Heisler will move into the house now
occupied by Mr. Runkle and his fam-
ily, providing they don’t buy another
home in the meantime, and that is
just possible, as Mr. Heisler already
has his eye on one or two. ‘This is the
seventh house Mr. Heisler has put in |
good shape and sold during his resi- |
dence in Bellefonte, and all of them |
were nicely fixed up when he let go
of them. The price he will receive
for his Spring street property is
$4200.
——Almost everybody in Bellefonte
on Monday morning took a look to see
if there was a fire in their house or
the immediate neighborhood. The en-
tire town was saturated with fumes
of burning oil, even bedrooms with
windows up being polluted with it.
Not a fire was discovered, however,
and it was not until later in the day
when the origin of the fumes became
known. They came from the plant of
the Titan Metal company. The man
in charge of firing the boiler got a lit-
tle too rich a mixture of oil with the
result that the fumes from the smoke
stack were quite dense. And it just
happened that a dense fog prevailed
early in the morning and the southern
breeze carried the fumes all over
Bellefonte with the result that every-
body got a good whiff of it and nat-
urally concluded there was a fire in
TWO BOYS HELD FOR TRIAL.
Two Others Sent to Glenn Mills for
Causing Death of Jarvis Hall.
Never in the court annals of Centre
county has there been a record of such
utter depravity upon the part of
small boys recorded as that revealed
at the habeas corpus hearing on Wed-
nesday afternoon of Melvin Rowan,
Thomas Stark and Charles and Ar-
thur Markley, the four Snow Shoe
boys arrested last week by state po-
lice for causing the death of Jarvis
N. Hall, of Snow Shoe, on the 17th of
August, 1919.
Some nine or ten witnesses were
called by the Commonwealth but the
gist of the case hinged on the confes-
sion made by the boys not only to the
state police, but to burgess John
Beals, of Philipsburg, and again be-
fore district attorney James C. Furst,
where three of the boys not only re-
iterated their confession but signed
an affidavit to the fact that it was
correct. Arthur Markley, the young-
est of the Markley boys stoutly de-
nied the facts the other boys con-
fessed to and refused to sign the
statement.
In the statement the boys confessed
to indignities to the person of each
other beyond the conception of the or-
dinary boy. These actions took place
in an old horse stable on the banks of
the old Uzzle fish pond about midway
between Snow Shoe and Clarence.
When the boys were getting ready to
leave the stable Jarvis Hall threaten-
ed to. tell his grandfather what had
taken place, and then, according to
the confession testified to by several
witnesses, Melvin Rowan told him that
he would never get a chance to tell
him, whereupon the boys all went
after him and after knocking him
down and kicking him secured an old
tie rope and strung him up to a
“rafter,” the state police testified. He
was let hang until his tongue stuck
out then taken down and making sure
no one was in sight the four boys
picked up the little body, carried it to
the old pond and threw it into the
murky waters.
Then Melvin Rowan said he was
going to church and Thomas Stark
and Charles Markley started for their
respective homes. Arthur Markley
lingered behind and when Merrill
Harnish came along a little later he
told him that Jarvis Hall had drown-
ed in the pond. People living nearby
were notified and finally Charles
Swartz waded into the pond and re-
covered the body. Dr. Edward Harris
was promptly notified and when he
reached the scene he examined the
boy and pronounced him dead. The
justice of the peace of Snow Shoe and
two members of the state police from
Clarence were also there but no one
deemed it necessary to hold an inquest
to inquire into how the boy met his
death.” ;
At the hearing S. D. Gettig repre-
sented the boys and maintained that
the Commonwealth had not produced
sufficient evidence to show that a mur-
der had been committed let alone fast-
en the’ crime on the boys. He also
made a plea for them on account of
their youth. Judge Orvis, who assist-
ed the district attorney, stated that if
the confession made by the boys was
| true then they should all be punished
accordingly. If it was not true, then
they were at least guilty of perjury
and it would not be right to turn them
loose among respectable children of
the community in which they lived.
The court asked as to the ages of
the boys and Mr. Gettig stated that
Thomas Stark and Arthur Markley
were each eleven years old, Charles
Markley fourteen and Melvin Rowan
fifteen. The court stated that he was
satisfied that the evidence was suffi-
cient to warrant a fuller investigation
but inasmuch as two of the boys were
too young to stand trial for a capital
offense and yet of such a character
that it would not be right to discharge
them, he would sentence both to
Glenn Mills, to be taken there at
once, and hold the other two, Charles
Markley and Melvin Rowan for trial.
Spring is Here.
