William White Badly Injured When
Train Hit Auto.
William White, a well known far-
mer on upper Dix Run, in Union town-
ship, was badly injured last Saturday
afternoon when his automobile was
run down by the Tyrone work train’
on the Chestnut street crossing at
Unionville.
and ten year old son, had motored
from their farm into Unionville with
some produce for market. The ap-:
proach to the crossing was obscured
by a long pile of mine ties and props
so that Mr. White could not see the
work train which was backing up the
track and the trainmen could not see
the automobile. The result was Mr.
White drove onto the track just at the
moment when the train reached the
crossing, and his car, a five passenger
Dodge, was struck full on the side
and pushed along ahead of the train
some thirty feet or more, being liter-
ally smashed to pieces.
Mr. White sustained a compound
fracture of the left leg below the knee,
severe bruises and lacerations on the
face, head and body. Mrs. White was
badly cut about the head and face and
slightly injured internally. The boy :
was badly cut on the head and Sus-
tained some ugly bruises. As soon as
the conductor of the work train could
get permission from headquarters in
Tyrone he had the injured loaded on
the train and brought them to Belle-
fonte, they being taken direct to the
hospital. The doctors’ examination
disclosed the injuries as above stated
which, though painful and serious; are
not considered in the fatal class, but
they will keep Mr. White housed up
for weeks, and just at the unfortu-
nate time when his spring work on:
the farm should have his attention.
The accident happened about 4:30
o'clock in the afternoon and some
time after the victims had been taken
away from Unionville on the work
train Mr. White's pocketbook was
found along the tracks. It contained
$47.72. In the auto when it was
struck by the train was a basket con-
taining twelve dozen of eggs. The
hen fruit was scattered all along the
track and only eighteen unbroken
eggs were found. Twenty others were
found with the shells cracked and the
remainder were all scrambled.
Planting Trees to Honor Soldiers.
Last fall the “Watchman” told of a
movement under consideration by the
Woman’s club of Lock Haven and the
Woman’s club of Bellefonte to plant
trees and shrubbery along the state
highway as memorials to the boys
who served in the world war. While
no definite action has yet been taken
the proposition has been brought to
the attention of the president of the
Board of Trustees of The Pennsylva-
' nia State College in the hope of en-
listing the aid of the horticultural de-
partment of that institution, and there
is good reason to believe that the Col-
lege will co-operate in the work to the
extent of its ability.
In the meantime the people of Wil-
liamsport and Lycoming county will
beat Centre and Clinton county to it
in the matter of creating such lasting
memorials. The Garden club of Wil-
liamsport have already placed an or-
der for approximately five thousand
trees and shrubs which will be planted
along the state highway between
Montoursville and Falls.
committee has been appointed and as
soon as the trees and shrubs are re-
ceived a force of one hundred volun-
teers will assist in the planting so
that the work can be done in one or
two days. Following is a list of the
trees and shrubs ordered by the Wil-
liamsport people: 100 bitter-sweets;
500 honeysuckle; 400 roses; 200 clem-
atis; 1000 white flowering dogwood;
400 forsythia interdemnia; 1000 tu-
lips; 500 jack pine; 500 white pine; 10
pussy willow; 10 honey locust; 10
pink flowering dogwood; 100 sour
cherries; 10 black walnut, and 100
hickory.
Bellefonte High School Mountain
League Champions.
The Bellefonte High school basket
ball team won the championship of
the Mountain High school basket ball
league by defeating” the Houtzdale
team on the armory floor, last Friday
evening, by the score of 38 to 30. Out
of the twelve league games played the
Bellefonte tossers won eleven, and out
of a total of twenty-two games play-
ed during the entire season Bellefonte
had twenty victories. The winning of
the Mountain league championship
gives the Bellefonte boys a place in
the interscholastic meet to be held at
State College today and tomorrow.
While some fast teams will no doubt
be in evidence at State College the
supporters of the Bellefonte team are
confident that they will give a good
account of themselves.

