12 TUESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 29, 1918. STORM MAKES COAL PROBLEM AGAIN SERIOUS Householders Swoop Down and Raid Delivery Wagon Stalled in Snowdrifts Harrisbursers are being warned by local coal dealers to prepare for a "blue week," when the dealers this morning surveyed the prospects of coal shipments for the rest of the week. Coal shipments, which last week were heavy enough to save the city from acute discomfort, fell oft con siderably over Saturday and Sunday, and dealers say there is every reason to believe that the severe storm of yesterday will bring in its wake a renewal of the coal shortage which was only slightly relieved by last week's shipments. Saturday and Sunday there weie but two cars of anthracite shipped into Hamsburg. Mr. Hickok said. During yesterday's heavy snowfall, six more cars were added to Har risburg's total, making a total ship ment in three days of eight cars. Thirty cars of coal a day are neces sary for the comfort of the city, Oeaiers say. Hit by Storm Owing io the storm yesterday the coal which arrived in the city has not yet been placed in the yards of the dealers, but is still standing on railroad sidings. Dealers say that the supply of coal in the city will not last any length or time, and that immediate shipments are im perative to save the city from a re newal of the experiences of a week ago, when there was decided suf fering all over the city. The deal ers said this morning that they do not look for any immediate ship ments of coal, as the roads have been tied up so much that they can not even locate the cars consigned to them. Dealers have been almost helpless in their efforts to make deliveries since the storm yesterday. Almost every dealer has experienced break downs in his truck and wagon serv ice. and a few of them were put out of business yesterday by the deep drifts. J. H. Gates, of Gates & Co.. reported one of his trucks was on the streets delivering three tons of coal to customers up town when it broke down in the heavy drifts, and the driver had to phone to the office for relief. While he was waiting for help residents of the neighborhood got wind of the presence of the coal laden "truck and petitioned the driver to sell it to them. Help Themselves The crowd collected in spite of the refusal of the driver \o sell the cedl, and before he knew it they were swarming over the truck with bushel baskets, coal scuttles and sleds, taking the coal 111 bushel lots and paying the helpless driver as they gleefully hurried away with their treasure. This episode hap pened at Sixth and Dauphin streets. Thirty families suffering from the i'oal shortage were relieved by the fuel commission yesterday, it was reported at the Chamber of Com merce office. These cases were re ported by police and by the fuel • ommission investigator to be ur u-nt, as the families were all afflict ed with sickness and were entirely v ithout coal. Eighty calls were re ei>cil from people without as much :is a half a ton of coal. Two Dealers Refuse The fuel commission investigator tV.is morning said that only two • osiers have refused to co-operate v.ith the fuel administrator and the o'; e department to furnish coal to ' rgent cases in the city. All the rest of the dealers have given the fuel • ommission orders preference, it was said at the Chamber of Commerce office this morning. It is reported that the Mayor will proceed against the dealers who refuse to co-operate a'ld confiscate their coal. The Mayor issued a proclamation to that effect last night. The proclamation fol lows: "Centlemen: "Through information furnished me by thcrfuel agent for the Cham ber of Commerce, the city police de partment. and from my own per sonal knowledge, it is evident that several coal dealers are r.ot assisting in relieving the suffering among citizens which has resulted from the <-oal shortage. The families in which there is suffering or illness, or where there are aged people or very young children, must be provided with fuel, and I request that you give immediate attention to the emer gency cases which are reported to you by the fuel agent, making such deliveries prior to those for your regular customers. Requests for coal will be made to you only in propor tion to the amount of coal received by each dealer and each one should bear his share of this emergency work. Unless such action is taken by the dealers, I. as Mayor of tho city, will take whatever steps may be required to prevent suffering on the part of any citizen. (Signed) "DANIEL L. KEISTER.

