These fines were inflicted for viola tion of the Eastern League rules. Dreyfuss, who is a DeNeri player, was in (he Scranton line-up against Jasper, and as the former had no right to play with Scranton under the Eastern League rules, and as the latter team should not have played the game with Dreymuss lined up against them, they violated the rule.

Contends Salary Raise No Cure For H. C. L By Associated Press Washington, Feb. 22. Yesterday's bread riot in New York claimed at tention in the Senate to-day during the debate on increases in salary for government clerks. Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Col orado, expressed the opinion that in creases in salary were no cure for the Increasing cost of living because, he charged, those who control food prices, would raise them to keep pace with salaries. "That is not the way to remedy bread riots such as we are having in the metropolis of this country," said Senator Thomas. "The way to deal with that is to take those who corner food supplies by the throats. I dis like to see food riots in tree America, but 1 can see that it might be the first step toward relief."

Those who are in touch with all of the worth-while musical comedies produced in the metropolis, will not need to be reminded that "The Girl Who Smiles" after its initial hearing at the Lyric, in New York, was taken to the Longacre Theater, In West Forty-eighth street, where it ran for 200 performances, and completely captivated the New York critics, who did not hesitate to declare that from every point considered "The Girl Who Smiles" was far superior to any musical comedy offered. In years. ORPHEUM Friday, matinee and night, February 23 "The Other Man's Wife." Saturday, matinee and night, February 24—"Tile Girl Who Smiles." MAJESTlC—Vaudeville. COLONIAL—"Pidgin Island." REGENT—"Snow White." To-morrow, at the Orplieum,, the Lambert Producing- Company's (Not Inc.) production, "The "The Other Other Man's Wife," from Mn' Wife" the pen of Victor E. Lam bert, will be seen here for the first time. The double standard of morals and conduct, one for man, the other for woman, is the theme. The story is be handled in a mas terly manner, and a vein of the richest humor, which runs throughout the whole piece, relieves any tendency of the story to become prosy. An after noon and evening performance will be given. Among the notable scenes of Wm. H. Kibble's "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which is to be at the Orpheum next "Uncle Wednesday, Is the St. Claire Torn'n home, showing the tropical Cabin" garden with its fragrant magnolia and orange trees, among which nestles the typical South ern plantation residence, the home of little Eva; Legree's cotton plantation on the Red river, with the cotton in full bloom; the wild, rocky pass in South ern Ohio, and the Ice choking Ohio river by moonlight. For the first time in a number of weeks Harold Lockwood and May Alli son, the two popular "Phlgln Island" Metro stars, will be at the L'oloniul seen in this city. Their latest play. "Pidgin Island," which is showing at the Colonial Theater to-day only, is taken from the well known book, and is said to bo one of the most pictur esque photoplays ever presented on the Metro program. It was staged mostly out-of-doors and is one beautiful scene after another. The picture is filled with good, lively action and its gripping cli max is one that puts true love to the supreme test. The usual funny come dies will be on the same program. Fri day and Saturday, the king of all screen stars, Dougles Fairbanks, will bo the attraction in his greatest success, "The Americano," a story of a breezy Ameri can mining engineer who gets mixed up in a South American revolution. It vibrates with life and the irresistrfDle personality of the star. Friday* one day only. Francis X.

