vention sermon will be preached by Rev.

i STRUCK BY Auto, DIES IN HOSPITAL.
! —Andrew G. Kreamer, an aged resident
of Hublersburg, was struck by an auto
on Tuesday afternoon while crossing the
road in front of his home and so badly
injured that he died at the Lock Haven
hospital about five o’clock on Wednesday
evening. Mr. Kreamer, who has been in
feeble health for some time and exper-
‘ ienced some difficulty in walking, started
across the street as an automobile came
| coasting slowly down the hill. The driver
| of the car tooted his horn and did what
| he could to get around the man safely
' but Mr. Kreamer evidently became con-
| fused and stopped, being struck by the
i car and knocked down. He was picked
i up and carried into his home where it
| was found that his skull was fractured.
He was taken to the Lock Haven hos-
| pital where he died on Wednesday even- |
jing. The automobile which figured in
: the accident belongs to J. W. Johnson, of ,
! Lock Haven, but the driver is exonerated |
| of all blame by those who saw the un-'
| fortunate occurrence.

CENTRE COUNTY VETERAN CLUB REUN-
I0N.—The fortieth annual reunion of the
Centre county veteran club was held in
Bellefonte last Saturday, and as evidence
of how fast the old soldiers are passing
away is the fact that less than fifty were
present at Saturday’s gathering. Twen-
ty-five years ago the veteran's picnic was
the biggest yearly gathering in Centre
county.
The reunion was to have been held on
the High school commons but owing to
the unseasonably cold weather the school
authorities threw open the High school
building and invited the veterans to use
it as a place of meeting. It was almost
eleven o'clock when the veterans met
and they were called to order by first
vice president W. H. Fry, who appointed
the following comittees:
Committee on officers, Samuel B. Mil-.
ler, J. R. Pheasant, James Krebs, W. H.
Stover and Dr. James A. Thompson.
Committee on Place of meeting, P. H.
Haupt, D. W. Miller, R. A. Cassidy, W.
S. Williams and A. V. Miller.

BAD AUTOMOBILE SMASHUP.—Shortly
before noon yesterday Harry Nighthart
left Bellefonte in his Ford car to take
two young men over to the picnic. On
the curve in the road opposite the Belle-
fonte fish hatchery stood an Overland
car with the driver repairing a blowout
Harry slowed down to stop and as he did
so a big car came racing around the curve
in a cloud of dust and collided with the
Nighthart car, tearing off the left front
wheel, breaking the spring and fender
and badly damaging it in other ways.
None of the occupants of the Nighthart
car were hurt but a boy standing on the
runboard of the big car was thrown
off and . badly bruised. He was
brought to - Bellefonte and fixed
up by a physician. Though the names

The latest Sunday school statistics
show Pennsylvania to be the greatest
Sunday school State in the Union. A

The Pennsylvania State Sabbath School
Association is closing its fifty-second year
of organized activity in stimulating Sun-
day school growth. This year the an-

Pa., October 6, 7, 8, and 9. The con-
vention is advertised as “A Convention
That’s Different.” Many new features
will be introduced.
Order Troops From VeraCruz
The President Says That Circum-
Circumstances Justifying Use of U.
S. Soldiers No Longer Exists.
President Wilson ordered American
soldiers withdrawn from Vera Cruz.
He issued the following statement:
“Our troops have been ordered
withdrawn from Vera Cruz. This ac
tion is taken in view of the entire re-
moval of the circumstahces which
were thought to justify the occupa-
tion. The further presence of the
troops is deemed unnecessary.”
It is understood that President Wil
son took this action on the unanimous
advice of the cabinet. Secretaries
Bryan, Garrison and Daniels joined in
the belief that the evacuation of Vera
Cruz would be a good stroke at the
present time. It would demonstrate
America’s good faith and confidence in
the present administration and would
have a good effect on the present del
icate situation in Mexico.
It is believed, also, that General

Carranza has frequently told Paul Ful.
ler, the president’s confidential agent
in Mexico City, that he would not
make any agreement with the United
States government regarding his fu-
ture conduct or policies until Vera
Cruz again became Mexican territory.
Reports are current in Washington
that recognition of the Carranza gov-
ernment will speedily follow the with-
drawal of troops from Vera Cruz.
These, however, cannot be confirmed
at the present time.
The United States forces were land-
ed at Vera Cruz on April 28, seven
days after Admiral Fletcher, in com-
mand of the American naval forces,
had seized the custom house there.
Fighting that followed the landing of
the marines and bluejackets cost the
lives of more than a score of the
American forces. The Mexicans suf-
fered much heavier loss.
About 10,000 United States troops
were sent from the camps in Texas
and nearly the same number was
available from the powerful battleship
squadron lying in front of the Mexican
port. General Frederick Funston, who
had distinguished himself in the Span-
ish-American war by capturing the
Filipino chief, Aguinaldo, is in com-
mand.
45 Drowned; Train Hits Cloudburst.
St. Louis and San Francisco train
No. 5, west bound, known as the
“Texas Limited,” plunged into a
cloudburst near Lebanon, 182 miles
southeast of St. Louis, and before the
engineman could stop the train the
track gave way and the locomotive
and four cars rolled into a ooded
gully. .
Thirty-five to forty-five persons in
two passenger coaches were drowned
and probably a score injured. The
four sleeping cars remained on the
track, and the passengers in those
coaches rushed forward to rescue tho
persons imprisoned in the cars sub-
merged in twelve feet of water.
The engineman, describing his ex-
periences, said that the train was run-
ning slowly when the cloudburst oc-
curred. A wall of water swept across
the track and appeared to be rushing
toward the train. He closed the throt-
tle in an effort to stop the: train, but
in a moment the locomotive and four
cars were swept from the rails.
Rebukes Turkish Ambassador.
President Wilson has sent a per-
letter to Secretary of State
Bryan, asking that the attention
of the Turkish ambassador, Rustem
Bey, be called to the president’s recent
statement to the people of the United
States on the subject of neutrality.
Published reports that the recall of
the ambassador was to be asked be-
cause of certain of his recent state-
ments were denied at the White
House and the state department.
The president asked the secretary
of state to learn if recent statements
in the newspapers were authorized by
the ambassador. Mr. Bryan saw the
ambassador and later talked with the
president.

Prince Joachim, who recently was
wounded while serving on the firing
: line, has been removed from the hos-

lin.
The empress met him at the sta-
tion and kissed him and embraced
him. She was much touched by the
Iron Cross which the prince already
! wore. He expressed anxiety to return
soon to the field.
Asquith Doubts Atrocities.
Premier Asquith told the house of
commons in London, Eng., that no of-
ficial information had reached the min-
istry of war concerning the repeated
stories that German soldiers had
abused the Red Cross flag, killed and
maimed the wounded and killed wo:
me nand children.
He added that his subject was un-
der consideration, and that an inquiry
was being made.
Japanese Admiral Jailed.
Admiral Koichi Fujii, who was ac-

for four years and six months in To-
kio, Japan.
