MOVIES SLEND VALIANT
AID IN PAPER SAVING
Many Tons Obtained Through
Their Efforts in Behalf of
Red Cross Charity

Three of the four movng-picture houses
managed by 9. Stamper have helped with
the collection of waste paper for the Red
Cross through the plan of giving admission
tickets to all children bringing bundles Of
paper to the theatre. At the Coliseum,
5915 Market street, nearly ton of paper
was delivered by children eager to get one
of the coveted tickets.
The paper at this place was collected by
the Philadelphia Garford Company, 230S
Chestnut street the Philadelphia sales or
ganization handling the Garford truck, in
one of its big trucks. The big truck was
piled full. There was nearly ton OF paper
at this location.
The Frankford, located at Frankford
avenue and Margaretta street, collected
more than half a ton of paper in the same
manner The Cedar, the third of the houses,
will have it's collection next Saturday after
noon.
The final collection of paper for the Red
Cross was held on Saturday afternoon. II
has been necessary to drop the collections
for the present owing to the immense drop
in the price of waste paper The price had
gone so low that it is impossible to con-
slider the collections justified, even where
the work and hauling is done gratis by
truck companies and firms owning trucks
and automobiles. Every one is advised not
TO save paper for the Red Cross from now
until further notice. II may be possible to
revive the campaign next fall II the price
Of paper rises sufficiently.

der the wheels Of a trolley car and was
crushed to death Kane quickly obtained
reinforcements In the shape of many
friends armed with beer bottles. They at
tackled Mclaughlin and Ford. when the

POLICEMAN NEAR DEATH
AFTER FALL OFF HORSE
Mounted Cop Found Unconscious
After Being Dragged by
Frightened Steed

Cuts on the scalp, bruises on the body
and badly torn clothing indicated that John
Trotter. n mounted policeman Of the Ia
cony station, had been dragged for hours
by his horse when he was found uncon-
scious early today at Enorr and Edwards
streets. He 10 n a serious condition at
the Frankford spital
i-1tter was : md by ]. +. McKeunn
anota,r mounted cop, who had come to re-
lieve him. For many rods over the high
way there were signs showing that "A body
had been dragged. Trotter's clothing was
reduced to ribbons his face. arms and
hands were covered with blood and dirt
and blood flowed from many wounds
Trotters horse stood patiently beside the
body while the pOliceman's right foot was
still entangled in one of the stirrups The
theory of the police is that Trotter lost his
balance and pitched over sideways The
horse became frightened and ran until the
policeman became unconscious by contn-
uous humping of his head against the
ground. Trotter is still unconscious at the
Frankford Hospital and physicians there
fear he has a fractured skull and internal
injuries.
