The connecting rod from the piston to the driving wheels on the right side of the engine broke ns the tiain had passed AVcst Collingswood, and broken pieces went fljiiig into the road bed. Some of the pieces weighed fifty pounds and were sunk into the ballast to a depth o ten to twelve inches. The engineer noticed the break as soon as it occurred and brought the train to a stop in about 100 feet. The mishap resulted only in disabling the engine and delaying the train half an hour. The passengers knew from the midden jar attending the quick applica tion ot the airbrakes something was wrong. Even in the last car the jar sent tho passengers forward with a lurch against the seats ahead. The, train makes no stops between Atlantic City and Camden and speeds along in several stretches at sixty miles an hour.' If the break occurred nt that speed tho possibility ot a serious wieck was imminent, but the train was get ting close to the Camden yard and the speed was slackened to less than thirty miles an hour. An extra engine was sent to the train, but it took nearly half an hour to get the rest of the broken rod discon nected. The broken part remaining was hanging but a few inches off the ground when the train was stopped. THEATRES BUSY IN DRIVE Actors Here Will Play Active Role for Loan Leonard Blumherg. general manager for the Messrs. Shubert, of the Lyric Adclphin, Sam S. Shubert theatre and the Chestnut Street Opera House; .1 Fred Zimmerman, Sr., Thomas M. Love, general ninnagcr of the Forrest. Oarrick and Broad Street theatres, and Harry Jordan, manager of Keith's The atre, have issued a joint announcement that plans for the Victory Loan cam paign in the theatres of this city have been completed. It is estimated that more than 200, 000 persons will isit the leading the atres of the city during tho period that the loan campaign is being conducted. Tt is the determination of the theatrical Victory Loan workers to obtain the subscriptions of at least liO per cent of that number. The amount of subscrip tions in dollars and cents which it is hoped to obtain has not been announced, but it is known that it runs into several millions of dollars. 1he leading theatucal stars of the country both men and women who will he playing at the various Philadel phia theatres during the campaign arc being depended on to carry out the major portion of the plans arranged by the manngcrs. Some of tho most noted stage folk in he country arc billed for this city dur ing the three wceksof the loan cam paign, and already tho majority of them have been informed of the part incy wm oo asKca to taue, and arc re hearsing for the work. Victory Loan motion pictures were shown last night in the Kensington Theatre. The picture will be shown again next Sunday at various moving picture houses and theatres to stimu late interest in the fifth and last of tho great wnr loan drives. More than fiOO enthusiastic residents viewed the reel, which has led to severe criticism bv Sabbatarians. Xo iVrtmis- sion fee was chnrged. Tlic exhibitions next week will nlso be free. Tho photoplay, which was produced under government direction, depicts vividly the war ns seen from the other side not staged reproductions, but the genuine battle scenes, taken while the "Yonks" were battling with the Prus sians. Lieutenant John Itidgeway, of the Eightieth Division, addressed the audi ence, and Josepu urouse, one oi me four-minute men, pleaded the cause of the Victory Loan. Mr. Tomkln's View Addressing members of his parish at Holy Trinity Church nt tho Kaster morning service, the Her. Dr. Floyd W. Tomkins said: "In n certain sense the Victory Loan is n religious thing, because we give thanks to God for the victory which has come, and ns n cliurcli we snouiu tio an we ran for the land we love." The Rev. Mr. Thomas T. Mutrhler, secretarv of the Philadelphia Sabbath Association, reiterated last night that the Sunday motion picture would hurt the Victory Loan campaign. "In making my protest against the use of these films in the moving-picture houses on Sunday nights I had in mind the welfare of the Victory Loan," Doc tor Mutchler Baid. "The Victory Loan committee bns seen fit to ignore my sug gestion, so IJiave nothing moie to say just at present." The Itev. Dr. Carl L Grnmmer, rec tor of St. Stephen's Church. Tenth above Chestnut btreets, said he could find no nrgument against the Victory Liberty Loan picture. The government's action in showing the picture, he said, was uii- -1....t.,ll. linnln'l hv till tUltlOn flml while a-"majority in Philadelphia might disagree from this view, he declared this was no reason