o'clock for the benefit of the Red
Cross. This company of players gave
the same entertainment at Waddle
last Friday evening and were very
much appreciated, hence there should
be a big turnout at Julian. Price of
admission will be but 25 cents.
Easter Sunday was about as
perfect a day as could be expected
this time of year, with the sun shining
brightly all day and just warm enough
that heavy wraps were not needed.
The result was all the churches were
well attended to hear the special Eas-
ter services, notwithstanding the fact
that the clocks were turned ahead an
hour and it required everybody to get
around in the morning to be on time.
_Dr. Hugh L. Fry, a former Cen-
tre county boy and a graduate of the
veterinary school at the University of
Pennsylvania in the class of 1909, and
who has been located in Indiana the
past four years doing special work
for the government, has been trans-
ferred to Jackson, Miss., where he will
be engaged in laboratory and field
work. Dr. Fry is a son of Capt. W.
H. Fry, of Pine Grove Mills, and being
a regular chip of the old block will
make good in anything he undertakes.
William Groh Runkle has been
held up in the remodeling of the Mec-
Clain house on north Allegheny street,
which he recently purchased, on ac-
count of delays in getting the neces-
sary lumber and as he was compelled
to vacate the Bower property he mov-
ed the latter part of last week into
the rooms in Crider’s Exchange va-
cated by Dr. Thornley’s. And on Sun-
day afternoon Mrs. Runkle presented
him with a little daughter which he
already thinks is the finest girl in
town. So it can be seen that the ex-
District Attorney is very fortunately
located, because when he is not busy
with clients on the second floor of the
Exchange he can go to the third floor
and amuse his little daughter.
Lest the people of Bellefonte
overlook the fact attention is again
called to the fact that in just two
weeks the Bellefonte Academy min-
strels will give their big entertain-
ment for the benefit of the Red Cross.
It will be a good, clean show with
plenty of humor, full of catchy music,
etc. Watch for the girls in costumes

band of Milesburg will be held at noon
on Thursday, April 18th. Ladies in
Red Cross costume will also be a fea-
ture of the parade. The chart will be
open at Parrish’s drugstore at noon
on Tuesday, April 16th. - Seats in the

A MESSAGE DIRECT FROM FRANCE
Thousands of Centre Countians Flocked to Hear Lieutenant
Perigord’s Message to Americans. Senator Tustin
Made a Strong Appeal for Unity in Sup-
port of the Government.
Not in many years has there been
such an outpouring of the people of
Centre county as that which flocked
to Bellefonte on Wednesday evening
to attend the big patriotic rally and
hear the splendid talks of Senator E.
L. Tustin, of the Speakers’ Bureau,
Philadelphia, and Lieut. Paul Peri-
gord, the Hero of the Marne and Ver-
dun, on the vital issues confronting
the American people today on account
of the great war in which we are en-
gaged for the sake of humanity. And
if every man, woman and child will
profit by what they heard and resolve
to do their very utmost in support of
the government there will be no cause
for complaint about the part Centre
county will take in the stupendous
work in which the country is now en-
gaged.
Senator Tustin and Lieut. Perigord
arrived in Bellefonte on the Lewis-
burg and 'L'yrone train on Wednesday
morning and were met by a number
of representative citizens of the town,
the gentlemen being the guests while
here of Col. W. Fred Reynolds. The
two gentlemen made their first public
appearance at eleven o’cleck when |
they talked to the school children in
the court house. Over eight hundred
children from the public schools and
close to two hundred from the paro-
chial school were present, crowding
the court house to the doors. The
High school orchestra was present
and the meeting opened with the sing-
ing of the “Star Spangled Banner.”
Both of the distinguished gentlemen
spoke briefly after which the meeting
closed with the singing of “America.”
Senator Tustin took occasion to con-
gratulate the members of the orches-
tra and the school children generally
on their splendid music, saying it ex-
celled anything he had ever heard.
At four o’clock in the afternoon
both Senator Tustin and Lieut. Peri-
gord addressed the members of the
Public Safety committee of Centre
county, who were in attendance al-
most to a man, and at the close of
this meeting they were taken by Col.
Reynolds to State College where they
were guests of Dr. and Mrs. E. E.
