Van Tries, the well known retired physician of Bellefonte, is in the Municipal hospital, Atlantic City, very seriously ill with erysipelas. On the train going from Philadelphia to Atlantic City last Friday evening he suf- fered a slight stroke of paralysis and was taken to a hospital at Atlantic City and his son, Rev. William Potter Van Tries, of Altoona, notified. The stroke in itself was not so serious but erysipelas speedily developed and most of his face is affected with the disease. He is now in the Municipal hospital where everything pos- sible is being done for him, and while his condition is critical it is not entirely hopeless. Rev. Van Tries remained in Atlantic City until Wednesday evening when he returned to Altoona. ESCAPED PRISONER RECAPTURED.—Har- old Enfield, the Englishman who escaped from the western penitentiary at Rock- view last Wednesday night was re-cap- tured a short distance above Pleasant Gap, between two and three o’clock on Friday afternoon and brought to the Cen- tre county jail to await the action of the court. : Enfield’s escape was discovered at the penitentiary about nine o'clock on Wed- nesday evening and he evidently tramp- ed east through the fields to escape de- tection. At any rate between eleven and twelve o'clock that night he broke into the house occupied by Thaddeus Cross and family on the George R. Meek farm and stole an overcoat, pair of tan shoes and a derby hat belonging to William Cross, and a red sweater and pair of blue overalls belonging to a youth who is staying with the Cross family. While members of the family heard the man in the house they thought it was William returning from Bellefonte and made no investigation until they discovered the robbery the next morning. in search of food for members of the Cross family saw him in the orchard not far from the house about five o'clock Fri- day morning. He was seen about six o’clock in the neighborhood of Pleasant Gap and chief of police Harry Dukeman was notified. He in turn notified deputy warden William Daufenbaugh at the penitentiary and he at once sent five guards on a hunt for the man. Enfield probaby saw the guards first and disap- peared on the mountain where he kept in hiding until in the afternoon when hunger drove him out of shelter, and coming down off of the mountain he was taken in custody by A. W. Zettle and James W. Stover. Enfield made no re- sistance. The penitentiary authorities were notified and they went to the Gap and brought the man to the Centre coun- ty jail. When captured the man was wearing the sweater, aid at this writing the balance of the stuien clothes have not been recovered. Enfield, by the way, came to the Unit- ed States about ten years ago as a vau- deville actor, but the show business was evidently too slow for him and he took to robbery, finally develop ig into one of the smoothest diamond rubbers in tke country. In fact it took a half a dozen detectives almost a year to round him up in Pittsburgh. He was convicted May 19th, 1911, and sentenced to the peniten- tiary for not less than six nor more than thirty years. He was a model prisoner and would have been “paroled next fall. He was brought to the Rockview prison less than a month ago and during his first few days here injured himself by overlifting.. The injury is of such a na- ture as to require an operation and he was to have been taken to the hospital at the Pittsburgh penitentiary for the opera- tion and'treatment. Enfield gives this as the reason of his running away. That he did not want to go back to the Pitts- burgh institution for fear they would not return him to Centre county and he took a chance of getting’ away, though in his injured condition this was practically an impossibility. Enfield was taken before Judge Quig- ley on Wednesday morning and plead guilty in open court. He is a man of fair education and made an eloquent plea in his own behalf, stating that it was be- cause he did not want to go back to the Pittsburgh penitentiary hospital that he tried to escape. District Attorney James C. Furst stated that inasmuch as Enfield had always been a model prisoner the authorities did not ask the court to be severe in its sentence. After due consid- eration Judge Quigley sentenced him to not less than four years, nor more than thirty, to date from the expiration of the eleven months he still has to serve on his old sentence. Enfield was taken back to Pittsburgh the same afternoon. Tae CENTRE County W. C. T. U. CoNn- VENTION.—The thirty-first annual con- vention of the Centre county W. C. T. U. will be held next week at State College, Thursday and Friday, May 18th and 19th, in the Presbyterian church. An interesting program has been ar- ranged in which prominent members of the college faculty have kindly promised to participate, and good vocal and instru- mental music will be a feature. Mrs. Lora S. La Mance, National W. C. T."U. organizer and lecturer, of Mis- souri, will be the convention speaker. Mrs. La Mance is editor, author, travel er and campaigner, who has for years stirred and thrilled large audiences. Since 1906 she has been continuously on the lecture field and has taken part in most of the important Prohibition and Suffrage campaigns. She was chosen by the National W. C. T. U. to do pioneer work in Alaska. Her lectures have em- braced almost every part of the United States and Canada. x Lack of space prevents giving here the numerous favorable comments of the press of the various places where she has spoken, but all characterize her as one of the ablest of the many able women on the platform today. The reporters call her “A live wire.” Her dry humor and convincing and original way of pre- senting her subjects win her lasting praise. Visitors and non-members will be most welcome at the convention. The delegates and members will be entertain- ed by the State College Union. All of the latter who are coming will please no- tify Mrs. A. L. Wright, president of the State College Union.

