U. S. Senator Knox Dies Suddenly at
Washington Home. |
Washington, Oct. 12.—Philander |
Chase Knox, Senator from Pennsyl-
yania and Secretary of State under
President Taft, died suddenly at 6:40
o’clock this evening at his home here.
He was stricken with paralysis after
descending the stairway on his way
to the dining room for dinner and
passed away fifteen minutes later
without regaining consciousness.
Mrs. Knox and the Senator’s secre-
tary, W. F. Martin, were near the
Senator and hurried to his aid. Dr.
Samuel Adams was summoned imme-
diately, but he found Mr. Knox be-
yond medical aid.
Senator Knox returned to Wash-
ington only last Monday night from
a trip to Europe with Mrs. Knox and
he attended the sessions of the Sen-
ate yesterday and today. Leaving
the chamber about 5 o’clock this aft-
ernoon, the Senator took an automo-
bile ride through Patomic Park and
stopped on his way home to purchase
tickets for a theatre performance to-
night. Reaching home, the Senator
went to his library where he remain-
ed until summoned to dinner.
Arrangements for the funeral will
be made tomorrow after the arrival
in Washington of Senator Knox's
sons, Reid Knox, of Valley Forge, Pa.,
and Hugh S. Knox, of Strafford, Pa.,
and daughter, Mrs. James R. Tindall,
‘of Valley Forge. A third son, Phil-
ander Chase Knox Jr., resides in
Washington.
The Senate will meet tomorrow and
adjourn out of respect to the late Sen-
ator, and with the House will name a
committee to attend the funeral. Sen-
ator Knox's home was in Pittsburgh,
and he also had a summer home at
Valley Forge. The place of interment
has not yet been announced.
While at the Senate chamber today,
Senator Knox apparently was in the
best of health, although he had been
somewhat overtaxed lately in connec-
tion with restoring the technical state
of peace with Germany, Austria and
Hungary. He was the author of the
peace resolution bearing his name,
and one of the Senate eonferees in ad-
justing it with the Porter resolution.
Mr. Knox was born at Brownsville,
Pa., on May 6, 1853, and was named
after a noted Episcopal bishop, Phil-
ander Chase. He was graduated from
Mount Union College, Alliance, O., in!
1872, admitted to the bar in 1875, ap-
ant United States attorney for
western district of Pennsylvania, but
resigned in 1877 and formed a law i
partnership with James H. Reed, un-
der the name of Knox & Reed, in
which he is said to have enjoyed a
very lucrative practice. Many stories
are told to illustrate his skill as a
lawyer, which he afterward placed at
the service of the United States in his
capacity of Attorney General.
His home is at Pittsburgh and he
has a farm at Valley Forge, Pa.
He has been a trustee of Mount
Union College. and a member of nu-
merous clubs in Pittsburgh and New
York. In 1876 he married Lillie, a
daughter of Andrew D. Smith, of
Pittsburgh, by whom he had one
daughter, Eleanor, wife of J. R. Tin-
dall, and three sons, Reid Knox, Hugh
S. Knox and Philander C. Knox Jr.

Philadelphia, to have been the nomi-
nee. He received 4,317 votes under
correct spelling of his name and 1,535
under incorrect spelling; while Jus-
tice William I Schaffer received 2,-

Child Killed by Automobile.
Jack Trumble, two year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. George Trumble, of
Chester Hill, near Philipsburg, was
run down by an automobile driven by
Daniel Dennison, of the automobile
firm of Runk and Dennison, last
Thursday morning, and injured so
badly that he died twenty minutes
later. The child attempted to run
across the road in front of two auto-
mobiles. The driver of the one ma-
chine saw the boy and stopped but
Dennison, who was in the rear, did
not see the child and driving around
the car in front of him ran the boy
down. Two other children were
struck by automobiles in Philipsburg
the latter part of the week, but their
injuries did not result fatally.

HUSS.—Calvin N. B. Huss, a na-
tive of Pennsvalley, Centre county,
died at the hospital in Ilion, N. Y.,
last Wednesday afternoon as the re-
sult of injuries sustained in a railroad
accident the Sunday previous. Mr.
Huss had accompanied his wife to a
medical institution at Stillwater, N.
Y., and was on his trip home when
the train on which he was riding was
wrecked. He did not consider himself
seriously injured and continued his
journey home. On Monday, however,
he was taken seriously ill and was
taken to the Ilion hospital for an op-
eration. The operation, it is claimed,
disclosed a ruptured condition of the
stomach, and Mr. Huss’ death result-
ed on Wednesday.
He was a son of George and Ellen
Huss and was born at Linden Hall,
this county, on August 19th, 1876,
making his age 45 years, 1 month and
16 days. As a boy he attended the
public schools at Linden Hall and as
he grew to manhood his father, who
was regarded one of the best shoe-
makers in Centre county, endeavored
to have his son learn the trade, but
his inclination was not in that direc-
tion. He had a passion for music,
and especially band music, and the
result was when he grew to manhood
he left home and it was only a few
years until he was not only playing
an instrument in minstrel bands but
taking a leading part in the perform-
ance. For eighteen years he traveled
over the country as a member of such
well known minstrel aggregations as
Hi Henry, the Guy Bros., and others,
playing in the band and frequently
taking the part of interlocutor. He
finally dropped out of the profession
and located at Ilion, N. Y. But he
never lost his love of music as he was
at the time of his unfortunate death
a member of the Doring Military
band, of Troy, N. Y., and the Rem-
ington Typewriter company band.
When troops were sent to the Mexi-
can border in 1916 he volunteered for
service as a musician and spent eight
months on the border. He was a
member of the Loyal Order of the
Moose.
Thirteen years ago he married Miss
Eva Wyland, a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Isaac Wyland, of Bellefonte, who
survives with no children. The re-
mains were brought to Bellefonte last
Saturday afternoon and taken direct
to the Union cemetery for burial, Rev.
M. DePue Maynard officiating.

