LICENSE CASES ARGUED. —
made on the testimony taken for and
against the different hotels. The entire
matter is now in the hands of Judge
Orvis.
When court convened at ten o'clock on
Wednesday morning probably one hun-
dred and fifty persons were in the audi-
ence, about one-fourth of the number
being women. James C. Furst Esq., one
of ‘the attorneys for the remonstrants,
addressing the court said that he desired
to make a statement. He referred to an
article published in a recent issue of the
Keystone Gazette which had been written
by Rev. George E. Hawes, whom he
referred to as one of the litigants in the
present fight. Mr. Furst disclaimed any
knowledge of the article prior to its pub-
lication and stated that had it been sub-
. mitted to him he certainly would not
have sanctioned its publication as it ap-
peared in print. He further stated that
Rev. Hawes disclaimed any intention of
reflecting upon the integrity of the court,
and the sentence that was generally con,
strued as such, had reference to the next
Legislature. Attorney Harry F. Moore,
of Washington, Pa., also for the remon-
strants, disclaimed any knowledge of the
article prior to its publication and furth-
er stated that he did not believe in try-
ing causes through the public press, as
that is what courts are for. Judge Orvis
stated that the court was not concerned
so much ras to the article itself as to
whether the attorneys knew of it before-
hand and sanctioned its publication, but
inasmuch as they disclaimed all knowl-
edge of it the court would accept their
explanation and allow the matter to drop.
Rev. Hawes was in court when the above
explanation was made, but of course was
not called upon to say anything.
The first case taken up was that of the
'Milesburg hotel. Mr. Furst, representing
the remonstrants, commented upon the
testimony taken by them, alleging that
landlord Henry Kohlbecker was a man of
intemperate habits, that he sold to minors
and men of intemperate habits and that
intoxicated men were allowed to lounge
around his bar-room and the hotel yard.
The attorneys for Mr. Kohlbecker sub-
mitted the testimony of a dozen or more
witnesses, all well known residents of
Boggs township, in which they stated
that there was a necessity for a hotel
there and that it was as well conducted
now as ever. They presented the testi-
mony of Dr. Huff to show that Mr. Kohl-
becker was a sufferer with nervous trou-
ble, and what was generally taken to be
intoxication was in reality a disease.
Mrs. Harry Diehl, one of the witnesses
for the remonstrants testified to the
‘rooms being unclean and the beds in-
fested with vermin. Attorney S. D.
Gettig, representing Mr. Kohlbecker,
caused some amusement when he stated
that the total of what Mrs. Diehl saw
was two bed bugs in seven years.
In the case against the Bush house at-
torney Moore presented the testimony.
He commented upon the - evidence of
Samuel Haupt and Charles Knapp, men
of intemperate habits who claimed they
bought liquor there within the past year;
J. Warren Hawk, a State College student,
and Francis Musser, both minors, who
also bought intoxicating beverages. Mr.
Moore, however, was exceedingly fair in
his arguments, stating to the court that
the character of the witnesses would
have to be taken into consideration and
also whether landlord Daggett and his
bartenders had used proper discretion in
their endeavors to learn the age of young
men before serving them with drink. He
stated that if the court believed all the
evidence as produced by them he would
ask that a license be refused Mr. Dag-
gett, as under those circumstances he
would not be a fit man to run a hotel.
Representing Mr. Daggett attorney W.
Harrison Walker presented the testimony
of Mr. Daggett and his bartenders deny-
ing emphatically the evidence of Haupt
and Knapp and averring that the minors
who swore that they had gotten drinks
there had done so only after they declar-
ed they were of age. Mr. Walker fur-
ther called attention to the fact that Mr.
Daggett had been landlord of the Bush
house the past twenty-three years and
was always regarded as a most efficient
‘| hotel man in every respect, and his house
always ably cond
Taking up the Brockerhoff house case
Mr. Moore called attention to the fact of
the alleged charge of gambling and com-
mented upon the evidence of four men
who admitted that there had been card
games at the hotel but stated that so
far as they knew they were played with-
out the knowledge or consent of the pro-
prietor. On the charge of intemperance
the testimony of Miss Zimmerman, of
Hecla, was presented, and the evidence
of Samuel Haupt, Charles Knapp and
Herbert Smith was presented to show
that liquor was sold to men of intemper-
ate habits. Francis Musser’s testimony
that he bought liquor there within the
past year was also presented, but the fact
was also stated that he had declared him-
self of age. H. C. Quigley, representing
Mr. Ray, called attention to the fact that
since he had been in charge the hotel
had been conducted better than it had
for years. And as far as the card game
was concerned, it was not gambling as
courts have construed it, but a friendly
game played more as a social relaxation
than for any other reason, and that there
was no evidence to show that Mr. Ray
knew anything about it. Regarding the
The last;
.-.|.effort of the temperance element in, their
fight against the granting of liquor li-
| censes in Bellefonte and Milesburg was
‘made on Wednesday when argument was
upon the testimony of H. R. Bell, who
swore that he had never seen him intox-
icated and also the evidence of two oth-
er witnesses to the same effect. Com-
Moore stated that he had called the
bank presidents and such people as wit-
had been frequenters of drinking places.
Mr. Quigley commented upon the evi-
dence of Clarence Roads, one of the bar- |
explanation of the hotel blacklist he
by either Mr. Ray or the bartenders.
The one bit of testimony most strong-
ly urged against landlord Kline, of the
ren Hawk, a State College student, a half
pint of whiskey. But in contradiction Mr.
Kline’s attorneys . presented
showing that Hawk represented himself
to be of age. At the conclusion of the
argument in the Kline case attorney
Moore withdrew and left for his home in
Washington, Pa.
The case of the application of August
Glinz for a license at the Garman house
was called and briefly discussed by the
attorneys representing Glinz and J. Mac
Davis but no settlement of the perplex-
ing condition was effected.
J. Kennedy Johnston, in a general way,
argued against the granting of licenses in
Philipsburg and W. D. Zerby contended
that so long as the hotel men conformed
to the law they were entitled to a license.
At the conclusion of the arguments |
remonstrances. Attorney Gettig stated
that under the Brooks license law the
only remonstrances that could be consid-
ered were those signed entirely by voters
living within the district in which the
hotel or hotels are located. All others
count for naught. ‘Mr. Furst admitted
the correctness of the statement and said
that he was simply presenting the re-
monstrances for.what they were worth.
All the papers were given into the custo-
dy of the court and his decisions will be
handed down in due time.
The entire proceedings on Wednesday
| were devoid of pyrotechnics and extreme-
ly fair throughout on both sides. j
——Miss Grace Marvin's this week

