An Open Letter to Judge Quigley.
Presented for publication by Miss Rebec-
ca N. Rhoads, president of the Centre
county W.C. T. U.
“On Monday of last week Judge
Henry C. Quigley granted the appli-
cation for license to August Glinz,
proprietor of the Garman House and
the hope of a ‘dry’ Bellefonte goes
glimmering.”
The above item of news appeared in
in an obscure corner of a Bellefonte
newspaper last week. Probably but
few even saw it. Some of those who
did, however, are determined not to
allow this “item” to remain in obscu-
rity, but to bring it out in the full
light of day and give to it the public-
ity it should have before an indignant
public.
Over three thousand signatures of
respectable, patriotic, law-abiding
citizens were presented in a petition
to Judge Quigley in court at the time
appointed by the judge to hear same
on March 2, 1921, protesting against
the granting of this license. At that
court Judge Quigley publicly gave the
impression that should this applicant,
August Glinz, and one other, Henry
Kline, be found guilty of the crimes
against the U. S. government in the
violation of the Volstead Act and the !
18th amendment, for which they both |
were then being held under bail, that
he, Judge Quigley, would not grant,
them licenses.
I
The aforesaid August Glinz, having ,
been tried, found guilty and sentenced
to pay $200.00 fine by the
15th, 1921, we the undersigned, repre-
senting the previously mentioned
over three thousand remonstrance pe-
titioners thus publicly ask, and de-
mand, as our right of a servant of the
people, as is the judge of every coun-
ty, an explanation of his, Judge Quig- :
ley’s action. We also ask how can this
judge, or any judge, grant any appli-
cation for a license to one who had,
within three weeks prior to the grant-
ing of said license, been convicted and
sentenced for a crime against the Vol-
stead Act and Federal laws without
himself thus openly defying the Con-
stitution of the United States.
Signed: INDIGNANT PROTESTERS,

W. C. T. U. Notes.
At the meeting of the Bellefonte W.
C. T. U. last Monday evening in Pet-
rikin hall, the women were so fortu-
nate as to have with them Dr. Homer
W. Tope, of Philadelphia, superintend-
ent of the Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon
League, who unexpectedly passed
through Bellefonte that day. Had his
coming been known in time a large
meeting could have been arranged for
him as his message is a great one and
should be heard by all.
He completely refuted, by latest
statistics, about ready for publication,
the liquor propaganda being publish-
ed from time to time in one or two of
the leading Metropolitan dailies. He
renewed the courage and strengthened
the armor of all those present for the
battles still before them in their not-
yet-quite-finished, self-appointed, God-
appointed task of helping to maintain '
the sanctity of the Constitution of the
United States. At this meeting the
decision was taken that “each one win
one” thus bringing new members into
this great organization, which
growing
country, in spite of (or may it be,
partly, because of) the fact that the
liquor traffic—outlaw though it is—is
determinedly attacking the W. C. T.
U. from all angles. It was also decid- |
ed that the regular business meetings
be held on the first Monday evening of
every month, in the W. C. T. U. room,
Petrikin hall at 7:30 o’clock, and that
on the third Wednesday afternoon of
every month a “thimble bee” shall be
held. These thimble bees during the
spring, summer and early fall months
may often resolve themselves into
porch-party thimble bees, and will un-
doubtedly prove very popular. To
these, as at other meetings, non-mem-
bers are just as welcome as the mem-
bers themselves. Every one who is
interested in making comfort bags for
the soldiers of the lonely, dreary Mex-
ican border army posts, sunshine bags
and bright colored knitted afghans for
the wounded and disabled war heroes,
besides for our own hospital (where a
room has been maintained for many
vears by the Bellefonte W. C. T. U.)
is cordially invited to come and bring
their sewing bags and some one else
with them. Light refreshments will
be served and a silver offering taken
to increase the Bellefonte Union’s
treasury, which has become greatly
depleted by law enforcement expenses
and contributions to the various re-
liefs.
Voluntary contributions of money at
any time will be most sincerely appre-
ciated. Please send the same to Mrs.
L. H. Gettig, treasurer. The first
thimble bee will be held next Wednes-
day, the 20th, at 2:30 p. m., at the
home of Mrs: Weston and Miss
Rhoads, Mountain View Cottage,
west Linn street. : *

