Physical Director Pleased With Results Shown in Training Physical Director Miller, who has been putting the policemen through 1 their paces at the Y. M. C. A. "gym" | says— "The fact that six of our city policemen defeated a like number of young men the other evening in a volley ball match will likely go un noticed. To me it indicates that at j least six of our city patrolmen have j been beneiitted physically to such an ! extent that now they are perl'ormtng physical feats that three months ago were thought unattainable. "It is no easy matter to condition men w ho have reached tlieir fortieth year, but ,if results accomplished so j far with a small group of men could , be extended to the entire police de- | partment this city would boast of :i far more efficient force. "They should also be given first i aid instruction and taught how to I resuscitate the drowning and the use j of the pulmotor. "Our physical department stands l ready at all times to assist the city in ; any way possible for the betterment of the service." Mr. Miller was referee of the volly, ball contest which he mentions and ; got so interested in the fast work of ! the policemen that he forgot to keep j score. Funeral Services Held For Mrs. John J.

The Maharaj Kumar of Tikarl, one of the wealthy native princes, has I executed a deed of trust devoting his entire personal estate to founding an institution for the education of Indian | women. The property concerned is ; valued at about $7,000,000. In view of j the much greater purchasing power of 1 money in India, it is believed that the ! gift will accomplish as much propor i tionately as a gift of nearly ten times f the size in England or America. Dependent members of the Ma ; haraj's family have already been pro ; vided for by separate funds, and all \ liabilities of the estate are duly se cured. The scheme is for a strictly j "purdah" residential Institution, where ' lhe girls will be trained and educated jon the best modern principles from the age of 5 to 18. There will be no j question of caste or creed. ■ The gift owed its inspiration large- I ly to the Maharaj's wife, who has been I one of the foremost native Indian wo men in the crusade for Improvement ! of the lot of Indian women. The Ma- I haraj himself was one of the first na i tive princes to fight in France, and has spent over two years on the bat tlefield. He was brought up by Eng lish tutors in India and has been a great traveler. V. W. C. A. BUILDING OPENED Eancaster.

URGES ACHY COALPILETO HELP NEEDY Would Have Every Family Dump a Bucket of Fuel on Common Pile in view of the very serious coal shortage in Harrisburg the following suggestion received from a reader of lhe Telegraph to-day will be of more than usual interest: "May 1 be permitted to make a suggestion to you in the matter of the coal shortage? "Harrisburg has always done her patriotic bit—-and always will. The writer thinks it Is now up to Harris burg to help her own citizens in this hour of coal stress. This is my sug gestion: "Let everybody or rather every family which has coal givo one bucket of coal each week to the city to be dumped on a pile, somewhere central, and to be known as the City Patriotic Coal Pile. Tf 15.000 homes give one bucket each, the total would be 15,000 buckets. If a bucket of coal weighed ten pounds 15.000 buckets would weight 150,000 pounds or equal to about 75 tons. "These 75 tons should then be sold to the needy—rich and poor alike- — at a proper price. This patriotic move would give the City Coal Pile 15,000 buckets a week or 75 tons a week until warm weather comes. "The move would distribute coal now In cellars over the entire city. "Who wouldn't give a bucket a week? Every home would. "Each family should deliver its own bucket of coal to the City Patriotic Coal Pile. It's a little effort but It will relieve the situation. "With the money the city receives for the coal it could buy more coal for the coal pile. If there was money left by spring and there would be. It could be given to the Red Cross." It Is a matter of complaint that some dealers are selling coal by the bushel, netting sl2 to sls a ton. Below-Zero Weather Halts Freight Movement in Pittsburgh District Bv Associated Pfess Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 21.—With the temperature below zero and a heavy fog hanging over the entire district, the railroads were seriously hampered In their efforts to clear the freight congestion to-day. Yes terday was clear and long coal trains were hurried to the east, but con ditions this morning caused a gen eral slackening of operations. The plan to get coal to mills along the Monongahela river by breaking the sixteen-inch lee in the third pool ana thus open a way to the mines south of the city, was carried out yester day. but it was necessary to keep boats moving to-day as the ice form ed quickly In the low temperature. War Taxes Will Close Many Hazleton Saloons Hazleton, Pa., Jan. 21. —It won't be necessary for the W. C. T. U. or other organizations to remonstrate against the granting of liquor licen ses in Luzerne county this year. Conditions in the business Indi cate that hundreds of saloonkeep ers will voluntarily retire. Trade has fallen off to such a great extent as a result of the high war taxes that a great many of the retailers are unable to meet ex penses. Hazleton looks for a re duction of from $25,000 to $30,000 in revenues due to the prospective closing out of local stands which have proven unprofitable. The court has intimated that very few, if any, new licenses will be granted, and for that reason the usual antlsaloon activity manifested before the opening of license ses sions is lacking. Nevertheless, tem perance and prohibition leaders will not allot tha liquor forces "to put anything over" and will be repre sented by counsel and a large dele gation whenever the hearing of ap plications begins in February. Red Cross Workers Look After Soldiers at Station Red Cross workers met a troop train passing through this city yes terday and gave stamped postcards, cigarets, chewing gum , chocolate and magazines to the soldiers. The Third Balloon Aero Squadron, of Nebraska, consisting of five full companies, was on the train enroute from one American camp to an other, on their way to France. The men were greatly pleased with the treatment given them by the local workers, and said that this was the first place where they had been met by Red Cross workers on their way. The workers were principally motor messengers and members of the Home Service Department, working under the leadership of Mrs. Wil liam I. Eaubenstein and Mrs. V. Lome Hummel, captain of the Motor Messengers. Two Stoves Blow Up When Waterbacks Freeze Upton Crampton, 108 Marys alley, thought there was dynamnite in his stove yesterday when it blew up and knocked the front out of his stove. He called the police station on the telephone and told them that, but De tective M urn an e said it was the result of a frozen waterback In the stove, when lie had investigated. No one was hurt. At 626 Calder street a similar acci dent took place with one fatality re ported. The extreme cold weather froze the water box in the kitchen stove of the Graybill home and the entire ntove was blown to pieces when the nre caused It to expand, blowing up the waterbox. The win dows were blown out of the kitchen and the pet cat was so badly injured that Officer Zimmerman, who was de spatched to the scene, had to kill it. Many Vaccinated When Woman Gets Smallpox With the discovery of another case of smallpox last evening city health officials were kept busy for more than two hours vaccinating con tacts. The latest victim is Mrs. Flor ence Fletcher, colored, 122 4 North Seventh street.

