But More Money Also Needed, Says Fish Commissioner N. R. Buller. Fish Commissioner N. R. Buller is an advocate of a resident fishermen’s license as the only means of securing sufficient funds to carry on the work of fish propagation in the State as it should be. Commissioner Buller came to Bellefonte last Friday in response to an invitation to address a meeting of the Centre county association for the preservation of fish and game. On Friday afternoon he was taken on an automobile trip down Nittany valley, up Fishing creek, through Brush val- ley into Pennsvalley, where he was shown Elk creek, Penns creek and all the good trout streams on his trip. While Commissioner Buller has visit- ed Bellefonte previous to his trip last week he had never made a trip of in- spection along the streams visited on Friday and he was very much surpris- ed to find so many good trout streams. In fact, he was so much impressed that privately he pledged the very ut- most assistance that he can give to- wards a liberal stocking of all the streams during the present year. A very good gathering of fishermezn was present at the meeting held in the court house Friday evening. In the absence of the president of the asso- ciation, Mr. F. W. Crider, vice presi- dent Charles M. McCurdy presided. He told as the object of the meeting the furthering of the movement to conserve the fish in the streams of Centre county and the game in the forests. In this connection he called on Charles E. Dorworth, a member of the Water Commission of Pennsylva- nia, to tell what has already been done. Mr. Dorworth told of the work done last year towards stocking the streams with trout furnished by the State, and in addition stated that through United States Senator Boies Penrose the association has secured the promise of a car load of trout and bass from the U. S. fisheries. In fact a periion of the car load has already been received and the trout put in the streams in the Snow Shoe region, while the major portion of the con- signment is expected to reach Belle- fonte most any day now and when they do the trout will be put in the various trout streains and the bass in Bald Eagle. Mr. Dorworth also read a letter from Senator Penrose in which he expressed the great interest he had always felt in Centre county and the pleasure he experienced when- ever he had an opportunity of visiting | this section, and further assured the | association of his assistance in any way in the matter of conservation of | the fish and game. Commissioner Buller was then in- troduced and he spoke of the work the fish hatcheries were doing toward keeping up the supply of fish in the streams of the State. He stated that in 1919 in the neighborhood of two million trout, from three to six inches in length had been put into the various trout streams, but that the number ought to be ten times that every year. To do this, however, would require more hatcheries and the enlargement of present plants to their fullest ca- pacity. And this, naturally, would re- quire very much more money than the annual appropriations granted to the Department of Fisheries. And this is the reason he advocates a resident fishermen’s license law. It is the only way that a permanent fund can be se- cured and maintained with which to carry on the work of fish propagation. Mr. Buller stated that there are four thousand streams and 245 lakes in Pennsylvania to look after and a lim- ited number of trout won’t go very far in stocking all of them. He stated that in 1919 fifteen thous- and permits had been issued for the , use of nets in taking carp, suckers, i and eels from the streams, and the to- . tal catch-of these kinds of fish was 250 tons, according to the returns’ made to the Department by each li- cense holder. Mr. Buller also told of fish and 2s an illustration of how im- { portant that branch of the work is he | stated that last year the catch of such I fish in the Pennsylvania waters of | Lake Erie aggregated 12,500 tons, | quite an item in the fish food supply | of the State. One of the worst things the com- mission has to deal with now is stream | ! pollution, which is very destructive of ! fish. Every effort is being made to | combat this menace but it is a hard thing to fight owing to the difficulty in securing convictions. At the conclusion of Commissioner Buller’s talk a resolution of thanks was given him for his talk and inter- est in Centre county and another res- olution was passed thanking Senator | Penrose for his assistance and inter- est in Centre county. Before the meeting adjourned a res- olution was passed establishing a membership fee of one dollar a year in the association, in order to secure ja fund with which to defray the ex- pense of trucks in hauling trout from | railroad stations to stock the streams of the county, and members are re- | quested to pay the fee to John Cur- tin, treasurer. memes nee eer seme eet ——The reunion of the Fifth regi- ment Pennsylvania volunteers, Span- ish.

