Liquor Discovered by School Boys
Carried Away by Men, Women
and Children.
If a gold mine were suddenly dis-
covered on the streets of Bellefonte
it would not create more excitement
than was created Tuesday noon when
‘two school boys found a large quanti-
ty of liquor concealed in the fire-boxes
and ash pits of the boilers at the old
i steam heating plant on Lamb street.
Men and women forgot the Volstead
act and made a rush for the cache of
whiskey carrying it away by the doz-
en bottles and by the armful. One
woman, it is said, gathered up her
skirt in order to carry away a good
load of the spiritous swag. One man
is reported to have gotten twenty-five
bottles, while the average was any-
where from four to ten bottles.
Along about four o’clock on Tues-
day morning persons living in the
| plant heard a truck drive up to the
| building and stop. In a few minutes
| they heard the tinkle of glass and nat-
lurally concluded that some mischief
! was in the air. Tuesday forenoon one |
{or two women who had heard the noise
| early in the morning went to the old
| plant but failed to find anything. They
! told their neighbors, however, of what
they had heard during the night and
I at noontime a young son of John
| Dubbs Jr., and one of Albert Schad’s
boys went to the plant to make a hunt.
They were unsuccessful until they
opened the heavy iron doors of a fire-
box when they were astonished to see
the bottles rolling out at their feet.
Each boy grabbed two bottles and ran
out on the street to tell of their find.
scene and following close on their
heels were men and women, each one
intent on getting as much of the liquor
as possible. In less time than it takes
to write it the old plant was cleaned
out. In fact when officers arrived up-
on the scene only three bottles could
be found. The whiskey was Golden
Wedding, Overholt and white label
Humbolt, and suspicion at once point-
ed to the deposit of confiscated liquors
in the postoffice cellar. An investiga-
tion disclosed the fact that the cellar
had been robbed during the night and
some twenty cases, or upwards of
three hundred bottles of whiskey stol-
en. It was identical with the booze
found at the old steam heating plant.
. The robbers had made their entrance
"through a broken window in the side
of the old wine cellar in the rear of
Beezer’s meat market. The facet that
i they broke open the cases and got |
‘away with such a large quantity of |
liguor is evidence that a number of
persons were engaged in the robbery,
and naturally suspicion points to lo-
cal people.
As soon as officers got on the scene
at the old steam heating plant they
' got busy and succeeded in getting the
names of most every one who had car- |
ried away any of the booze, with the !
‘result that they went after them and
compelled the return of the liquor, so
that most of it has been recovered.
One incident is told of three young
men who got away with a load each,
carried it some distance and hid it in
an old barn while they went back for
more. But when they got there all the
whiskey was gone. They then went
ito the old barn to divide their swag
tand were dumbfounded to discover
that secmebody else had stolen it from
them. :
Anent the robbing of the postoffice
cellar, this has not been the first time
it has happened. In fact practically
all the bottled goods has been carried
away and all that remains is the
liquor in barrels, and some of it may
i have turned to water by this time.
But water or no water postmaster
i P. H. Gherrity has shouldered the re-
: sponsibility of taking care of the stuff
las long as he intends doing, and not
only refused to take back the stolen
whiskey but notified district attorney
James C. Furst to remove the barrel
were called into service and every-
thing in the nature of strong drink
remaining in the postoffice cellar was
removed to the county jail.
After it had been dumped in sheriff
Dukeman’s stronghold it was discov-
ered that the cell doors are all too nar-
row to admit a barrel and as the sher-
iff had no other place of safety in
which to store it he threw up his
hands. Yesterday a district officer
came to town and after a conference
with district attorney Furst it was de-
cided ta take all of the booze to Sun-
bury and store it in the federal build-
ing there.
A small amount of it was purchased
by the Bellefonte hospital.
While the “Watchman” is op-
posed to the proposed convention for
the drafting of a new constitution at
this time, and urges voters generally
to vote against it at the primaries next
Tuesday, there is, of course, a possi-
bility that it may carry in the State
at large. Should such a thing occur
it is of vital importance that the Dem-
ocratic party, which is the minority
party in Pennsylvania, be represented
in the convention which will decide
the points at issue in the new consti-
tution. Each Congressional district
will be entitled to three delegates, and
each voter is entitled to vote for two.
There are three candidates on the Re-
publican ticket and only one on the
Democratic, Mr. Scollins, of Clearfield
county. Hence, vote for Mr. Scollins
and assure his nomination and elec-
tion, if the referendum vote decides
in favor of a constitutional conven-
tion.