The passenger train arriv ing in this city front Harrisburg at 7.40 a. m. and running several hours late was flagged in the nick of time.] Petween Greensburg and HagWs-l ! town. fifty-live broken rails were, | found. The incident is considered; the most unique and remarkable in railroad history in this section.. The discovery of the broken rails! [ started at a point near Greencastle where the trackwalker found the I | tirst broken rail. Within the nexti five minutes ten more cracked rails were discovered, and an investiga tion was stadted over the entire section between Greencastle and place. A track of broken steel was: discovered. Broken Flnnjrc CaurfßS Trouble The trackwalker at once notified the railroad officials and the pas senger train crews were told of the trouble at t'hanibersburg. The train, was returned by branch routes toi this city. Supervisors with large track forces arrived soon after 11 o'clock and began repairs. It is believed the rails were broken : by a freight train, which left this city for Harrisburg some time dur ing Sunday. It was found later, it is stated, that a broken flange on a car j wheel allowed a 50.000-pound pres-; sure to strike the rails with force to break them. ! The cold weather is also believed to have contributed to the rails j breaking so easily. Traffic was de-, layed while the broken rails were being replaced with new steel rails Railroad Notes Women's War Relief Division, will mret for sewing: purposes to-mor row at th* Paper school building:.

Mr. Dutch, who was formerly man ager of the Pittsburgh branch, is a man of wide experience in the tire business and is thoroughly acquaint ed with Firestone policies. It is his intention to put Harrisburg branch on a par with the larger Firestone branches in the United States. He ccmes pledging the full measure of fairness and co-operation that have always characterized Firestone deal ings. Just twenty months ago the Fire stone Tire and Rubber Company saw the necessity of placing a branch in Harrisburg in order that the host r.f Firestone users in its territory could receive the attention and serv ice which has made the name Fire stone faniouH. Tho branch commenced business at 1S Market street, in a small store which would not accommodate a stock pt tires and accessories any larger than a regular dealer of tires and only two employes. Such a flying start was made that in one month the small organization had outgrown its quarters and was compelled to seek other accommodations. A move was made to largrer prem ises at . 231 North Second street, w here the employes were increased to six. Just one year in that location proved its inadequacy to take care of the'ever-increasinjf demand for Fire stone products and Firestone serv ice, with the result that in May. 1917. the company was again com pelled to seek more space. The branch was then transferred to the present location at 210 North Sec ond street, with over 11,000 square feet of floor space and nineteen em ployes. This brief outline proves the ever-increasinc demand for Fire stones and the desire of the company to at all times have the branch equipped to properly take care of its patrons. With the betterment of service conditions in view, the home office has recently appointed Mr. Dutch as branch manager. to succeed Mr." Me- Clintock, who has been .transferred to another field of service! In an interview Mr. Dutch stated that it is his earnest desire to be come personally acquainted with every one in the Harrisburg branch jurisdiction and extends a hearty in vitation to all to drop in and meet him rather than wait until he can get around to call on them. SELL THE WHEAT, URGES MR.PATTON ! Says That Farmers Can Not Get More For It Than at Present and Should Sell Farmers of Pennsylvania were to day called upon by Secretary of Ag riculture Patton to sell wheat from the 1917 crop in their hands and not needed for seed purposes as a mat ter of patriotism. Mr. Patton esti ?rates that over one-fourth of the wheat raised last year is In the hands of the farmers. "The Public Safety Committee has called attention to the need of wheat. A shortage exists and I hope the farmers of Pennsylvania will sell now," said the Secretary. "The price is fixed at $2.20 so that nothing can be gained by holding it any longer. No one can get a cent more by hold ing it a montm or two months. This is a time when the wheat is needed and I trust that the farmers of the state will show their patriotism by placing their wheat at disposal of buyers."

