THEATRES BUSY IN DRIVE
Actors Here viii Play Active Role
for Loan

Leonard Blumberg. general manager
for the Messrs. Shubcrt. of the Lyric.
Adelphia, Sam s. Shubert theatre and
the Chestnut Street Opera House; J..
Fred Zimmerman, ST., Thomas NJ.
Love, general manager Of the Forrest.
Garrick and Broad Street theatres, and
Harry Jordan, manager Of Keith's The
atre, have issued joint announcement
that plans for the Victory Loan cam
paign in the theatres of this city have
been completed
1t is estimated that more than 200, =
900 persons will visit the leading the =
atres of the city during the period that
the loan campaign is being conducted.
It is the determination of the theatrical
Victory Loan workers to obtain the
subscriptions of at least 80 per cent of
that number. The amount of subscrip
tions in dollars and cents which it is
hoped to obtain has not been announced,
but it is known that it runs into several
millions of dollars.
The leading theatrical stars of the
country-both men and women-who
will be playing at the various Philadel
phia theatres during the campaign are
being depended on to carry out the
major portion of the plans arranged by
the managers.
Some of the most noted stage folk in
the country are billed for this city dur
ing the three weekssof the loan cam
paign, and already the majority "oi
them have been informed of the part
they will be asked to take, and are re.
hearsing for the work.

TRAIL OF BAD CHECKS TAKE
YOUTH FROM JAIL TO JAIL
Rum Did A Means Son of St. Louis Contractor, Arrested
Leaving Washington Prison Charges Here

Jail terms have not robbed him of the
atmosphere of refinement. 1t was this
asset which enabled him to pass the
check on Mr.. Harris, of the Franklin
Bank. Fry posed as nephew of Myron
T. Herrick, former governor of Ohio.
His manner was most convincing and
he had little difficulty, it is said, in
getting the necessary cash.
. Before serving several months i'm
prsonment in Washington, Fry served
n year in Blackwell Island for passing
bad check in New York. AS he was
leaving Blackwell's. there too was de-
tective waiting. A tleeting liberty, as he
rode from New York to Washington,
was all he enjoyed at that time.
Fry doesn't know how long he will
have to serve here. but he has little
hope for clemency. Even when his sen
tcnce is completed, no matter how long
it may be. the ends of justice will not
have been met.
Since Fry's imprisonment in Black
well several had checks turned up in
Chicago. About the same time still
more checks were discovered in Wash
ington and Philadelphia. They were
traced to Fry. Washington managed
to get first claim on Fry and this city
came next.
When he steps from the Eastern
Penitentiary here, instead of being vel
coined into the world. he will agair
see the lurking form of sleuth nearb,
to take him to Chicago. And afte
Chicago-well Fry doesn't know, Ant
rum did it all-he said.

PROMPT STOP SAVES
MANY FROM DANGER
Reading Shore Express Threat
ened by Broken Con.
Meeting Rod

Twelve crowded carloads of passcn-
gers on the Reading express which left
Atlantic City at o'clock yesterday
afternoon for Camden> had an escape
from what might have been serious
wreck. The connecting rod from the
piston to the driving wheels on the right
side of the engine broke as the train
had passed West Collingswood, and
broken pieces went flying into the road
bed. Some of the pieces weighed fifty
pounds and were sunk into the ballast
to depth of ten to twelve inches.
The engineer noticed the break as
soon as it occurred and brought the
train to a stop in about 100 feet. The
mishap resulted only in disabling the
engine and delaying the train half an
hour. The passengers knew from the
sudden jar attending the quick applica
ton Of the airbrakes something was
wrong. Even in the last car the jar
sent the passengers forward with a
lurch against the seats ahead.
The train makes no stops between
Atlantic City and Camden and speeds

an hour If the break occurred at that
speed the possibility Of serious wreck
was imminent, but the train was get
ting close to the Camden yard and the
speed was slackened to less than thirty
miles an hour.
An extra engine was sent to the
train. but it took nearly half an hour to
get the rest Of the broken rod discon
nected. The broken part remaining was
hanging but few inches off the ground
when the train was stopped.