Far removed from the stories of unusual adventure that could hap pen to few, comes this gripping drama lof homo life, carrying its message I straight to Hie hearts of many. Wives ■ everywhere have found themselves in | the same predicament as Edith , Frome, the heroine of "Daybreak.'" whose husband, through drink, has In - come dead to all thought of honor. Men everywhere have found them- I selves apparently powerless iu the grip of a habit that robbed them of their true manhood and of all real in terest In life. To these, to their fami lies, friends and acquaintances, the theme found In "Daybreak" will have its appeal. Furthermore, the story of this great human problem and its so lution will interest even those who have never met any such experience in their own lives. Bewitching Peggy Hyland will be starred in a delightful comedy-drama, entitled "Persuasive Peggy," Wednes day and Thursday. Friday and Saturday—-Eva Tan- Stiay, the cyclonic vaudeville star, in "The Wild Girl." Coming soon—Mary Garden in "Thais." Very few musical comedies present ed in New York received such gener ous praise at the hands of "Very the newspaper reviewers as tJond was bestowed 011 "Very Eddie" Good Eddie," and the same was the. case in Philadel phia. Boston and Chicago. That the public agreed with the critics is evi dent from the fact that its run in these three metropolitan cities totaled two entire seasons. As an example of the sort of reference made to this show by the New York press, the Sun said it was "A delight from start to finish." while the Philadelphia Ledger said it was "The gem of all musical comedies of a dozen years." The No. 1 company of "Very Good Eddie" lias been kept almost Intact, as between runs in the metropolitan cities it was brought back to New York for an occasional return engage ment. In fact, it is even now playing j in New York, where it is duplicating I its original success, and it is coming here direct from that city, with all its I Broadway favorites, including: Den man Maley, Georgie Mack, Harry Mey -1 ers, Helen Raymond, Florence Earie, Theodora Wartleld, Lavinia Winn, Harry Linkey, Jean Deßriac, Elaine Kord, Balph O'Brien and the famous swagger fashion chorus. "Very Good Eddie" is said to be in a class by itself, representing an en i tirely new type of musical entertain ment. thoroughly American, thor oughly modern and decidedly different from any other production of its style. Aside from its abundant comedy, pretty girls and novel features, "Very Good Eddie" has the most tuneful music in years, such as "Babes in tile Woods." "On the Beach at Le Let Wi," I "If I Find the Girl," "Some Sort of j Somebody," "Old Boy Neutral" and a I dozen others. | "Very Good Eddie" comes to the Or j pheum to-night. The announcement that Theda Bara I would be shown in the famous world old love story, writ- Thedu Bara ten by Alexandre In "Camille," Dumas, entitled "Ca at the Victoria mille," met with in stant favor through out the entire country, and, in fact, wherever motion pictures are shown. Manager James George, ever alert to I provide his patrons with the very best pictures the markets afford, immedi ately booked "Camille," featuring this noted star, and it will be shown at the popular Victoria Theater to-day and Wednesday at the usual admission of 10 cents and 15 cents to all shows. William Fox, who produced this won derful feature, has spent a fortune in making it, and presents it to tile pub lic as one of the best pictures ever made. The story of "Camille" deals with the life of a lovable adventuress, whose real womanly qualities are brought out under the Influence of her love for Armand Duval, a young French student. The many interest ing scenes and situations depicted are only such as the virile writing of Dumas can reveal. For Thursday and Friday Mine. Olga Petrova will be featured in "The Daughter of Des tiny," and for Saturday Gladys Brock well will be presented in the timely picture, "For Liberty." The specter of one's past—this is the awful ghost that haunts nearly every man In varying de- Drew- gree. This unpleasant i lllington chapter in a frivolous nobleman's life is the dramatic basis of Ptnero's "Gay Lord Quex." Lord Quex has had money and position. Carefree he has tasted all the delights of life—some of the for bidden delights in fact. As to every man, there comes to the gav Quex the one big opportunity for happiness. Palled by the pleasures of the town, he is eager to settle down to staid, serious married life with the beauti ful Muriel Eden. But the unpleasant past emerges to balk him. Muriel Eden has an odd foster-sister, one Sophy Fullgarney. now established In her own manicure shop In Bond, street. Sophy doesn't want Quex to marry Muriel and relies on exposing his un palatable past to destroy him. The action of the play centers on this struggle between Sophy and Quex. Sophy does discover some embarrass ing things about Quex. but discovers more namely that his self-reliant na ture has depths that neither he nor she ever suspected to exist. Sophy puts Quex through purgatorial fires, but she herself does not altogether es cape their chastening effects, and both characters, in whom worldly wisdom has been a too predominant feature, come forth from the test mu tually tolerant and trustful.