Buck Dunsmore, a young color- ed man of Allegheny county, was electrocuted at the Rockview peniten- tiary on Tuesday morning.

Row- land’s case is up for a hearing before the Supreme court and he was grant- ed a respite. i Surveys of the location for the new milk station on the Thomas prop- erty, Bellefonte, were made on Satur- day and the plans for the plant are now being prepared. While it is the intention of the promoters to begin building operations in the early sum- mer it will take several months to build it, so that it will probably be late in the summer before it is ready for operation. / Aviator J. T. Murphy, who was so badly injured in an airplane wreck on Sunday, April 18th, continues to improve and his chances for a perma- nent recovery are now excellent. He is still undergoing treatment in the Bellefonte hospital. Pilot Krader, who sustained some minor cuts and ing in a field filled with stumps, near Gordon, last Thursday, was around the next day and is now as fit as ever. Tuesday’s wet weather had a | somewhat dampening effect on the Odd Fellows reunion at Milton ans very materially interfered with the at- | tendance from Bellefonte. In fact, in- stead of the large crowd that was ex- pected to take advantage of the spe- cial train which left here at 6:30 o'clock, just ninety-nine tickets were sold. Of course, delegations were picked up at other stations along the line so that Centre county turned out a fairly good representation. em ——The first forest fire of the year up in the Barrens occurred Friday Afternoon and this was one time that | the Bellefonte Central Railroad com- | pany was in luck. The fire broke out only about a half hour before the afternoon train went through the Bar- rens and the ssction men had been called upon to help put it out, so there is no possible chance of blaming it on | the railroad company. In any event | the fire fighters succeeded in extin- i guishing the flames before they gain- ed great headway or did much dam- age. ——W. Homer Crissman on Wed- inesday received through the Red | Cross a photograph and enlarged folder of the grave of his son, Bugler Frank B. Crissman, who was killed in ‘France during the world war. The | photograph shows a beautiful spot in the Argonne American cemetery, and the grave, which is surmounted by a “cross is No. 67, section 102, plot 2, city 1232. Bugler Crissman, who was a member of Company A, military po- lice, 28th division, went out with old Troop L and trained at Camp Han- cock. His army serial number was 1258666. Naturally the Crissman family will prize the photo of his last | resting place furnished through the I kind thoughtfulness of the Red Cross. ——Among the many changes made in railroad managements after the | roads were turned back from govern- | men control to private ownership was ‘the elevation of J. Claude Dawson, of ' Philadelphia, to the position of com- mercial freight agent of the Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western rail- road. The announcement was only cne of hundreds of changes and pro- motions made but the editors of the “Watchman” observed it with a great deal of satisfaction, as it shows just what a boy can make of himself if he is possessed of the right kind of de- termination. Mr. Dawson was born | in Bellefonte, a son of Mr. and Mrs. {| John Dawson. His father is dead and | his mother is now Mrs. Harvey Grif- fith. As a boy he came to the “Watch- man” office on the hunt of work and was given employment as the “devil.” In addition to his duties in this office he sold the Pennsylvania Grit in his off hours. In this way he got his start in thrift and industry. When seventeen years of age he “vent to Philadelphia and in time got employ- , ment with the Reading railroad com- pany. While the “Watchman” has failed to keep track of his every ad- | vancement since, the fact.that he has now been elevated to such an impor- tant position shows that it has always | been upwards, and we extend him our | heartiest congratulations. His offices in Philadelphia are at Broad and Spruce streets. See the Golden Dragon! A 7th, the annual High school play giv- . The specialties are sure! bruises when he made a forced land- | Young Man Ageted for Stealing Automobile. A young man who gives his age as sevenieen years was arrested in Belle- fonte last Saturday morning by sher- iff Harry Dukeman on the charge of ‘stealing an automobile. The youth drove into Bellefonte late Friday afternoon with a big Cadillac car so ‘covered with mud that it was almost impossible to tell the make of car. He parked the car on High street in ‘front of Moerschbacher’s restaurant where it stood a short time, then he drove down to the Sunnyside plant of the American Lime & Stone compa- ny and going