Sparks for dinner and at 6:45 o'clock
they talked to the students and public
generally in the Schwab auditorium,
returning to Bellefonte in time for the
evening meeting, or more correctly
meetings, as the court house would
not hold the large crowd and it
became necessary to secure the opera
house, also, and it was packed to the
doors. BANS :
The crowd began gathering early
coming to Bellefonte by automobile,
even from Lock Haven, and fifteen
minutes ' after the court house was
opened ‘it was jammed to the doors
and hundreds were clamoring for even
a place to stand. It was then that the
opera house was secured and it was
likewise soon filled. The speakers ar-
rived from State College shortly after
eight o'clock and at first demurred
against making speeches at the two
meetings but finally consented and
Senator Tustin spoke in the court
house while Lieut. Perigord talked to
the crowd in the opera house. At the
conclusion of the latter’s talk he was
taken to the Garman house and re-
freshed with a cup of hot tea, then
went to the court house for his final
talk and Senator Tustin went to the
opera house.
In his various talks here Senator
Tustin emphasized the fact that the
people must stand back of the govern-
ment in every demand made if the
war is to be won, and the bigger the
response to every demand made the
quicker the war will be won. He told
his audiences that it was the United
States that stemmed the German
drive into Italy, not with implements
of war but with sixteen ship-loads of
wheat rushed across the Atlantic to
the relief of the Italians who were
suffering with hunger. He further
made the statement that in the last
ten weeks not a shipload of supplies
or foodstuffs shipped abroad from this
country have been lost, so well is the
government safeguarding the trans-
portation of both men and supplies.
He further stated that while he is
in favor of the farmer getting a good
price for his grain, yet this is no
time to quibble about prices; love of
country and patriotism ought to be
foremost in every man’s mind and
there should be no holding back eith-
er of foodstuff or of money. He also
emphasized the necessity of investing
in the third Liberty loan, not only as
a patriotic duty but because it will be
a good investment.
In introducing Lieut. Perigord Sen-
ator Tustin stated that when the war
broke out on August 1, 1914, the lieu-
tenant was writing a thesis at Har-
vard. He heard the call -to arms sail-
ed for France on August 5th and was
in the trenches by the 25th, taking his
place as a private. He won the French
cross at the battle. of the Marne and
has since had five stars added for
deeds of special valor. When the Ger-
mans undertook to take Verdun Lieut.
Perigord was with the brigade that
stemmed the tide and turned defeat
into victory. Of the six thousand men
assigned to hold a‘fort until reserves
could be brought up only 1400 surviv-
ed and every officer of rank had been |
shot down. As Lieut. Perogord’s cap-
tain fell mortally wounded he gave
Perigord his sword and told him to
take charge and it was he who led the
final charge, drove the Germans back
and captured several hundred prison-
ers.
Lieut. Perigord is a man small in
stature, pleasant faced with a keen
eye and quick wit. He spoke with a
| pronounced French accent, but in very
good English. The message he is
giving to the people of the United
States and the one he brought to Cen-
tre county must be heard to be appre-
ciated. It is not only what he said
but the way he said it that carried
conviction to every heart. The Lieut.
is not on a mission of flattering the
vanity of the general public but spoke
plain truths and spoke them very em-
phatically. He told his hearers that
now is no time to wrangle and criti-
cise the action of the government, no
matter what is done. That it is every
. man’s duty to not only do his bit, but
do his utmost. He stated that France
{had mobilized seven million men and
given of her wealth unstintingly. To
do as good the United States will have
to furnish 20,000,000 men, and yet
some people are complaining already
"and we have only mobilized 1,500,000.
| He asserted that this is not only
France’s war, or Belgium's, or Italy’s,
but the United States, as well. That
England and France and Italy have
been fighting our war for us and all
that they ask is that we will now do
i our part with them. Foodstuffs are
needed, and the resources of this
country have hardly been touched.
He referred to the United States ar-
my as being composed of the best
looking body of soldiers he had ever
seen, but he also stated that it took
time to teach them the science of
modern warfare, just as it took the
French and English time to learn it.
‘He referred to General Pershing’s
, visit to the tomb of Lafayette and his
{speech of four words when he said:
| “Lafayette, we are here,” character-
izing it as the greatest speech of
| the war, closing his talk with recount-
‘ing a few interesting incidents of the
| battle front.
As a compliment to the lieutenant
| notwithstanding the density of the
{crowd in the evening, and the length
{of time they waited for his message
(not a man or woman left the house
until he finished his speech and many
regretted that he could not have talk-
ed longer.