A new style roof is being put on which will give more room on the third floor, a large conserva- tory is being built on the side and also a smoking room or den for Mr. Conley. A big, roomy porch will stretch along the entire front, and when painted and the finishing touches put on it will be not only one of handsomest residences in that neighborhood but one of the most convenient and home-like throughout.

His old cane has seen its best days and on account of its worn out condition is not safe for him to use. The tellefonte stores, Bill avers, do not keep the kind of a cane he needs and he don’t know where to send for one. Therefore any person who has one he is willing to give Bill can either hand it to him on ‘the street or leave it at Blair's jewelry store, and the favor will be greatly ap- preciated. —— ote ——At an enthusiastic meeting held in the court house Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Anna Wallace La Domus, state or- ganizer of the Pennsylvania Woman's Division of National Preparedness, or- ganized a Bellefonte branch to continue the work which is already well started in this community. Miss Anna Hoy was elected chairman; Mrs. John Curtin, treasurer, and Mrs. David Dale secretary, about fifty women in all being enrolled. The second lecture of the course was given by Dr. Huff, in the Armory last night, the third to be given by Dr. David Dale Thursday afternoon of next week, at 4.15, in the High school building. oan ——According to a letter received from our friend Philip D. Waddle, clerk at the Kensington hotel, New Kensington, the strike situation at that place has become somewhat serious. Last Wednesday the two thousand employees of the United States Aluminum company went on a strike and fearing trouble Burgess Danny Burns on Thursday requested all the hotels to close the doors of their bars and keep them closed until all danger of trouble was past. Burgess Burns, by the way, is an old Bellefonte boy but he has risen in the world to such prominence that he is now a candidate for the Demo- cratic State Central committee from Westmoreland county. ——On Monday, May 15th, at 8.00 p. m. a meeting will be held in the court house, under the auspices of the “Flying Squadron Foundation,” of Indianapolis, Indiana. At this meeting, Mrs. Katherine Oliver McCoy will render a dramatization of James Hay Jr's. remarkable story “The Man Who Forgot.” Mrs. McCoy’s inter- pretation of this tremendously interest- ing story is causing a sensation wherever it has been given and we cannot speak too highly of her ability as a reader and literary interpreter. She will be accom- panied by Rev. J. J. Davis, as soloist. The committee in charge consists of Miss Rhoads, Dr. Weston, Dr. Yocum, R. Bartlet, W. Straub, and Mrs. Parker. Admission free, and everybody invited. ——Miss Glenn, of Harrisburg, repre- senting the State Board of Education, was in Bellefonte Wednesday to appear with a committee of Centre county wom- en before the Board of Commissioners, in the interest of the widow’s pension bill. The committee included Mrs. Leathers, of Howard; Mrs. Gardner, of State College; Mrs. Brouse, Mrs. Beach, Mrs. Keller and Miss Meek, of Belle- fonte. This pension is now in use in twenty-nine counties in the State and should our Commissioners in their good judgment accept the appropriation for | Centre county, it would help solve the serious problem which is now facing a ‘aumber of our worthy women in their struggle to keep a home for their chil- dren. : ee AAA —— ——On Friday afternoon C. M. Muffly, of Howard, driving a Dodge car and with his daughter, Miss Anna, on the seat be- side him, went up High street to Spring and then turned south ahead of George Lose, who was also driving up High in the buggy. Justas Mr. Muffly made the turn he was confronted with the Gross Bros. delivery wagon going north. He turned sharply to the right to avoid a collision with either one of the rigs and then was unable to turn the steering wheel quick enough to right the car on the street with the result that it ran in- to the gutter head-on against a tree in front of Dr. Rogers’ office. Miss Muffly was thrown against the windshield with terrific force, shattering the glass and badly injuring her about ine face. Her nose was broken, three teeth knocked out and she sustained a cut on the chin that required four stitches to close, as well as bad bruises on the eyes-and fore- head. Fortunately her injuries were not of a serious nature. - Mr. Muffly was un- injured and aside from a broken wind- shield the car seemed little damaged, as it backed out of the gutter under its own power. ALL CASES AGAINST DAGGETT AND! JusTicE DisMissED. — Last week the WATCHMAN told of the arrest of W. L. Daggett, landlord of the Bush house, and John Justice, bartender, on the charge of ! selling liquor to minors, the information ! having been made by James R. Hughes, | headmaster of the Bellefonte Academy. The information was made before justice of