use of their heating devices, to elim
inate as much as possible all waste.
Defective furnaces, stove and grates
cause the loss of much coal. The
conservation committee will attempt
to overcome this propensity.
Mr. Hiekok's first advice to the
householders is to buy bituminous
coal, bricquets, or wood. All three
of these, he said, can be purchased
now. He declared that he advises the
purchase of these supplies as a safety
measure, retaining the hope that
enough coal will be received to see
the people through the worst of the
winter if they use proper conserva
tion measures. He said that when
cold weather comes, bringing snow
and ice, and It Is difficult to gpt
coal into the houses, a supply of
these three commodities as a safety
measure will be invaluable.
As another conservation measure,
he urges that heat be cut off from all
rooms that are not used.
It was announced that Harris
hurg's allotment is 130,000 tons, and
the people have ordered 173,000 tons.
By means of last year's cards, and
hy personal inspections, the orders
will be cut down so that houses are
not supplied more than they actually
need. The fuel administration uses
a regular formula which determines
the amount of coal necessary to heat
a house of any proportions. Within
a few days cards will be mailed to
householders informing them of the
amount their orders have been cut.
If the householder considers the cut
too great, the fuel administration
will send an inspector to his house to
make an investigation of the actual
needs.
Half of the coal whicn comes Into
the city is Lykens Valley coal, it was
said. The remainder conies from the
Reading coal regions.

Trustee Named to Handle
Estate of Bretz Brothers
In bankruptcy proceedings Thomas
C. McCarrell was elected late yester
day afternoon trustee of the estates
ot Bret/. Brothers. Harry M., Charles
E. and William Bretz. by creditors
of the partnership and the individuals.
The proceedings were held before
Referee in Bankruptcy John T. Olm
sted in the Federal court room in
the Post Office building.
Bonds totalling* $.47,500 will be fur
nished by Mr. McCarrell. A bond of
SIO,OOO has been required on the
estate of the hardware tlrin, $25,000
on that of Harry M. Bretz, SIO,OOO on
that of Charles E. Bretz. and $2,500
on that of William Bretz. ,
While the examination of the bank
rupts was postponed until some fu
ture time, a short examination of
Harry M. Bretz revealed the fact that
he had "overlooked" items in which
he is responsible to the extent, of sb,-
187.12 in compiling the statement of
bis liabilities. Bretz says he may
have stock to cover these obligations,
but is not sure.
He is liable 1.0 the extent of $6,000
on a SIO,OOO note of which he is a
joint-maker. This is held by the
People's Bank, of Steelton. A claim
of $187.12 held by the City of llar
risburg was also overlooked. Bretz
had tendered a check of that amount
in payment of a paving lien, but this
was returned because of the lack of
sufficient funds.

TO ' '
Pauline Frederick's many admirers
I will have an opportunity of seeing
their famous cinema star in one of
the greatest pictures the Paramount
i Studios have released for some time.
| This is Sardou's celebrated "Fedora,"
i and will he shown at the Regent
Theater to-morrow and Thursday.
Miss Frederick appears as Princess
Fedora, a Russian woman of wealth
and beauty. She Is betrothed to
Count Vladimir who is slain by Loris
Ipanoff when the latter discovers a
love intrigue between Vladimir and
Mine. Ipanoff. Fedora swears ven
geance upon Ipanoff and follows him
to Paris. There she linds out the
truth and realizes that Vladimir has
been justifiably slain and that she
j loves Ipanoff. She had previously
j caused the arrest of Ipanoff s brother,
| and after she weds Ipanofl' this broth
er is drowned in his dungeon, a
castroplie which kills the mother of
the brothers. Ipanoff now swears
vengeance on the woman who is re
sponsible for the death of his brother
and when he learns that, it is his
wife he tries to strangle her. She
eludes him and swallowing some
poison dies at his feet just as the
police agent who was to identify her
as the woman in the case, enters the
room.

set aside, but his real manhood as
serts, itself once more and one of the

room and declares that everything has
been a frame-up. "Just a Woman"

ening" will be the attraction. _
King Kelly made his first balloon
ascension and parachute drop of the
week at Paxtang Park.
I'nxtiing last evening. After an
Park absence of three years,
Tlicnter Kelly is as big a park
favorite as ever. cxing
before the fires were lighted in the
pits a large crowd had collected
about the rope enclosure. By the time
the balloon was half filled and the
man on the inside was yelling "More
heat," "Good heat," etfc., a couple of
thousand people were on hand for the
initial ascension. When the big bal
loon left the ground and soared up
ward, Kelly waved a farewell to a
perfect sea of upturned faces. The
balloon king was still the big attrac
tion. Kelly rode his balloon to an al
titude of about a half mile, and then
cut loose with the parachute—a
straight drop of about 400 feet a sec
ond, breathless excitement for the
gusping crowd, the parachute opened
and the aeronaut made a graceful de
scent to Mother Earth. Kelly will
make an ascension every afternoon
and evening during his stay at the
park.
The bill at the park theater this
week makes a most interesting per

in an act called "The Children of
Confucius." Tlie first part of this
novel offering consists of songs in
Chinese and English, set off by color
ful Oriental settings and costumes,
but this, while good, sinks into insig
nificance when, with practically a
whole stage, they give a Chinese con
ception of American dances. With
another striking background they
give a series of dances a la mode,
which would rival some exhibitions
of similar kind by persons with
American conceptions. Each number
outstyles its predecessor in thrill and
abandon, and the finale is a wonder.
The other acts on the park bill ale
all high-class material.