Of course everybody knows spring
is here according to the calendar, but
how many people know just when the
change took place from winter to
spring? We venture the assertion
that at least nine out of ten people
will naturally answer, “Why on Sun-
day, the 21st, of course.” But just as
a matter of course it did not. Spring
began officially, according to the cal-
endar, at 4:59 o’clock p. m. on Satur-
day, March 20th. Summer will begin
June 21st, at 12:40 p. m., but autumn
will not show up until September
23rd, at 3:29 a. m. Winter will offi-
cially begin on December 21st, at
10:17 p. m.
Taking it for granted that you have
now read the above ask the first per-
son you meet when the seasons begin
this year and see if he or she can
answer correctly.
Another thing. It has always been
taken for granted that the day and
night was of equal length on the first
day of spring, that the sun rose at
six o'clock and set at six. But the
fact is it doesn’t. The day and night
was nearest equal last Thursday when
the sun rose at 6:08 and set at 6:09.
In fact there isn’t any date in the cal-
endar when the sun rises at six and
sets at six.
——1In his will the late Albert F.
Young, of Williamsport, senior mem-
ber of the Bush & Bull department
store, left a sum of money to the
heads of every department in the
store and among the beneficiaries are
William P. Kuhn and Clarence Long-
acre, both former residents of Belle-
the neighborhood.
fonte, who will get $2000 each.
|
Robert F. Hunter, acting in con-
junction with the Business Men’s As-
sociation of Bellefonte, was notified
by telephone early in the week that
the Bellefonte silk mill is now an as-
sured fact. The message came from
Thomas B. Hill, assistant to the man-
ager of the J. H.and C.K. Eagle
company, and followed the consulta-
tion of the silk mill officials held in
New York last week over the plans to
be adopted in the erection of the mill.
The new plans provide for a circular
building which will meet all the re-
quirements demanded.
Mr. Hunter was also notified that
the attorney and other officials of the
company will come to Bellefonte very
soon to enter into an areement with
the Bellefonte Trust Co. as trustee
for the bondholders which will secure
the rights of both the bondholders and
the company and also to exercise the
option on the site selected. Just as
soon as the legal details are consum-
mated operations will be begun on the |
erection of the plant.
Near East Relief Drive Nets $9,500.
Centre county has responded to the
appeal for $8000 in aid of the Near
East relief by contributions of $9500.
It is clear that the public is deeply
concerned in the pitiful condition of
the little children in Armenia and
Syria, and that the moving tales of
suffering have touched many hearts.
Offerings were received from church-
es and Sunday schools, from fraternal
and patriotic orders, from public
schools, Granges and other organiza-
tions representing every section. of.
the county, while the contributions
from individuals were many and gen-
erous in amount. The committee, of
which Miss Mary Hunter Linn is
chairman, had in charge the entire
county outside of Philipsburg and
Rush township. The contributions
reported by the Philipsburg commit-
tee, amounting to $115, are included
in the total given above.
The gratifying result of the canvas
is due to careful, intelligent and per-
sistent work, and to the fact that the
cause made a strong appeal to the
sympathies of the public.
Health Crusade Work.
Two features in the modern health
crusade in the public schools this week
were the introduction of a public
health clown in grades one, two and
three, and a demonstration to grades
seven and eight of a balanced ration
or meals for a day, by Freda Edmis-
ton, Martha Barnhart, Dorothy Sto-
ver and Margaret Nighthart, mem-
bers of the Senior class in the Home
Economics course. This ration was
for a child of the average age of thir-
teen, and average weight of one hun-
dred and three pounds. These meals
were as follows:

Katcha Koo Rehearsals Have Started.
The principals of the cast for
“Katcha Koo,” an Oriental-American
fantastique, met Tuesday night at the
High school building to receive and
try out their respective parts and
have the first reading of lines. Much
fun resulted, for the lines and situa-
tions of the play are decidedly amus-
ing. Both performers and their
friends who attended the rehearsal
were convulsed with laughter most of
the evening.
The play hearkens to the Orient.
There will be incense, the silken
bloomers and turbans of India, and
oodles of fascinating young girls
dressed in bewitching costumes. An
interesting story is told with a wealth
of entertainment in all lines that is
almost an embarrassment of riches.
The stage settings are fine, the cos-
tumes dainty and the music catchy
and pleasing.
The production centres about a no-
torious East Indian fakir, Katcha
Koo, who suddenly undergoes a com-
plete metamorphosis through being
interested with a magic wearing ap-
parel which induces characteristics
hitherto unknown to him. He is
changed from a prayerful Hindu to a
love-making and flirtatious gay young
Lothario. The production is in charge
of a professional director and already
a splendid start has been made. Mrs.
M. H. Brouse is in charge of affairs
locally and the proceeds are to be
turned over to the hospital.

