1852 and so was
over 80 years Of age at the time Of his
visit. He had nearly 20 years before eX-
plOred South America and heard of the
battle of Waterloo while in the Wilds Of
Brazil. He was a soldier in the ranks at
the battle of Jena and the music of the
ASSinibOin warriors at Fort Mckenzie re-
called to him the songs of the Russian
soldiers nearly 80 years before. He arrived
at Boston, July 4, 1882, and spent two years
in this country. He accepted the hOspi-
taIty of the American Fur company and
left st. Louis April 10. 1888, on the steam
er Yellowstone, the first steamer to pillow
the waters of the Missouri, but at Fort
Pierre was transferred to the sister ship
AssinibOin and proceeded to Fort Union,
where he arrived Jun "a.
Macmillan studied the flora and fauna
and BOdmar was kept busy p~Ortraying the
features of the region and advantage was
taken of a short stop at Fort Clark near
the Mandan villages above Bismarck, in
this work.
To Fort Mckenzie
After two weeks spent at Fort Union he
sought and secured permission of Alexan'
der CulbertSOn, in charge to proceed on the
keel boats bound for Fort Mckenzie, and
here he and BOdmar arrived about August

outside the stockade and they were at

bOins, and a bloody battle ensued which
ragged with varying successes all day. A
first the inmates of the fort thought it wa!
a joint attack on them and they proceeded
to defend themselves accordingly.
An Overcharge
Macmillan secured a gun, which wa.
loaded, and in the excitement rammed il
a second load of buckshot. He secured
portfolio in one of the baStiOns and drew
bead on an Assiniboin and fired, n it i
said that the recoil or kick Of the guI
sent him %sprawling across the bastiOn.
BOdmar was a close observer of the con

realistic painting of the fight, and this il

deemed necessary. Mr.. Burrus and other
associates were also granted a charter as

Three Forks at Gallatin City and to have
the exclusive right to the navigation OF

Roads across the mountains were to be
constructed. A charter to the Ophir and

Ophir and thence west via Lewis and
Clark's pass and evidently to connect with
the Mullan road.
Another charter to Messrs. Burris and

primary purpose of this restriction, it
is understood, was to prevent what is
described as propaganda" and pub
lefty broadcasts such as has been
charged were going out from NAA.
Literally interpreted, however, 1t
was not believed that the amendment
would be applicable to such popular
concerts as those arranged by the Pan
American Union. These concerts have
been broadcast in the past by WRC,
but the basis on which this station is
now operating, forced the officials of
the Pan-American Union to turn to
NAA.
The Pan-American broadcast will
mark the radio debut of the newly
organized United Service Orchestra,
which will present an impressive pro-
gram of Latin American music. The
concert will be embellished with cello
and marfmba solos and recitals by
Senior Milla Ybarra de Dominguez of
Mexico, formerly soloist with the Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra, and Carlos
Vladerrama, noted Peruvian composer
and pianist. who uses the Incan
themes in all his works.
Five more broadcast stations were
licensed just prior to the enactment
of the new radio control act, it was
announced today at the Department
of Commerce. These will be the last
for two months, at least. Future
licensing is up to the Federal Radio
Commission, which probably will not
be able to untagle The ether jam before

The famous New York symphony

night. The orchestra will play five
selections by famous composers.
among them Beethoven's overture
"Egmont." Bizet's Carmen Suite"
and Liszt's Les Preludes.'
WRC's list of features also includes
one-act play, THE Lost Silk Hat"
