Schwab Gives Cripple Crisp S2O Bill Atlantic City, Feb. 1. A tiny cripple on a wicker stretcher which was being propelled along the Board walk yesterday caught the eye and won the ready sympathy of Charles M. Schwab, and as a result one of the charitable institutions for invalid chil dren in Chelsea will receive a substan tial check. While Mrs. Schwab waited in her chair the steel magnate spoke to the nurse and the little sufferer. The lat ter's eyes grew large as saucers when he examined a crisp paper Mr. Schwab pressed into his hand as he turned away. It was a S2O bill. SIGHT TROOP TRANSPORT New York. Jan. Feb. 1.

I FOLWELL AGAIN ON PENN'S LIST | Athletic Committee Lifts Ban on Popular Coach; Joy to Students Philadelphia. Feb. 1.—"Bob" Folwell lias once more come into his own, and the savior of Penn football is almost certain to be seen as head coach of the Red and Blue footfall team on Frank lin Field next fall. After refusing to ratify Folwell as coach for next sea son on the grounds .that his actions during the past season had reflected discredit on the university, the faculty committee on athletics yesterday, in a three-hour session, decided to restore j Folwell's name to the list of proSpec -1 tive coaches for next season. | This practically means that Folwell I will bo ratified by the football commit ' tee within a day or so. and that his 1 ratification will be approved by the faculty committee. The statement given j out by Dr. Goodspeed, chairman of the j university faculty committee on athle | tics, after yesterday's meeting was as 1 follows: la Again Eligible • "At a meeting of the faculty com mittee on athletics, at which various ! interests were represented, Mr. Fol i well being present, it was voted that ■ Mr. Folwell's name oe restored to the (list of tentatively-approved candidates for next year's football coaches." The action of the faculty committee rcame as a decided surprise to the sup i porters of Folwell. as well as to the fae- I tion which had previously supported | the action of the committee. Every j member of the committee attended the ! meeting yesterday, including John C. Bell, the representative of the board 1 of trustees, who came from the South ! for the purpose. Folwell Explains | "It has been a terrible mixup,' he declared, "and the result of a misrepre sentation of facts. So far as 1 am con- Icerned, my relations with the football j committee, and with everybody at Penn sylvania. will be on as high a plane as they were during the past season. I want to retract anything I ever said about cliques or the "old guard.' for I sincerely don't believe that any man in connection with athletics at Penn is prompted by any motive other than the ■ good of the university and Its institu tions. We are going to get together and put Penn on the map as has never been done before. The students, the football committee and the faculty , committee are now back of me, and, J with the confidence born of that fact, I jam going to deliver the goods with a j championship football team next year."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LEAGUE ORDERS RULE CHANGES Meet at Syracuse; Plan For Early Season; Anni versary Banquet HT iggg&m m ■ m HE-***' m : PRESIDENT J. H. FARRELL Syracuse, Feb. 1. The meeting of the New Y'ork State League here yes terday was a veritable love feast, changes in the constitution were rec ommended and it was decided to lengthen the season. Utica was given until February 10 to sell out or turn over the franchise to the league. A banquet was held last night in com memoration of the twentieth anniver sary of the league. The constitutional changes provide that no club shall have more than 14 players thirty days after the season starts. Formerly teams were given two weeks. Clubs using players not sign ed to contracts will have victories thrown out. but losses will stand. No tice of terms accepted, must also be filed within ten days after the ar rangements are agreed upon between player and owner. The staff of official scorers will be appointed by the pres ident. It was decided that a special book of tickets for 20 gate admissions may be issued to boys under 15 years at $2 per book. Ladies' days will be every Tuesday and Friday. The league decided to have a double um pire system this year and that the um pires must be on the field 30 minutes before the start of the game. Double Headers Start No double headers will be played within 30 days of the opening of the season. No club can be compelled to play more than one double header to the series except in the last series when the president shall make the arrangements. The game guarantee this season will be $75 rain or shine. Not more than four exhibition games may be played with leagues of higher classification by each team. Water town has written the president ask ing that teams be sent for exhibition games during the Jefferson county fair September 4 to 7. inclusive. The season will open April 24; and close September 9. The schedule com mittee meets in Harrisburg in March. Speeches were made at the banquet by John Evers, of Boston Braves; Frank Seiss, of Harrisburg, and other members of the league. President Farrell gave a short history of the league.

