NO GENERAL CUT
OF TRAIN SERVICE

CHICAGO, Nov. 1o.-There will be
no drastic general curtailment of
train services in the United States at
the present time. despite the serious
ness OF the coal problem. This an
nouncement was made at the conclu-
sion OF a meeting attended by Direc-
tor General of Railroads walker ID.
Hines, and seven regional directors of
tho railroad administration.
Mr.. Hines. after hearing reports
from the regional directors, was of
the opinion there was sufficient coal
to run the railroads on a virtually
normal basis for twenty-five o. thirty
days, and that production of hitumi-
nous coal was being increased daily.
Reports made by the regional di-
rectors showed that some districts are
in much better condition than others.
r II. Ashton. director of tbs North
western region. in which 1o6 passen-
ger trains have been suspended, re-
ported that the situation in his juris-
diction was serious.

SECRETARIES LOSE
VACATION MILEAGE
Congress Prepares to Adjourn
Without Granting Extra
Pay to Employees.

The high cost OF travel and the low
pay of politics is going to keen sew
eral hundred secretaries to Senator s
and Congressmen in Washington dur-
ing the recess until the short session
begins next month.
There was a distinct feeling OF un-
rest in the Capitol and Senate ana
House office buildings today, as tie
House prepared to adjourn without
giving secretaries and committee
CLERKS an extra month 5 pay.
During the former Republican
regime, it was customary TO give the
extra months pay. since the cler.i
and secretary do not set the 10 cents
a mile as mileage that goes TO Scna-
tors and Congressman.
The mileage that will go to mcI1-
bers OF Congress during the next few
weeks will amount to about S1I5,OOo.
This is a hard blow to the clerks
and secretaries" one old clerk sam
today. I'VE were rejoicing over the
return of a Republican majority, ana
what have they done? They have
merely taken up the pace set by the
Democrats who abolished the extra
months pay that formerly went to
the clerks just before adjournment.
Some OF the clerks will scrape to-
gether sufficient funds TO. make a
trip back home. Those who have their
families here will, for the most part,
remain in Washington.

PHILA. ORCHESTRA
GETS BIG OVATION
Beethoven Message in Sym
phony Pleases Record Audi
ence at National Theater.

The Philadelphia orchestrs, Leo,
pold stokowski, conductor, gave
Beethoven message in symphony that
seemed like a great epic in tone to
heroism, in the opening concert Of
the regular series by this orchestra
at the National Theater yesterday
afternoon. And at the close Of the
filled the orchestra pit, with many
standing, brought the orchestra to its
feet in response to q spontaneous
burst OF applause.
Nine. Margaret Maltzenauer, con-
tralto Of the Metropolitan Opera, gave
the highest form OF her great art in
the entire scene, in concert form,
from Tschaikowsky's opera "Eugen
Onegin." sung in its original Russian.
Here her voice took on orchestral
tones in harmony with the rich or
chestral score than Mr.. Stokowski
handled with such perfect sympathy
The music and the language were
both so vocal, SO filled with the
speaking eloQuence OF Tschaikowsky's
soaring phrases. Then the Russian
spirit, with its dance rhythm suave
and alluring. permeated it through
scene that Nine Matzenauer ex-
pressed in exquisite voice, from its
lightest mood to its Incompatible
climax such as only Tschaikowsky
writes.
German Clnssics.
A group of German classics, in song,
given in English, brought back
Brahms, Schumann and Schubert.
They were orchestrated by Mr.. Sto-
kowski most richly and effectively,
although the Brahms slumber song
missed the insistant sway in Brahms
unmistakable rhythm. Two Brides
Songs" OF Schumann were given with
great tenderness, but Mime. Matzen-
auer even in her forceful rendition OF
the Schubert "Erlliing" was too over
dramatic in gesture which detracted
from her great voice appeal. Then.
too, English misses the right accent
in these intimate songs even with
good translations. Word and tone are
SO closely related that the loss OF one
weakens the other.
over the great tone hymn that is
Beethoven's nth symphony-the great
symphony OF Fate-Mr. Stokowski
put transcendantly lovely spiritual
quality OF higher things than mortal
pains ana passions. Relentless was
this fate, heroic with the heroism
that today we are so near, it yet held
a feeling OF comfort, of reward for
valor told in tender pastoral phrases
OF exquisite wind Instruments
Deep and stirring
II was not the purely clear-cut
Beethoven, at times passion overran
the pure music line, but ever was
there the towering message, implac-
able. triumphant, OF the hero who
has fought. and has found fair places
in his Elysian fields. Mr.. Stokowski' s
own impress was deep and stirring,
and he found unfailing response in
his great body Of players.
Weber's always delightful 'Frei-
schutk" overture opened the concert,
and Debussy's Afternoon OF the
Faun" completed the orchestral pro-
gram. 1t was given with rather more
OF atmosphere and depths than with
that light, idiomatic and bewildering
touch of the intangible that sets this
nature music OF gods and the mead :

