Congressman Jones and Prohibition. | Congressman Evan J. Jones has at- tended two sessions of Congress dur- ing his incumbency. He never missed an opportunity to vote against Pres- ident Wilson’s wishes or desires. He has succeeded, by methods known only to himself, in getting the Prohibition endorsement after the party candi- date withdrew, regardless of the fact that he never cast a vote for or against prohibition while in Congress. There were fourteen different resolu- tions affecting prohibition passed up- on by Congress during Mr. Jones’ term. Upon eight of these he “pair- ed” with Congressman Crago, Repub- lican, and did not vote or even “pair” on the remaining six. When the ap- propriation for use in the enforce- ment of the Volstead Act was before Congress and the demand of superin- tendent Kramer for $15,000,000 was cut down to $3,000,000 Mr. Jones hadn’t a word to say or a vote to give either for or against. He was escorted over Centre coun- ty two weeks ago by well known lig- uor men and seems to be the first and only Prohibition candidate to win these men to his standard. The liquor men of the district supported Jones against Tobias two years ago and Clearfield county Prohibitionists at- tribute Mr. Jones’ They refuse to support him, even though he was foisted upon their ticket by a well known McKean coun- | ty politician, but will support James D. Connelly instead. influenced to Mr. Jones by the mere | fact of his having been taken care of by some of his political prohibition friends throughout the district. Elwood Hall Killed by Contact with High Voltage Wires. Elwood S. Hall, flagman on_ the shifting crew in the Bellefonte yards of the Pennsylvania railroad, died at! the Bellefonte hospital last Thursday evening as the result of a fractured skull sustained in a fall from an ap- ple tree. Mr. Hall lived in Milesburg and when he completed his work on | Thursday he went home and a little | later went to pick apples in the orch- | ard of his brother, Roy Hall. He was well up in the top of the tree and while at work his hand and arm acci- dentally came in contact with a high voltage wire of the State-Centre Elec- tric company which ran through the tree top. The shock was so great that | Mr. Hall was thrown from the tree, falling on his head on a stone fence. He was picked up unconscious and rushed to the Bellefonte hospital where it was found his skull was frac- tured and he died at seven o'clock the same evening without regaining con- sciousness. Elwood Squires Hall was a son of John W. and the late Jennie Hall and was born in Milesburg about thirty- five years ago. His boyhood life was spent at that place and when he grew to manhood he followed in the foot- steps of his father and went to work for the Pennsylvania railroad and for | a number of years had worked as a flagman, being stationed in Tyrone five years prior to being transferred to Bellefonte. He was a member of the First Methodist church of Tyrone, the Brotherhood of Railway Train- men, the Railroad Relief association and several other fraternal organiza- tions. Ten years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Elsie Hobby, of Os- ceola Mills, who survives leaves his father, living in Milesburg, and the following brothers and sis- ‘ters: Frank Hall, of Tyrone; Clay, of Osceola Mills; Roy and Malcolm, of Tyrone; Philip, of Milesburg; Misses Bessie and Mary Hall, at home, and Mrs. Guy A. Kline, of Bellefonte. Funeral services were held at his late home in Milesburg at 2:30 o’clock on Sunday afternoon. Rev.

He also | WETZEL.—Oscar Wetzel, whose illness as the result of a stroke of paralysis was announced in Sunday night. Wednesday afternoon on his way to work and Thursday seemed enough improved to warrant the hope that his recovery would speedily follow, but a second stroke Thursday night left him in an unconscious condition and thus he lingered until the end. He was a son of John and Susan Musser Wetzel and was born in Belle- fonte on March 6th, 1859, hence was in his sixty-second year. He was ed- ucated in the public schools of Belle- fonte and later took a course in East- man’s business college at Poughkeep- sie, N. Y. In the latter seventies he made a trip to California but after spending a short time there started east, stopping for a short time in Col- orado and Nebraska. Returning home he went to work for P. B. Cri- der & Son as a clerk in a store con- ducted in connection with one of their lumbering operations in the Alleghe- ny mountains and in that capacity proved so efficient and trustworthy that he was promoted to book-keeper i in the Crider office in Bellefonte, a po- In fact so much of the business of this firm had been handled by him in re- cent years that he probably had a more intimate knowledge of all its de- tails than even Mr. Crider, himself. Scrupulously honest and exact in all | his business dealings, he at all times | had the confidence and respect of everybody with whom he came in con- tact. He was a life-long member of the Reformed church and a most faithful attendant at all church meet- {ings and services. He was united in marriage to Miss Emma Beck who survives with two children, Ethel, at home, and Merrill, a student at State College. He also { leaves the folloying brothers and sis- ter: Rev. Frank Wetzel, of Akron, Ohio; Mrs. Jared Harper, of Belle- fonte; Clyde, on the old homestead farm in Spring township; Charles E., living near Bellefonte; Lewis C., of Windsor, Can., and William, of Su- perior, Neb. Funeral services were held at his late home at 2:30 o’clock on Wednes- day afternoon by his pastor, Dr. A. M. Schmidt, after which burial was made in the Union cemetery. il I MARSHALL.—William Marshall, a native of Bellefonte, died very sud- denly of heart failure at his home in Buffalo, N. Y., last Saturday morning. During the siege of influenza two | years ago he went through a serious | attack with the result that his heart | became affected. Saturday morning he complained about not feeling very well when he got up and after eating breakfast started for the bathroom and dropped dead in the doorway.

It was probably the change in climat- ic conditions which caused the illness of the little girl, and which proved fatal in so short a time, and both the father and mother are almost heart- broken over their loss. Funeral serv- ices were held in the Catholic church at ten o’clock on Tuesday morning by Rev. Father Downes, after which bur- ial was made in the Catholic cemetery. | i] DONALDSON.—Dr. J.

In addi- tion to his wife and daughter, Mrs. Fleming, he is survived by one other daughter, Mrs. Charles Miller, of But- | ler.

He lived alone in a little house back of the Tillie Woods property. From all appear- ances he had gone home, entered the house and put the coffee pot on the stove in preparation for his supper. Then he had evidently started to go out of the house and fell dead in the doorway.