MAJORS TO MEET FOR CELEBRATION May Clash Over World's Scries Plans; Other Bule Changes New York. Feb. I.—Organized base ball is getting set for an old-fash ioned celebration when the two major leagues meet here the week of Febru ary 12 for ratification of the 1917 sched ules. The wraps will be taken oft to celebrate the wake over the corpse of the baseball players' strike. It is even hinted that Charles 11. Ebbets intends to square himself with the vox populi for its slight involved over his cham pionship banquet of sixteen plates dur ing the annual National League meet ing In December. Banquet or no banquet, the schedule meetings should develop a little bit of fun. Of course, the schedules of the two major leagues are as good as adopted now. But with practically all of the players worth while gone over to the owners there remains certain problems to be cleared if the coming season is :to fulfill its promise. HF.HA> OPEXS BRANCH TOBACCO FACTORY AT ST. HOLLY Mt. Holly, Pa., Feb. 1. A new I branch factory at' this place has been ! added to the string of factories owned 1 by the John C. Herman Co., tobacco manufacturer, of Harrisburg. A build ing has been leased and work will be taken up pome time next week.

Saturday, matinee and night, February 3—Mrs. Kiske in "Erstwhile Susan." Tuesday and Wednesday John Cort presents "Mother Carey's Chickens." MaJ KSTlC—Vaudeville. COLONIAL—"A Wife by Proxy." REGENT—"A Coney Island Princess.' We have often stopped and wondered why it was that so many of our chil dren never seemed to "The tilrl have a chance. Are our Vlthuut children always to a Clianee" blame? Is it not every father's and mother's sacred duty to see that their child has all the advantages that will benefit them as they grow older in years? But think how many of the parents are themselves to blame for the defects mentally and morally of their children. When a young girl fails to find en couragement or consolation under the paternal roof, naturally she will seek it elsewhere; and when she finds it, no matter from what source it comes, she I places herself into those arms of con solation without giving a thought to the future and when the parents learn what has happened to their child, then only do they awaken to the situation and see where the blame lies that their child was one of those unfortunate girls without a chance. Observing the Rossibility of this theme, Whitney Coi ns built around it this play "The Girl Without a Chance." which comes to the Orpbeum to-morrow, matinee and j night. I "Mother Carey's Chickens." drama tized from Kate Douglas Wiggin's tre mendously popular novel. "Mother which begins an engage- Cnrey'a ment at the Orpheum next | Chicken " Tuesday and Wednesday and Wednesday matinee, has a character said to be mere capti vating than "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." "Nancy." who is one of the four children of "Mother Carey," is the winsome, bewitching, optimistic girl, who will take the popular heart by storm. The character is bound to make a strong appeal to women and girls and the immense popularity of the book is sufficient proof to venture the opinion that "Nancy." as well as "Mother Carey." will live long in the hearts of the theatergoers. "A Dream of the Orient." said to be one of the season's biggest vaudeville spectacles, will be the "A Dream of feature attraction at the Orient" the Majestic Theater at Majeattc the last half of this week. The act centers around a young man who smokes a pipe I of opium in Chinatown, and what fol lows is supposed to be a dream—a dream that is said to be a bewildering conglomeration of feminine beauty, elaborate costumes, grand opera sing ing and sensational dancing. Surround ing this attraction are: Macart and i Bradford, young couple in a comedy variety skit, entitled, "I-ove, Honor and [Obey;" Lillian Calvert, pretty girl sing ling popular songs; Lazar and Dale, two I men in a blackface singing, talking and dancing act. and the Novelty Clintons, in a comedy Jumping act. D'Avino's Bard, said to be "the finest concert band In America." will be in Harrisburg on Saturday O'Avino's night of this week. Band This band comprises the select players from D'Avi no's famous band of fifty, and is con ducted by Signor A. D Avino. This leader has arranged a program of al most Inconceivable beauty, made doubly effective by his original and unique in strumentation. Each member of the band is an artist and all are soloists. The program includes classical, stan dard and popular selections, blended to suit all tastes. With grand chimes, xylophone, harp, Egyptian trumpets, etc., in addition to the more common solo instruments, there is sufficient variety to entertain everybody, and at the same time, the artistic rendition will meet the approval of the most critical. D'Avino's Concert Band will be at the Stevens Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church. Thirteenth and Vernon itreets, Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock. FEBRUARY 1, 1917. WELLY'S jSt CORNER Yale has a groat football schedule. All games wil be played in the Bowl at New Haven except with Harvard on November 24. This game closes the season and will be played at Cam bridge. Princeton will be entertained one week earlier. The season opens September 29 with Carnegie Tech. Bob Folwell has been vindicated. It required little time for the faculty commitee to get busy after the stu dent body started activity. Indica tions are that he will be given a long contract to coach at an increased sal ary. The Harrisburg Ritle Club will meet to-night in the Wyeth building. Plans for the opening of the new rango will be discussed and other important questions taken up. The local shoot ers are anxious to start activity on the range. Team No. 1 of the Solvay Bowling League broke the tie last night de feating the No. 3 team. This gives last night's winners the first cham pionship. It has been an interesting race. Cash prizes were divided among the teams and players. On the win ning team were Butcher, Mathis, Schriver, Baxter and Paine. J. Clyde Myton, secretary of the Motor Club of Harrisburg, has issued a call for a meeting of the Board of Seat sale limited to 1,300. Tickets at Bogar's, on the Square, and at Schell's Store, 1307 Market street. Lovers of good, clean screen drama will be delighted witli the Metro play. "A Wife by Proxy," 1 " * Wife by showing at the Colonial Proxy" ni Theater to-day only, tlie Colonial which features Mabel j Taliaferro, one of the prettiest little stars on the screen. The | atory deals with a little Irish colleen, i who marries a young man, about whom : she knows very little, in order that he 1 may inherit a vast fortune left him by his uncle, on condition that he marry before a certain date. Her adventure very nearly proves disastrous, until fate takes a hand in the game and puts matters right for all parties concern ed. The usual funny comedies will complete the program. 1' riday, one day only. Thos. H. Ince will present Dor othy Dalton. Chas. Ray and Louise Glaum in "The Weaker Sex." Irene Fenwiek and Owen Moore will be presented in "A Coney Island Prin cess" at the Regent for the "A Coney last times to-day. It is a Isiaml very human and interest lrlnre" ing tale of a wealthy idler at Regent who is engaged to a thor oughbred girl ol' high ideals. To-inorrow only—the sensational play. "New York," featuring the famous actress, Florence Reed, will be the at traction. It is a play that casts the searchlight on the whirlpool section of the great metropolis, and edges ever so gently into the purer clement that, really does exist in spots. Dozen Ships From Phila. Dae in Restricted Zone Philadelphia, Feb. 1. Germany's declaration for unrestricted naval warfare thus far has had no effect on shipping of Philadelphia. The collec : tor of the port had no instructions to ' hold up shipping, all vessels being at j libe/ty to come and go unmolested, he said to-day. More than a dozen ships that left here within the last two weks are due in the restricted zones outlined by Germany.