ing the Y. M. C. ‘A. in shape for the open-
ing of her new millinery store. Miss
Marvin for a number of years past has
been head milliner for Joseph Bros., and
her taste and good judgment in ladies

——A letter from Harrisburg informs
the county commissioners that money
paid out to them for scalp certificates
under the Act of 1907, will be refunded
the county, and in consequence the com-
missioners have concluded to pay all
such certificates presented them. This
will not cover certificates for scalps certi-
fied under later Acts of Assembly.
——The adhe of John Cooper Knox
Dare, who died in Pasadena, Cal, the
latter part of December and whose. re-
mains were incinerated at the Mountain
View Electrical Crematorium, Pasadena,
on December 31st, 1913, were shipped
east on February 3rd and arrived in Belle-
fonte on Monday evening. The urn con-
taining the ashes was received by under-
buried in the Dare lot in the Union ceme-
tery on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock.
No relatives were present at the solemn
service.
——The lime business in this section
has been improving since the beginning
of the new year. Charles Morris, who
operates the Pike plant of the American
Lime and Stone company, has everything
there in full blast with orders to keep it
so for some time. Work has been in-
creased at’ some of the other plants of
the company and the indications are for
a good business with the advent of spring
or more favorable weather. The lime
and stone business is now the biggest in-
dustry in this section and when it is stag-
nated everybody naturally feels it more
or less. 4
——Samuel H. Wigton, of Philipsburg,
has been appointed one of the appraisers
in the estate of Roy W. Jacobs, of Hunt-
ingdon. Mr. Jacobs, who is an ex-burgess
of that town, some time ago went into
voluntary bankruptcy because he was
unable at the time to realize on some in-
vestments he had made, the necessity for
such action being brought about by the
failure of the Glazier bank. When the
bankruptcy papers were made out Mr.
Jacobs was very sick and his immediate
counsel was also sick. : The liabilities
were placed at about $92,000, with assets
in sight aggregating about $51,000. After
Mr. Jacobs recovery, however, he declared
assets considerably in excess of one hun-
dred thousand dollars, so that the estate
ought to pay one hundred cents on the
dollar and leave a small nest egg for Mr.
Jacobs.” Henry C. Quigley Esq. of this
place, is’ the referee in ‘the bankruptcy
proceedings.