(AMusecoenTs SENSATIONAL ACT AT THE MAJESTIC Wire-Balancing Feats Arc Fine; Comedy Skit Starts Laughter Holiday crowds agai nfllled the Majestic Theater on the second of the fuel administration's lieatless Monday's. The list for the tirst half of the week includes a sensational wire balancing act which is about the best on the progrdm, but is not appreciated as it should be. The Helen Leach Wallin Trio give the wire feats, two of them hold ing the wire while the third per forms on it. It is one of the best exhibitions of its kind presented in this city. McLoughlin and West have a breezy song and comedy pat ter offering which seemed to please. They got several recalls but gave no encore Their dance numbers are fine. "The Petticoat Man" with Wal- I ter Baldwin, Jr., and Geraldine lllair is a light, riotous skit which kept the audience shouting with j laughter. The skit is so ridiculous that no one but a lite-long pessimist could help but smile at some ot the fcolishness, Nainoa, who is billed to give an instrumental and vocal program, had not reached the city at a late hour yesterday, so the management persuaded one of the leading women in "Tht New Model" to give several song and dance num bers. The substitution was a good one and the entertainer was given an appreciative reception. "The New Model." a farce by a company of six with special set ! tings, is devoted to a display of lin gerie and gowns which pleased to a certain extent. The comedian might be more successful as a laugh pro ducer if he would do less jumping about and spring a few jokes of the 1918 variety. "Birth of a Nation 7 ' at Popular Prices "The Birth of a Nation," which is said to have played to larger audi ences of theatergoers than any other stage production during the history of the spoken or silent drama, is to be presented at the Colonial Theater next Monday. Wednesday and Thurs day at bargain prices. While the play has been given in Harrisburg on three different occasions in the past, the ' price has never been lower than the 12 scale. Next week the prices will j be 23 cents for the balcony, and 35 1 cents for the orchestra tloor, with no I seats reserved except the boxes and j loges which will sell for 50 cents. The show will run continuously from 10 a. m. to 11 p. m., and the policy regarding seats will be first come, first served, except in the case of the few seats that will be sold in advance. These will be held all afternoon or all evening for the purchasers. The advance sale of box and loge seats will begin to-morrow forenoon. No telephone orders will be taken, although a special telephone has been installed to give information to per sons who desire to make inquiries about the presentation of the big Griffith's play. "The Birth of a Nation" as a mov ing picture theater attraction at prices such as the Colonial has fixed upon, marks a new epoch for the movie theater. It began a run at these prices in Philadelphia last week, and the first night between 5,- OUO and G,OOO persons witnessed it. With six performances a day during its three days' run in Harrisburg, the Colonial can accommodate in the neighborhood of 25,000 persons. D, W. Griffith's wonderful produc tion. "The Birth of a Nation," has turned the theater records of America topsy-turvy. It is a story of Ameri can history showing the rise and fall of slavery in this country and the terrible suffering that was endured before a solution of this problem was reached.

Every act on the To-morrow bill was enjoyed, judg ing from the applause given each number. The headliner is "The New Model," a miniature musi cal comedy offering. It is, in realty, a fashion show worked out along the lines mentioned above, and affords splendid entertainment. Attractive models promenade about the stage, displaying smart toggery and elicit ing many "ahs" and "ohs" from the audience, especially the feminine por tion. Comedy, singing and dancing are also features of the act. A popu lar comedy number on the bill is a sketch entitled "The Petticoat Man " presented by Baldwin-Blair and Company. Scarcely is "there a line spoken that does not bring forth a laugh, and the work of the players is fine. The remainder of the bill is as follows: Nainoa, presentinpr a very pleasing vocal and instrumental musical offer ing; McLoughlin and West, clcyer duo in a comedy song and patter skit, and the Trio, in a comedy acrobatic novelty.

William Farnum delighted great crowds at the Victoria yesterday and last evening by William Ktirnum his wonderful In "When ii acting in the Mnn Seen lied" powerful drama. "When n Man Sees lied," a picturization of the famous story of Larry Evans, which recently appeared in The Saturday Evening Post. After seeing this great film, a noted motion picture authority says: "After a man has viewed "When a Man Sees lied,' he finds that his fingernails have gripped the arms of the chair, and that his forehead is moist with the tenseness of the scenes. It is the kind of picture that words cannot adequately described. One must see this wonderful picturi zation of a strong man's emotions. 1 have seen William Farnum in some great pictures, but 'When a Man Sees Red' is greater than any. 1 can ap preciate its exactness of detail. Once I was a sailor and never have I seen on the screen such remarkable repro ductions of sailor life and atmos phere. The shipwreck is wonderful. I don't believe there ever was a picture made with such a tight between two humans." "When a Man Sees Red" will ge shown again to-morrow. Thea ter closed to-day.

