Ballinger will be Whitewashed. The taking of testimony in the BAL- LINGER-PINCHOT investigation has been completed and the work of preparing the whitewash may begin soon. That itis the intention of the committee to excul- pate BALLINGER may be accepted as a certainty. There will be a minority re- port, of course, and even those in the majority on the committee are not likely to agree on all points. But it is safe to predict that the majority members on the committee will agree that however indiscreet Mr. BALLINGER has been no actual culpability has been proved. Some- thing of this sort is necessary to guaran- tee funds for the party in the next con- gressional election. As aJmatter of fact, however, the evi- dence overwhelmingly convicts Mr. BAL- LINGER of complicity in a conspiracy to despoil the country of public lands of im- mense value. The participants in this conspiracy, besides Mr. BALLINGER, were the firm of J. PIERPONT MORGAN & Co., Senator GUGGENHEIM, of Colorado, and his brothers and one or two others. Possibly President TAFT had no actual knowledge of the scheme when the plans were being made, but he must have known that the parties in interest had some sinister motive in forcing BALLING- ER into his cabinet and he ought to have discerned the whole truth. In any event he stands condemned as a fool or a knave. Mr. BALLINGER has not only been prov- en a conspirator but he has been revealed as a liar and perjurer. Several state- ments to which he swore have been proven false and others put in question. Moreover it has been shown that both the President and the Attorney General have falsified the records in order to shield BALLINGER and if he is permitted to re- main in the cabinet after the investiga- tion is completed the inference that they are equally guilty of fraud will be clearly justified. The public will watch the sub- sequent proceedings with deep interest. Under certain circumstances the next Congress which is certain to be Demo- cratic may have an impeachment case to dispose of. ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. —Peter is dead. By that we mean Peter, Dr. Brockerhoff’s pet dog. Several weeks ago two overgrown canines literal- ly made a meal of little Gyp, the doctor's smallest pet, and on Sunday morning Pete tried to stop Keichline’s automobile as it was coming down High street and failed. The result was he was run over and had just life enough left to crawl onto the pavement in front of Dr. Dale’s residence where he took his departure for dog heaven. The doctor said an inquest was unnecessary. rs as— —0On Monday W. J. Musser of east Lamb street, had three boys arrested for trespass for tramping down his alfalfa. He has a nice field of this grass between Linn and Lamb streets and when the boys played ball on an adjacent lot the ball was frequently knocked into Mr. Musser’s alfalfa field. To hunt and re- cover it the boys tramped down consider- able grass and though they were fre- quently warned by Mr. Musser they did not heed. As a last resort he had three of the bunch arrested. They were given a hearing before justice of the peace W. H. Musser on Tuesday evening and were let go by paying the costs, which aggre- gated nine dollars, or three dollars per i boy. ee —~At noon on Monday a dead trout, fully twenty inches in length, floated down Spring creek past the WATCHMAN office. ‘While this was the only dead trout seen in this stream recently quite a number of dead suckers have been observed and the quandary is what kills them. One Belle- fonte fisherman went after the trout in the hope of getting it out of the water and finding out, if possible, the cause of its death, but was unable to get it. So far as known there is no drainage containing impurities that would be deleterious to fish life run into Spring Creek in this section and what is killing the fish is a mystery which Belle- fonte piscatorialists would like very much to have solved. ers and became oneof its charter mem- grange exhibition and he did much cess. He was an active and consistent mem- ber of the Lutheran church, assisted in Shiloh and was largely instrumental in building the church which is located on superintendent of the Sabbath school. He was punctual in attendance and always faithful in the discharge of his duties. In the community where he lived he commanded the confidence and respect of his neighbors. As a husband and father he always endeavored to set an example worthy to be followed. As a citizen he was positive in his convictions, yet charitable in his views, public spirit- ed, and interested in everything that tended to the welfare of the community and improvement of social conditions. His faithful wife, who prior to her marriage was Miss Helena Musser, of Penn Hall, who traveled the path of life with him for over fifty years, sympathized with him in his afflictions and rejoiced in his successes, preceded him to the grave but two years ago. He is survived, how- ever, by the following children : Horace C. Dale, of Rushville, Neb.; Mrs. Frank Musser, of near Bellefonte ; John S. Dale’s Summit ; also the following broth- ers and sisters : Mrs. Susan Musser, of Filmore ; William J. Dale and Mrs. Catherine Musser, of Pine Grove Mills ; Philip S. Dale and A. W.