A PRINTER'S. COSTLY ERROR.—On De-
cember 31st, 1913, there were filed in the
office of the Recorder of Centre county
two mortgages given by the New York
i Central railroad company which were
probably the biggest legal documents
ever recorded in Centre county. They
were printed in paper book form and one
of them made 156 pages and was for
$500,000,000, while the other was 120
pages and for $167,102,400. These mort-
gages were entered for record in nine
counties in the State, namely: Centre,
Lycoming, Clinton, Clearfield, Cambria,
Indiana, Jefferson, Tioga and Potter.
Recently it was discovered that in the
printing of the smaller mortgage there
was an error which will necessitate the
cancelling on the docket of the instru-
| ment already recorded and the record-
ing of the corrected mortgage. The er-
ror consisted in the omission of a para-
graph in the original document by the
printers. The mortgages provided for
the issuing of bonds for refunding and
| improvement purposes, whereas no bonds
had been issued under it on' account of
the omission of certain essential clauses.
| It was some time before the error was
| discovered but when it was the Record-
| ers in the various counties in which the
instrument was recorded were promptly
notified and a new copy of the mortgage
| printed. This was filed in Centre coun-
ty for record this week. The ex-
pense of the printer's error, so far as the
cancellation of the erroneous mort-
gage and the double recording, will
have to be met by the railroad company.
But this expense is not as great as the
general public would imagine from the
size of the document. All such work is
given out on contract and the cost for
| recording both of the big mortages in
Centre county was considerably less than
one hundred dollars, and the entire cost
of recording in all the counties was be-
low a thousand dollars. The recording
of such mortgages means a big amount of
work, but the pay is small compared to
the regular fee-bill work.

FARMER BURNED TO DEATH.—John S.
Hendrickson, who with his daugh-
ter occupied a farm near Middle-
town, N. J., was burned to death Satur-
day night when the farm house was en-
tirely destroyed by fire. The particulars
are meager, but information is to the ef-
fect that the fire originated in the kitch-
en and as the wind was blowing a gale at
the time it was only a few minutes until
the entire house was a mass of flames.
Mr. Hendrickson’s daughter and her hus.
band were in New York for the night and
the only person in the house beside him-
self was a servant girl. She escaped in
her night clothes but was unable to do
anything toward saving Mr. Hendrick-
ison. The houseand contents were en-
tirely destroyed and no trace could be
found of the unfortunate man’s body un-
til Tuesday when it was found in such a
position as to indicate that he had made
an-attempt to escape from the flames.
Mr. Hendrickson was about seventy-
five years old and was a native of New
Jersey: He was married to Miss Jennie
Harris, of this place, a sister of Mrs. Wis-
ter Morris and thelate Mrs. Evan Blanch-
ard. Some years ago the Hendrickson
family spent two years or more in Belle-
fonte, occupying the house on east Linn
street now occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
John M. Shugert. Shortly after their re-
moval from Bellefonte to Middletown, N.
J., Mrs. Hendrickson died and her re-
mains were brought here for burial in
the ‘Union ' cemetery. Their surviving
children ‘are: Mrs. Ernest H. Taylor, of
Middletown, N. J., and Charles Hendrick-
son, of Red Bank, N. J.
COMPANY L CLEARS ABOUT $100.—The
net proceeds for Company L for two
nights and a matinee of “Under the Stars
and Stripes,” the great Filipino war
drama, was just about one hundred dol-
lars; but the young people of Bellefonte
who took part in the home talent pro-
duction got a lot of fun out of their ex-
perience, notwithstanding the fact. that
it took a great deal of hard work to drill
and stage the production all in less than
two weeks. -Mr. and Mrs. Hoskyns, who'
had personal charge of the play, are
adepts in their line, but they had some |
very apt amateurs in the persons of Capt. |

BABY MINE. — “Baby Mine,” Margaret
Mayo’s laugh-play is announced as the
offering at Garman’s on Tuesday evening,
February 24th. No play in recent years

sparkling comedy. Miss Mayo confesses
that she got the idea for “Baby Mine”
from a newspaper clipping which stated
that thousands of husbands are fondling
babies in the belief that they are their
own. With this basic idea, Miss Mayo
has fashioned the funniest play of recent
years. From the moment the hot-headed
husband leaves home in a towering rage
and when later a comforting female friend
of the wife suggests that he be lured
back by a telegram announcing that at
last he is the father of a baby boy, “Baby
Mine” takes on all the aspects of a
screamingly funny comedy that knows
no let-up in its laughing department.

LEWISBURG AND TYRONE RAILROAD
SoLp.—The western portion of the Lew-
isburg and Tyrone railroad, running
from Tyrone to Scotia, valued at $604,-
000, was last: Saturday transferred te
Robert E. Marshall, of the auditing de-
partment of the Pennsylvania’ railroad
and was in turn transferred by him to
the L&wisburg and Tyrone Railway com-
pany, a subsidiary of the Pennsy, and
which now has charge of the road.
The line had been leased by the Penn-
sy for many years, and the Pennsy owns
practically all of the stock and holds ‘all
of the bonds of the company. The road
has not been a paying proposition for
many years, and when the bonds could
not be cancelled the ‘Pennsy foreclosed
and a new company, the Lewisburg and
Tyrone Railway company, was formed
and took over the road. The new com-
pany is practically the same as the old.
To have the property transferred to the
new company, however, it was necessa-
ry for the old company to sell it to a
third party, who at once turned it over
to the new company. This work was
completed on Saturday.
