PATHFINDERS FOR HARRISBURG MOTOR
Crus RUN VISIT BELLEFONTE.—]. Clyde
Myton, secretary of the Harrisburg motor
club, accompanied by W. R. Douglass,
W. P. Cunningham and Hugh Vogt ar-
rived in Bellefonte last Friday evening as
pathfinders for the economy test and
sociability run being arranged by the
Harrisburg motor club to Bellefonte on
Saturday, October 4th. They came by
way of the Susquehanna valley to Lew- i
isburg, thence through the Narrows to
Woodward, through Pennsvalley to Cen-
tre Hall and across Nittany mountain to
Bellefonte. They spent the night at the
Bush house, leaving about ten o'clock
Saturday morning on the return trip
which was made across the Seven moun-
tains and through the Juniata valley.
Upon returning home Mr. Myton made
the following statement:
“No artist could paint and no word-
story could tell of the wonderfully beau-
tiful country through which the path-
finders of the Motor club of Harrisburg
passed to-day in laying out the route for
the annual economy and sociability con-
test, which is scheduled for October 4th.
Many runs have been held, and hundreds
of Pennsylvania roads have been cov-
ered, but it remained for to-day’s trip to
open a virgin territory for automobile
contests the beauty of which is ond
description. From Lewisburg to Wood-
ward, 8 miles over a branch of the Alle-
gheny mountains, the scenery can easily
said to far surpass any other section
in Pennsylvania. Even this mountain
road of perfectshale is better by far than
any of the roadway in the vicinity of the
Capital city. The entire trip of 115 miles
crosses unusual roads and no one need
fear the road snares. Wonderful moun-
tain scenery will greet the entrant along
the entire way and Bellefonte 1s a live
wire town, just waiting to turn loose in a
reception for the autoists.”

FINE FEATHERS.—Playgoers of Belle
fonte can justly look forward to a treat
in the engagement of “Fine Feathers”
which comes to Garmans Monday night,
September 29th. “Fine Feathers,” writ-
ten by Eugene Walton, was produced in
Chicago by H. H. Frazee at his Cort the-
atre and scored the biggest dramatic suc-
cess ever credited to a play in that city.
It ran there over four months and finish-
ed its season in the Astor theatre, New,
York. "Fine Feathers” is described as a
drama of today. It is said to deal with
the problems that confront the average
American household and is peopled with
characters familiar to every man and
woman who goes to the theatre. Itisa
big reverberating play full of gripping in-
cident and overpowering climaxes, diag-
nosing human life in a relentless, search-
ing way, with its lights and shadows, its
humor and its serious aspect. It deals
with the increased cost and the higher
standard of living and its effect on the
American home. It deals with the ten-
tacles of "big interests” and shows how
they reach into the American family
and effect the man’s method of indus-
trial attack.
Prices, 25, 35, 50, 75 cents, and a few at
$1.50.

——Residents of State College are on
the jump all the time. During nine
months of the year they are hard put to
to accommodate the large number of stu-
dents at the College and during the other
three months they are busy building new
houses to take care of the increase that
comes every year. But at that they find
time for a little recreation and pleasure
and last Friday night the members of
the State College gun club and a number
of their friends, about thirty-five in all,
went over to Tussey mountain in eleven
automobiles on a big coon hunt. Post-
master Phil D. Foster was master of cere-
monies and the hunt lasted until the first
gray streaks of dawn but not a single
‘coon did they catch or scent. But they
got a scent all right when they killed two
skunks. Another try for 'coons will be
made probably this week.
——The Bellefonte Central railroad
company recently purchased thirty box
cars. Ten cars have already been de-
livered and the balance will be delivered
as soon as they are out of service. The
of the increasing lime and stone trade.
was the appointment of a finance com-
mission, composed of five ministers and
frie laymen, with the conference super-
intendent, to take charge of the finances
of the conference. Those who compose
the new commission are the following:
Conference Supt. the Rev. Dr. J. S. Ful-
ton of Johnstown; the Revs. L. W.