Among those most promi nent in the company are: Ira Busatt, Jacob Hochstein, Adolph L.iansoki, Mme. Eianski, Goldstein, Nel lie Kassman, Joe Freidlender and Sam Packer. Seats now on sale. Halton Powell's "Henpecked Henry," one of the famous cartoon musical farces ever "Henpecked produced on the Ameri- Henry" can stage, is to be the attraction at the Or pheum. next Monday and Wednesday, with daily matinees. 'Henpecked Henry" interprets the troubles of a married man whose principal effort in life is to sidestep troubles with his wife. The play is most laughable, and to add to its charm it is presented by an especially fine company, including a singing and dancing chorus. Com ment and criticism that have preced ed the show are of a most favorable nature. It is often dangerous to let old love letters lie around loose where some body is likely to Dorothy Unlton In get them. Some "Love Letters" people do, and it , often proves a great mistake. Eileen Harland did, and then the man to whom she had thoughtlessly written them, when she was a slip of a girl, turned out to be a deep-dyed villain, and to save her reputation EileeTi goes to his rooms to get the letters. Needless to say, he won't give them to her. Eileen leaves, and the next morning the murdered body of the man is' found. Eileen's, husband is the prosecuting attorney, and he is sure there was a woman mixed up in the case. That is the part Dorothy Dalton plays in "Love letters" which will be shown foi the last times at the Regent Theater to morrow. Francis X. Bushman, who is co starred with Beverly Bayne in Metro pictures, is a typical Southern gentle man. His home is at Bushmanor, a large private estate near Baltimore. Md., and between pictures he return" home to enjoy domestic life. His true Southern hospitality is known far and wide, and he has many visitors to his spacious estate. It is estimated that 28,000 cubic yards of earth were removed in dig ging trenches in the San Fernando Valley in California, which were used for scenes in "The legion of E?eath," a Metro, starring Edith Storey. A force of 100 laborers were engaged in trans forming the peaceful valley into one of Europes bloodiest battlefields. Tod Browning directed this timely picture, which is a screen romance with the recent revolution and succeeding events as a setting.

C "GAY LORD QUEX" IS WELL PLAYED John Drew and Margar I 111- ington Welcomed by Orpheum Audience The appearance of John Drew and Miss Margaret lllinKton in one of Pinero's best comedies, "The Gay 1-ord Quex," oiil# meant another ex pression of appreciation from a crowded house, for such was the re ception accorded these two stars at the Orpheum. Both are known to many theatergoers and their appear ance brought an outburst of ap plause. Others who had not seen them before sat through the four act play fascinated by the art of the entertainers. There is nothing to find fault about in a Pinero comedy. Kew will attempt to criticise John Drew or Miss llling ton, with the result that there is only one other recourse, and that is to tell of the pleasant hours spent watching them and listening to them. At the iHose of each act both were recalled before the curtain was finally low ered. Drew, as Quex, an English lord who reforms in order to marry the girl he loves, tinds he has a se rious problem to remove an obstacle in his path. Miss Illington. as Sophy Kullgarney manicurist and foster-sis ter of the bride-to-be, is the one who is in his way. While the part Miss Illington plays is not one of the most, enjoyable, it offers her the opportu nity not only to display her marvel ous capability- but also to attract the attention of everyone to Lord Quex. The tirst act serves as an intro ductory in which most of the cast appear: the second act is one mostly of coinedv; the third, sensation when Miss Sophy finds 1..0 rd Quex in the boudoir of an old sweetheart; while the last act brings a happy ending for all. Supporting the two leading char acters are George Pauncefort, as Sir I'hicester Krayne, a friend of Lord Quex; Leonard Willey as Captain Hastling, in love with Muriel Eden, played by Ottala Nesmith, who is to marry "His Lordship;" Rexford Kendrick, as "Valma," a palmist and engaged to Sophy; Irby Marshall, taking the part of the Duchess ot' Strood, a romantic sweetheart of Lprd Quex. and Heleen Beaumont, las Julia.
