WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE CONVENTION.—
The second convention of the Woman's
Suffrage party of Centre county was
held in the High school building on Sat-
urday afternoon at 3 o’clock. It was
well attended, about half the women
present being out of town delegations.
Mrs. Elizabeth Blanchard Beach, chair-
man of the Woman’s Suffrage party of
Centre county, presided. The reports of
the borough and township leaders were
most interesting, many of the women
giving their reports extempore, and ina
quiet, feminine manner.
Miss Florence Rhone, daughter of Hon.
Leonard Rhone, famed for his connec-
tion with the Centre county Grange, told
of the favorable attitude of the Grange
toward the suffrage resolution, this or-
gahization having endorsed woman's suf-
frage for ten years.
Mrs. Gardiner, vice chairman of the
State College branch, gave assurance of
the favorable attitude of the men toward
the issue, her pithy remarks and kindly
sentiment expressed toward those who
opposed the movement assured all that
there were no methods of force being
used in Centre county. In fact it is not
necessary to even consider such methods
as Miss Esther Gray, from Stormstown,
very naively affirmed, “that we have all
the best men with us, and that the others
don’t seem to count.”
Miss Shipley, of Unionville, said she
has been led to think of men as voters,
as she is so impressed by the fact of our
not being allowed to vote. Reports were
heard from twelve boroughs and town-
ships, all except three having sent dele-
gates.
Miss MacAlarney, from Harrisburg,
gave many good suggestions for doing
efficient work, and invoked the women
to work quietly, remembering the golden
quality of silence.

MOTHER PHEASANT ATTACKS HORSE.—
A few days ago Clyde Bradford, of Cen-
tre Hall, was hauling cement up the
mountain to repair the old reservoir of
the Centre Hall water company. He
happened to stop his horse near a bunch
of underbrush where a pheasant was
nesting on six little birds. Hardly had
he stopped when the mother pheasant
flew up and, alighting on the horse's
head, began beating with its ~ wings'and’
pecking at the animal’s eyes with all the
vigor of a dangerous wild bird. The
horse shook its head in an effort to shake
the pheasant off and before Bradford
had time to do anything the animal be-
gan to plunge and kick and finally reared
and backed wagon and all down over the
side of the mountain. Bradford had
jumped from the wagon and escaped the
consequences of its descent among the
trees and underbrush, and he wasted
little time in getting away ffom such
close proximity to the pheasant’s nest,
lest he be the next to feel its protecting
vengeance.
a
FLAG DAY OBSERVED.—Flag day was
observed in Bellefonte on Monday with
a liberal display of the national emblem.
Flags were flung to the breeze from
many of the business places and a num-
ber of the private residences in the town.
The Bellefonte Lodge of Elks not only
displayed three large flags in front of
their home but had the interior profuse-
ly decorated with flags, bunting and
roses. In the evening a public meeting
was held at the Lodge at which Dr.
Robert Mills Beach made a very inter-
esting address, giving a brief history of
the flag and urging his hearers to a high-
er patriotism and deeper veneration for
the Stars and Stripes. The doctor’s talk
was greatly appreciated by all who heard
it.

SHIRT FACTORY AGAIN IN OPERATION.—
The Bellefonte shirt factory was put in
operation last week after about fifteen
month’s idleness on account of lack of
orders. During the shut down the factory
was moved from the second story of the
Lauderbach—Barber company building
to a new building erected by the propri-
etor, S. D. Ray, un his property on south
Water street. At present twelve ma-
chines are in operation and as fast as
business warrants it other machines will
be started. The plant is better equipped
now than ever, having a capacity of about
sixty machines, and work can be turned
out expeditiously. At present shirts
are the only articles of wearing apparel
being made.
PENNSYLVANIA INDUSTRIAL REFORMA-
TORY.—The exercises connected with the