——The Bellefonte postoffice on
Monday received a motorcycle with
side car for the delivery of parcel post
mail matter, which should greatly ex-
pedite the handling of this class of
stuff, providing the critter does not
get away with Uncle Danny Showal-
ter, the carrier. Guiding a motorey-
cle through the traffic of Bellefonte
streets is somewhat different from
holding plow handles or pushing that
old mail cart but let us hope that the
driver will get through without any
bad casualties.
Bellefonte Silk Mill Now Assured. | POTATO WART QUARANTINE.
Only Small Portions of Centre Coun-
ty Affected.
The “Watchman” last week publish-
ed a notice sent out by the State De-
partment of Agriculture relative to a
quarantine having been placed on
Centre county on account of the pota-
to wart disease. The item naturally
created consternation among the far-
mers who at once realized that such a
quarantine would at least mean con-
siderable trouble and inconvenience,
and possibly would interfere very ser-
iously with the putting out of the
usual crop of tubers.
This week, however, we received a
follow-up notice from the Department
of Agriculture in which the districts
over which the quarantine has been
placed are given, and they are only a
very small part of Centre county.
They include ‘“the borough of Snow
Shoe and the east precinct of Snow
Shoe township (village of Clarence),
and the west precinct of Rush town-
ship, (Newtown).”
In the infected districts a permit
must be secured from the Department
of Agriculture before planting pota-
toes.
Any garden actually affected with
the disease will be posted with a spe-
cial quarantine notice, and within
such premises no potatoes may be
grown, nor any vegetable matter or
manure be removed from it.
Potatoes grown under permit must
not be removed from the ground save
in the presence of an authorized in-
spector of the Department of Agricul-
ture.
Herbert L. Roberts will be the offi-
cial inspector in charge of the quaran-
tine area of Centre county and will
make a house to house canvass in the
affected districts, beginning April
first. In this way all persons desir-
ing permits to plant potatoes can se-
cure same without any trouble or in-
convenience.

Another Munificent Donation to Belle-
fonte High School.
Mrs. John I. Olewine on Tuesday
made another very generous and mu-
nificent donation to the Bellefonte
High school in the shape of one com-
plete dinner set for the use of the
school. The donation consisted of
nine full dozen plates, cups and sau-
cers and all the other dishes necessa-
ry to complete such an elaborate set
of table ware. The dishes are of
white porcelain with gold coin bands
and artistic in design. The boys in
the manual arts training class at the
school have made a complete set of
mission furniture for the dining room,
so that it is now fully equipped for
any emergency.
Apropos of this munificent gift of
Mrs. Olewine it might not be out of
place to mention that on former oc-
casions she ‘has presented to the High
school a complete set of the American
history by Woodrow Wilson; the en-
tire equipment except the tables and
stove plates for the kitchen, consist-
ing of eighteen individual equipments
and 160 pieces in the general equip-
ment. She has also given a scholar-
ship for a girl graduate of any High
school in the county to take a post
graduate course of one year in the
Bellefonte High school.
A former teacher in the Bellefonte
schools Mrs. Olewine has always man-
ifested a great interest in the schools
in general, and from the above it can
be seen that her interest has been
manifested in the most substantial
way possible.

More Aged People.
When the writer was a boy he re-
garded men and women who had
reached the age of fifty years as old
and those of sixty and seventy as
quite venerable. In fact thirty years
ago the longevity of life was gener-
ally considered from three score to
three score and ten. But it has in-
creased now and the man or woman
of that age is considered away below
the period of Oslerization. In fact any
one who takes the trouble to watch
the death lists as published weekly in
the county papers can easily see that
many people these days live well up
in the seventies and eighties and even
some in the nineties. During the past
few weeks the “Watchman” has made
mention of a number of people in
Bellefonte and Centre county who
have passed their four score mark and
still they come.
Mrs. Henrietta Kline, of Bellefonte,
celebrated her eighty-first anniversa-
ry on March 15th.
Mrs. Crouse, an aunt of Mrs. Wil-
liam P. Seig, and who makes her home
with the Seig family, is ninety-two
years old and still quite active and in
good health.
George W. Lingle, a life-long resi-
dent of Beech Creek, but who spent
the winter in Bellefonte with his
daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs.
James Clark, is ninety-seven years
old.
Life Prisoner Pardoned.
James Newton Hill, of Tarentum,
the only life prisoner in the western
penitentiary, was granted a pardon
last week - after serving twenty-six
years in that institution. Hill was
thirty-four years of age when convict-
ed of the murder of Rose Rotzler, a
French woman, in Allegheny, in 1894.
He was sentenced to be hanged but
the sentence was later commuted to
life imprisonment. Hill has always
been a model prisoner and at Rock-
view has been acting librarian. When
his officially signed pardon is received
he will return to his home ir Pitts-
burgh, where he has a wife and mar-
ried daughter living.
