INK SLINGS. —Judging from the way Harding has changed positions on every issue in the presidential contest if all of Marion had been one big front porch he couldn’t have stayed on it. _ Let us send Frank Naginey to represent us at Harrisburg. He is well fitted for the place and, besides, he didn’t grab the nomination away from any one who had a better claim to it than he had. — Tom Beaver really doesn’t want to go to the Legislature. All he want- ed to do was keep Ives Harvey from going. He did that, so his mission in local politics is fulfilled and why bother him further. — When the bill to give land to the ex-soldiers of the world war was be- fore the Senate on November 11th, 1918, Senator Penrose put his seal of opposal on the measure by remark- ing: “I do not think the country would suffer much if the bill never was heard of.” —That “Big Green Team” from Hanover that played State, last Sat- urday, was just a bit too green. And we are of the opinion that Bezdek, Harlow, Martin & Co., have a victory, rather than a draw, to jubilate over largely because of the superior phys- ical condition of their men. —_ What a lovely fall! It is the fif- teenth of October and many folks are still gathering vegetables and pluck- ing flowers from their gardens, far- mers are making second-crop hay and an occasional bare-footed boy is seen. How lovely it all sounds. How serene and undisturbed the coal pile lies. Yet, no man knoweth what the mor- row may bring forth. — Our Congressman spent a few days in Centre county during the week. We had a glimpse of him while here. He is rather an imposing look- ing gentleman, but the records in Washington prove that looks are often deceptive. Better send Jim Connelly down there so that the country may know that the Twenty-first District really has a Member in the House. — Harding has finally gone over to the bitter-enders. He has announced himself as being irrevocably opposed to any kind of a League or inter- national peace agreement. The issue is consequently clean cut. He is not for safeguarding, insofar as it is hu- manly possible, your sons from the dangers of another world conflagra- tion. Governor Cox is. If you believe in peace vote for Cox. If you don’t care a damn what happens vote for Harding. —The Hon. Evan Jones, of Brad- ford, who poses as the Congressman from the Twenty-eighth district, held the focus in the Republican limelight in Bellefonte the early part of the week. Evan is basking in the assur- ance that the G. O. P. elephant has an open trail blazed to the White House and he will be able to sneak in with the crowd, but he is liable to wake up with a shock on the morning of No- vember third and discover that it was the Democratie Jackass that won the race and that Jimmie Connelly was hanging onto its tail as it went under the wire at the judge’s stand. —If Governor Sproul does for The Pennsylvania State College what the statements he made there last Satur- day morning implied his administra- | tion will go down in history as one of really notable achievement. We have misjudged the Governor if he is a man whose vision does not reach beyond the horizon of political expediency. And feeling that we have not, we are rather more hopeful of the genuine- | ness of his motives than we were when some of his predecessors made statements somewhat similar in years gone by. The name of Sproul would be indissolubly associated with the en- tire educational system of the Com- monwealth if through his intercession The Pennsylvania State College were to be lifted out of the mendicant class and put in a position where it can be more concerned about giving a real education to ALL the boys and girls of Pennsylvania than it is about keep- ing its head above water while trying to be helpful to a few of them. __Just listen to this. Wasn’t it aw- ful? “We had nothing whatever in the way of proper nourishing food for our sick and wounded men during most of the time. We had no hospital tent at all. We had no cots. During most of the time the wounded men laid on the muddy ground, without blankets, until some of the well men cut their own blankets in half. On several occasions I visited the big hos- pitals in the rear. Their condition was frightful beyond description from lack of supplies, lack of medicine, lack of doctors, nurses and attendants.” Think of such a condition of affairs when your boy might have been one of the sick or wounded. Yet that is ex- actly what it was, but not in France. The horrors described above happened in 1898, when we were at war with Spain and the quoted description of them above is from the late Theodore Roosevelt's letter of protest to the Secretary of War of a Republican ad- ministration. Then we raised an ar- my of only 250,000 men and sent only 20,000 of them a few hundred miles to Cuba to eat rotten beef and die for want of equipment and medicine. In the late war, under a Democratic ad- ministration, two million men were sent three thousand miles and every one of them had every comfort and at- tention that human ingenuity could ive them. You have read no such re- ports of 1917 as Col. Roosevelt wrote of in 1898. govarghe ihe guarantee. pea | Aegon STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. BER 15, 1920. NO. 41. VOL. 65. Harding Touches the Limit of Bad | Faith. In a speech at DesMoines, Iowa, the other day, Senator Harding literally | scrapped the League of Nations. Forced to a choice between former President Taft and Senator Borah, he ' joined the bitter enders. No doubt he felt that he had nothing to fear from Taft in any event. A fat man ob- sessed with a lust for office is not for- midable. He has neither pride of opinion nor spirit of resentment. Borah is a forceful demagogue capa- ble of inflicting damages. Taft is a jelly fish hugging the hope of an easy seat on some court bench. Harding being without courage or principle fell easily for the bluff of the bully and bought the support of Borah and Johnson by sacrificing patriotism and honor. Of course this incident will not turn Taft from his pledge to campaign for the election of Harding. But it may influence Mr. Root, Mr. Wickersham and others who believe in the League of Nations and have been assured that Harding favors some sort of an international agreement that will make for peace. Mr. Wickersham vis- ited Harding at Marion and obtained such a promise. Mr. Root as the rep- resentative of the United States in the conference created by the covenant of the League of Nations to form a court is morally bound to favor the comple- tion of his own work. These consid- erations will hold them as it will com- pel others who earnestly favor the League to resent Harding’s surrender to Borah. But the resentment ought not to end there. Every right minded citizen of the country ought to condemn the shilly-shallying of Harding on the question of the League of Nations. As Senator he voted several times to rat- ify the covenant with the Lodge reser- vations. In his speech of acceptance he declared that he favored an inter- national agreement to guarantee peace. In a subsequent speech he de- clared that he would put teeth in the Hague Tribunal, to serve the purpose. But under the threat of Senators Bor- ah and Johnson he now repudiates both these pledges and declares against any agreement with other CR. OF: | | or any other purpose. That is the limit in the line of bad faith. Women are interested in the League of Nations, of course, but they are also interested in the new oppor- tunity that has been given them through the franchise. One of the op- portunities is to take a crack at a few | of the statesmen who thought they weren't fit to vote. One of these. statesmen is Senator Penrose and if | he doesn’t hear from the women vot- ers next month the “Watchman” will | be very much fooled. i for Rumania and Servia that “if their | | countries were attacked he would ' send American troops and war ships | Taft’s Lofty Tumbling. As if to emphasize the protubei- ance of the dilemma upon the horn of which ex-President Taft has impaled | himself, Governor Cox has made pub- | lic some correspondence between our fat friend and President Wilson in re- | lation to the covenant of the League | of Nations. It appears that Mr. Taft | was very free with suggestions as to | the phraseology of the covenant. The! President, relying upon the integrity | 1 i of purpose of his predecessor in office, | iT cordially received all Mr. Taft's sug- gestions and according to the. White House records “every suggestion of Mr. Taft was followed literally.” But that was before chairman Will Hays pumped promises of office into the am- bitious ears of the ex-President. : Mr. Taft’s suggestions related to, the Monroe Doctrine and domestic questions. The original draft of the covenant was entirely satisfactory to the ex-President but he was apprehen- sive of trouble with the Senators. He felt certain that his suggestions ior alterations of the provision relating te the Monroe Doctrine “would carry the treaty but others would make it cer- tain.” But he volunteered sugges- tions as to how the President should present the matter to the Senate and the public. He should argue on “the necessity of the League, the impossi- bility to secure peace without it, the dreadful unrest in Europe and the need of the League to stableize and to resist Bolshevism.” President Wilson is himself right handy with language but in his de- sire to show full appreciation of Mr. Taft’s interest in the matter, did pre- cisely as that corpulent gentleman de- sired. He assured Mr. Taft that he would not yield any of the principles embodied in the covenant and made no reply to his suggestion that fear concerning the tariff was the real cause of the original opposition to the treaty. That might have been offen- sive to such unselfish patriots as Pen- rose and Lodge and increased their zeal in opposition. But the promise of office seems to have taken all the interest in the subject out of Taft and he is now himself advancing the very BELLEFONTE, ‘ speech delivered arguments against it that he pretend- ed he feared. Peace or War the Issue. The manifest purpose of the Republi- can campaign managers is to shift the issue from the League of Nations to something else not clearly expressed. Senator Lodge would make President Wilson the issue because