the peace S. Kline Woodring and a hearing was held in his office on Wed- nesday evening which resulted in the dismissal of all the complaints and the discharge of both Mr. Daggett and Mr. Justice. E- Mr. Hughes’ information included four distinct and separate cases, and justice Woodring decreed that each ene should be heard separately and disposed of one way or another. The first one taken up was one in which Millard I. Watson, of Jersey Shore, was specially interested. He testified to being a student of the Bellefonte Academy; that he was fifteen years old on December 9th, 1915, and that on November 5th, 1915, on his way back to the Academy after the Thanks- giving vacation he walked into the Bush house bar room and purchasedand drank a gin rickey. He positively declined to recognize the bartender who sold him the drink and ‘stated that Mr. Daggett was not present at the time. He also admit- ted that he had confessed to getting the drink about a week and a-half later when taken by Mr. Hughes in front of the dis- trict attorney, who he said was J. C. Furst. In his own defense Mr. Daggett was called and testified that his bartenders had been given instructions quite fre- quently not to sell to minors or men of intemperate habits and he believed they had not done so. This case was discharg- ed by justice Woodring for lack of evi- dence. : : The second case taken up was one in which Clyde Fawcett, of St. Michaels, was the chief witness. His testimony was in effect that he had purchased a half pint of whiskey at the Bush house bar on the night of February 18th, but he declined to identify Mr. Justice as the man who sold it to him. His testimony was unsupported by any witness who saw him get the alleged whiskey, and this case was also discharged for lack of evidence. At this juncture in the proceedings W. D. Zerby Esq, who represented Mr. Hughes, announced that while they had two other cases, it was hardly worth while presenting them under the position taken by justice Woodring and the latter promptly announced that Mr. Daggett and Mr. Justice were discharged on all cases; and the county wili have to pay the costs. HiGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ANNUAL PLay—A full house and an abundance of appreciation greeted the Bellefonte High school students in their fifth an- nual play at Garman’s on Friday even- ing. “The Man on the Box,” was the three act comedy and the skill with which each one took their part on Friday night would lead one to believe that the people of Centre Hall did not fully appreciate the art of the young actors and actresses when they tried it in that place sev- eral weeks ago, else there would have been more paid admissions. Anyone who has read the story of “The Man on the Box” knows that it is replete with comic and dramatic situa- tions and in their individual parts the students succeeded in making the most of each one of them. As “Miss Betty Amnesley” Pauline Johnston was all that could be desired while Allen McClellan was inimitable as the hero of the play, “Lieut. Robert Warburton”. William Schmidt made a splendid “Magistrate Watts” while many flattering comments were heard on the way Anne Shaughnessy played the part of “Mrs. Conway.” In fact the entire cast, which included in addition to the above William Malone, Leslie Cronister, Philip Barnhart, Russell Lowery, Eleanor Bower, Charles Doll, Lee Frazier, Swengel Smith, Louise Wal- lace, Joseph Wagner and John Smith, took their part with apparent ease and it was this smoothness of concertedlaction which made the play so successful. : The young players were drilled by Miss Maude Bear, who is an adept in such work, and to her untiring en- deavors a big part of the credit must be given. The manager was Collins Shoe- maker ’19. The stage settings. were un- usually appropriate and attractive and to William Schmidt belongs the credit for having planned and successfully carried out the brilliant electrical effects. : Wil- liam is a regular wizard when it comes to handling electricity, and knows just how to get best results. The gross receipts of the house were $185.00, which will leave the school over one hundred dollars clear. ——During the past two or three years the borough council has been oiling cer- tain streets if the residents along the street purchased the oil. They are will- ing to do the same thing this year and now have an offer to get a tank car of oil at about two-thirds what the oil costs in barrels. This will be enough to oil all the principal streets in Bellefonte for the entire year and keep down the dust nuisance. But it will be up to the pub- lic generally to buy the oil. If the resi- dents on any street in Bellefonte want it oiled and are willing to pay for the oil they should at once notify Hard P. Har- ris, chairman of the Street committee, NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Miss Nancy Burrows, of Tyrone, was a guest for the week-end of Mr. and Mrs. H. N. Crider. 3 —MTrs.
