BELLEFONTE HANGAR BURNED. Entire Plant Went Up in Smoke En- | tailing Loss of $200,000. New Stee! Building to Take Its Place. 1 i The airdrome on the U. S. govern- ment aviation field in Bellefonte was entirely destroyed by fire on Saturday evening together with all its contents which included four DeHaviland air- planes, three of them new; a Curtiss plane that had just been received and never flown; three new Liberty mo- tors that had never been used; all the spare parts -in the stoek room; a big White truck, two motor cycles with side cars; all the office equipment, and various personal bel6ngings of the aviators and men employed on the field, entailing a loss roughly esti- mated at $200,000, although the ex- act amount cannot be definitely told as all the records of stock on hand, etc., were burned. The fire started shortly after 5:30 o'clock and so fiercely did it burn that everything available was reduced to ashes in half an hour, but the ground on which the building stood, and it likely would have burned, too, had it been composed of combustible mater- ial. The only man on the field when the fire started was the watchman, Charles From. He had gone to one end of the airdrome to punch the time clock on his regular round and smell- ed smoke. He hastily investigated but found nothing wrong in that end of the building.. He went through the building but failed to discover any fire until he entered the office’ when he saw flames in the stock room ove? the office. He promptly grabbed a pyrene fire extinguisher and running up the stairs to the stock room di- rected the chemical upon the flames. By that time, however, the fire had eaten through the thin board partition separating the office and stock room from the main part of the building and all the efforts of Mr. From fail- ed to check the flames. In a very few minutes the wings of the plane near- est the office caught fire and they burned almost like tinder. Mr. From then sent in a fire alarm but while the firemen rushed to the aviation field it was useless to take along their fire- fighting apparatus, as there is no available water supply within reach of the field. The flames quickly spread from plane to plane and as the gasoline tank of each one exploded the flames would shoot in the air fif- ty feet or more. Now it just happened that on Wed- nesday of last week field manager Herbert Blakesley had received an or- der transférring him to Bustleton and Ferdinand Windsen was named as his successor. Mr. Blakesley had not yet left Bellefonte and at the first alarm of the fire he and Mr. Windsen | and practically all the force employed | ' eastern district of the aerial mail service and field inspector Egge, of | Washington, were here on Tuesday | and after looking over the ruins caus- ied by the disastrous fire approved | the requisition for a steel hangar | 100x66 feet in size, which will mean i about two hundred square feet more floor space than the old hangar. The citizens of the town, through Robert | F. Hunter, acting for the board of | trade, tendered the Department the services of fifty men, or the equiva- lent thereof, to assist in the erection of the hangar when it arrives, and the offer was accepted, though in doing so the Department stated that the present plans were to put larger ma- chines on the New York to Chicago route with the idea of only one regu- lar stop, that at Cleveland, Ohio. But the Bellefonte field will be maintain- ed as an emergency and supply sta- tion for the fliers when they feel the necessity of coming down for either oil or gas or repairs to their machine. As to the radio station now almost completed on the Bellefonte field, it will be put in operation and used as a guide to the fliers in cloudy and foggy weather, and it is said that un- der the system being installed and with the equipment to be carried by the planes, flyers can get their exact location at any time and will be able to land safely on a field without see- ing the ground. Of course, until the big mail carry- ing machines are installed Bellefonte will be a regular stop as it has been in the past, and in the event the flight from New York to Cleveland proves too strenuous for the endurance of the aviators.then the Bellefonte field will be in shape for regular stops as it has been in the past. Of course two or more emergency planes will always be kept here in case they are needed. : OTHER FIRES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. Bellefonters have always been more or less superstitious about fires and invariably when one occurs look for two more, but on this occasion they got more than they counted on, though fortunately all the others were of small loss. fire was discovered on the roof of the The first was shortly | after midnight Saturday night wlien | Superintendent Stanton, of the Mrs. Sparks Elected State Regent of | D. AR. | Mrs. Edwin Erle Sparks, of State | College, was elected State Regent of {the D. A. R. at the twenty-third an- ‘ nual meeting of the organization in | Pittsburgh last week over Mrs. H. Grant Dreisbach, of Lewisburg, by a vote of 213 to 154. The voting took place Friday and the result was an- nounced at the annual banquet held i at the William Penn hotel on Friday | evening. . The contest for the highest office in | the organization was probably the hottest waged in some years within | the confines - of that organization. | Mrs. Sparks was championed by the ! Belefonte Chapter and aside from the | local chapter her strength was in the | eastern and western sections of the | State. Mrs. Dreisbach drew the bulk | of her support from the north-central i part of the State. Both candidates | had loyal bands of supporters and it : is said that the virtues and qualifica- | tions of each one was hurled back and | forth throughout the meeting hall in | a way that very much resembled an | old-time political convention. 