The Election in Centre County.
The election throughout Centre county
on Tuesday was so quiet and unsensa-
tional as t~ cause little excitement or
comme~.¢c. The one interesting feature
was the contest on constitutional amend-
ment No. 1, generally known as the road
loan. During the past month consid-
erable work had been done throughout
the county in behalf of this amendment
but so decided was the opposition to it
that the vote for and against it was
about one-third greater than on any of
the other amendments and the official
count will show its defeat by over eight
hundred majority.
Webster Grim and J. W. Kephart car-
ried the county for Superior Court Judge.
J. Adam Hazel and John D. Decker were
elected Jury commissioners and Dr. John
Sebring coroner. Party lines were not
closely regarded in the election of bor-
ough and township tickets, the personal
worth of the candidates having had a lot
to do with the result in many precincts.
On page four of today’s paper is given
the unofficial vote as cast on Tuesday.
The Result in the Borough.
The election in Bellefonte passed off
very orderly and quiet. The only real
contests were on tax collector, borough
treasurer and the constitutional amend-
ment No. 1. For tax collector J. Kenne-
dy Johnston defeated W. H. Brown by
183 majority while E. J. Gehret defeated
S. Kline Roodring by 133 majority. The
constitutional amendment carried in the
borough by 127 of a majority. In the
North ward Hard P. Harris and W. A.
Lyon were elected borough councilmen
over John J. Bower, Mr. Lyon being on
the three tickets. The full vote is as

Jury Commissioner:
—-—The Bellefonte High school foot-
ball team was defeated by the Jersey
Shore High school team on Hughes field
last Saturday by the score of 12 to 7, but
at that they far outplayed their oppon-
ents. Jersey Shore's last tally was made
on a fluke when one of the Bellefonte
High backs fumbled the ball. The local
team was out-weighed about fifteen
pounds to the man, but they made up in
pluck what they lacked in weight, and
most of the game was played in the
visitor's territory. In fact had it not been
that Jersey Shore had an ex-State College
man on its team the Bellefonte High
would have beaten them easily. Yeager
starred on the Bellefonte team.

old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
Shutt, who reside on the eastern end of
Burrows alley, died quite suddenly of
malignant scarlet fever at 5:30 o'clock
on Tuesday morning. The child had
been ill since the Friday previous but her
condition did not become very serious
until Monday afternoon, when a physician
was summoned. The case was at once
diagnosed as scarlet fever and the malig-
288 | nant nature developed very rapidly.
Though everything possible was done
the childdied on Tuesday morning, burial
being made as soon afterwards as possi-
ble. In addition to the parents several
brothers and sisters survive, but at this
writing none of the other children have
taken the disease.

and Mrs. Burns Crider, on east Linn
street, Catharine Nolan, the six year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph

ing schools were dismissed on Monday and
the rooms thoroughly fumigated. The
{ Shutt home was fumigated on Tuesday
morning as well as a number of the sur-
rounding houses, and every effort is be-
ing made to prevent a spread of the dis-

TAYLOR.—Arthur J. Taylor, a former ;
resident of Bellefonte, died quite sud-
denly at his home in Milton on Monday
morning, of diabetes. He had not been
in good health for some time but was

cent, Lycoming county, shortly after the
old nail works were built and worked as
a nailer, making his home with Col.

| every way and had many friends in Belle-
| fonte who regret his death. While a
resident of this place he was united in
marriage to Miss Alice Scanlon, of Axe
Mann, who survives with no children.
He also leaves his mother and two broth-
| ers, Fred W., of Troy, Pa., and Howard,
of Buffalo, N. Y. The remains were
brought to Bellefonte on the 1:07 train
Wednesday afternoon and taken to the
Catholic cemetery for burial.

Girls Leaped Into Scaiding Water.
Two diving nymphs, exhibiting their
charms and skill in a theater in Mil
waukee, Wis., are encasing their bod
fes in hospital sheets instead of An:
nette Kellerman costumes, as a result
of a stage hand’s blunder.
When the cold wave hit Milwaukee
the water was too cold for the girls,
and they complained. The stage hands
turned steam into the tank and forgot
to turn it off after the performance,
When the girls appeared for rehearsal
no one noticed that the water was not
as usual, and Edith Byington and Eva
Luwin, on opposite sides of the tank,
dved together.
Their screams prevented the other
girls from leaping in also, and the two

Paris Will Not Act on Mexico's Plea
Until President Wilson Announces
His Policy.
Secretary of State Bryan flatly re
fused to discuss the Mexican situation
in any of its phases.
He was asked particularly about one
published report that General Huerta
had made a reply to a recent commu-
nication from the United States and
he refused to confirm or deny fit.
It is expected that the Mexican die-
tator will set forth his position as to
his policy regarding vacating the pres-

The scout cruiser Chester, now at

Vera Cruz, she will be able to join the
smaller craft inshore.

State department officials take the
position that the action of the French
foreign office in refraining from indi
cating whether it was disposed to me-
diate between Mexico and the Urited
States is another evidence of the in-
tention of France to defer to the policy
of the United States in the Mexican
situation. France was among the first
of the European governments to ac-
cede to the request to defer action in
the Mexican situation until the Wash-
ington government had formulated and
announced its policy.
According to information reaching
the state department about 1200 to
1500 Americans remain in Mexico

the towns of Torreon, Monterey, Guay-
amas and Mazatlan.
Since the warning issued by Presi-
| dent Wilson in his last message to
congress relative to the Mexican sit-
uation no new instructions have heen
sent to these Americans. It is stated,
however, that in the interval a few,
