——Conductor Amberson Hoff has
been transferred from Tyrone to
Snow Shoe and has moved his family
to the latter place.
—Coming to the opera house on
Monday, March 4th, Chas. M. Hinton,
appearing in the “Ace of Hearts,”
with real pretty girls, who can sing
and dance with such grace and charm
that you will want to see them. It is
a real musical comedy.
The Bellefonte High school
boys’ basket ball team was defeated
by the Tyrone High school five, on
the Y. M. C. A. floor Saturday night,
by the score of 28 to 15. Decker,
playing centre on the Bellefonte team,
made every point of Bellefonte’s score.
——Among the contributions to the
St. John's home for boys and St Ma-
ry’shome for girls, Catholic institu-
tions at Cresson, were a pail of candy
and groceries from St. John’s parish,
- Bellefonte, and a large box of dry
goods and clothing from the Dorcas
society.
——The time for taking out war
risk insurance has been extended to
April 12th, 1912, and as the govern-
ment offers to insure men in the serv-
ice at rates lower than any reputable
life insurance company can offer, it
is to the interest of the families and
friends of enlisted men to urge them
to take out insurance.
—Trains on the Lewisburg and
Tyrone railroad were held up over
two hours on Monday afternoon be-
cause of a freight wreck in the Pad-
dy mountain tunnel, occasioned by the
engine jumping the track. The wreck
was cleared up and passenger train
west reached Bellefonte between seven
and eight o’clock in the evening.
Raymond R. Jenkins, who has
recently been with the Philadelphia
branch of the General Electric com-
pany, has been transferred to Wash-

the U. S. government, consisting of a
great deal of the electrical equip-
ment for the army cantonments and
camps both in this country and in
France. . |
——County superintendent David
O. Etters is on the last lap of his
term as superintendent of public
schools of Centre county, and it will
be up to the school directors of the
county to elect a superintendent on
the first Tuesday of May. Mr. Etters,
naturally, is a candidate to succeed
himself while one or two others are

the Scenic virtually outdid its reputa-
tion in the big program of motion pic-
tures presented this week it will con-
tinue to show good pictures next week
and every week thereafter. Manager
T. Clayton Brown believes in giving
Bellefonters the most up-to-date pic-
tures obtainable and to this end has
made arrangements for the produc-

which he will exhibit from time to

Only four members showed up
for the regular meeting of council on
Monday evening and as this number
did not constitute a quorum no meet-
ing was held. Burgess W. Harrison
Walker was present with several im-
portant propositions to bring before
the borough law makers but as no of-
ficial session was held he had no op-
portunity of making his desires
known. This was the second regular
meeting that went by default owing
to the absence of a quorum.
Dr. Frederick A. Dale in charge
of the medical depot of the United
States army at Manila, Philippine
Islands, underwent an examination
early in January for promotion from
lieutenant colonel to colonel, and has
quite likely been given his promotion
by this time. His many Centre coun-
ty friends will be glad to learn of his
advancement another point in Uncle
Sam’s military service, as the doctor
is just as important a part of the
United States army as the man who
carries the gun.
The “Watchman” last week told
the story of the fence unearthed in
Lock Haven by chief of police Harry
Dukeman and constable W. W. Pet-
tingill when the former went there on
the search of some wearing apparel
stolen out at Clarence. The alleged
proprietor of the fence, Oscar J. An-
drews, pleaded innocence but when
taken before alderman John P. Antho-
ny for a hearing he plead guilty. On
Saturday he was sentenced by Judge
McCorrcick to pay a fine of $100 and
costs and in default of same was sent
to jail for ninety days.
There are at least a few peo-
ple in Bellefonte who are taking the
“Watchman’s” advice and will store
their own ice this winter instead of
taking a chance on getting it next
summer, when the scarcity of ammo-
nia may result in the enforced clos-
ing of the artificial ice plants. Among
the number who thus believe in hus-
banding the natural ice supply are
landlord August Glinz, of the Garman
house, who had his old ice house
cleaned out and will put away eighty
to one hundred tons, and Hugh N.
Crider and Judge Quigley, who will
fill the old ice house at the former's
home. A number of others who have
ice houses have had them filled al-
ready.

While the water kept creeping up all Wednesday night families were

Yesterday afternoon the streets were still frozen over so that boats could
not be run to carry succor to the marooned and the ice was not thick enough
to make walking on it possible, except at great risk of breaking through. On
west Main street a party of citizens broke up the ice in order that they could
get out to the hill district in the vicinity of the Normal school. In fact that
is the only section of the city that is not inundated.
The worst part of it all is that they can’t tell when the critical situation
will be relieved. While the river is not raising any more the ice gorge is still
holding so tight that the back water fell only about 3 inches all day yesterday.
Unless the gorge breaks or is blown out there can be little prospect of relief

The Buffalo Run got so high that
it overflowed its banks and ran over
the tracks of the Pennsylvania rail-