Notwithstanding the ‘fact that he
talked five times on Wednesday he
was up early yesterday morning and
held mass in the Catholic church be-
! fore leaving with Senator Tustin for
Clearfield. © * gel 0 2
Before departing Senator Tustin
stated that he had talked in forty-six
! out of the sixty-seven counties of the
State but in no one had he witnessed
anything like the demonstration giv-
en him and Lieutenant Perigord on
Wednesday; and now if the people of
Centre county will show the same pa-
triotism in every line of war work
their mission here will not have been
in vain.
be
Red Cross Base Ball League Or-
ganized.
A meeting of base ball fans was
held in the grand jury room in the
court house on Tuesday evening and
a Red Cross base ball league organ-
ized the purpose of which is in the na-
ture of a benefit for the Red Cross.
The league is to be composed. of
teams from the three wards of the
town and the schedule will include two
games a week to be played on Hughes
field. The nominal price of ten cents
admission will be charged, the pro-
ceeds to go for the benefit of the Red
Cross. The players are to be resi-
dents of the ward in which the team
is located and there will be no age
limit. The officers elected are as fol-
lows:
President—J. M. Cunningham.
Vice President—J. Frank Smith.
Secretary—H. J. Jackson.
Treasurer—John Curtin.
The ward committees of the organ-
ization of the several teams are as
follows:
North ward—Harry Keller and
John J. Bower.
South ward—J. Mac Heinle and
Harry Ruhl
West ward—A. Linn McGinley and
George Hazel.
Rules and regulations for the gov-
ernment of the league will be drawn
up and a provisional schedule made
out, announcement of which will be
made in the near future. Inasmuch
as it will be entirely a local affair very
little expense will be connected with
the enterprise and the projectors hope
in this way to raise considerable mon-
ey for the Red Cross.
—1In these days it is pretty hard
to tell when a stranger makes his ap-
pearance in a community just who he
is. Last Friday a United States Mar-
shall went to Philipsburg and got a
man who haa been working at the
Chester Hill brick works who proved
to be Karl Fatschell, a German, who
was a fireman on the German liner
Kaiser Wilhelm de Grosse, which was
caught in an American port when the
world war broke out in 1914. Fat-
schell escaped internment and his
whereabouts were unknown until he
wos discovered at Chester Hill
through the registration of enemy
aliens. Inasmuch as he had been well
behaved the only charge that will
likely be lodged against him is that
of evading internment.
W. S. MALLALIEU TRANSFERRED
Changes Made in Local Managers of
Bell Telephone Company.
Announcement of various changes
in the organization of the Bell Tele-
phone company of Pennsylvania in
the Williamsport district has been
made by district manager, K. C. Raup,
among which is the transfer of local
manager C. W. Heilhecker, of Lock
Haven, to Bellefonte to succeed W. S.
Mallalieu, who has been appointed as
local manager at Williamsport to fill
the vacancy caused by the recent
death of the late Samuel G. Smead.
Mr. Charles O. Strohm, of Carlisle,
has been advanced from commercial
representative to the position of local
manager at Lock Haven. He has
been with the company since 1911,
and was educated in the Carlisle
schools.
Mr. Heilhecker’s appointment to
Bellefonte is the result of his excel-
lent efficiency and good work as local
manager at Lock Haven, and the
change is distinctly an advancement
for him. Mr. Heilhecker entered the
employ of the company in 1909. He
was educated in Hanover, Pa. Mr.
and Mrs. Heilhecker and daughter
will immediately take up their resi-
dence in Bellefonte.
After a number of years as local
manager of the Bell Telephone com-
pany in this city, W. S. Mallalieu has
been appointed local manager at Wil-
liamsport. The many friends of Mr.
Mallalieu feel sorry to see him go
and yet his increased duties and larg-
er field, it is felt, is in the way of his
reward for his efficiency and the ex-
cellence in system and accomplish-
ments of the Bellefonte office. He is
the son of Rev. Richard Mallalieu, of
1104 Elmira street, Williamsport.
Mr. Mallalieu was graduated from
Williamsport Dickinson Seminary in
1901. He entered the employ of the
Bell telephone company of Pennsyl-
vania as clerk in the office at Wil-
liamsport, advancing to salesman at
Ridgway and local manager at Belle-
fonte and now local manager at Wil-
liamsport, to which place he and his
family expect to go the latter part of
this week or beginning of next.
Mrs. Warfield Wins Case Against
Kato Coal Co.