to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jeffe Confer told a hard luck story about being on his way to Pitts- burgh and out of funds, and the Con- fers very generously kept him over night, giving him his breakfast. Saturday forenoon he drove up town and up jail hill above Naginey’s where he was in the act of parking his car when the sheriff started down town. He approached the young man and immediately commented upon the fact that he was driving a pretty nice car. The sheriff then asked where he got it and the young man said he had bought it here the day before. The car had a New York license and when the sheriff asked the young man how he accounted for that he took to his heels with the sheriff after him. The chase led down High street to the Pennsylvania railroad, down the rail- {road to Lamb street, then across the | creek and around the old electric light building. There the trail was lost for a few minutes but not for long as the boy was soon caught in the McNich- ol’s hen house, where he had taken refuge. When taken to jail he gave his name as Harold Ackerman, and said he was a son of E. O. Ackerman, of Akron, Ohio. He stated that he had left a school at Delaware, Ohio, and made his way to New York where he worked a week or so in a garage, but grew tired of the job. About nine o'clock last Wednesday evening, he said, he was walking along Riverside Drive, N. Y., when he saw a big car standing alongside the street and no- body around, so he got in and drove off, heading west. When he reached Bellefonte he had only a penny in his : pockets. {On Sunday the young man contra- dicted his first story by telling the sheriff that he was from Pittsburgh instead of Akron, and among the few things found upon him were two let- ters addressed to “Ralph Miller,” so that up to the writing of this article nothing definite is known as to who he is or where he is from. The license tags on the car were No. 130,643, but these had evidently been taken from another car as the correct plates, No. 108,196, were found under the seat of the car. The sher- iff has communicated with the author- ities at New York to find out the own- er of the car, but up to yesterday he had heard nothing regarding the car or the boy. Week to be Observed in Bellefonte. Children’s The continent-wide campaign for the extension of religious educational work will be waged in Bellefonte by the observance of “children’s week,” May 2nd to 9th, inclusive, under the auspices of the children’s division of the International Sunday school as- sociation. The program for the week will consist of sermons by the various pastors especially applicable to the needs of religiously educating the children as well as the parents’ re- sponsibility in this important work. A community survey will be made on Sunday afternoon, May 2nd, for the purpose of taking a census of the children and ascertaining their Sun- day school affiliations. The various Sunday school superintendents will select their committees to assist in making the survey, and a meeting of superintendents and committees will be held at the Methodist church at two o’clock on Sunday afternoon when the work of each will be outlined. The town will be divided into districts and several members of each committee assigned to make the survey in a district. A story hour for children will be held Saturday afternoon, May 8th, in the Bellefonte High school building, from 3 to 4 o'clock, and a mother’s get-together meeting on Sunday afternoon, May 9th, at 3 o’clock. The committees selected to arrange for these meetings are as follows: Children’s story telling hour—El- eanor Weston, chairman; Mrs. James Craig, Blanche McGarvey and Bela Barnhart, with Miss Rachael Shuey in charge of the music. Mother’s meeting—Mrs. Anna C. Woodcock, chairman; Mrs. J. E. Le- Barre, Mrs. Harry Boyer, Mrs. Charles Mensch, Mrs. John Blanchard, | Mrs. R. S. Brouse and Mrs. James | Matthews. Carload of Tombstones Mostly Whis- key. A story comes from Tyrone that one day last week a box car was cut out of an east-bound freight train and sent to the Tyrone shops for repairs. The car was sealed and marked load- ed with tombstones. In order to make the repairs, so the story goes, it was necessary for the workmen to get in- side the car. Consequently the seal was broken and the door opened. Sure enough, all around the doors were piled tombstones but when these were removed it was discovered that the balance of the car was filled with whiskey, barrels and barrels of it. i Revenue officers, it is said, were | promptly notified of the discovery, but ; we have so far failed to learn just ! what became of the whiskey. da NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Mrs. Eben Bower was a guest over Sunday of her sister, Mrs. E.