Stahl, J. W. Wilson, B. C. Shaw, T. W.
Burgess and M. W. Burtner; laymen—
Dr. A. E. Roose, Albert Keistern, A. E.
Cassler, M. H. Myers and Darius Waite,
the latter of Bellefonte.
The other new body created to take
charge of the affairs of the conference
is the council of administration. Each
| minister in the conference is required to
submit a full report each month to this
body, which in turn will report to the
bishop each three months. The council
is composed of the following: The Revs.
J. W. Wilson, A. E. Roose and M. H. |
Meyers.
At Saturday's session the treasurer,
the Rev. L. W. Stahl, of Windber, report-
ed that during the year more than $17,-
000 had been handled, and that the confer-
ence budget, including the missionary sup-
port and the money needed forthe work
of the conference, amounted to $10,000,
The Rev. B. C. Shaw, missionary treas-
urer, reported a total of $6,200 for foreign
missions and $2,500 for home missions
contributed by the conference during the
last year.
Among the appointments are the fol-
lowing of interest to WATCHMAN readers:
Conference superintendent Altoona dis-
trict, Rev. J. S. Fulton, of Altoona.
Bellefonte—H. A. Ralston.
Houserville—S. M. Johnson.
Philipsburg—W. H. Spangler.
Port Matilda—S. J. Wilson.
Runville—E. B. Somers.
Zion—F. J. Strayer.
Rev. C. W. Winey, who was pastor of
the Bellefonte church the past four
years, was transferred to Connellsville, |
notwithstanding efforts on the part of
the congregation to have him returned.
During the years that Rev. Winey has
been in charge of the Bellefonte church
he has not only done a good work, built
up his congregation and church organi-
tions but has established a friendship
among the people of Bellefonte generally
which extends to a large radius outside
his church. It was therefore with deep
regret that his many friends learned of
his transfer.
During Rev. Winey’s four years min-
istry in Bellefonte he received 108 new
members into the church while the Sun.
day school was increased about one-third.
He had 170 baptisms, 78 marriages and
93 funerals. The mortgage on the
church property was lifted and the base-
ment of the church remodeled into a
very comfortable and convenient Sunday
school room. A triangular piece of
ground along the church was purchased
and made into a lawn with beautiful
flower beds. Other improvements con-
sisted of the installation of a new fur-
nace, electric light and a bath room in
the parsonage, concrete cellar and new
walks at the parsonage and a flagstone
pavement along the church property on
Thomas street, all of which put the
property into excellent condition. Rev.
Winey was president of the Bellefonte
Ministerium, president of the Christian
Endeavor societies of Centre county and
statistical secretary of the Centre county
Sunday school association.

G. FRED Musser GETS LEASE ON
PHOENIX MILL PROPERTY.—At the regular
meeting of borough council on Monday
evening, September 15th, the Lauder-
bach—Barber company through their at-
torney stated that they would like to
lease that portion of the Phoenix mill
property lately occupied by the Yeager
Swing company and asked what rental
council wanted. The matter was refer-
red to the Water committee.
In the meantime G. Fred Musser made
the committee an offer for the property
and a special meeting of council was held
on Monday evening to dispose of the
matter. The Lauderbach—Barber com.
pany was represented by W. D. Zerby
and Mr. Musser by N. B. Spangler. Mr.
Musser’s offer was on the basis of a $500
per year rental and the Lauderbach—
Barber company made it $600.
There was considerable discussion pro
and con and finally Mr. Brockerhoff
made a motion that final disposition ot
the matter be held over until the next
regular meeting night. The motion was
defeated. A motion to lease the property
to G. Fred Musser was then put and car-
ried, there being only two dissenting
votes.