he hates the President and imagines that a consid- erable proportion of the people share in his prejudices. Senator Penrose would like to make protective tariff the issue, because the public was fool- ed in so many previous campaigns by that false pretense. Chairman Hays frankly repudiates all principles and bases his hopes of victory entirely on the power of money. Each of these leaders has followers in the ranks and councils of the organization. League of Nations would succeed for the time being President Wilson gave notice that the question would be de- termined by a national referendum at the election this fall. That fixed inev- itably the issues of the campaign. The League of Nations meant “peace on earth, good will among men.” The | defeat of it necessarily involved wars at brief intervals and big and expen- sive armies and navies during the periods between them. The League meant prosperity and fraternity. The defeat of it invited the sacrifice of life and the waste of treasure. With full understanding of the subject Republi- can managers elected to scrap the | League. Now that the such an issue has dawned upon them Republican managers want to change the issue. It can’t be done. The lines are drawn. The Democratic party fa- vors the League of Nations and the rulers of the Republican organization are opposed to it. Neither side can retreat from its line of battle. The proposition to array Wilsonism against Penroseism is alluring to many and would work wonders in Pennsylvania where the records of both men are known. But the League of Nations and what it stands for are the issues of this campaign and no ex- pedient can altar or switch them. It is a matter of peace or war, poverty or prosperity. Let the voters make their choice. SATA REN Sr ACEI ‘When President Monroe declar- ed the Monroe Doctrine the poulation i of the United States was about 12,- 1 000,000 but he was unafraid. Now with a population of 105,000,000 Re- publican statesmen are afraid that expanding it so as to cover more ter- ritory would be disastrous. Spencer’s Falsehood Refuted. Senator Spencer, of Missouri, in a recently said that during one of the sessions of the | Peace Conference at Versailles Presi- dent Wilson assured the delegates to protect them.” As soon as this statement reached the White House | President Wilson instructed secretary ! Tumnlty to inform Spencer that he had made no such statement to any- body or at any place. Thereupon Senator Spencer reiterated the state- ment and added that the official sten- ographic records of the Conference was his evidence. That raised a di- rect question of veracity between em. The official stenographic records of the Peace Conference are in the pos- session of President Wilson and show that no such statement as that alleged by Senator Spencer was uttered by President Wilson. The President did say that the United States together with all other members of the League of Nations would be morally bound te protect the small and weak nations which were members from outside ag- gressions and expressed the belief that the people of the United States are equal to the task of fulfilling their obligations. But on every occasion that the subject was discussed Presi- dent Wilson always held in view the fact that Congress alone has authority to declare war. But this direct and substantial proof that Senator Spencer had falsi- fied has had no deterrent influence on his mind. He continues to reassert the statement. The official stenogra- pher of the Peace Conference has of- fered to make affidavit to the accura- cy of the records in possession of the President, but even that has not stop- ped his lying tongue. Since the evi- dence was produced he has repeated the charge and strangely enough Sen- ator Wadsworth, of New York, has supported him. This shows clearly that a conspiracy to malign the Pres- ident is at work. But it will not suc- ceed. Without corroborative evidence the people would believe Wilson and with the records to support him his enemies must yield. — The corn crop is the biggest ever but Kentucky’s interest in the subject vanished when the Eighteenth amendment te the constitution went into force. 'A., OCTO full significance of . en ABE an AN - i i Women and Their Vote. . We have no doubts as to the intelli- i gence of the women voters of Penn- | sylvania. Their mental equipment is | equal in every respect to that of the { opposite sex. We are equally confi- ! dent of the integrity of their purpose in exercising their newly acquired right to the franchise. So far as our observation goes there is no need of self-appointed male instructors to show them how to mark their ballots. Their intuition will teach them, not only how to mark their ballots, but how to discriminate in the choice of candidates. Naturally a good many women will vote as their husbands or Possibly some of them ! | will vote the other way, for spite. And : When it became certain that the Senatorial conspiracy to scrap the fathers vote. some may do so for better reasons. The “Watchman” is among the | foremost of those progressive journals of the country which favored woman suffrage. | the event that the