4 | As a matter of local interest it might be stated that Mrs. Sparks’ name was presented to the conference by Mrs. E. H. B. Callaway, of Belle- { fonte. One of the tellers to take up | the ballots was Mrs. A. W. Smith, of | Blairsville, but formerly of Storms- | town, this county, who took a very | active part in all the proceedings of | the conference. The other officers { elected in addition to Mrs. Sparks were as follows: {Vice regent, Mrs. John Brown Her- on, of Pittsburgh; ‘State historian, { Mrs. N. Howard Brown, of Valley | Forge Chapter, Norristown; State li- ‘ bravian, Mrs. George H. .Stewart, ‘ Shippensburg; three State directors were elected, viz.: Eastern district, Miss Elizabeth Getts, regent of the | Donegal chapter, Lancaster; Central ! district, Mrs. Clarence G. Crispen, re- gent of Moses Vancampen chapter, | Berwick; West district, Mrs. Samuel ' G. Rumbine, regent of Canadohta ! chapter, Titusville.

With the exception of the secret signs and password the work of the meeting in every way will be exactly as it is conducted under ordi- nary circumstances, The object of the meeting is to give the public in genegal a correct idea of the work =nd good features of the organiza- tion, and the members are anxious to have as large an attendance as possi- ble. — Mr. James R. Hughes, of the Bellefonte Academy, was honore this week by receiving an invitation for a reception to be given by Mr. and Mrs. Rodman Wanamaker, of New York, to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, in the Seventh regiment armory, N. Y., this (Fri- day) evening. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wanamaker were classmates at Princeton college, and while the for- mer was compelled to send his regrets at not being able to accept the invi- tation he very much appreciates the spirit of loyalty to a fellow . class- mate in which it was gent. Mr. Hughes is probably the only fonter to be so honored. Belle- {the big White car water was hauled ' to the field from the Beaver farm and although the metal gasoline barrels were already steaming hot they were | partially cooled with a douche of wa- j ter when each in turn was grabbed by some of the field employees and rolled | out onto the road to a place of safety. 1 It was dangerous work and spectators tried to keep the men from endanger- i ing their lives but they stuck to it un- | til every barrel was saved then turn- | ed their attention to saving the gaso- i line pump house. In this they were | also successful, but as it was the roof | { of the building was badly charred. It | was extremely dangerous work but i every man did his duty valiantly and | some of them even shed tears over the i fact that they couldn’t save more. Of the aviators Ellis was probably the most affected of all to see his ship burn, as it was one he has flown ever : since he has been on the mail route and he had a wondrously friendly feeling for it. Most of the aviators lost their heavy leather coats and other effects. Maurice Kelly lost a typewriter and a multiple telegraph key. Carpenter George Eberhart had been doing some work at the field and had his box of tools in the building, and those were also destroyed. He estimates his loss at one hundred dollars. Hardly had the building been barn- ed to the ground until Mr. Blakesley | got busy on the telephone, got the | field at Mineola and also Cleveland and asked that a machine be sent here from each place, and both came in on Sunday. He also secured an office which the State Highway Department had been using in Buffalo Run valley and bright and early Sunday morn- ing it was taken down in sections and transferred to the field. Carpenters and electricians were busy all day and by evening the office was in shape, equipped with telegraph and tele- phone instruments, electric light and n borrowed typewriter and requisi- tions had been made out for the var- jous supplies and stock needed. A ma- chine shop had also been erected. A new steel hangar furnished by the department will be erected to take the place of the one destroyed by fire, and another such catastrophe will | thus be avoided. The only way the fire can be accounted for is that it must have caught from the stovepipe leading from the stove in the office up through the stockroom. While it is a big loss, and one that no human agency could avert, every man con- | nected with the service, from Mr. | Blakesley, Mr. Windsen and the fly- ers to the watchman