for opposing the Victory Loan itself. View of Doctor Conwell "I am steadfastly opposed to any thing which will lake away the essential characteristics of the Sababth day," de clared the Rev. Dr. Itusscll II. Con well, at the Baptist Templ in discuss ing the Sunday showing of the Vietoiy Loan picture. "The time has come." he declared, "when there must be abso lute separation ot cliurcli and state. The question as to what activities should be indulged in on Sunday and for what purposes, should be determined by ask ing ourselves whether greater good is to come from it than harm." Doctor Conwell urged those present to liberally subscribe to the loan. Sunday motion pictures, even when used to advertise the Victory Loau, were ciiticized ns a "desecration of the Sabbath" by tho Itev. Dr. Clarence II. AVoolston yesterday in the East Baptist Church, Kensington. Reiterates Opposition The Rev. Dr. William B. Forney, in Raster nddress in Mount Vernon Life is just one jail nfter nnother for George Try. A trail of bad checks which lead from all parts of the United States, has been tho means of keeping him behind prison doors. Fondness ot the bright lights, the glittering onfes and a carefree existence is responsible for Fry's downfall, he says, lie was brought hero today by Detective Hugh Ayres to face a charge of passing a worthless cheek on J. A. Harris, vie president of the Franklin Xationnl Bank, on May 20, 101C. Fry is the son of a prominent con tractor ot St. Louis. Before he passed into City Hall today he paused -nt the door in South Penn Square ns though to join a few moments of tlfc spiing sunshine. He took a fleeting glance at the street, gaily bedecked for the Vic tory Loan campaign and scores of chug ging automobiles. "None of this is for me." he said with a sigh. Fry was arrested as he was leaing jail in Washington. lie stepped out with some hesitancy for he had n dim recol lection of other offenses. When he saw Ayres waiting nearby he walked diiectly to him. "Where to?" lie asked. "Philadelphia," replied the detective. When informed of an indictment for passing n bad check here. Fry icadilj admitted, the detecthes snj , and said he was eager to sene his time. The piisnner has the nppeaiance of n joung business man. Een n series ot .14 T jail terms have not robbed him of the atmosphere of refinement. It was this asset which enabled him to pass the check on Mr. Harris, of tho Franklin Bank. Fry posed as a nephew of Myron T. Hcrrlck, former governor of Ohio. His mnnnor was most convincing and he had little difficulty, it is said, in getting tho necessary cash. , Before serving several months im prisonment in Washington, Fry served n j ear in Blackwell Island for passing a bad check' in New York. As lie was leaving Blackw ell's, there too was n de tective waiting. A fleeting liberty, ns he rode from Isow York to Washington, was all he rnjojed nt that time. Fry doesn't know how long he will lime to serve here, but he has little hope for clemency. Even when his sen tence is completed, no matter how long It may be, the ends ot justice will not have been met. Since Fry's imprisonment in UlacK wcll several had checks turned up in Chicago. About the same time still more checks were discovered in Wash ington and I'lniadclpnla. Tlicy were traced to Fry. Washington managed to get first claim on Fry and this city came next. When he steps from the Eastern Penitentiary here, instead of being wel comed into the world, he will again see the lurking form of a sleuth nearby to take him to Chicago. And nfter Chicago well Fry doesn't know.i And rum did it all he said.

Before a congregation yesterday morn ing in the Northminster Presbyterian Church, Thirtv-fifth nnd Bnring streets, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. W. Courtland Robinson, protested agoinst the Sunday picture. At the close of the service the Session met and unanimously approved the protest nnd authorized its publica tion. He said in part: "I especially deplore the action of the Treasury Department in permitting if not promoting, this sort of thing. Patriotism is a specious plea, and if the Victory Loan falls short, which I do not expect, it will be because God did not bless it. I do not advocate bojeott against it in the least, but I do express dissent." Suicide Doubly Sure of Death George Lohn, forty-nine years old, shot and killed himself in his room at 2141 North Hope street, while hanging from a .lighting fixture. When other in mates of the house rushed to his room at the sound of the report they found Lohn banging from the chandelier and the revolver lying upon the floor.
