summer.
— The girls of the Y. W. C. A.
club wish to thank all those who So
generously helped to make the circus
a success. The gross sum realized
was $135.00.
It was so hot on the evening of
the Fourth of July that only two coun-
cilmen showed up at the public build-
ing, consequently there was no meet-
ing of that august body.
Spring township in the vicinity
of Pleasant Gap has been hard hit by
the dashing rain storms the past two
weeks, which washed the fields and
gardens, doing considerable damage.
The success of the Bellefonte
Chautauqua is to be assured by a very
simple thing—the attendance of every
guarantor at the meeting next Mon-
day evening, at 8 o’clock, in Petrikin
hall.

Ferguson township boy, who has been |
principal of the Franklin grammar
school at Chester, Pa., for a number
of years, has been elected assistant su-
perintendent of public schools in that ,
city, a position that carries with it a
mice increase in salary.

first included Mr. and Mrs. A. Linn
McGinley, Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Cool-
idge, Mrs. Stewart Pearce, Mr. and

——At the monthly business meet-
ing of the Employees Council of the

terday, the district was represented by
S. H. Wian, district superintendent of
traffic; Miss Myrtle J. O’Brien, chief
operator, and Miss Edna Newcomer,
of Williamsport; Miss Josephine Gen-
ner, of Galeton; Miss Edna Rowe, of
Sunbury, and Miss Ruth Karstetter,
of Lock Haven.
On Sunday O. J. Harm, of Snow
Shoe, motored to Bellefonte, and as he
was driving along Allegheny street in
front of the Brockerhoff house the
right rear wheel came off of his ma-
chine and went rolling down the
street. It careened across Bishop
street, plunged through the large
plate glass window in Wion’s garage
and smashed the show case before it
halted in its wild career.
+ -——Bellefonte will be given a rare
musical treat next Monday evening,
July 18th, at 8 o’clock, when the fa-
mous Boys’ band from the Loysville

“front of the High school building
"This organization is made up of for-
ty-two boys ranging in ages from
mine to sixteen years, and is one of
ithe largest and best known juvenile
ibands in the State. They will come
to Bellefonte under the direction of
‘the Lutheran church. An offering
will be lifted, all of which will go to-
ward the support of the home with its
family of three hundred orphaned
boys and girls.
An all day porch reception was
given by Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Clemson
at their country place in Halfmoon
valley, Monday, July 4th, in compli-
ment to their eldest son, Frederick,
and his bride, whose marriage took
place in Allentown on the 18th of
June. Friends from Allentown and all
parts of Centre county were Mr. and
Mrs. Clemson’s guests, for whom the
hospitality, entertainment and elabo-
rate luncheon provided, made it the
most successful social function of the
summer, in that section of the coun-
ty. The entire Clemson family, save
Miss Sara, who is at the Columbia
school of music in Chicago, with Mr.
and Mrs. W. R. Keiser; parents of the
bride; Mr. and Mrs. Sigfreid and Miss
Hebner, all of Allentown, were mem-
bers of the House party, for which the
reception was the climax,
! JOHNSTOWN WOMAN KILLED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT.
State College Men Have Miraculous
Escape When Auto Went Down
High Embankment.
Miss Julia Schilkey, of Johnstown,
was instantly killed and Alysius Min-
zer seriously injured when the auto-
mobile in which they were passengers
sideswiped a telephone pole just west
of Milesburg at 4:30 o’clock on Sunday
morning, July 3rd. Mr. Minzer, Miss
Schilkey, John Kotroba and Miss Ma-
rie Fisher left Johnstown about two
o’clock on Sunday morning on a drive
to Elmira, N. Y. Mr. Minzer was
driving the car. Coming down Bald
Eagle valley they ran into a dense fog
and above Central city where the new
concreted state road crosses the rail-
road track they saw the red light
warning motorists that the road was
still closed, mistook it for a train and
veered to the left with the result that
they ran off the road into a deep ditch
and sideswiped the telephone pole on
the left hand side of the road.
Miss Schilkey was sitting on the
right hand side in the tonneau of the
car and was thown across the car,
striking her neck and the left side of
her head against the telephone pole,
meeting instant death. Minzer was
also thrown against the pole and sus-
tained concussion of the brain so that
he was unconscious for five hours or
longer, but finally responded to the
treatment given him at the Bellefonte
hospital, whither he was quickly tak-
en. Miss Fisher was thrown through
the top of the car and landed twenty
feet away, but was only slightly in-
jured. Kotroba was also thrown '
from the car, but his injuries were '
only superficial. Miss Schilkey’s re- !
mains were taken in charge by under-
taker F. L. Wetzler and shipped to
Johnstown the same afternoon for
burial.
STATE COLLEGE BOYS IN ACCIDENT.
On Friday, July first, the State Col-
lege borough baseball team went to
Snow Shoe to play ball and returning
home six of them, George Gilliland,
Odie Spicer, Otto Spicer, William
Dunkle, Lester Minnich and Forest
Homan, occupied one car, Gilliland be-
ing the driver. Those who saw the
car passing along the state road in
front of the Beaver and Hoy row aver
that it was going at the rate of sixty
miles an hour and the driver evidently
failed to see the curve in the road
just opposite the McCoy property on
north - Water street with the result!
that the auto crashed through the’
double railing and plunged down over
‘a fifty foot embankment into the old
canal.
i The accident happened about 9:30
o’clock and passing autoists who saw
"it expected to find some if not all of
| the young men dead, but miraculous
las it may seem, not one was even crit-
lically hurt. In fact only two were
seriously enough injured to be taken
! to the hospital, young Gilliland and
Otto Spicer, and neither of these had
‘any bones. broken. Gilliland went
home on Sunday following the acci-
dent and Spies 3 was taken home last
week.
The car, a new Kase, belonged to
Gilliland’s brother-in-law, E. S. Moore,
and it was a sorry looking machine
when finally fished out of the old ca-
nal.