old. On June

viving her are five children, namely:

Centre County to Have Farm Egg
Laying Contest.
Beginning November 1st the Cen-
tre county Farm Bureau will conduct
a farm egg laying contest. Any far-
mer or poultryman having a flock of
over twenty-five hens can enter this
contest. A record of the income, ex-
penses and daily egg gain will be
kept in a book supplied by the Poul-
try Extension department, of State
College, and at the end of each month
sent to the Farm Bureau office. They
will then be summarized and the ten
highest producing flocks will be pub-
lished in the local papers.
A summary of these records will
then be sent to the Poultry Extension
Department and will compete with
forty other counties which are con-
ducting similar contests. A monthly
summary of all flocks of the State
and timely suggestions will be sent
to each farmer entering the contest.
One of the most common questions
discussed by poultry keepers is
“Which is the best producing breed.”
This contest is being conducted to
help answer the question, and will
also bring out many other interesting
facts about poultry keeping in Centre
county.
Any one interested in entering this
egg laying contest should get in
touch with county agent J. N. Robin-
son before November 1st.

Drilling for Water on Hughes Field.
Well driller Elliott, of Williams-

from State College to Bellefonte on
Tuesday and set it up on Hughes field
for the purpose of putting down an
artesian well in the hope of striking
an ample supply of water to supply
the big swimming pool. Mr. Elliott
has just completed a well put down
on the Thompson farm at State Col-
lege and found an ample supply of
water at an approximate depth of 150
feet. The hole to be put down on
Hughes field will be six inches in di-
ameter to start with and will contin-
ue that size if water is struck within
a reasonable depth. A good flowing
well alongside of the swimming pool
will enable Mr. Hughes to change the
water in the pool just as frequently
as it is considered necessary, and at
much less expense than can be done
from the borough mains.

know him say that he has few equals
as a platform speaker. His latest,
and by many considered his best lec-
ture, “Do it Now,” will thrill all who
hear him next Monday evening. No
admission will be charged but an of-
fering will be taken. A large audi-
ence is expected.
Church School Service League.
On Wednesday and Thursday of
last week a very successful confer-
ence was held at St. John’s parish
house on the subject of the Church
School Service League. There were
fifty-two delegates in attendance,
‘ representing fifteen parishes of the
Diocese of Harrisburg. Miss Frances
tH. Withers, who is chairman of the
commission which is developing the
League throughout the Episcopal
: church, was present and conducted
the meetings.
| The Service League is not an or-
ganization, but a movement to foster
. week-day activities among the pupils
. of the Sunday schools, so that during
the week the children may have op-
portunities of carrying out in service
{ what they have learned on Sunday.
There are five fields of service in
which the children are to work—par-
ish and home, community, diocese,
nation and world.
The idea of the League and its ac-
tive formation is spreading rapidly,
and from the interest evidenced last
week the Harrisburg diocese will not
lag behind. Among other interesting
features of the conference were the
sermon delivered by the Rev. E. M.
Frear, of State College, after even-
song Wednesday evening, and the re-
ception following in the parish house.
Among those present well known to
Bellefonters were the following:
Archdeacon Eastment, Miss Mary
Hirlinger, Mrs. J. E. Fryberger, Mrs.
F. K. White, all of Philipsburg; Rev.
and Mrs. F. TY Cady, Mr. and Mrs. F.
K Lukenbach, of Tyrone; Miss Anna
Watts, diocesan chairman of the
League, of Mechanicsburg, and Miss
; Winifred Maynard, of Williamsport.
Inauguration of Dr. Thomas, Presi-
dent of State College.
Dr. John W. Thomas will be for-
mally inaugurated as president of
The Pennsylvania State College at
{10:30 o'clock this morning in the au-
' ditorium at the College. College of-
ficials took advantage of the inaugu-
ration to make it a big time general-
‘ly and college presidents and educa-
"tors from all over the country are in
evidence at the College. The general
conference began yesterday morning
and continued throughout the day,
many prominent men speaking on
various subjects. Hundreds of people
are in attendance and will remain to
| the end of the week.
Tomorrow will be home-coming day
for old students and hundreds are ex-
‘pected. The forenoon will be given
over entirely to the men who won
| their diplomas at Penn State. The
‘ afternoon feature will be the Lehigh-
‘Penn State football game. While
| State has won all her games so far
she will be up against a stronger
proposition tomorrow and the result
| will be watched for with considerable
i interest.
