CHARLEY WHITE HAS
NEW TRAINING STUNT
Rigs Up Gymnasium in a Baggage
Car on His Way to New
York City

New York, Dec. 26.-Charley White,
who is hailed in Chicago as the actual
lightweight champion of the world.
added a new training stunt to the an
nails of pugilism yesterday when he
found that the Lake Shore Limited, on
which he was enroute from Chicago to
New York, would be three hours late.
White is to fight Joe Shugrue next
Tuesday night at Madison Square
Garden, and as he is in tip-top shape.
he is doing only light training, but
is very particular about that.
So when he found the train would
be late he went into the baggage car
and arranged with the baggageman to
mt up little travelling gymnasium.
Rigging up some pulleys he set up an
eXerciser and worked at the weights
for half an hour. Then he shadow
boxed in the cramped combines of the
car, with towering trunks on all sides
of him. And then, enlisting a lively
fox terrier, which some traveller was
bringing East, as a sparring partner,
he finished off with some hot rope
work and lodging.
The dog entered into the spirit of
the game and gave White lots of ex-
ercise, after which the fighter and
Nate Lewis, his manager, went back
to their drawingroom, where Trainer
Ike Bernstein gave White a good rub
down. When the train reached New
York, White had just finished dinner
1t was S.22, and Charley said he was
feeling fine"

STATE HOME SITE
HAS BEEN APPROVED
Board of Charities Agrees to the
Location of. Reformatory
For Women Near Muncy

Five hundred acres OF land, two
miles east of Muncy, Lycoming couh,
ty, have been selected as a site for the
proposed State Industrial Home for
Women, a corrective institution for
criminal women between the ages of
16 and 80. The selection was made
by a commission appointed by Gov
ernor Tener, as part Of his general
State charity program and approved
at Philadelphia on Wednesday by the
State Board of Charities.
This site was chosen by the commits
sin after careful survey of IA coun-
ties and in being within 20 miles of
the geographical center of the State,
strictly meets the spirit of the act of
the Legislature. which recommends
the location of the institution as near
the center Of the Commonwealth as
possible.
The tract is in Clinton township, Is
miles from Williamsport and stretches
from the Pennsylvania Railroad back
to Eagle Mountain and from there to
the State Forestry Reserve. OF the
500 acres, approximately 800 acres
are capable of being farmed by the
inmates for the support of the home.
All stone and lumber to be used in
the construction of the buildings is
available on the ground, while there is
a water supply capable of sustaining
1000 persons.
The aim of the Industrial Home is
to prevent young offenders from be-
coming hardened criminals by asso-
citation with old offenders, and the
work of reformation will correspond
to that in the Glen Mills School for
Boys. Care will be taken to segre-
gate the vicious from the innocent by
a classification of the inmates accord
ing to their mental and moral condi-
tions. Each person will receive the
rudiments of an English education
and in such manual training as may
be useful when she is discharged.
The plans and specifications provide
that the buildings shall be construct
ed on the cottage system, each cottage,
or dormitory, to house between 90
and so women. The original appro-
priation was for $4,000 to furnish
room for 200 inmates. This sum, be-
cause of insufficient State revenue,
was cut to $250,000 by Governor
Tener, with the result that the first
units will accommodate only 100 per-
sons.
In the selection of officials, Horace
A. Prumbauer of Philadelphia, was
appointed architect, and John Birk-
inbine, another Philadelphian, was
chosen by hydraulic and sewage dis
posal engineer. Preliminary plans
are being drawn, and it is expected
ground will be broken early in the
Spring.

FIRST II. II. TRAIN DISPATCHER
Is LIVING NEAR CHICAGO

In the compiling of the records for
the physical valuation of the railroads
many interesting discoveries are made.
Some time ago interesting history re-
gardlng the first Pullman car was un-
earthed. The other day the man who
first directed the movement of trains by
telegraph was found alive. His name
is A. ii. Copeland. and he lives out near
Chicago
This veteran railroader,. now on the
retired list. was the first dispatcher. He
was employed by the Chicago and Al.
ton Railroad and for forty years
manipulated the telegraph keys. He is
native OF Vermont and has relatives
in Pennsylvania. In the year 1852 Cope
land was young clerk in the post
office at Middlebnrg and was also the
telegraph operator. In those days trains
were run solely by time card In De-
cember 1862, a heavy snowstorm de-
layed all trains on the Rutland and
Burlington, the mail from Boston be-
Ing held back for many hours. When
the train from the north came in Cope
land told the crew they would have a
long wait at Brandon. the next stop,
from Boston. He then suggested that
the operator at Brandon call Rutland
and ask the crew of the mail to fait
until the southbound train could get
through, thus saving a long delay. 1t
developed. however, that the operator
at Brandon had gone to Burlington.
The train crew then induced Copeland
to ride with them to Brandon and send
the messages.
Upon reaching Brandon Copeland
sent message to Henry Howe, con-
ductor of the train. asking him to
hold his train at Rutland until the ac-
commodation arrived from the south.
signing the name of Conductor Tif-
fany. Conductor Howe replied that he
would do so and the accommodation
proceeded. freight train that follow
ed asked for similar favors, and, after
n.cne trrnr Iaan n
ceeded The movement resulted in
safety and a marked saving in delay.
Copelands work was taken up by Of
ncials and his system followed. Many
changes have been made in the manner
OF dispatching trains, but they all in
clude the Copeland idea.