enfranchisement of | Women would exercise a wholesome influence on public affairs. It is not “invidious to say that they havea than men and it was our idea that in the main they would be guided by ' conscience rather than expediency in exercising the franchise. We see no reason now to alter this opinion. The ! matter will be put to a test, however, at the coming election and we confi- * dently hope it will not be disappoint- ing. In fact we have every reason to believe our best expectations will be fulfilled. The election of next month involves issues which appeal peculiarly to women. In the vote for President the question is peace or war. Governor Cox stands four square for permanent peace. Senator Harding has publicly turned his back on the only instru- ment through which it is possible to secure enduring peace. A promise of any other agency is simply “a prom- ise to the ear, to be broken to the hope.” All civilization except our- selves are in the League of Nations and none will abandon it to take chances with another. Therefore if the women want peace they will vote for Cox. If they believe in public morality they will as certainly vote for Major Farrell for U. S. Senator. It is a safe bet that Senator Harding never read the covenant of the League of Nations. The alterna- tive is that he hasn't intelligence enough to understand it and as he is an editor we can’t admit that. — Labor organizations through- out the country are very much exer- | cised over the increase of immigration ‘to the United States from foreign | countries, which has now reached a | prorata of one million unskilled work- men a year, and Commissioner Con- nelly, of the Department of Labor and ' Industry, Harrisburg, is advising all men who have good jobs to stick to them under any and all circumstances. Both the above tidbits of information | would indicate that the time is fast approaching when men will go beg- . ging for jobs instead of jobs beseech- ting for men. The natural result will | surely mean a decrease in wages. Now the “Watchman” is in favor of ade- i quate pay for all kinds of labor but we also maintain that labor should give a just return for the wages re- ceived, and this has not been the case in many instances. Just the other day the writer saw two men at work un- loading a carload of sand and being particularly attracted by, the fact that they were not unduly over-exerting themselves we took the trouble to Ea off an average of eleven shovelsful of sand a minute. — Reading the announcement of Miss Rebecca Naomi Rhoads to the ef- fect that she is not a candidate for the Legislature, we note that she qualifies her statement by adding “this year.” Are we to infer that this is notice to Mr. Naginey that if he doesn’t behave when he goes to Harrisburg Miss Re- becea will step in and try to do to him what Tom Beaver did to Ives Harvey. — The old western vigilance stop the stealing of automobiles. It proved effective with horse and cattle thieves. ——————————————————— — Nobody had to put Senator Spencer, of Missouri, into the Anani- as club. He put himself there with the stupidest lie of the campaign. ——What would Bismarck have said to France in 1871 if that stricken country had whined about cruel exac- tions ? idea is revealed every time Harding opens his mouth away from it. —————— — Borah and Johnson are deter- mined that they shall own the Presi- dent if he is a Republican. ————————————————————— — What's the use in wasting time exposing the follies of a fat man?

From the Philadelphia Record. The above caption is borrowed from Theodore Roosevelt. It is a chapter | heading in his book, “America and the ‘World War.” It presents precisely | the issue, according to Mr. Roosevelt, that now divides the Presidential can- didates. After three months of shilly- shallying Senator Harding has chosen the side of hell; Governor Cox has from the first been on what Mr. Roosevelt said was called Utopian, but which he insisted was entirely practicable. He said: The only alternative to war, that is, to hell, is the adoption of some plan sub- stantially like that which I herein advo- cate, and which has itself been called Uto- pian. * * # Jn its essence this plan means that there shall be a great in- | ternational treaty for the peace of right- ‘ eousness. > * * Finally, and most important of all, this treaty shall put force back of righteousness, shall provide a i method of securing by the exercise of force the observance of solemn interna- | tional obligations. This Is te be accom- plished by all the powers covenanting to | put their whole strength back of the ful- | fillment of the treaty obligations. This, it will be observed, involves | obligating the nation for the future, | which the Republican Senators refuse to do, and it involves the possible use | of American forces in foreign coun- | tries to prevent war and to compel | justice. Mr. Roosevelt urged every- | thing that Mr. Harding repudiates. i Mr. Roosevelt said in explaining his | plan: | All the civilized powers which are able { and willing to furnish and to use force, | when force is required, to back up right- | eousness * * should join to create an international