Two Centre County Cases affirmed by
Supreme Court.
In a long list of decisions handed
down on July first the Supreme court
of Pennsylvania affirmed the judgment
of the lower court in two cases carried
up from Centre county, namely: Stine
vs. The Pennsylvania Railroad compa-
ny and Lewis vs. Merryman.
The first mentioned was the case of
S. B. Stine vs. the Railroad company
in which the plaintiff was given a ver-
dict by a Centre county jury for $116,-
038.23 for the destruction of his foun-
dry at Osceola Mills on the allegation
that the building was set on fire by a
spark from a passing locomotive. An
appeal was taken by the defendant
company on an alleged error in the
charge of Judge Quigley, but the Su-
preme court ruled that inasmuch as
the attorney for defendant had raised
no objection nor taken any exceptions
to the charge prior to the submission
of the case 5 the jury and the return
of their verdict the complaint of error
could not be considered and the judg-
ment of the lower court was affirmed.
The case of Lewis vs. Merryman
was an ejectment case from Taylor
township and in this the judgment of
the lower court was also affirmed.
The Newly Organized Bellefonte Lum-
ber Company.
In a recent issue we announced that
the Bellefonte Lumber company had
changed hands. Mr. Huyett, the
president, and Messrs. Smith and
Buck, who were the efficient and more
active members of the company, sold
their interests and the new stockhold-
ers have now completed an organiza-
tion by making Col. W. Fred Reynolds,
president; Edgar C. Miles, secretary
and treasurer, and John T. Harnish,
manager; the directors being Messrs.
W. Fred Reynolds, John T. Harnish,
C. H. Troup, Edgar C. Miles, and W.
F. Reynolds Jr.
The plant has been thoroughly
overhauled and the foreman, Mr. J. P.
Smith, has under him an exceptional-
ly fine crew of experienced mill men.
With ample capital and in efficient
hands the public can expect satisfac-
tory product, prompt delivery and
fair prices. The community, there-
fore, should in every way possible lend
encouragement and support to this,
one of the successful industries in this
locality. :
——Voting women of Centre county
will not get off as easy this year in
the payment of taxes as they did last.
Of course every borough and each
township has its own millage and no
two are alike, but women the county
over will be rated the same. The
general rating will be twenty-five dol-
lars and in Bellefonte this will mean
a tax of a dollar or more. But this is
not all, as each voter will be assessed
a school tax of $2.50 in addition to
their occupational tax, which will
mean almost four dollars tax for
every woman voter, whether she owns
property or not.
——Last Sunday evening W. G.
Runkle Esq., took his wife and chil-
dren for an auto ride down Nittany
valley. They were in the neighbor-
hood of Salona when a hard thunder
storm swooped down the valley and
Mr. Runkle was so occupied in steer-
ing the car that he failed to hear
another car which passed him from
the rear, and on the wrong side of the
road, until it was too close to get out
of the way and the result was the
rear wheel of the passing car tore off
the front wheel of Mr. Runkle’s car,
leaving him and his family stranded
by the roadside. Fortunately he was
not driving very fast and no one was
injured.
——1If ever there was an argument
in favor of the use of tractors ona
farm the protracted spell of hot
weather we have experienced the past
: several weeks should be the most con-
vincing, because of the fact that more
horses have died of heat prostration
in Centre county than ever before.
, One of the mated team of dapple
_grays on the penitentiary farms died
"last week and one farmer near Lemont
jlost two animals. Up in Ferguson
township three horses died of the
' heat, one in Boggs township and one
over in Centre Hall, a total of eight
that has come to the attention of the
writer. And in every case they were
valuable animals.
——The average farmer in Centre
county harvested one of the best crops
of wheat this season garnered in many
years but aside from the experimental
farms at State College the bumper
crop in the county was undoubtedly
grown on the penitentiary farms. As
an illustration, seven self-binders
were required to cut the crop and one
field of forty-two acres was so heavy
| that the binder couldn’t handle the
grain. It literally choked the machine
and two men had to follow the binder
i to keep the machine clear of the
sheaves. A portion of the field was
i cut in the old-fashioned way, by crad-
ling. And when the grain was cut
| the sheaves were literally piled up in
huge windrows, like hay.
Two breweries, the Mount Car-
mel and the Binder, of Renovo, have
been seized by: prohibition enforce-
ment officers within the past ten days
one-half of one per cent. alcoholic
content. Last week an automobile
was driven into Clearfield with 232
quarts of whiskey and parked on one
of the main streets of the town while
the driver went into a private house
to interview a customer. Thirsty indi-
viduals took advantage of the driver's
absence, drove the car into the coun-
try and stole the whiskey. Since the
last issue of the “Watchman” it is re-
ported a woman bootlegger drove right
into Bellefonte with three cases of
whiskey, which she delivered to thirs-
ty individuals, so that it looks like an
almost hopeless task to make prohi-
bition really prohibit.
——Last Saturday William Cross,
on the Cross and Meek farm south of
town, was cutting wheat with four
horses hitched in a binder and cut
right over a ring-necked pheasant
hatching on her nest. The bird was
uninjured and never moved until some
time later when Mr. Cross went to see
if she was all right when like a flash
she scuttled into the standing wheat.
He examined the nest and found elev-
en eggs in it. Going away some dis-
tance he watched to see the pheasant
return but she did not, so he left. On
Sunday he went out to the field and
found the bird on her eggs. Curious
to see how long the pheasant would
stick to the nest he walked closer and
closer until finally he got so close that
he stooped down and stroked the
bird’s back, and she was either so
tame or so faithful to her trust of
hatching that she didn’t leave the
nest.
——John Matos, son of Steve Mat-
os, of Spring township, was arrested
by state policemen on Friday on the
charge of attempting to pass worth-
less checks. The young man went to
the store of Sim the Clothier and pur-
chased a bill of goods tendering in
payment a check considerably in ex-
cess of the value of the goods on the
pretense of wanting the money for
other purposes. Inquiry at the bank
elicited the information that the check
was no good. Mr. Baum not only got
the goods back but made information
against Matos and he was placed un-
der arrest. He was given a hearing
before justice of the peace S. Kline
Woodring on Saturday morning and
in default of bail was committed to
jail for trial at the next term of court.
Matos, it is said, also attempted re-
cently to pass a similar check on N. A.
Miller in payment for an automobile
but that gentleman also inquired of
the bank and finding the check worth-
less did not give the young man the
machine.