E. S. Bennett Sues C. W. Corman for
Price of Ccal.
before Squire S. Kline Woodring at
eleven o’clock yesterday morning be-
tween E. S. Bennett, doing business
as a miner and shipper of coal dn
Snow Shoe township, and C. W. Cor-
man, of Milesburg, a dealer in coal.
From the evidence submitted by
Mr. Bennett it appears that during
the latter part of January Mr. Cor-
man telephoned him for a car load of
coal. He at first told him that he
could not give it but being urged to
do ‘so he claims that he told him that
the price would be $4.00 a ton f. o. b.,
and on being asked the quality he said
that the coal was not the best neither
was it the worst. The coal was ship-
ped to Mr. Corman on the 8th of Feb-
ruary and he accepted it.
Last Friday morning Mr. Bennett
came to Milesburg went to Mr. Cor-
man and got his check for the coal
but when he came to Bellefonte and
went to the bank to get it cashed he
was informed that payment had been
stopped. He then brought suit to en-
force payment.
Mr. Corman testified that the coal
was so full of slate and dirt that it
could not be used with any degree of
satisfaction and he had a score of
witnesses present, in people who had
purchased some of the coal to prove
his statement.

CHAOS WROUGHT WHEN ORDER
SOUGHT.
State College Students Clash With
Nittany Theatre Management.
Because the management of the
Nittany theatre at State College re-
quisitioned the services of three
state constabulary on Wednesday
night of last week in an effort to con-
duct an orderly house the State Col-
lege students left the theatre in a
body and committed acts of depreda-
tion to private property which result-
ed in three of them being arrested on
the charge of boisterous riot.
The theatre is leased and operated
by Morris Baum, who had as his man-
ager the past two years Linn Black-
ford. During his management the
students were accorded the first show
every evening when they could josh
the movie actors and actresses to their
heart’s content, eat peanuts and
throw the shells on the floor, etc.
Some time ago Mr. Blackford resign-
ed as manager and Ralph Edmunds,
a former manager of the Little thea-
tre, Philadelphia, was secured to take
-| charge.
In an attempt to conduct an orderly
house at all times Mr. Edmunds put
out a program on Monday night of
last week in which he demanded good
order at all times. When the show
opened on Monday evening the stu-
dents conducted themselves as for-
merly, if anything probably more
boisterous, though doing no actual
harm. Tuesday was fuelless day and
the theatre was closed. A matinee
was billed for Wednesday afternoon
but it was not given and the theatre
kept closed owing to a rumor that
the students had intended rushing the
place. Wednesday evening when the
students gathered for the first show
they were confronted by the three
state policemen.
When the house was well filled one
student arose and spoke the one word
“boycott” and the entire audience got
up and marched out. They paraded
up on the campus and it was not long
until they were joined by the big bulk
of the student body and then they
started on a parade around the town.
When on the campus the state police-
men paid no attention to them but
when they began their parade around
town the policemen followed. The
student body, however, kept on parad-
ing but every now and then a student
would drop out of the ranks. When
the main body had gotten the state
cops out of the way the students who
had dropped out secured red and
green paint and painted signs on the
windows of the theatre, on the pave-
ment and other places. A large sign
was also suspended on two trees with
the legend “Boycott Sim,” while the
theatre manager was hung in effigy.
the charge of boisterous riot and
another: one on Friday. In the mean-
time the theatres did comparatively
no business the remainder of last
week. On Monday, however, Mr.
Baum agreed to pay the costs and
withdraw proceedings against the
three students on their promise to
conduct themselves in an orderly man-
ner in the future and to desist from
crganizing any movement against the
theatre which they did and the prose-
cutions were withdrawn on Monday
afternoon.
In the meantime the faculty called
on the students council to know if
there was any concerted action toward
boycotting the theatre as that was un-
lawful and could not be tolerated. The
students council investigated and re-
ported that so far as they could find
out there was no organized movement
toward a boycott and the council on
‘Wednesday evening went on record
in a resolution passed deprecating any
acts of boycotting or posting notices
designed to injure property or busi-
ness anywhere. The students council
is the authoritative body at State so
far as student activities are concerned.
While the “Watchman” realizes the
fact that college students do many
things thoughtlessly without any in-
tention of doing harm or committing
a wrong, yet on the other hand the
manager of the Nittany theatre was
entirely within his rights when he de-
manded good order at all times. His
business represents a big investment
and no individual or set of individuals
have the right to jeopardize it in any
way whatever. He had a perfect right
to demand of the students the same
kind of order he would expect from
any other individual.
The fact may also be recalled that
only a few years ago Dunn & Wood
were put out of business there in al-
most a similar manner. They willing-
ly granted the students the liberty of
a good time and unthinkingly perhaps
they took advantage of the privilege
until their conduct grew unbearable
even to the two ex-State students. And
when expostulated with the students
rebelled and it resulted in a near riot
one night in which both clubs and
fists were used. Such conduct is not
only injurious to any business but it
is inimical to the best interests of the
college as an educational institution
and the students themselves ought to
be manly enough to realize this fact.
It is now to be hoped that out of
last week’s unpleasant incident a bet-
ter feeling will grow up between the
student body and the owner and man-
agement of the theatre. As far as
the writer can understand all efforts
toward a boycott have been abandon-
ed and the attendance at the theatre
is increasing every evening.