tribunal, and to provide rules in accordance with which that tribunal should act. These rules i would have to accept the status quo at some given period; for the endeavor to re- | dress all historical wrongs would throw us back into chaos. They would lay down ' the rule that the territorial integrity of i each nation was inviolate; that it was to { be guaranteed absolutely its sovereign i rights in certain particulars. * ” | Then, and most important, the nations : should severally guarantee to use their en- | tire military force, if necessary, against , any nation which defied the decrees of the i tribunel, or which violated any of the rights which in the rules it was express- ly stipulated should be reserved to the sev- eral nations, their sovereignty and rights to their territorial integrity, and the like. | * Here is the whole of aiticle Thin al-’ | most identical language. Here-is the | guarantee of territorial integrity and | political independence as they existed lat a given period, to wit, when the | peace treaty was signed. And here is | the pledge—which goes much beyond | the peace treaty—to use the entire | military force of the covenanting na- | tions, if need be, to enforce obedience {to this compact. In Article X the | Council is to advise, but Mr. Roose- | velt insisted that the members of the | League should be bound from the be- | ginning to use their entire military force, if necessary, to compel compli- ance with the rules of the League ox the decisions of the arbitrations. Here, too, is the flat contradiction of everything Mr. Harding means by his “America First.” Mr Roosevelt wrote the book to denounce President Wilson for not going to the rescue of Belgium under the authority of The Hague conventions. Mr. Harding is shocked at the idea of using Ameri- can troops outside of America. Mr. Roosevelt blackguarded Mr. Wilson for not doing it and insisted that this nation should go into a league bound to use all their force anywhere to compel compliance with the rules for maintaining a “peace of righteous- ness.” According to Mr. Harding Theodore Roosevelt did not know what Ameri- canism was. Do the Republican vot- ers believe that? i Back to Roosevelt. From the Springfield Republican. While Mr. Harding is bemoaning the fate of the Constitution under the assaults of Wilsonian autocracy, one is reminded of Mr. Roosevelt's “new nationalism,” which, preached just ten | years ago, became the foundation of the principles of the Progressive par- ty. Mr. Harding has repeatedly as- serted that if Mr. Roosevelt had lived no one would have supported him for President this year with greater en- thusiasm than himself. . In his famous Osawatomie speech, Mr. Roosevelt declared: “This new nationalism regards the | executive power as the steward of the public welfare.” If Mr. Wilson is an autocrat, al- ways encroaching on the powers of other departments of the Government, what was Mr. Roosevelt, who “took | Panama and let Congress debate it afterwards,” who established the re- ceivership for San Domingo and was the first President to order Amer- jcan “penetration” into the island | of Hayti in order that European cred- itors might not make trouble for the United States by insisting upon the diplomatic support of their home gov- ernments in collecting their debts from the Haytian and Dominican Re- publics ? ——————————— — The farmer has never received such returns for his toil as he has dur- ing the past eight years. If he votes for Cox for President he stands a far better chance of having them contin- ued than he does if he votes for Hard- ing, for Harding is on record as hav- ing said that a dollar is a very fair price for a bushel of wheat. CURE, SPAWLS FROM THE KEYSTONE. — Thieves expected to make a big haul Thursday night when they broke into am express car at Mt. Carmel and escaped with a large safe, which was blown open in a mine eave. It contained only an old revolver and old railroad records. —A vein of coal said to be seven feet thick has been uncovered at the Allen & Watts drift near Leolyn, on McIntyre mountain, in Bradford county. Much of the coal from these workings is hauled to Canton, which insures warmth for citizens of that section, no matter how are the rail- road transportation difficulties. __As sentence of three months was pro- nounced on William G. Harris, of New Or- leans, in court at Lancaster on Friday morning he whipped out a stiletto and slashed his throat. A negro prisoner im the same dock made a mad rush to get away, as he thought the stiletto would be used on him. Harris was found guilty of assisting a lottery at the fair. His condi- tion is eritical. —Tony Puntanio, alleged gunman, of Trenton, N. J., was convicted of murder in the first degree at Wilkes-Barre last week, for the murder of Detective Sam Luchino, at Pittston, August last. The murder was connected with the Pennsylvania’ Coal company strike in which Luchino was ac- tive, the Commonwealth contending that Italian contractors had paid Puntanio $3,- 500 to go to Pittston and kill Luchino. — John A. Bastian, district forester at Mount Union, Huntingdon county, has re- signed to become forester for