~~ MYERS.—Jacob H. Myers, prob-
ably better known to the people of
Bellefonte as «J. Hile Myers,” passed
away at his home at Rochester, N. Y.,
on Thursday of last week. He had
been in failing health the past two
years but was able to be up and
around the house until the day before
his death.
| Mr. Myers was born in Bellefonte
"in 1841, in the house on the corner of
‘ Bishop and Spring streets now occu-
' pied by Mrs. William McClure. His
| boyhood and youth were spent in
Bellefonte and when the war broke
out he enlisted for service in Compa-
‘ny B, Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers
i and made a very creditable record as
second sergeant. Returning from the
| war he had a hankering for the law
' But his inclination toward mechanics
and general business was stronger
than his taste for the law and he did
not seek admission to the bar but be-
came engaged in the manufacture and
Philadelphia and a year later to
became actively connected with the
| Rochester agricultural works.
In the latter seventies he returned
to Bellefonte and became landlord of
the Bush house, a position he filled
only a brief period. In 1881 he went
to Morristown,
years he was superintendent of the
Grain Binder works, returning to
Rochester in the latter part of 1882.
That city had been his home ever
since with the exception of ten months
"in the latter part of 1897 and early
part of 1898, which he spent on a trip
to the Klondyke.
Mr. Myers was of an inventive turn
. invented a ballot machine for voting.
He worked on it a number of years
until he had it perfected but in the
formation of a company for the man-
ufacture of the machine Mr. Myers
was literally frozen out and never re-
tion, although the voting machine is
now in general use in New York, and |
although perfected to a high degree
is manufactured over the original lines
designed by Mr. Myers. Later in life
Mr. Myers designed and made speci-
fications for special bank vaults and
inventive genius.
were copied far and wide. He was a
member of the G. A. R. and the Jef-
ferson club, of Rochester. In 1891 he
was nominated on the Democratic
ticket for State Senator in New York,
but was defeated at the polls and that
was his only venture in politics. He
was an enthusiastic advocate of any
and every movement that had as its
object the uplift of humanity and his
daily life was in accord with the doc-
trines he so sincerely preached.
Mr. Myers was married to Miss
Emma C. Smith, of Jersey Shore, and
she survives with the following chil-
dren: Dr. 0. M. Myers, of Rochester;
George Potter Myers, of Detroit,
Mich.; Mrs. Frank A. Youngs and Miss
Mabel L. Myers, of Rochester. His
funeral on Monday of this week was
largely attended and as evidence of
the esteem in which he was held in the
city of his adoption is the fact that
the pall-bearers who carried him to
his last resting place included Judge
William W. Webb, Judge Nelson E.
Sanford, Frank Keiper Esq., Bruce
Potter, editor of one of the leading
papers in Rochester; Albert Copeland
and Charles Erwin.

What the Anti-Saloon League Wants
to Know.
The Anti-Saloon League of Penn-
sylvania has mailed a questionnaire
to all aspirants for the General As-.
sembly in the State. Because consid-
eration of the enforcement of the Vol-
stead act will be a paramount issue in
the next session of the Legislature all
voters, both wet and dry, will proba-
bly take a lively interest in what the
men who are to represent them stand
for.
It is but natural that the Anti-Sa-
loon League does not propose to tem-
porize with any middle ground or
straddling aspirants so that it has set
about finding out just where all of
them stand through the questionnaire,
My Dear Sir:
You have announced yourself as a can-
didate for the Pennsylvania General As- |
sembly. The voters represented by the
Anti-Saloon League are solicitous to know !
whether in the event of your election you
will actively support a prohibition law en-
forcement code in harmony with the ex-
isting federal law enforcement code and
all other temperance measures that may |
will !
come before the Legislature? Also,
you oppose all liquor measures that may
be introduced and that are intended to
nullify existing Prohibition laws?
An early and favorable reply will be ap-
preciated.
Yours sincerely,
H. W. TOPE, Dist. Supt.
Among the Sick.

he took with him filled a big box car.
Mr. Erdley, father of Mrs. Miller, is.