Judge Albert W. Johnson, of Lew-
isburg, last week filed his opinion and
decree in the case of Emily Harris
Warfield vs. the Kato Coal Co., et al.,
being an action in equity to recover
on the shares and value of stock held
by her husband, the late Frank War-
field, in the Kato Coal company at the
time of his death and prior to the re-
organization of the company in June,
1913. The Judge filed a lengthy opin-
ion in the case reviewing the facts as
gleaned from the testimony taken be-
fore him and the arguments in the
case, as well as quoting the law points
covering the issue at hand, after
which he appended the following de-
cree: !
And now, March 30, 1918, after argu-
ment of counsel, and upon due considera-
tion, it is finally ordered, adjudged and
decreed that the action of Thomas F. Kel-
ley, Isaac S. Norris, Wm. KX. Wrigley, Au-
gustus C. Wolf, Wm. Wingart and The
Kato Coal company at the special meeting
June 3, 1913, forfeiting the stock of the
plaintiff, is null and void, and is hereby
cancelled and set aside, and the Kato Coal
company by its Board of Directors is or-
dered and decreed to execute and deliver
to the said plaintiff a certificate for sixty-
five shares of capital stock of the Kato
Coal company upon payment by her of
any sum of money due from the estate of
Frank Warfield, deceased, to the Kato
Coal company under the terms and con-
ditions of the agreement of November 9th,
1910, and the said Thomas F. Kelley and
the Kato Coal company are ordered to ac-
count to the plaintiff for the shares of the
profits of the Kato Coal company from the
date of the organization until the present,
due the estate of Frank Warfield, deceas-
ed, to enable the plaintiff to determine
how much, if any, she must pay the Kato
Coal company in satisfaction and payment
of her portion of the mortgage held by
the Bellefonte Trust company against the
said property of the Kato Coal company.
The costs of this proceeding are order-
ed to be paid by Thomas F. Kelley, Isaac
B. Norris, Wm. K. Wright, Augustus C.
Wolf, William Wingart and the Kato Coal
company.
Lucasavage Held for Trial.
Bill Lucasavage, the big Lithuan-
ian of Clarence, was held under one
thousand dollars bail for trial at the
next term of court at a habeas corpus
hearing on Tuesday morning on the
charge of causing the death of Joe
Berbitska, in a general fight at Clar-
ence on the evening of March 16th.
While a good many witnesses had
been summoned for the hearing only
four were heard and the story told by
them differed somewhat from the
story told on the ground the night of
the killing. Each of the witnesses
testified that Lucasavage had been an
uninvited guest at the housewarming,
and that when the fight started they
had seen him strike Berbitska with a
stone which he held in his hand, al-
though none of them knew the man
had been killed until his dead body
was found some time later.
All the witnesses denied, however,
that the origin of the fight was a dis-
cussion oves the Russian-Germany sit-
uation, but admitted that there had
been some ill will between Berbitska
and Lucasavage.
When four witnesses had been
heard the court announced that in its
opinion the man was not guilty of a
first degree offense yet the evidence
seemed sufficient to hold Lucasavage
for trial and bail was fixed in the sum
of one thousand dollars, which was
promptly given.

memories of the strenuous and precarious
days away back in the sixties when the
“Watchman” was struggling to get out its
weekly issue on a hand press up in the old
“Iron Front” that stood where the John
Meese store is now located. He was learn-
ing the printing trade then and while we
recall him as a very geod “devil” indeed
most of the beys who worked in the office
in those days were ‘‘devils” whenever the
opportunity presented itself.

Deserters Arrested.
Sheriff Yarnell went down to Ea-
gleville yesterday and arrested Ray-
mond T. Maxon, sometimes known as
Raymond T. James, on the charge of
desertion. Maxon enlisted at Wil-
liamsport in Company D, 109th U. S.
infantry and was in training at Camp
Hancock. Though he spent most of
the time during the past six weeks at
Eagleville the direct act for which he
is classed as a deserter is leaving
camp on March 25th without a fur-
lough or leave of absence.
On March 21st two young men who
gave their names as J. W. Taylor and
M. J. Curry, and who claimed to be
marines from the battleship Oklaho-
ma, were arrested in Lock Haven for
illegal train riding and were given
twenty days in the Clinton county
jail. Some time on Wednesday morn-
ing they broke jail and came to Belle-
fonte. They were soon picked up by
the police and landed in jail. The
Lock Haven authorities were notified
and Sheriff Cupper came here and
took the young men back yesterday,
and now they will not only have to
answer to the charge of jail breaking
i is likely they are deserters as
well.