scent on the trapper and trailing him to

PENITENTIARY CONSOLIDATION BILL
SIGNED.—Governor Brumbaugh on Mon-
day signed the Hess bill consolidating the
eastern and the western penitentiary
into one institution to be known as the
State Penitentiary and to be located on
the present site of the western peniten-
tiary at Rockview, Centre county. While
the bill carries with it no appropriation
the signing of it by the Governor will
mean that all buildings erected at the
new penitentiary in the future will be
planned on a scale sufficiently large to
accommodate the demands of the combin-
ed institutions. The Governor last week
signed the bill giving the western peni-
tentiary the right of eminent domain for
the purpose of acquiring more land if at
any time it is needed, but the probability
is that it will be many years before the
institution will require more land than
now forms the penitentiary site.
With his approval of the bill Governor
Brumbaugh filed the following statement
of his reasons for so doing:
“This bill is a step in the carrying out
of a comprehensive plan, based upon hu-
mane and economic principles, for the
mental, moral and physical betterment of
the Commonwealth's criminals. It con-
templates a saving to the taxpayers of
67 counties of the State upwards of one-
third of a million dollars annually.
“Even with the most efficient. and hu-
mane management, it has been impos-
sible to make enlightened provision for
the prisoners in the old penitentiaries in
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Room was
lacking, and to sccure this in such con-
gested surroundings, where land is held
at prohibitive prices, was out of the
question. The merging of the two old
penitentiaries into a great central institu-
tion in the centre of the Commonwealth,
in surroundings such as there exist, will
make it possible to preserve the moral
and physical health of the inmates, and
to maintain a prison system by which
many of the men will be reclaimed and
converted into useful citizens.
i “Not even the most diligent efforts of
; the most high-minded management are of
! much effect in such quarters as those
| to which the penitentiaries have been lim-
ited. The prisoners are crowded together
in close confinement, physically contami-
nated by their environment and morally
contaminated by one another. The pres-
ent bill looks to the correction of these
conditions.
as the plan is worked out. To maintain
separate penitentiaries where so excel-
bine them would be a manifest error.”
“While it is true, as suggested by some
critics, that the placing of the combined
prisons in Centre county will likely result
in fewer visits from the friends of those
inmates whose homes are in the south-
eastern corner of the State, it is submit-
ted that this should have no weight
against the advantages which must be
conceded. To cause the friends of Phila-
delphia prisoners to travel to Centre
county, in order to visit them, differs only
in the number of prisoners involved and
not in principle, from the present neces-
sity for the friends of prisoners who live
{in Mifflin or Union or Lycoming or Tioga |-
ii, counties, to journey to Philadelphia. A
large proportion of the prisoners (and
this is especially true” of ‘prisoners sen-
'tenced from the large centres of popula-
tion) do not ‘have families or relatives,
nor do they have friends whose visits
are to be encouraged.
“From the standpoint of the family
or of the friend who has the interests of
the prisoners at heart, surely there is
little ground for hesitation between the
convenience of easily visiting a prisoner
confined under present conditions and the
satisfaction of knowing that he is in
such an environment that, when finally
liberated, he may be turned back to his
friends and to the world with mental,
physical and moral strength, giving him
a fair chance to become a good and use-
ful citizen.
A statement by warden John Francies
was filed in which he said:
The State owns 5,254 acres of fine land
in Centre county and on it are found
practically all of the material needed for
the construction of the buildings.
The water supply is ample and the
ground is of such a character as to be
available for farming and fruit raising.
The revenue from the sale of the two
old penitentiaries, Francies says, will
be very large and will produce a fund
far in excess of the money necessary to
build the one penitentiary. In conclu-
sion he says that “if the combining of the
penitentiaries is ever to be carried out,
it is of the utmost importance that we
pow have the legislation provided in this

A BLACKSNAKE MOUNTED A SPEEDING
TourING CAR.—While .speeding down
the Bald Eagle valley road, a day or so
ago the occupants of the Hon. A. G. Mor-
ris touring car were given a momentary
fright by a big blacksnake. The reptile
which was over five feet long undertook
to cross the road just ahead of the car.
It was so close that the chauffeur cer-
tainly thought he had run over it so you
can imagine the consternation there was
when suddenly the head of the snake
appeared in a menacing manner sticking
up over the front fender of the car. A
hasty stop and examination revealed the
snake coiled about the fender irons and
apparently unburt. :
How it got onto the rapidly moving
car is a mystery.
——Clay Hoston, the negro who early
in 1914 stabbed and killed J. A. Dunkle,
of Karthaus, with a hunting knife, will
likely cheat the electric chair of a victim.
At the May, 1914, term of court in Clear-
field he was convicted of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to electrocu-
tion. He is now dangerously ill with a
disease that is a menace to the other
prisoners in the Clearfield county jail and
has been removed to the jail barn where
a temporary cell has been installed and
the man is kept under guard night and
day. His death is likely to occur at any
time. The killing was the result of the
negro and the white man being infatuat-
ed with a certain woman. !

Mountain Gun club does not boast of a

fact can be verified by those who attend-

NATURALIZATION COURT.—Judge Orvis
sitting in naturalization court on Tuesday,
made citizens of the United States at the
rate of about four an hour. In other
words, out of a list of twenty-three appli-
cants eighteen were granted papers of
citizenship, one was refused on a legal
technicality and four were continued.
F. S. Becker, of Philadelphia, special ex-
aminer for the United States government,
was present and he made it as thorny a
road to travel as possible for the would-
be American citizens, but notwithstand-
ing that fact the court passed eighteen.
One of the incidents was when the ex-
aminer asked one of the men who made
the laws and he replied“Penrose. ”“Thats
about right,” said the examiner. The

papers with their nationality and present
residence is as follows:

PLEASANT GAP TO HAVE A NEW STORE.
—The building boom at Pleasant Gap
that has been attracting so much atten-
tion during the past year has had the in-
evitable result of enticing mercantile es-
tablishments to the thriving village. The
latest venture in this line is being made
by Steinberg Bros., who are building a
24x60 building on the Gettig property
just off the “old Swaney Corner.” We
understand that they expect to open a
general store there just as soon as the
building is completed.
