MUCH INTEREST IN
 PROBE AT SHELTON
Can Of Gasoline On Front of Trolley Will Be Important Item In
 Phelan Investigation.

Shelton, Feb. 24.-The attention Of citizens here and more especially of those who had relatives or friends in the trolley car wreck of Tuesday was directed today to the opening of the inquest by Coroner John J. Phel- an at Bridgeport. It was their ex- pectation that some definite explana- tion of the reason for the wreck would be brought out. It was also believed that all doubts as to the ownership of tho five gallon can of gasoline which was on the front plat form of the Bridgeport bound car would be determined and some req son advanced why the crew permitted 1t to be carried on the car.
 The owner of the gasoline. the po- lice have stated, was Stephen T. Pal mcr. town clerk and judge of probate who was on the car going to his home which is a short distance south of the scene of the wreck.
 The morning report from the Grif- fin hospital at Derby was to the effect that the condition of the II wreck patients there was practically un- changed over night. Mrs. Wilkinson. who is in a critical condition from fla cial burns had fairly good night. Henry Ballough remains in extremely serious state. Mrs. Fred Homers re- mains about the same.
 These three patients are those for whom anxiety is held. The other eight patients are not on the danger ous list.
 The body of man is yet to be identified. The opinion is that he was of foreign birth, probably a Russian. The woman's body was identified last night as that of Mrs. Ida Upscher of Bridgeport.

MAID TO LOVE" HAS
 A RADIANT CHORUS.

At first glance it seems absurd, but any metropolitan stage director will emphatically affirm that it is far cas- fer to complete the cast of principals for an important musical production however largo the cast may be--than 1t is to obtain. a suitable number of choyus girls of acceptable presence and thespic schooling. A high stand
 ard of beauty is demanded by the public; ability to sing, dance and do a great many other things besides looking pretty is demanded by the directors. Another obstacle is the un- willingness of many of the prettiest and best trained girls to Ego on the road.' Inasmuch as Maid to Love" is not organized flor the road," but for the Times Square Theater, New York, where it begins an engagement next Monday evening. the producers had no difficulty in securing for their attraction the pick of Broadway's S beauty contingent, and it is confident ly expected that this chorus of extra ordinary physical loveliness and grace, each girl possessing the ability to sing and dance. blessed though she is with more than a little of pulchri- tude, will be @ pleasing as we'll as dis tinctive feature of the entertainment. This attraction comes to the Parsons Theater for three nights, beginning Thursday, March 10th with a mati- nee Saturday. Seat sale open Tuesday.

SIX REELS OF GRINS.
 FOUR GOOD ACTS, FOX'S

The opinion of those who saw Charlie Chaplin in "The Kid' at FoN's last night say without hesitation that it is the greatest picture in which he ever appeared. It will be shown the first half of this week in connection with four acts of vaudeville, the Fox News a Chester Outing Trayelogue, a short comedy reel and the latest episode of the serial Fantomas. The Kid' suits every audience. It mingles every emotion. There are laughs, sighs, perhaps a tear of two, but throughout it all the element of mirth reigns supreme. It deals with the life of a tiny waif who falls into the hands of a lovable hobo. Five years later the hobo and his tiny pal are still tramping. One especially fun ny part is where the kid runs ahead and throws stones through windows, while Charlie, working as a glazier, calmly comes along and gets work re- pairing them.
 The vaudeville bill features two specialties One is the Case Mitchell company, a musical trio, both vocal and instrumental; and Sandy Mac Kay. Obviously, Sandy is breezy Scotchman and injects a little pep into the show by bringing in ten minutes worth of Scotch" Another act is Mondi, who does things with an accordion, and the bill is rounded out by Kline and Hutchins in a dialogue act.
 For Thursday. Friday and Satur- day Fox's offers a real ''big time" treat in Madga Dahl, well known Swedish opera singer. and Francesca Colasanto musical director, with his 15 piece band.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN BIG
 HIT AT PALACE.

Charlie Chaplin broke all records for attendance at the Palace last night when he opened a four days engagement in his new six reel com edy, The Kid" Never before has Chaplin been as funny as he is in this picture.
 Charlie Chaplin has hit the high spot in delightful entertainment in his first attempt at a feature length picture, 'The Kid which is the title he has given the story, which he has written himself. is to HIS. the most enjoyable Chaplin film we have ever seen. In the first place it simply bubbles over with laughter and the situations are so human that you do not feel foolish because you are laughing. Again. it is long enough so that it provides whole evening s entertainment in itself.
 But several times during the course of "The Kid' this comedian made us swallow a lump in our throats and wipe real tears of sympathy from our eyes by the patllos of his acting. and before our handkerchief was back in our pocket it was needed again to dry our cheeks of the tears caused by the shrieks of laughter from the antics of the same actor

Business on Sunday Works Out Quite
 Successfully.
 Beaver. Pa, March For the first time in many years all the stores of this place were closed yesterday as a voluntary contribution toward q sane observance of the Sunday laws of the state. As far as reported tonight, there were po violations of the promises made to the ministerial committee of tho four Protestant churches carly Tn the week that a general shutdowh would be observed by the shopkeepers of the county seat.
 The four drug stores were open Tor the sale of medicine by prescription only, not one of them dealing out Ice cream or soda water. while the general candy stores and fruit markets were closed. Several of the garages on the outskirts of the town were open Tor the sale of gasoline to machines on the way through the Beaver Road to Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. but they showed very little activity, each using only one employe.
 All the restaurants were open as us- ual. and tho dining rooms of the hotels were doing business, as it IS the cus- tom of many persons here, even church goers, 10 take their families 10 the hotels for Sunday dinner. Ministers of the several churches in the town all agreed that there was no disturbing feature in connection with the observ- ance of the Sunday laws, and their congrt gations in the morning services were large, all showing heavy increases over the previous Sunday.