The property will be occupied as a
wholesale grocery by Dannenhower &
Sons, incorporated, with G. Fred Musser
as manager. The above firm has its head-
quarters in Camden N. J., has a number
of wholesale stores throughout the east
and is one of the largest and most re-
sponsible houses in the country. Mr.
Musser, who is now in the east complet-
ing detailed arrangements, expects to
have the plant here open and ready for
business bythe first of October. Inas-
much as he was manager of the Lauder-
bach—Barber company store here for
years, from the time it was first opened
under Platt, Barber & Co. until last
spring, he is consequently well knowa to
the trade of Bellefonte and Centre county
and will doubtless make a success of the

Unwise, Says the Presiding Judge, “to
Try This Case Piecemeal”—Defense
Enters General Denial.
William Sulzer must go to trial in
Albany, N. Y., on the merits of the im-
peachment charges made against him,
Later on the court will decide whether
it has a right to try him.
Reduced to plain English, that is the
meaning of an astounding ruling made
by the court. It took the breath from
even those who voted for it. The im-
portance of the decision is that had
the court ruled in favor of Sulzer on
his demurrer to the three “money ar-
ticles” of the impeachment, certain
evidence of alleged misconduct in of-
fice could not have been placed before
the court.
Now he must face trial. Later on It
may be decided that the court had no
! right to try him for acts committed
prior to his taking office. But the
damaging evidence will have been
placed before the tribunal.
No one had an inkling of what was
to come. Austen G. Fox, the last of
Sulzer’s string of attorneys, had closed
a powerful argument against bringing
Sulzer to trial for acts precedent to
his office holding. He had shown that
in the constitu.ions of - twenty-four
states impeachment on such charges
is specifically barred. He had aligned
precedent after precedent in support
of his position. It is too much to say
his position would have heen support-
ed by vote. But the division would
have been on more even terms than in
preceding votes. It was assumed that
; a vote would be ordered. Then Judge
Cullen gave his opinion, advising that
the decision on the indictments in
question be deferred until the final
issue of the guilt or innocence of the
accused official be reached.
When he ordered a vote forty-nine
members of the court voted to defer
decision on the objections to the three
articles of the bill of impeachment
until the final vote is taken upon Gov-
ernor Sulzer's guilt or innocence of
the charges made against him. Seven
voted against this, in spite of Cullen's
powerful statement from the bench
and the fact that he was supported by
every member of the court of appeals,
which sit with the senate. immediate-
ly afterward the respondent's answer
was read in which he entered a formal
denia! of the charges. Then Eugene
Lamb Richards, counsel for the man-
agers of the impeachment proceedings,
opened the case for the state.
Secretary of State Mitchell May was
then called to the stand as the first
witness in the impeachment trial
He was called to testify that Gover-
nor Sulzer was nominated, elected and
sworn into office as governor.
“We will concede,” said Louis Mar-
shall for the governor, “that he was
duly nominated, elected and inducted
into office.”
“Do you admit that he has not re-
signed?” asked Isidore Kresel, for the
prosecution. “We do,” replied the gov-
ernor’'s counsel, “and that he has no
intention of resigning.”
After testifying that he had admin
istered the oath of office to the gover-
nor, Mr. May was excused.
George R. VanNamee, clerk of the
assembly, the next witness, produced
the report of the Frawley investigat-
ing committee, presented to the as-
sembly on Aug. 11, and testified that
it had been adopted. He produced also
the impeachment resolutions adopted
by the assembly the same day.
VanNamee was excused to obtain
documents he had neglected to bring,
and Mr. May was recalled to produce
the original statement of Governor
Sulzer's campaign contributions. He
produced also the campaign statement
of the William Sulzer Progressive
League. This showed reports of $450
and expenditures of $451.
Patrick McCabe, clerk of the senate
and of the court, was then called. He
testified to the presentation of the ar
ticles of impeachment to the senate
and of the service of the articles upon
the gevernor.
Albert Wolf, of New York, testified
to having taken Governor Sulzer's
oath to his campaign affidavit on Nov,
