This announcement comes as a great
surprise, perhaps, to the public, but it j

contempulating ever since her affllia- i
tion with Metro Pictures Corporation. I
and her decision came simultaneously;
■with the completion for the screen of
her present production, the picture ver- ,
sion of Margaret Daland's great novel.
In "The Awakening of Helena i
Richie," Miss Barrymore was given, a
free hand to work out the beauty of
the story in such a way that her most (
earnest desires for a fine production
were fulfilled. She sought to recap- J
ture and present to the audiences of j
to-day the fluaint charm of Old Chester
in the days before the war. using it :
for a background against which she
has re-enacted the tragedy of a wo- ,
man's soul, and the glory of renuncia
tion by which she finally wins real i
happiness. Thursday and Friday, Peggy

ductions should not fail to see ."The ,

proved conclusively how great a play
"The Witching Hour" is. This psycho- j
logical drama will be again shown to
dav and to-morrow. C. Aubrey Smith
holds the attention of the audience
like magic. Telepathy forms the basis I
of the play, which is probably familiar (
to the majority of theatergoers. The
inherited dread of a cat s-eye pin causes
r Clay Whipple to murder a drunken
gambler, who taunts him with it. He
is saved from the gallows by the tele- |
pathic influence upon the jury exerted
by Jack Brookfielzl. a gentleman
gambler, who loves Clay's mother. The
dread of the cat's-eye is destroyed In
the boy's mind by Brookfield by means j
of a simple trick. In the picture it is
possible to show so many scenes which
were simply talked about in the play,
and these seem the bis: part of the film.

Burglar Made Vocation
Science He Confesses
Chicago. 111.. Feb. 28.—Burglary ns
a science in which book learning and
athletic training play a vital part was
described in the confession of Adam
Pochowski. made public by Maclay i
Hoyne, State's Attorney. Prochow ski,
a graduate of the University of War- 1
saw. Poland, told in detail, according
to Mr. Hoyne, how he robbed wealthy
homes in the LaM Shore Drive district I
of Chicago.
"I never carried a weapon and 1
spent an hour daily with dumbbells
and two hours with tny books, that 1
might become fitted to represent an
American house in Russia," he \vas re
ported to have told the State's At
torney.
A "jimmy," a newspaper and a
skeleton key and a hatpin were said to
have been Prochowski's only tools in
entering homes. Entrance was effect
ed, it was said, by prying a window
open or unlocking doors with a skele
ton key after a newspaper was pushed
under the door and the regular key
forced out with a hatpin so that it fell
on the paper.
According to the confession made
public, the location of a means of es
cape was the tirst step in robbing a
house. Next the occupants were
locked in their rooms. Athletic
ability helped Prochowski enter
homes. Mr. Hoyne said, and through
books he learned of a solution, which
he sometimes carried, for testing gold.
Precious stones, however, generally
were said to have been rejected un
less set in platinum, upon the theory
that more valuable jewels would not
be set in gold.
"MOTHER CAREY'S CHICKENS"
SUCCESSFUL OX THE STAGE
"1 heard one of Billy Sunday's most
, talked of sermon.*- in Boston a few
weeks ago, but I found more religion
when 1 saw 'Mother Carey's Chickens'
last night," remarked a resident of
Portland, Maine, of Mrs. Wiggin's lat
est play, which has been given to
crowded houses in different cities since
its tirst performance in Poughkeepsie,
New York, some weeks ago. The play
is taken from the famous book of the
same name, and those who have en
joyed the simple philosophy, the de
licious humor, and tender romance of
the book will tlrd it faithfully trans
ferred to the stage. It has been said
4 that the greatest test of the writer's
art is to give plausibility to difficult
or seemingly impossible situations.
Any one who has seen this little
"comedy of home" will be tempted lo
believe that it takes a greater art to
present on the written page or on the
stage the things of every day with
such emphasis of the finer shades that
humor and home details are seen to
support genuine feeling and sentiment.
The same rare qualities are to be
found in all of Mrs. Wiggin'a work,
and her latest book, "The Romance of
a Christmas Card," continues in de
mand, even though the season around
which the story centers has passed.