League of Women Voters Hold Con-
vention.
. The annual convention of the
League of Women Voters for Centre
county was held at the High school
Bellefonte, last Friday,
morning and afternoon. At the morn-
ing session officers for the ensuing
year were elected as follows:
Chairman—Mrs. A. L. Kocher,
State College.
Vice Chairman—Mrs.
Shugert, Bellefonte.
Secretary—Mrs. W. R. Ham, Boals-
burg.
Treasurer—Miss Mary Gray Meek,
Bellefonte.
Directors—Mrs. Robert Mills Beach,
Bellefonte; Mrs. Frank Gardner, State
College; Miss Mary R. Greist, Union-
ville; Mrs. James Leathers, Howard;
Mrs. W. W. Kerlin, Centre Hall; Miss
Ella Wagner, Milesburg.
Mrs. John S. Walker addressed the
convention on the mother’s assistance
and Mrs. Frank Gardner on the re-
vision of the state constitution. Miss
Martha G. Thomas, of Philadelphia,
state treasurer of the organization,
told of the work of the League, Na-
John M.
tional and State. She asked the wom-
en to remember that the vital func-
tion of the machinery of government,
was the primary; that the coming |
primaries were of unusual importance
because of the election of a Congress-
man-at-Large, and still more so be- |
cause the election will decide whether |
Pennsylvania shall hold a constitution- |
al convention and shall elect delegates
to that convention. She urged that
the women should register and enroll '
in the party of their choice in order
that they may use their influence at
the primaries. Before the primaries,
which are to be held September 20th,
the women must see that good candi-
dates shall be put up in both political
parties. Miss Thomas explained that
although the League of Women Vot-
ers is non-partisan, its members can
be effective only by enrolling in the
political parties. The League stands
for legislation, which all parties
should be induced to further.
The National and State organiza-
tions have both formed legislative
committees, composed of a number of
women’s organizations, to work at
Washington and Harrisburg, endeav-
oring to write into the law some of |
the things for which the women
needed the vote. !
The Pennsylvania legislative com- |
mittee is composed of six organiza-
tions—the Federation of Women’s
Clubs, W. C. T. U., the Parent Teach-
er, the chairman of the Republican
committee, the chairman of the Demo-
cratic committee and the League of
Women voters.
{% This committee has backed the
mother’s assistance, the Finegan pro-
gram, the revision of the constitution
and other forward looking measures.
The niembers of the committee work
jointly or separately according as the
i a medsures apply to their in-
ts.
It was urged that a membership
campaign be started immediately to
convince the women of Centre county
of the necessity of supporting this or-
ganization, if in no other way, at least '
by their membership dues of $1.00.

