Held Up and Robbed.
“Big Bill Hollenbach, former coach
of the Penn State football team, and
who is very well known in Bellefonte,
and Mrs. Walter L. Ziegler, of Ger-
mantown, were held up last Friday
night by a bold, bad highwayman and
robbed of about $400 in money and
jewelry. The following account of the
hold-up is taken from the Philadel-
phia “Sunday North American.”
The hold-up occurred within a short
distance of the Whitemarsh Country
. Club, above Chestnut Hill, where Mrs.
Ziegler and Hollenback were attend-
ing a dinner-dance.
Mrs. Ziegler and her escort, during
an intermission, strolled through the
club’s grounds. At a point fifty yards
distance from the club house the faint
strains of dance music were inter-
rupted by the demand, “Stand where
you are!” Eo
Hollenback thought it was another
guest playing a joke on them, and
made a move to discover the identity
of the man who had halted them.
Then a flashlight was thrust in the
big athlete’s face, and the man de-
manded: “Just walk in front of me
and drop your valuables, and don’t
make any noise.”
The gleaming barrel of a revolver
lent emphasis to the hold-up man’s
demands, and “Bill” decided it was no
joke. He removed $6 from his pock-
etbook and placed it on the grass. It
was joined by two of his rings, and
while he was fumbling with his watch,
Mrs. Ziegler had placed a solid gold
meshbag and a vanity case, valued at
$200 with the other valuables on the
lawn. Then Mrs. Ziegler tried to un-
fasten a diamond brooch from her
throat. With presence of mind, she
slipped two of her rings into her dress
front.
But the robber saw the move, “I'll
have to search you,” he said. It was
then that Mrs. Ziegler ran screaming
towards the clubhouse. The music
stopped suddenly, seventy men and
women in evening dress came scurry-
ing from the clubhouse, and the hold-
up man, grabbing up the $400 worth
of loot from the ground, decided to
leave. .
With lights from the clubhouse, the
guests groped about over the lawn for
half an hour in the hope that the rob-
ber might have left some of the valu-
ables behind. They found nothing.
The episode ended the dance, and
when Mr. and Mrs. Ziegler reached
home they notified the police. Hollen-
‘back borrowed some car fare to reach
his home at the Normandie Apart-
ments, corner Thirty-sixth and Chest-
nut streets.

Picturing Ford’s Theatre Scene.
A kind of artistic achievement
easy for the film, but impossible for
“indoor drama” is illustrated by
the Ford’s theatre scene in “The
Birth of a Nation,” at Garman’s
May 31st and June 1st. The old
fashioned drama has long attempted
to represent a stage within a stage,
and some of such representations
have been rather realistic. But in
the film scene showing the assassina-
tion of President Lincoln, one sees
not only the complete stage of Ford's
theatre in April, 1865, but also the
auditorium of the theatre, the audi-
ence and the historical figures in the
boxes.

Dundreary. They are startled out
.of their mimic parts by the shot that
Wilkes Booth fired. The audience
has risen to its feet as the shot is
heard and cranes forward in a semi-
panic to gaze at the great statesman
whose head has fallen back in the
stage box and at the assassin Booth
who is leaping from the box to the
stage and whose spur catches in the
box draperies as he jumps, causing
him to break his leg. ?

SIX BAWDITS AE SLAW
Glenn Springs Raiders Are Reported
Badly Punished by Major Lang-
horne’s Men.
Major General Funston received a re-
port from Colonel Frederick W. Sibley
that Jesse Deemer and his colored
cook, Payne, who were carried off by
Mexican bandits during the raid upon
Glenn Springs and Boquillas, Texas,
on the night of May 5, have been res-
cued, unharmed, by the troopers under
Major*G. T. Langhorne, who crossed
the border after them a week ago.
At the same time an unconfirmed
report was received from Marathon,
Texas, that Langhorne’s force of 200
cavalrymen, pressing their pursuit,
had overtaken the bandits near La-
gunda del Franco, 105 miles south of
the border, and attacked them, Mon-
day, killing six Mexicans and captur-
ing seventy-five.
The rescue of Deemer and Payne
alive, Colonel Sibley said in his re-
port, was due to the refusal of resi-
dents of El Paso, a village where they
had been left, some ninety miles south
of the border, to carry out orders of
the bandits who had captured them,
to kill the Americans if the United
States troops should attempt their
rescue.
The bandits had left El Paso some
hours before the American troops ar-
rived, and only unarmed natives were
found in the place. Deemer and Payne,
it is understood, are being sent back
to the border.
Report of the engagement with the
bandits was taken to Marathon by a
motor truck driver connected with the
Sibley expedition. Military officers
have as yet received no word of the
action, but in view of Major Lang-
horne’s announced intention to pursue
the outlaws, they are inclined to give
it credence.
According to the truck driver, Ma-
jor Langhorne received word of the
bandits’ location from Mexicans at
Cerra Blanco, after the rescue of Dee-
mer and Payne, on Sunday. Guided
by a friendly Mexican, a forced march
was then begun. All night the horses
were urged forward.
The following afternoon, the Ameri-
cans sighted the bandits in a small
canych near Fresno lake. They were
resting, sprawled at full length on the
ground, their horses tethered nearby.
Major Langhorne distributed his
forces so quietly that not until the
Mexicans were surrounded did they
become aware of the American troop-
ers. The Mexicans were dumbfound-
ed. A dozen made a dash for their
horses. There was a rattle of fire
from American rifles and six fell. The
rest were cowed and threw down their
arms without further resistance. The
prisoners, it was stated, would be
brought to Texas for trial.
Colonel Sibley, in his report, said he
was preparing to send forward as
rapidly as possible hay and grain for
the horses and mules. Colonel Sibley
sent his report from a point about
forty miles south of the border.
A posse is pursuing two Mexicans
who, on Tuesday, killed Jarvis D.
Harp, a Crockett county rancher. The
horses taken from his ranch were
found some distance from his® home.
It is said Harp quarreled with the
Mexicans when they stopped at his
ranch and that they then shot him.
FEDERAL MOVIE BILL IN
Censorship and License Measure Re-
ported to the House.
The Hughes bill providing federal
censorship of motion pictures was re-
ported to the house by the house edu-
cation committee, with the recommen-
dation that it be adopted.
The bill provides for a federal mo-
tion picture commission of five mem-
bers, with officials here, and power to
appoint necessary deputy commission-
ers throughout the country. Under the
bill all films must be licensed by this
commission before they can be ship-
ped from one state to another. Orig-
inal film licenses will cost $2 a thou-
sand feet, and duplicates fifty cents.
News films depicting current events,
may be granted a license so they may
be exhibited immediately after being
made, with provision that such a li-
cense may be revoked if abused.
Prize fight and bull fight pictures
are barred from licenses.