FLAGMAN TELLS OF
DESPERATE EFFORT
[Continued From First Page]
waved the red lamp many times. The
engineer on the freight train gave no
signal that he saw me. When the
train came closer I realized that it
was too late to prevent an accident
and I jumped down the embankment
to save my life.
"The freight train was running
about 50 miles an hour. It was foggy,
but I could see the engine headlight.
Had the engineer seen my signal he
could have stopped in time to prevent
a collision. After the crash I talked
to the fireman on the freight engine,
and to one of the brakemen on the
engine. Both told me thev called to
the engineer to stop as a flagman had
signalled. He gave no attention to
the calls and the fireman and brake
man said they got ready to jump
when they realized it was too late to
prevent a wreck.
"I also asked the fireman and
brakeman whether they had called the
signals when their train came on the
block. They said they had and that
the engineer called back 'white,'
meaning he had a clear track.
Conductor Stowrat's Story
Conductor William W. Stewart, 1601
State street, who was in charge of the
passenger train, said: "We were run
ning late. Our time at Mt. Union is
11.54. We arrived at 12.02. Three
minutes later signals were given to
move. There was trouble in getting
started. I thought it was due to the
heavy train. When several unsuccess
ful attempts were made to get away I
made an investigation and found air
brake trouble on the first mail car.
I sent Brakeman Baird back ta tell,
the flagman to go back with his lamps, 1
and noticed that he had already start- '
ed.
"In the meantime I made an inves
tigation of the trouble with the air and j
found what we term a 'kicker' was
holding the brakes. I had just loosed •
the brakes when the crash came. The j
passenger train was knocked ahead
three car lengths. I immediately went j
back and found that a freight train
had crashed into the rear of my train.
The second car from the rear of the
train was telescoped into the last car.
The passengers in the last cars were
unable to get out and I was told later |
they all had teen killed.
"As soon as possible officials at Al
toona and Harrisburg were notified.
The weather was hazy, but I could see
the signal. I questioned the engineer
about his injuries and he said his foot
was hurt and that otherwise he was
all right. I was told by Flagman Ja- •
cobs what the fireman and brakeman
had told him."
Brakcnian Corroborates
Brakeman Baird corroborated what i
Conductor Stewart said and also ex
plained how he went back to notify i
Flagman Jacob* to go back. He was
at the front car of the passenger train
when the crash came, having returned
from notifying the flagman. Baird •
said he found two sleeping cars tele
scoped. After the injured part of the
train had been moved away from the I
wrecked cars all passengers were ques
tioned and not one said he had been
hurt. Some were knocked from their
seats and two were thrown out of
berths in another sleepin gear.
Mr. Whltenimi at Wreck
Trainmaster Wniieman. wlio was
called to the scene of the wreck, re
turned to Harrisburg at 10 o'clock
to-day. He said it vas Impossible to
describe the wreck. He many times had
seen caTs piled up. he said, and recalled
the Lochiel wreck, but for a complete
telescoping of cars the wreck last night
surpassed all. He remained at Mount
Union until two tracks had been
cleared Asked about the causes that
' lead up to the collision, the trainmaster
j said;
"I am not In a position to say any
thing about the cause of the wreck.
The two sleeping cars were telescoped
completely and looked like one car.
One would suppose the passengers in
the Pullman next to the rear car would
have suffered most, but It was just the
other way. No one can account for it.
I was told the freight train was mak
ing fast time.
"The passengers who were killed were
all sleeping, according, to reports. There
may have Bien one or two up. They

never knew what happened, and I do
not think any of thom suffered after
the crash came. Middle division offi
cials from Altoona were on the scene
when I arrived and had given instruc
tions as to the bodies. Medical aid
was not necessary, as I was told on ar
rival that none of the passengers in
the other cars had been injured.
Cook Xot failed
Engineer A. T. Cook, of the freight
train was not called to give his testi
mony. He Ka\i his story at his home
at noon to-day. It was not made pub
lic. and will be forwarded to Altoona.
Kngineer Cook had' been on the sick
list and returned to duty aoout a week
ago, He was not in good physical con
dition when he left Altoona. and it is
said, told his firemen that he had not
been feeling well for several days. He
is on -ecord as being one of the best
engineers on the Middle division.
Fireman H. B. Thomas, who resides
at 514 Kelker street, was not In Har
risburg to-day. He was ordered to Al
toona and will remain there until af
ter the Investigatlon to-night. He Is
said to be an important witness re
garding th signals and speed of the
freight train.
Brakeman S. H. Barr, an extra man,
who was on the freight train, resides
in Altoona. He also went to his home.
He was riding on the engine with the
fireman. His testimony Is also of im
portance, according to local officials.
Conductor E. K. Fagan, 411 Herr
street: dnU (•fa'kemun K. Humphreys,
Cl 6 Oxford street, and H. K. MeNeal,
526 Herr street, were other members
of the freight crew. They gave no
testimony here except regarding the
speed of the train. It was the general
belief that the freight was making *SO
miles an hour. There were 35 cars on
the train, mostly high-class freight.
STATIC BEGINS PKOBE OF