Edward Emel Given Salty Sentence.
At a brief session of court on Wed-
nesday of last week Edward Emel, of |
Spring township, entered a plea of .
guilty to the charge of attempted se-
duction and rape and was sentenced to
not less than fourteen nor more than
fifteen years in the western peniten-
tiary.
Frederick Lutz and Theodore Herr,
arrested some time ago for stealing a
hand car on the New York Central
railroad, were required to pay the
costs and placed on parole for a per-
iod of two years.
John Kotch pleaded guilty to forg-
Ing the name of N. A. Shope, of State
College, to a check, and it being his
first offence he was sentenced to pay
the costs and put on parole for one
year. Kotch was working for Mr.
Shope at the time of the forgery and
that gentleman agreed to také him
back in his garage.
The case against John Dunston, of
State College, charged with rape, was
nolle prossed on order of the court.
Dunston not only maintained his inno-
cence of the charge but the story he
told evidently impressed the court as
being a true version of the case. When
discharged he eloquently thanked the
court.
Lancy Brown, who escaped from the
western penitentiary on July 18th,
1919, was captured last week in De-
troit, brought to Bellefonte Friday
morning and promptly sentenced by
Judge Quigley to serve out his old
sentence and an additional sentence of
eighteen months to three years, and
was taken back to Pittsburgh on Sat-
uday by Sheriff Dukeman.
