boners at State College
Last Week.
The 36th annual convention of the
Centre county W. C. T. U. was held in

lege September 22nd and 23rd, with a
good attendance. Pronounced inter-
est was manifested in all phases of
the convention. Miss Rebecca Rhoads,
county president, presided, assisted by
Miss Amanda Landis, State vice pres-
ident.
At the executive and official board
meetings, important business was dis-
cussed and new methods of proceed-
ure for the coming year adopted.
Among the plans for the year were
the securing of special workers to or-
ganize the young people’s depart-
ment; a program of moral education
to be conducted by Dr. Sina Stratton,
a noted W. C. T. U. woman, now on
Dr. Finegan’s State educational
board; the distributing of literature
throughout the medium of the Sun-
day schools; the adoption of special
programs for local meetings and con-
tinued emphasis on law-enforcement
and scientific tegpperance teaching in
the schools.

tion.

| Miss Landis’ address was prefaced
‘by a short speech from Rev. N. L.
Hummel, of State College, who em-
phasized the need for the W. C. T. U,,
and all social work to maintain a
christian aspect. First tarry at the
cross as did the women of old—then
go out to herald a new day.
On Friday afternoon, Miss Rhoads
briefly recounted the perils of her
western trip, when the special W. C.
T. U. train was held up by floods and
cloud-bursts. She told of the enthu-
siastic greetings received by the del-
egates of the national convention at
| San Francisco, of the interest display-
| ed by the press and the city at large
(the press devoting whole pages daily
to reports and pictures); the city and
churches having decorated the main
streets with arches, floating banners
and pennants with “Welcome W. C. T.
U.” inscribed thereon, and a leading
hotel having same cordial welcome
printed on its menu cards.
The daily attendance at this great
convention extended into the thous-
ands, as it was held in the same large
civic centre made famous by the
meeting of the Democratic National
convention last year. At the banquet
one thousand were seated at the ta-
bles, including the Governor of Cali-
! fornia and many others of prominence.
Just on the eve of the convention a
cablegram from England was receiv-
ed announcing the death of Rosalind,
Countess of Carlisle, the honored pres-
ident of the Worlds’ W. C. T. U., thus
making the national president, Miss
Anna Gordon, president of the world’s
organization, also, for the present.
Law enforcement was the key-note
of the national convention with em-
phasis on continued activity along all
department lines. Centre county W.
C. T. U’s president appeared on the
national program several times, con-
ducted two hour conference, one after-
noon, and was elected secretary of the
board of national superintendents.
Following Miss Rhoads’ talk the
election of officers resulted in all the
| old officers being re-elected.
| Dr. I. L. Foster gave a short and
! stirring appeal for interest inlaw en-
| forcement, for better guardianship of
{ our boys and girls, and for greater in-
| terest in elections—particularly pri-
"maries.
| Dr. John Wesley Hill, of the flying
| squadron of the federal enforcement
putes , proved himself to be a bril-
iant and forceful speaker. Of a‘com-
bative temperament, his is the spirit
| that enjoys the battle. He represent-
{ed Uncle Sam—one time senior part-
‘ner with Tim Murphy—is now in

ernment is centralized in a Kaiser or

‘Clinton County Detective Sent to Jail.
At a brief session of court last Fri-
day morning Samuel Myers, county
detective of Clinton county, entered a
plea of guilty to the charge of operat-
ing an automobile while under the in-
fluence of liquor and was sentenced by
Judge Quigley to pay a fine of one
hundred dollars, costs of prosecution
and undergo imprisonment in the Cen-
tre county jail for a period of six
months. Readers of the “Watchman”
will recall the fact that on Apiil 4th
detective Myers, while on a trip up
Nittany valley drove his car into the
réar end of Mrs. George F. Harris’ car,
on the state road in the vicinity of
Hublersburg. Mr. Myers was decid-
edly under the influence of liquor at
the time and it was only ¥% good luck
that the occupants of the Harris car
escaped serious injury. Immediately
after Judge Quigley imposed sentence
Mr. Myers was taken to jail. His sen-
tence will also mean the revocation of
ghis driver's license for a period of one
year.
John E. Mattis plead guilty of at-
tempting to pass a forged check anc
was released on parole upon the pay-
ment of the costs.
William Austin, of Philipsburg,
plead guilty to feloniously pointing
and firing firearms on the streets of
Philipsburg and was fined $200 and
costs and sent to the county jail for
a period of six months.
Several minor offenders got off with
suspended sentences upon the pay-
ment of the costs.
The Spruk company are now
