HAWES MAY LEAVE BELLEFONTE. — On Wednesday of last week a committee from the Market Square Presbyterian church of Harrisburg came to Bellefonte to interview Dr. George E. Hawes on the momentous : question as to whether he would consider a call to become the pas- tor of that church. It appears that at least on two occasions members of the Market Square church have been in Bellefonte and heard Dr. Hawes preach and went home exceptionally well pleas- ——A monster trout, variously esti- mated by those who have been watching it at from twenty-four to thirty inches in length, bas been making his habitation | €d With him. the past ten days in the deep water just|.

This will mean that during the coming summer all the workmen employed there, whether skilled mechanics or la- borers, will have to be American born or naturalized citizens. The prisoners, es- pecially the foreign element, will be used on the farms and road building through the five thousand acres of land owned by the State. —1In planning for your spring house- cleaning, do not lose sight of the fact that the week beginning with Monday, 10th of May, has been set aside for Belle- fonte’s Municipal house-cleaning.

Lane and son Elliott will be interested in learning that they are now at Hamp- ton Springs, Florida, having gone there from Suanee Springs over two weeks ago on account of the hotel at the latter place not opening until May first. Hamp- ton Springs is not far from the Gulf of Mexico and Mrs. Lane and Elliott spend considerable time fishing. On Wednes- day of last week Elliott shot a large sea gull which he intends having mounted and sent home, as itis a fine specimen. Both he and Mrs. Lane are improving in health and expect to return to Bellefonte in the best of health, Elliott having gain- ed four pounds in four days. ——Charles Watson, of Clarence, came to Bellefonte on Tuesday evening to take in the Mutt and Jeff show and when he went to buy tickets for himself and sev- eral friends he found his pocketbook containing $84.00 missing. His first thought was that he had lost it on the train and he started down High street hot foot to make a search. On the way he met policeman Dukeman and told him of his loss, hut just then a thought struck him. At Snow Shoe he had gone into that new First National bank to deposit some money and it flashed through his mind that he might have left his pocket- book on the desk. Going into the Elks he called up the Mountain house and asked for Cashier McDowell and when ‘he got him that gentleman very calmfy told him that he had his pocketbook and money; so that although a little incon. venienced Charlie was relieved to know that his eighty-four was safe. —eoe BiG RUSH FOR NATURALIZATION. —Pro- thonotary David R. Foreman was a busy man on Monday making out papers for foreigners clamoring for naturalization. Davy Chambers, of Clarence, fathered a bunch of twenty-five who came in from Clarence to take out papers. Seventeen of the above number took out papers of naturalization, six took out their first papers declaring their intention of be- coming American citizens and the other two could not be attended to that day. On Saturday two foreigners who have been working at the new Penitentiary went to the prothonotary’s office and took out their first papers declaring their intention to become American citizens, This was brought about by the Act of the Legislature passed last week forbid- ding the employment of any but Ameri. can citizens in the construction of the new penitentiary. Naturclization court will be held in June. i WAGNER AND GORDON HELD FOR | COURT, WYLAND DISCHARGED. —Joseph : Wagner and Henry Gordon, of Belle- | ' fonte, and George Wyland, of Milesburg, arrested last week on the charge of rob- | bing the Milesburg Store company, at Milesburg, on Saturday night, March 6th, were given a hearing before "Squire | Henry D. Brown, last Friday afternoon, | i and after hearing the evidence the Squire ; discharged Wyland and held Wagner and | Gordon without bail for trial at court. | | Both were remanded to jail. ! The evidence on which the two men { were held was principally the confession i | under oath at the hearing. He averred | that the three of them were at Moersch- ; bacher’s restaurant and finally decided | to go to Lock Haven, by walking to Snow | Shoe Intersection and jumping a freight. {On the way down to Milesburg, he al- i leged, Wyland sprung a proposition to rob the Milesburg Store company,’ but when they got to the old chain works he left them and went with two other men whom he did not know. Wagner claim- ed he and Gordon went on to Milesburg and after loitering around for some time went to the Milesburg Store company; that Gordon broke open the door with his shoulder and they both entered. He got two watches, a pair of hose suppor- ters and four or five cigars, but didn't know what Gordon got. Leaving the Store company they returned to Belle- fonte by way of the railroad, parting company at the round house below town He exonerated Wyland from any partici- pation in the crime. Gordon was also put under oath and after admitting that he had been in | Milesburg denied emphatically that he "had had anything to do with the robbery. | He declared that they had all been drink- i ing and that he had part of a bottle of whiskey with him. After he reached Milesburg he started for Snow Shoe In- tersection to jump a train for Lock Ha- ven. On the way he took a drink of water and that made him quite sick, and as his whiskey was running low he de- cided to return to Bellefonte, and started up the railroad, finally meeting Wagner, and the two returned to Bellefonte. Gor- don further stated that he wouldn’t be so foolish as to attempt to rob the store, because he “knew they never left much money in the safe at night, and he wouldn’t have robbed it anyway.” After hearing the above evidence Squire Brown discharged Wyland and held the other two for trial. IMPORTANT DECISION BY JUDGE ORvIs. —Judge Ellis L. Orvis on Saturday hand- ed down an opinion in the case of Ches- he sustained the contention of the plain- tiff and ordered judgmententered against the defendant in the sum of $178.00. Mr. Barnes is assessor in the South ward of Bellefonte. When he made his returns for 1914 he demanded pay at the rate of $3.50 per day, in accordance with the Act of the Legislature approved June 25th, 1913, increasing the pay of assess- ors in townships of the second class from $2.50 to $3.50 per day. The county com- missioners declined payment on that ba- sis on the grounds that the Act did not specify boroughs. The assessors in all the boroughs in the county were treated likewise, and in order to get an amicable adjustment of the matter it was arranged that Mr. Barnes should bring a test case. In his decision Judge Orvis pointed out that a former Act had fixed the pay of assessors in cities and townships of the first class, and that all Acts of the Legislature regulating other matters in townships of the second class always in- cluded boroughs, and he was therefore compelled to construe the Act of 1913 in the same way; hence his decision in fa- vor of the plaintiff. The county commissioners the same day entered an appeal from the court’s decision, and the question will likely be taken to a higher court for a final deci- sion. *ow To CELEBRATE THE FOURTH.—A public meeting of the citizens of Bellefonte will be held in the court house next Wednes- day evening, March 24th, at 8-0’clock, to arrange tentative plans for a big Fourth of July celebration. It has been a num- ber of years since Bellefonte has had what might be termed a big Fourth, and while it may seem a little early to begin planning now, it is none too soon to start the ball rolling if the celebration is to be made one of great magnitude. It takes time to work up any kind of a celebra- tion and the bigger the event is to be the more time it will take to prepare for it. It must be borne in mind that a big cele- bration does not necessarily mean that it will not be a safe and sane F ourth, so that there need be no holding back on this account. Therefore be at the court house next Wednesday evening and do what you can toward the movement. ORCHARD DEMONSTRATIONS.—The foot and mouth disease in some portions of Pennsylvania has curtailed the orchard demonstrations carried on by the State Department of Agriculture, but such demonstrations will be conducted this spring in those counties of the State in in which the disease does not exist. Two such demonstrations will be held in Cen- tre county next week, by T. C. Foster, as follows: Monday, March 22nd, on the farm of N. C. Neidigh, at State College. Wednesday, March 24th, on the farm of Miss Elizabeth D. Green, at Fillmore. ——They are all good enough, but the WATCHMAN is always the best.