Harvey Mann, of Beech Creek, died at the home of his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Pletcher, of Howard, at 6.30 o'clock last Thursday afternoon. Two years ago while working in West Virginia he was stricken with paralysis. He had recovered te a great extent when he had a second stroke and since then he has been in poor health. Several months ago he and his wife went to the Pletcher home at Howard in the hope that the change would prove bene- ficial. Mr. Mann was up and around and last Thursday afternoon was walking in the garden when he suffered a stroke of apoplexy about five o'clock and died at the time above stated. y He was born at Beech Creek and was forty-two years old. He lived in that vicinity the early part of his life but a I WooMER.—On Wednesday of last week John S. Woomer died at his home in Tay- stricken with paralysis and rendered etery. bers.

Several years ago while working as a brakeman on the Pennsylvania railroad he leaned too far outside his train and was hit on the head by a telegraph pole. Ever since he has been troubled more or less with pains in the head and about two months ago an abscess formed on the brain which caused his death. He was born at Port Matilda, this coun- ty, and was 28 years, 9 months and 5 days old. His parents moved to Tyrone when he was a boy and having completed the course in the public schools he went to work for the Pennsylvania railroad com- pany as a brakeman.

J. F. Hower, of the United Evan- gelical church. Saturday morning the body was taken to Curtin for interment in the cemetery there. Deceased had been in Bellefonte several days three weeks ago visiting friends and had gone to Pittsburg a little over two weeks ago to resume his position as brake- man on the railroad. His death was quite sudden and occurred on Tuesday night of last week in Columbus, Ohio, following a stroke of apoplexy. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. John Sullivan, of this plas I i McCoy.—Thomas McCoy, a native of Centre county, died at the Blair county hospital in Hollidaysburg, on Sunday af- ter a protracted illness. He was born in Milesburg and was 63 years, 6 months and 24 days old. In 1898 he moved from this county to Bellwood where he worked at his trade as a blacksmith.

SwisHER.—Austin Swisher, one of the hbest known residents of Huston town- ship, died on Sunday afternoon about two o'clock. He had been ill for a week or ‘more with a complication of ailments and was so low for several days that once or twice before Sunday it was thought the spark of life had flown. Mr. Swisher was seventy-five years old and most of his life followed the occupa- tion of a farmer until a few years ago. He was quite widely known and univer- sally esteemed by all who knew him. Surviving him are his wife and six chil- dren, James, Carrie, Mary, Edward, Mar- garet and Chapman. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon, burial being made in the cemetery at Julian. port, and a brother of Seth T. McCor- mick, died in Atlantic City on Sunday.

He lived in Williamsport until twenty-three years ago and practically all his life was identi- fied with the lumbering interests of Cen- tral Pennsylvania. —On the opening day of the trout fishing season Edward Gillen, of this place, was fishing on Logan's branch and probably unknowingly trespassed upon the Bellefonte fish hatchery property. Information was made against him by fish warden Crisswell and he was ar- rested. The latter, however, failed to ap- pear at the time first set for the hearing and another date was set for last week. Again Crisswell failed to appear and jus- tice of the peace W. H. Musser discharg- ed the case against Gillen upon his pay- ing the costs. The action throughout was peculiar. While Mr. Gillen was the only man arrested it is alleged that sev- eral others fished as close to the hatchery as he did and that no attention was paid to them. ~The earth is large and yet how small. On Monday a letter reached this office from Shreveport, Louisiana, and it proved to be from R. P. Morton, an old Centre county boy who left this section probably a third of a century ago and has never been back since. He is now in the saddlery business in Shreveport and con- fesses to getting along as well as the average person. Some time ago some old friend who remembered him in by- gone yearssent him a copy of the WATCH- MAN and he admitted that it made him so homesick for news of old Centre coun- ty that he enclosed money for a year's subscription. Mr. Morton, by the way, is not only remembered by the editor of the WATCHMAN but by his children whom he so friendly refers to in his letter. !

Strawn went to Pittsburg and on Sunday accompanied A. J. Wertz, and L. A. Mon- ahan, of that city, and Daniel Monahan, of Greensburg, on a trip to Bellefonte in Mr. Wertz’s new Winton car.