the Rock Hill Coal and Iron company, at Roberts- dale, Huntingdon county. He will have su- pervision over the 20,000 acres of timberland owned by the company. The Department of Forestry has offered the vacancy at Mount Union to W. M. High, who was for- merly a state forester at Aitch, Hunting- don county. __The theft of two pearl necklaces val- ued at more than $100,000 from the home of George McFadden Jr., of Villanova, was reported to the police department of Phil- adelphia on Monday night. The jewels were taken from a case in Mrs. McFadden’s bedroom between midnight Friday and 9 o'clock Saturday morning. The police be- lieve the thief entered a window from the poreh roof, while the family were all om the first floor. When the Washington-Buffalo fiyer struck the car of Merrill Lentz, at Sunbury on Saturday, the car was crumpled up, rolled into a ball of debris and tossed aside by the rushing train. Bystanders who thought the boy killed, were amazed when he crawled out unassisted from the wreck and ruefully viewing the remains of a new automobile, said: “Gee, I'm glad I'm alive.” The big locomotive was sO damaged that it had to be shopped. — Running up the tracks waving her arms, Mrs. Ralph Shannon succeeded in stopping a fast Pennsylvania freight near Sunbury on Tuesday, just before it would have crashed into the automobile in which her little children were riding, which had stalled on the tracks. Mrs. Shannon did not have time to carry the little ones to safety before the train would have been upon them. Members of the train crew pushed the machine from the tracks. —A large herd of cows on Abraham Isett’s farm in Greenfield township, Blair county, has virtually gone dry as a result of eating apples. The cows got into the orchard and feasted on fallen apples, with the result that at evening the flow of milk fluid was materially reduced. Next morn- ing the amount was still less, and by even- ing the milking process was unproductive in most instances. Old farmers say thata diet of apples invariably will result in cows going dry. —Following the findings of examiners and upon the orders of the comptroller of the currency, the Broad Top National bank of Six Mile Run, about twenty-eight miles south of Huntingdon, has been clos- ed. The bank’s last statement of condi- tion showed deposits of $130,000. The in- stitution served a clientelle principally of coal operators and miners. John Meln- tyre, president, and F. R. Cunningham, cashier, declare the suspension of business will only be temporary. Attacked by a bull, Wilson Sheeiz, a farmer, aged 50 years, of Rockefeller town- ship, Northumberland county, was tossed and trampled early on Saturday until he became unconscious. He was thrown over a fence by the last rush. This prevented his being killed. Mr. Sheetz struck the bull with a hay fork, causing it to attack him. He seized the ring in the bull's nose, which tore out and the pain caused the an- imal to gore him again and again. Doc- tors say Sheetz may recover. — It is hoped that the Children’ Asylum for the Altoona diocese will be opened at Ebensburg the first of January. The building has been obtained from the Sis- ters of St. Joseph, by Bishop E. A. Garvey, of the Altoona diocese, and the Sisters will discontinue their girls’ academy, which has been conducted for some years, in or- der to provide room for the use of the orphanage children. Only children from the Altoona diocese and under six years of age will be admitted to the asylum. — While the police and a large crowd watched them, robbers late Sunday after- noon entered the saloon of William Ganc- kus, in the heart of the business district of Pottsville, loaded his safe on a truck and drove away, after carefully locking the place. They were thought to be transfer men employed by the owner. The safe contained cash in the sum of about $2500 and a number of Liberty Bonds. It was found early Monday morning near Land- ingville, six miles south of Pottsville, blown open and rifled. -—A near riot occurred on Sunday morn- ing in the Slovak Lutheran church, at Ha- zleton, over factional differences of long standing and the police had to be called. By the time they arrived the disturbers had fled, but warrants were sworn out for their arrest on Monday. The Rev. John Hudry, pastor; was assaulted during the progress of a meeting and a score of the participants were hurt, though none of them seriously. One of the factions has been demanding the dismissal of the pas- tor, who asserts that the opposition has no standing on the rolls of the congregation. —Cornell. Coyle, the alleged yegg cap- tured at Harrisburg by state police, has been identified by residents of Milroy as one of the two men who visited that vil- lage last week under the guise of umbrel- la menders. Coyle is under suspicion of having cracked the safe of the postoffice and general store at Naginey, Sunday night, October 3rd, from which the robbers obtained $10,000 in securities, $500 in cash and $300 in thrift and postage stamps. The identification is questioned, however, as the same two umbrella menders were seen in Lewistown Thursday, or after the arrest of Coyle in Harrisburg.