pected, come into the programs of

PLAYERS ARE IN SHAPE
BY SPICk HALL

WEST VIRG1NIA's Tiger hungry
w squad of footbalers arrived in
Philadelphia this morning. They were
scheduled to take their final workout
for tomorrow's tilt with Princeton on
Franklin Field this afternoon by special
invitation Of the Penn team, which was
booked to do its finishing for Penn
State at Haverford.
The West Virginians had their last
hard tussel yesterday afternoon on the
home turf at Morgantown. The team
is not in the best of shape, according to
rumor. but. of course, this is old stuff.
An eleven these days is always on the
verge of physica! collapse Just before
the big game. The star performers are
crippled and general depression radiates
| from the gridirons camps.
Strong Eleven
But when the whistle blows for the
opening kick off. in Palmer Stadium up
| at Princeton tomorrow, West Virginia
will have a powerful aggregation in the
| field against the Orange and Black.
Princeton again has been working all
| week behind barred gates, but it is
known that there has been lot of i'm
provement even over the good form they
urday. All that the Tigers want to-
morrow is to get the decision over West
Virginia. They are not attempting to
rival Pennsylvania in piling up record
count. Their object is to beat Harvard
and Yale. Other things don't count.
With this end in view it is likely that
Coach Roper will use a lot of second
string material against West Virginia
to save his big offensive and defensive
cogs for the Crimson and the Blue.
Roper gave the Tiger varsity heavy
DAYS work, but the usual scrimmage
was lacking from the afternoon pro-
cedure.
After long signal drill the varsity
and the scrubs lined up for kicking
practice. Wittmer punted for the var
] sity and Joe Scheerer handled the
leather for the scrubs. Scheerer's punt
ing was an agreeable surprise to the
coaches. He displayed the best spirals
seen at Princeton this fall and out
hunted Wittmer on every exchange, al
though the varsity fullback was not
below his usual form.
|. Trevor Hogg, captain and star of the
1915 team, arrived and instructed the
guards and tackles in the practice.
Inside Stuff
Here is what man in close touch
with West Virginia has to say of to-
morrow's game:
what will West Virginia do against
Princeton? This is the query on every
tongue at Morgantown, but nobody, not
even Coach McIntire, has satisfactory
answer. The result of the Pitt game
when everybody felt so cocksure that at
least a great showing would be made, is
the thing that deters everybody from
answering. Pitt beat a mountaineer
team that had been in training almost

eve of the Pitt game were in the best
shape, physically and mentally. that
any West Virginia eleven has ever been
for a big game. Yet Pitt won 20 to 0
in a game in which Pitt, of course,
played great football, but in which the
big feature was the poor playing of
the mountaineers.
Coach Saw Tigers
EVERY follower of the West Virginia
team believes it is n great eleven. They
believe that fact is going to be demon
strated at some time during the present
season, and many think that the Prince
ton game will be the occasion for the
demonstration. But the majority of
people, including Coach McIntire, be-
lieve that Princeton has decided edge
for Saturday. West Virginia has had
two easy games, while Princeton, just
emerging from the Colgate encounter,
will be real Tiger.