The war spectacle, "Civilization," contains 12,000 feet of 111 m as it will be shown at the Family "Civilisation" Theater, Friday and To-morrow Saturday, February 23- 24. The camera men, after a year's work, originally took 220,000 feet of film. Then the producer, Thomas 11. Ince, put his "cutters" to work and reduced it two two-hours-and-a-half of show. The picture, it is claimed, cost a mil lion to produce and employs 40,000 peo ple in its various scenes. It will be shown here two days only, with two shows each evening, and a special show on Saturday morning,' at 10 o'clock, for schoolchildren. lx>vers of music, especially, are promised a rare treat at the Majestic for the last half, for the Ken- Hill Maids of Killarney, who at Majestic head the bill, are said to have one of the most beautiful scenic and instrumental musi cal offerings in vaudeville. An added at traction on the bill that will doubtless prove popular during its engagement here is the American Comedy Four, a quartet of men, who furnish excellent harmony. Their numbers include the songs of long-ago as well as the popu lar songs of to-day. Charles Althoff, in a Binging, talking and violin act; Coyle and Morrell, presenting a lively farce comedy sketch, "The Runaway Nurse," and Laypo and Benjamin, com edy gymnasts, complete the list of at tractions. Marguerite Clark .in her latest tri umph, "Snow White, is said to be one of the most delightful Marguerite motion pictures ever pro- Clark duoed, and will be shown at Hcgent at the Regent to-day for the last time. The production which surrounds Miss Clark is a complete and beautiful one, in which the best possible use is made of the incidents of the. original tale. The most entracing part is "Snow White's" adventure with the seven dwarfs, while the scenes between the kindly big huntsman and his dainty children are particularly pleasing. An other moment that is beautifully acted by Miss Clark and Lionel Braham, who plays the huntsman, is the scene In which "Snow White" agrees to let the huntsman kill her so that he may save the lives of his own children. The management of the Regent Thea ter begs to announce that "The Witch ing Hour," taken from "Witching Augustus Thomas' ortgt- Hour," nal, will be shown the Regent _ first three days of next Three Days week. It is said to be strong, convincing, well acted and the structural work is quite HARRISBURG TELEGR3LPH perfect. C. Aubrey Smith takes the part of Jack Brookfleld, the man whose singular telepathic power furnishes the basis of the story. His personality is pervading, and his presence and poise the kind'that center all interest upon himself, with no need of placement or director. Jack Sherill is the boy, Marie Shotwell—whose work deserves special praise—the mother. Others in the cast are: Robert Con ness, L,ewis Sealy, Helen Arnold and Robert Ayerton. It is a good selection and the parts are well played. - - HL .■< . AH StjjHroßpH ■ v v'ts< ■g\ ''* t ' vt— ■ .

This will not, however, restrain boys who have had scout training from rendering very definite service to their country. Every Boy Scout and every official of the Boy Scout movement will leave no room for doubt as to their patri otism and loyalty to the President and the government of the United States. From every Scout home will fly the American^flag. As troops or groups in our larger cities, services of the Scouts will be made available to the civic authorities for either temporary or, in some cases, permanent service as the needs may make necessary. Service of this character will in clude: Distributing notices and gathering statistical Information for the use of the civic and military authorities; Co-operating in the protection of property by accepting definite assign ments for the purpose of giving alarm in case of danger; Collecting information as to sup plies; Acting as messengers and orderlies; Co-operating with agencies organ ized for relief effort, and Assuming some definite part in tho program of the American Red Cross Society. llow to Do It. In every scout center where there is a local council and In all other com munities, committees should be formed without delay for the purpose of ten dering through the proper authority, that, is, the Mayor, the services of the Boy Scouts of America in accordance with the foregoing. With a view of further preparing for any possible emergency, it is suggested that in every community where there are two or more troops of scouts, that through the duly constituted authori ties, plans be made and actual practice be had of inobilizatipn of Scouts in the shortest possible time. In case of doubt by local committees or local councils, or by individual troops where they do not have the benefit of such leadership, as to the propriety of the Boy Scouts doing any particular service, the National Head quarters will gladly respond promptly and when necessary by telegram to all requests for advice. Adequate As Now Organized. The Boy Scout Movement will prove adequate for any emergency. Every where our boys will do their duty to God and their country, and obey the Scout Law. They will help other people at all times. They will keep themselves physi cally strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. They will do their good turns daily. Every Scout will be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. Every boy who becomes a Scout pledges himself to do these things.

The loyalty to those in au thority as exhibited In the past is, wo believe, a guarantee of the support of every officer and Scout no matter where he may be. Keep the Troops Going. An important duty will devolve upon those Scout officials who remain at home. Under no circumstances should any troop be allowed to disband or go through the summer without adult leadership because a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster has patriotically responded in the present emergency. The Troop Committee, or the Patrol leaders in case the Troop Committee is inactive, should see to it that a can vass is made, first through the institu tion with which the Troop is connect ed and then through the parents of the members of the Troop, until someone is found who will assume the leader ship of the Troop, so as to have idult supervision until the return of the Scoutmaster. t J ! * AMUSEMENTS ROYAL THEATER Showing; to-day Brady-made fea ture In live parts, featuring CARLYLE BLACKWELL -—la—- "THE BROKEN CHAIN" t' ORPfiEUM Your Old I< rlead WHITE GAIETY GIRI.S SAT.