The several hundred sailors of the interned German auxiliary cruisers Prinz Eitel Frederlch and Kronprinz Wilhelni at the Philadelphia navy yard who have been forbidden shore leave through an order issued by the Navy Department, had been permitted to go about the streets of Philadelphia at will. Their confinement within the navy yard reservation to-day was not explained in the order issued last night forbidding shore leave. The normal guard maintained about I the German steamers Prinz Oskar and [ Rhaetia and the Austrian steamer Franconia, interned here since the war began, has not been increased.

INSIDE HISTORY ABOUT MEXICANS Dr. Frederick Monscn, Ex plorer Explains Some Causes For Present Troubles Dr. Frederick Monsen, explorer anil lecturer, last night told many interest- ing' things about Mexico. His acquaintance with Madero, Car ranza and Villa gave hiin much valu able information which lie related during a lecture at the Technical high school auditorium under the auspices of the Harrisburg National History So ciety. His subject was "Turbulent Mexico" and was divided into two parts, "lico nomic and Political Causes For the Revolution", and "Scenes From Mex ico." Dr. Monscn told of his acquaintance with Madero, and now he, a man of wealth, took up the Peon cause. Ma dcro was classed as ft dreamer leading a cause that will not down. Dr. Mon scn characterized Carranza as a man of good character, but not strong. Obregon is the power behind the throne according to the lecturer. Villa was another intimate acquaint ance of the explorer. Two years ago Dr. Monscn was with Villa's ariny and obtained some extraordinary war pic tures. Drop to 18 Forecasted Tonight; Colder Tomorrow Temperature will drop to at least 18 degrees above zero this evening, and will hover nearec zero to-morrow is the forecast put out this morning by Local Forecaster E. R. Demain. The cold wave will doubtless niuko the smaller tributaries ice'bound and stop the rise of the past several days. Gorges in the Susquehanna near Wrightsville have disintegrated to such an extent in the past few daya that the residents are feeling safer. It is thought that the warm weather has melted and honeycombed the ice to such an extent that even in case of a gorge the Ice will not bo strong enough to do extensive damage.