Realty Company Being Organized to
Solve Housing Problems.
fonte held a meeting in the grand ju-
tion of organizing a realty company
as a means of solving the housing
problem in Bellefonte. George Hazel
acted as president of the meeting and
John M. Bullock secretary.
Robert F. Hunter stated that the
object was the organization of a stock
corporation with fifty thousand dol-
lars capital, or thereabouts, for the
purpose of purchasing sites and build-
ing houses for sale, either for all cash
or on the installment plan. Contrac-
| tor Benjamin Bradley stated that fair-
ly good houses, with all modern con-
veniences, could be built today for
from five to seven thousand dollars,
and if a number of them were con-
tracted for at one time, say eight or
duced because of the ability of the
contractor to buy everything that en-
tered into the construction of a house
lin large quantities.
A roll call of those present showed
! that fifteen were not only in favor of
' organizing such a company but that’
they would also take stock in the con-
corn. A motion was then passed that
such a company be organized at a
| meeting to be held April 16th when it
| is hoped that it will be possible to
| work out the proposition more in de-
| tail than it was possible to do at
| Tuesday evening’s meeting.
! As now planned the proposition is
not intended to be one of philanthro-
profit so that all stockholders can re-
alize a just return for the money they |
. may put into the concern. It was the
- general belief of those present at the
meeting that such homes as it is pro-
posed to build will find ready pur-
chasers right here in Bellefonte, and
| every such purchaser would release a
| house for rent to some one else.

To Protest Against Increase in Tele-

sylvania.

. as the proposition to lay a toll of ten
fonte, as well as tolls to other sections
of the county, and members of the
| college faculty have asked the people
| of Bellefonte to join in registering a
| vigorous protest against the increase
to the Public Service Commission.
The toll levy as it affects Bellefonte
| will be ten cents to State College and
Centre Hall and fourteen cents to
| Boalsburg, Spring Mills and Millheim.
‘In other words any call from Belle-
fonte that has to go through another
exchange in the county will be = ten
cents and if it goes through two ex-
changes fourteen cents. Tolls will
also be charged to all calls covered by
any one of the subsidiary companies,
or rural lines. It is understood that
all the rural companies will also en-
ter a protest against both the increase
in rentals as well as the tolls. Through
the Business Men’s association Belle-
fonte will also likely join in the pro-
test. :
protest can be filed with the Public
: Service Commission and already so
many protests have been filed from
different parts of the State that it will
take some time to hear them all. In
the meantime the Telephone company
will put the new schedule of rates in-
allowed, or allowed only in part by the
Commission when
. down a decision, the money collected
from patrons will have to be refund-
ed. Of course it is possible the Com-
| mission may grant the company the
right to increase its rates as per
schedule arranged.

Trout Fishing Season Will Open Next
Thursday.
Before another issue of the “Watch-
man” is issued the enthusiastic ang-
ler will have tried his skill at catch-
ing trout on the opening day of the
season, which will be next Thursday.
From the appearance of the trout
streams now conditions will not be at
all auspicious: for the first day. The
water is unusually high and in some
of the streams very cloudy. In the
few days that intervene until the
opening day there will hardly be
enough change to make fly fishing
even a good pastime, let alone a
pleasure.
Aside from the condition of the
streams there is one other thing that
will count very decidedly in making
_ the opening day a success, and that is
the number of trout. Ever since the
breakup of winter the streams have
been so high and cloudy that it has
been impossible to see if there are any
trout worth going after. Many of the
mountain streams were frozen almost
to the bottom for weeks during the
winter time and if the trout in them
did not perish they undoubtedly went
down stream to deeper waters. The
larger streams which did not freeze
would naturally not be affected in
this way. But the fact that trout
were not very plentiful last year does
not augur very well for a good catch
this year.
