Two PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM PENITEN-
TIARY.—When the guards went to call
the roll of prisoners at the new peniten-
tiary near State College about 6.30 o'clock
on Sunday evening two of them were
missing. Although word was telephoned
all over this and surrounding counties to
be on the lookout for them they have not
been recaptured at this writing. The
two men who escaped are Italians, both
of Crawford county, and their sentence
dates from September 16th, 1912.
The men are Tony Tapach, alias
Zapanich, 25 years old, 5 feet 9% inches
tall and weighing about 160 pounds; and
Mike Jovanzi, alias Jovanovick, 20 years
old, 5 feet 5} inches tall and weighs
about 145 pounds.
As soon as the prisoners were missed
guards went to the Whiterock quarries
at Pleasant Gap and searched every pos-
sible place they might be in hiding but
they were not there and no trace could
be found of them in any direction. A
number of Italians have left Bellefonte
the past week and it is possible some of
these might have helped the prisoners
get away on Sunday.

day morning a number of Italians em.
ployed on the erection of the sewage
disposal plant ut State College went on a
strike for higher wages. They were get-
ting twenty cents an hour but wanted
more. When the contractors refused to
accede to their demands they became
ugly and attempted to start a riot among
the other workmen. Sheriff Arthur B.
Lee was appealed to for assistance and
securing two automobiles he went to the
College and arrested four of the ring.
leaders in the strike, bringing them to
Bellefonte and landing them in jail on
the charge of attempting to incite a riot.
This put an end to

LiceNse COURT.— License court was
held last Saturday morning and it was a
very brief session, lasting only about a half
hour. The various applications and
remonstrances were handed to the court
by D. R. Foreman, clerk of the court.
Attorneys James C. Furst and H. F.
Moore, representing the remonstrances,
asked for a rule of court to take testi-
mony on the specific charges filed against
Bellefonte hotels, which was granted.
They then asked that the testimony be
taken in open court. This the court re-
fused, owing to an established precedent
in Centre county of having all such tes-
timony taken before a master and pre-
sented to the court in due and proper
form. The court also insisted that this
work should be done with as little delay
as possible, so that the whole matter
could be settled. Mr. Furst stated that
inasmuch as some of their testimony
would be given by State College stu-
dents it would be impossible to take it
between December 19th and January 5th,
as said students would be home on va-
cation.
The attorneys for the remonstrants
selected Harry Keller, notary public, to
preside during the taking of testimony.