An Interesting Case from Ierguson
Township.
A rather interesting case was heard
! before justice of the peace S. Kline
Woodring, on Tuesday morning, being
an action brought by Elias Sheemak-
rer and E. M. Watt to recover certain
! sums of money from the Ferguson
| township school district, on an implied
{ contract, for the transportation of
‘ children to the nearest High school.
| Four years ago the Ferguson town-
| ship High school at Pine Grove Mills
| was abandoned and under the school
| code any school district which is with-
out 2 High school is obligated to pay
i tuition, ete., of any students of the!
| district attending High school in
another district. At the time of clos-
ing the High school at Pine Grove
Mills the school board of the township
agreed to pay the tuition of all stu-
dents attending other High schools,
designating the State College High
school for pupils nearest that point
and the Warriorsmark High school for
pupils nearest that place.
The board paid the tuition but re-
fused to pay for the transportation of
pupils and the actions brought by Mr.
Shoemaker and Mr. Watt were to
make a test case of the school dis-
trict’s liability for such transporta-
tion. Quite a number of witnesses
were heard on both sides after which
the justice reserved his decision until
tomorrow, as the case is the first of
the kind brought in this State.
Former State College Student in
Serious Trouble.
William Walter Dudley, a former
student at The Pennsylvania State
College, is in the hands of the police
authorities of New York city awaiting
requisition papers to bring him back
to Centre county to answer to a ser-
ious charge preferred by a fourteen
year old girl of State College. When
the charge was preferred the case was
put in the hands of district attorney
James C. Furst and he finally located
Dudley in New York city. A state
policeman was sent to New York last
week to bring the young man back to
Centre county. He had little trouble
in locating him, as Dudley was holding
down a good position in the research
department of the General Electric
company.
When told that he was wanted, and
the nature of the charge, the young
man was willing to come back but the
authorities there refused to turn him
over to the state policeman without
requisition papers. The result is that
an application will have to be made to
Governor Sproul for requisition pa-
pers which will then have to be sent
to the Governor of New York for his
consideration and signature before
any further action can be taken. In
the meantime William Walter Dudley
will remain in the custody of the New
York authorities until all the legal for-
malities have been complied with. As
his offense is extraditable the Centre
county authorities have no doubt but
that they will eventually get their
man, but the action of the New York
authorities in refusing to give him up
without requisition papers adds a lot
of needless expense to the case.

Prominent Speakers at W. C. T. U.
County Convention.
‘Next week, Thursday and Friday,
September 22nd and 23rd, the Centre
county Woman’s Christian Temper-
ance Union will hold its 36th annual
convention in the Presbyterian church,
State College. The program promises
a very live meeting, featuring Miss
Amanda Landis, vice president of
Pennsylvania State W. C. T. U.; Dr.
. Thomas, president Pennsylvania State
. College, and Dr. John Wesley Hill,
LL D., of New York city.
| Miss Landis and Dr. Thomas need
no introduction to a Centre county au-
,dience. Miss Landis, a sister of state
_ superintendent Landis of the Sunday
. schools, who delighted her hearers at
. a recent county Sunday school conven-
; tion, will be present both days and
! give the main address Thursday even-
ing. Dr. Thomas, who has already
| won an enviable reputation with our
people by his excellent addresses, will
speak at 3:30 o’clock Thursday after-
i noon.
On Friday evening, at 8:15 o’clock,
Dr. John Wesley Hill, LL D., of New
‘York city, platform and Chautauqua
lecturer, will be the speaker. Rarely
do we have the opportunity of listen- !
ing to one of such unusual distinction.
We find in “Who's Who” 1920-21,
that Dr Hill, born in Ohio in 1863, is
an alumnus of two universities and the
Boston Theological Seminary, and
though a Methodist minister he has
filled many prominent pulpits of the!
country, such as Methodist Temple, |
New York city; Jaynes church, Brook-
lyn, N. Y.; Grace church, Harrisburg, |
and others, that he made his first ap-
| i Bellefonte the after part of last week, com-
' pearance campaigning with James G.
Blaine. He also took active part in
the McKinley campaign, was repre-
sentative to the Republican National
convention, 1908, and again in 1912.
He is, therefore, a civic, industrial and
patriotic speaker, as well. One sum-
, mer he supplied the Presbyterian pul-
. pit in Marlebone, London, England.
He founded the Fowler Memorial
church in Helena, Montana, filled
charges in Washington State and
Utah, was Chancellor of Lincoln Me-
morial University, Tennessee, for
i which university he in 1918-19 raised
| an endowment fund of one million dol-
lars. Was chaplain of Pennsylvania
Senate and is now Grand Chaplain of
i the Masons in New York State.
| Probably his most noted achicve-
| ments have been of more recent years
{for in 1914 he organized the World
{ Court League in the United States. In
1911 he visited the Orient and estab- |
lished the Asiatic Branch of the In-:
i ternation! Peace Forum of which he
was president for Japan and China.
| He is now a member of Federal Pro-
{ hibition Commissioner Haynes’ flying
squadron of live-wire lecturers for the
| enforcement of the 18th Amendment.
i The W. C. T. U. is to be congratu-
lated upon securing this unique and
{ interesting as well as very distin-
| guished man to speak at its conven-
| tion, and there should be a record
| breaking attendance from all over the
{ county.

{ Prisoner Had Short Spell of Liberty.
William C. Woolston, who escaped
from the western penitentiary last
i Tuesday afternoon, had a short spell
of liberty, as he was captured cn
Wednesday afternoon over in Penns-
valley, above Linden Hall. The pris-
oner was discovered and recognized by
a fourteen year old boy, who tele-
phoned the prison officials and two
guards were promptly sent over, cap-
tured him and brought him to the Cen-
tre county jail. Woolston was one of
the prisoners brought to Centre coun-
ty from the eastern penitentiary some
time ago. His home is in Philadelphia
and he had been sent up for entering
with intent to commit burglary. He
had but four more months to serve of
a four year, four months term. Now
he will have at least four years and
eight months more to serve. It was
Woolston’s first day in the fields since
his transfer, he having been sent out
to spray potatoes and took advantage
of his work in the fields to run away.
A prisoner was received at the pen-
itentiary recently aged thirty-eight
years whose sentence is not less than
38 years nor more than 80. He was
sent up for highway robbery and sen-
tenced en twenty-five separate counts,
the aggregate being "as above given.
Seven prisoners completed their sen-
tence and were discharged from the
Rockview institution on Monday, but
the number of inmates is still well up
toward six hundred.
U. B. Church Conference.
The eigthy-third annual session of

taken up with the business of the con-
ference but various features are in-
cluded in the program which will add
interest and entertainment to the
week’s doings. Naturally considera-
ble interest centres in the appoint-
ments and so far no one has been able
to guess how many changes may be
made.