on the field dis- played the utmost loyalty to the gov- | ernment in doing their best to save | what they could. i out sending in an alarm. another fire was discovered on: the east Linn street. An alarm firemen reached the scene. morning another alarm summoned | the firemen to the Bellefonte Acade- my where a fire had broken out in the | basement of the small L on the west side of the building. This fire; too, was extinguished before it'gained any great headway, and the loss to “the Academy will not be over $150.00 or $200.00. The origin of this fire. is a mystery, as the only thing in the basement where the fire started was a few empty boxes and some waste pa- per. Mr. Hughes is inclined to the be- lief that the fire was caused by spon- | taneous combustion. At first it look- | ed very threatening and the students | threw clothing and suit cases out of their rooms to the ground below and had even carried out some of the fur- niture on the first floor of the build- ing. Mr. Hughes Speaks a Good Word for Firemen. Dear Mr. Editor: — I wish to thank the members of the Logan and Undine fire companies, through the columns of your paper, for the remarkably prompt response on their part to the call for help at the Academy fire last Monday morn- ing. I have never witnessed quicker nor more successful action by our fire- men. It certainly prevented z most destructive conflagration. ; When volunfeer firemen are expect- ed to leave their offices, counting rooms and workshops at a moment's notice, they should not be encumbered by inadequate equipment. They should have the very best placed at their command. They have made the matter of fire apparatus a close study and should know what they need and desire. There is no economy in cheap | apparatus.

Twenty-four Liquor License Applica- ‘tions Filed for 1920. Down in Kentucky the judges de- clare war time prohibition now uncon- stitutional and whiskey is being sold to any one and every one who can put up the stiff price of seventy-five dol- lars. a case of twelve quart bottles, and they are likely short quarts at that. In Chicago and New York the judges declare the law is good and can be enforced, and between the two decisions the average landlord is in a quandary and don’t know what to do. But there are twenty-four men’ in Centre county who don’t intend to be caught napping because just that number of applications have been fil- ed for liquor license for the year be- ginning April 1st, 1920. Under a ruling by Judge Quigley license court in Centre county is held on the first Saturday after the first Monday in December, and as the law requires all applications to be filed at least twenty days before court last Saturday was the last day for filing in Centre coun- ty and the list was just twenty-four. All but one of the above number are landlords, wholesalers and the Phil- ipsburg brewery who have kept their old license good by the payment of the license fee monthly or every three months, as the case may be. The new application is from the pres- ent landlord of the Spring Mills hotel. Four applications have been filed by landlords of Bellefonte, mo appli- cation being filed by landlord H. S. Ray, of the Brockerhoff house. Mr. Ray dropped his old license several months ago and decided it was not worth while taking chances on the constitutional prohibition being de- clared unconstitutional to make appli- catiom for a license mext year. eos Very Few Wild Turkeys Shot on creased the menace of fire because of the large number of individual héat- | ing plants recently installed.

It was one of the biggest bob cats ever killed in that section, and Mr. Miller will likely have the skin mounted and preserve it as a memento of his hunter’s skill. ——Clyde Williams, of Port Matil- da, is in the Bellefonte hospital with a broken ankle sustained in an auto accident last Friday, when the ma- chine which he was driving from Port Matilda to Julian ran into a ditch and overturned, owing to a broken steer- (pening Day. Contrary to general expectations very few wild turkeys were killed in Centre county last Saturday, the opening day of the season. Not one of the birds was brought in by Belle- fonte hunters, although a few were seen, but at such a distance away that they were cut of range. ¥ is reported that two soms of G. G. Fink, of Husten township, each got a turkey and that several were shot in the neighborhood of Unionville and several by Pennsvalley hunters, but the total number bagged in the coun- ty was very small and no eomparisen to the kill on the opening day in for- mer years when anywhere from twen- ty-five to fifty turkeys would be brought in the first day of the season. A report has been current this week that some unknown hunter ran into a flock of turkeys on the mountain above Fillmore last week, before the season opened, and killed some of the birds, leaving two dead ones lie on the ground where they fell. Just how much truth there is in the report the writer is unable to say, but the story is worth investigation on the part of some enterprising game warden and if true, and the guilty parties locat- ed, they should be made to pay the ing gear. penalty.