Report of the Needle-work Guild
for 1920.
Withuot blare of trumpets the
Bellefonte branch of the Needle-work
Guild of America has gone on quietly
vet efficiently with the welfare work
it began years ago. During 1920 the
Guild collected 546 garments which
were distributed as follows: 105 to
the Bellefonte hospital; 54 for the
community nurse service; 5 to the
Children’s Aid society; 242 to private
charity cases investigated by the
Guild. 140 are held in reserve.
The officers for 1920-22 are presi-
dent, Mrs. H. C. Valentine; vice pres-
idents, Mrs. R. S. Brouse, Miss Mary
Hoy; treasurer, Mrs. W. F. Reynolds;
secretary, Mrs. John M. Shugert. Di-
rectors, Mrs. R. S. Brouse, Mrs. John
Curtin, Mrs. Edwin F. Garman, Miss
Mary Hoy, Miss Daise Keichline, Mrs.
John N. Lane, Mrs. J. L. Montgom-
ery, Mrs. W. F. Reynolds, Mrs. E. O.
Struble, Mrs. John M. Shugert, Mrs.
H. C. Valentine.
The work of the Guild is entirely
local. This year, however, the Belle-
fonte branch has contributed $35 for
the support of a child in St. Quentin,
France, the town adopted during the
war by the national organization.
The annual meeting of the Needle-
work Guild of America will be held in
Philadelphia on May 5th and 6th next.
“Way Down East” Next Week.
Not the least important feature of
the presentation of D. W. Griffith’s
master photo drama “Way Down
East,” at the Garman opera house,
Bellefonte, Monday and Tuesday,
April 18th and 19th, is the orchestral
accompaniment. A good sized sym-
phony orchestra travels with the var-
ious presentation organizations and
each member has been thoroughly
trained in his work by taking part in
the huge orchestra that is used in con-
nection with the showing at the For-
ty-fourth Street theatre in New York
city. Before a musician is engaged to
go on tour with “Way Down East” he
must have been a member of the New
York organization for at least a per-
iod of two weeks. The incidental mu-
sic offered throughout the filming of
the scenes is the joint work of Louis
Silvers and William F. Peters. Al-
though in the main interpolations of
familiar tunes, much of the work is
original, particularly in emphasizing
tense scenes and the construction re-
flects no little credit upon the com-
posers.
State Forestry Maps.
The Pennsylvania Department of
Forestry has compiled and had print-
ed maps of the Logan state forest in
Centre, Huntingdon and Mifflin coun-
ties, and the Penn state forest in Cen-
tre and Mifflin counties, which show in
detail all the boundaries, mountains,
streams, roads, . trails, fire lines,
fire observation towers, railroads,
leased camp sites, towns and vil-
lages, state highways, ete., which will
be of especial benefit to sportsmen,
campers, etc. These maps can be ob-
tained free by application to the De-
partment of Forestry.
High Schools Track and Field Meet.
The executive committee of the
Centre county Interscholastic Athlet-
ic Association held a meeting on Sat-
urday for the purpose of formulating
and organizing the track and field
meet to be held in Bellefonte April
30th, 1921. All the High schools of
Centre county will be represented. by
a team of athletes who will compete
for athletic honors in various track
and field events. This will also be a
general picnic day for students, par-
ents and friends of the schools.
Detour to Snow Shoe.
The State Highway announces that
the road is closed to traffic between
Gum Stump and Rhoads’ Station.
This road will be closed for approxi-
, mately six weeks, and travel will have
to detour from Milesburg via Yarnell
to Gum Stump during that time. After
that time travel can use the same de-
tour in effect last year, or from Wetz-
ler’s store at Milesburg over a town-
ship road to Gum Stump.
| ——Centre county will be repre-'
sented before the Supreme court in
Philadelphia next week by one im-
portant case at least, that of The
Pennsylvania Railroad company vs.'
S. B. Stine, being an appeal from the
verdict of the lower court in which '
Mr. Stine was awarded a verdict of
one hundred and sixteen thousand odd
dollars for the destruction of his foun-
dry plant at Osceola Mills by fire on
October 18th, 1917, said fire alleged to
have been occasioned by sparks from
a passing locomotive on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. The railroad compa-'
ny will be represented before the Su-
preme court by John Blanchard Esgq.,
of Bellefonte, while Mr. Stine’s inter- !
ests will be looked after by M. Ward
Fleming, of Philipsburg, and Reed,
Boulton & Forsyth, of Clearfield.
——Rev. Alexander Scott, pastor of
the Bellefonte Methodist church, was
at Woolrich on Monday assisting Dr.
E. H. Yocum at the funeral services
of Miss Anna Jeannette McCloskey, a
daughter of N. H. McCloskey, who
died last Friday evening. Lloyd Mec-
Closkey, of Snow Shoe, is a brother of
the deceased. The remains were tak-
en to Sinnemahoning for burial.
——George Howard, the young man
who last summer wrecked W. C.
Rowe’s car and was under suspended
sentence pending the payment there-
fore, was arrested on Tuesday and
sent to jail because he has failed in
his payments for several months past.
Court Doles Out Sentences.
At a brief session of court last Fri-
day morning Edward Lutz, of Snow
Shoe, plead guilty to assault and bat-
tery charges preferred by his wife and
was sentenced to pay a fine of one
dollar, costs of prosecution and un-
dergo imprisonment in the county jail
for a period of six months; provided,
however, that if he earnestly decides
to live with his wife amicably and
support her and their two children,
the court will then release him from .
jail. i
When called for sentence Lutz stat- |
ed that he married when seventeen
vears old and his wife but sixteen.
That they were both jealous of each |
other and lived at various places,
finally landing in Detroit, Mich., last |
year, where he worked until last fall !
when the plant at which he was em- |
ployed shut down. He then decided |
to return to his old home in Lock Ha- ,
ves, but before leaving Detroit was
robbed of four hundred dollars. !
Shortly after their arrival in Lock Ha- |
ven he was taken sick and spent con-
siderable time in the Lock Haven hos-
pital. Some weeks ago they moved to
Snow Shoe and for several weeks he
was confined to bed with muscular
rheumatism. During that time, he
claimed, his wife entertained another
man down stairs while he was fast in
bed upstairs, and the man was a Hun-
garian, he averred. Mrs. Lutz did not
deny the charge, but stated that her
husband ran after other girls when
they lived in Lock Haven. Neither
one seemed overly anxious to live in
harmony with the other.
W. L. Jacobs plead guilty to prac-
ticing medicine without a license and
was given a fine of five hundred dol-
lars, costs of prosecution and six
months in jail. The court, however,
qualified the sentence by giving Mr.
Jacobs five years in which to pay the |
fine and withholding the jail sentence
for a period of five years, and if no
further complaint is made against
the defendant within that period the
jail sentence will be remitted. Mr.
Jacobs promptly paid the costs and ,
four-fifths of the fine, and the court |
told him that he would have five years |
in which to pay the other fifth.
|
High School Athletics. i
The Bellefonte High school spring
athletic program has been formulated |
with the idea of engaging a large |
number of pupils in healthful exercise |
without a great expenditure of money. |
To this end, class base ball teams have |
been organized and are now playing |
through a schedule of games. Two
games are played weekly. Three have '
been played to date in which the Sen-
iors were victorious over the Sopho- |
mores, and the Sophomores and Jun-'
iors each scored a triumph over the
Freshmen. Following the close of the
class schedule, a Varsity team will be
chosen and several games played.
In addition to baseball, track work
has been initiated ‘with a considerable
following. On April 30th, a county
High school track meet will be held in
Bellefonte in which the local boys will
make a strong effort to carry off the
honors. In addition a class track meet
will be held some time in May, and
some of the best material will be de-
veloped for the interscholastics at
State College.

Washington, D. C., Bellefonte, St.
Louis and Omaha. The Washington

——The appropriation for The
Pennsylvania State College as report-
ed out of committee last week and
passed by the Senate amounts to
$3,074,000. While this is just about
half the amount asked and which
would be required to put the College
on a basis where it would be able to
accommodate all the young men and
women who are clamoring for admis-
sion every year, it is nevertheless the
largest appropriation ever given the
College, and if it goes through with-
out any additional cuts, will help out
some in the plans formulated for
increased facilities at that institution.
——James E. Solt, the well known
cobbler who left Bellefonte a month
ago and went to Williamsport, is al-
eady feeling very much at home in the
Lumber city, according to word receiv-
ed from that place. His son Grover
. conducts a barber shop in that city
and Mr. Solt has established his shoe
repair bench in one end of the room.
. In addition they have a cigar stand in
the shop, so that with barbering, cob-
bling and cigar trade they are not only
kept quite busy but doing very well
financially. !

“Twin Beds,” Salisbury Field and
Margaret Mayo’s festival of laughter,
renowned from one end of the coun-
try to the other as one of the emphat-
ic standing comedy hits, will be pre-
sented at the Garman opera house for
one night, Thursday, April 21st. It
is a jovial, rollicking farce, clean as a
high wind, swift moving in its action,
brilliantly slangy and vivid in its di-
alogue and adroit and sure in its char-
acterization.
The story is built around the diffi-
culties of three couples living in a
fashionable apartment house, with all
the neighbors desirable and undesir-
able, always under foot, first achieve
neighborliness and then have it thrust
upon them and finally move to escape
'it, without any remarkable success.
Don’t fail to see it.
C. M. Smith, merchant at Cen-
tre Hall, has purchased from E. F.
Ripka the building in that town occu-
pied by the furniture store and un-
dertaking establishment of Frank V.
Goodhart. It is his intention to erect
a large, two story brick building
thereon, expecting to move his store
into the first floor room with lodge
rooms on the second fioor.
