dollars for having in his possession
two dogs.
BANKRUPTCY RECOMMENDED
As Only Solution of the Centre Coun-
ty Bank Difficulties.
A second meeting of the depositors
of the Centre County Bank was held
in the court house on Tuesday even-
ing to hear the report of the commit-
tee of eleven appointed two weeks ago
to consider the best means of action to
be taken by the depositors.
Col. W. Fred Reynolds, chairman of
the committee, reported that after
going into the matter as deeply as
possible, and considering every sug-
gested solution, the most satisfactory
conclusion arrived at by the commit-
tee was bankruptcy proceedings. That
Mr. John M. Shugert, president of the
bank, had sent word to the committee
that he was willing to take any action
they deemed best.
Several depositors present objected
to bankruptcy proceedings and want-
ed definite action delayed at least two
weeks longer. The main objections to
bankruptcy proceedings was the cost
and the delay such action will neces-
sarily entail. N. B. Spangler, attor-
ney for the committee, explained that
so far as the expense is concerned the
fees are fixed by law and the federal
courts, and are not considered excess-
ive. So far as the delay entailed in
such proceedings is concerned the
committee failed to find any way in
which the depositors could secure sat-
isfaction in less time. No way could
be determined upon whereby the Cen-
tre County bank could be reorganized.
To do this would require a fund of at
least $100,000, and that amount can
not be raised at once, even from the
partners in the defunct bank.
Robert F. Hunter, who presided at
the meeting, stated that some of the
depositors were already beginning to
chafe under the delay, notwithstand-
ing the fact that every one had shown
remarkable self restraint and fore-
bearance in the matter. Some few,
however, felt that action should not
be delayed any longer, especially as
the committee failed to find any sat-
isfactory solution outside of bank-
ruptey. ’
The committee, having made its re-
port, asked to be discharged, but a
motion was made to retain it in force
to look after the interests of the de-
positors and the motion carried. The
result of the committee’s report will
likely result in voluntary bankruptcy
proceedings.
Fire Destroys Five Buildings at Port
Matilda.
The village of Port Matilda had a
bad fire scare on Tuesday afternoon
and for a while it looked as if the en-
tire town was in danger but through
the aid of the Neptune fire company,
of Tyrone, and the Reliance company,
of Philipsburg, the fire was confined
to five buildings.
The fire started in the garage of
Samuel Osman. The latter was doing
some work that required the use of a
blow torch and getting too close to a
gasoline tank the latter caught fire
and exploded. The flames spread
quickly and it was only a matter of a
few minutes until the entire garage
was in flames. The fire spread to the
Osman home, then to the Edgar Wil-
liams garage and the William Hoover
barn and cement house, all of which
were totally destroyed.
Port Matilda is without a fire com-
pany and the only means at hand to
fight the flames was garden hose.
These were used with such good effect
that several buildings were saved.
Tyrone, Philipsburg and Bellefonte
were appealed to for help, the first
two responding with triple pumpers.
The Tyrone company was on the scene
in thirty-one minutes, but not in time
to save any of the above buildings,
though they did prevent the fire from
spreading any further.
In the Osman garage were seven
cars and an auto hearse, all of which
were burned. He carried no insurance
on his garage or equipment, but had
insurance on his house and furniture.
Mr. Williams’ loss is also complete
while Mr. Hoover carried insurance on
his buildings.
When the explosion of the gasoline
occurred Mr. Osman was badly burn-
ed and was taken across the mountain
to the Cottage State hospital, at Phil-
ipsburg. Later word from there was
that his condition is not as serious as
at first believed.

Clinic for Crippled Children.
A clinic for crippled children, un-
der the auspices of the Red Cross, will
be held at the Glenn sanitorium at
State College Saturday, June 24th,
from 11 to 12 o’clock a. m., and from
1:30 p. m. until the work is complet-
ed. Dr. J. T. Rugh, the celebrated
specialist of Philadelphia, will be in
charge. Centre county physicians will
find the clinic of interest and are in-
vited to take any cases on which they
would like to consult Dr. Rugh. The
Red Cross is deeply indebted to the
Philadelphia physician for his gener-
osity in giving his services, thus offer-
ing an opportunity of consulting a
specialist without the necessity or ex-
pense of a trip to Harrisburg or Phil-
adelphia. Any person desiring furth-
er information can obtain same by
consulting Mrs. M. C. Jones, of the
State College chapter Red Cross, or
Miss Meeker, of the Bellefonte chap-
ter.
Patients wishing to be taken to Dr.
Rugh’s orthopedic clinic at State Col-
lege, Saturday, June 24th, will report
at Red Cross room at 1 p. m. Bus
leaves promptly at 1:30. Free bus
has been provided through the kind-
ness of Mr. Emerick.

——Last summer Henry K. Lewos-
ki, of Minersville, Schuylkill county,
tried his hand at making hootch. The
decoction he distilled made him crazy
drunk and on September 25th, while
in that condition, he killed his wife.
On Monday morning he was electro-
cuted at the Rockview penitentiary.
Lewoski owned property in Miners-
ville and last Friday, when it became
evident that nothing could be done to
save him, he disposed of his property
by will and bade all his friends and
relatives good-bye. He was brought
to Rockview on Saturday by sheriff
Jenkins. His body was unclaimed and
was buried in the penitentiary cem-
etery.

Office for American Lime &
Stone Company.
New
The American Lime and Stone com-
pany is preparing plans for the re-
building of the structure in which
their plant office is now located, so as
to accommodate the general offices of
the company.
The present building is a well-built
warehouse of two floors measuring 29
by 80 feet. It will be stuccoed on the
outside and plastered within. Plumb-
ing and heating will be installed.
This will give a commodious office
with 4320 square feet of floor area,
which will be ample for the needs of
the company, not only for the pres-
ent but for some time to come.
The Tyrone office will be transfer-
red to Bellefonte as soon as the im-
provements can be completed.
Eighty-eight Farmers Marketed Wool.
Eighty-eight Centre county farm-
ers marketed their wool through the
Centre county farmers Sheep - and
Wool Grower’s association at a saving
of from 7 to 15 cents per pound, de-
pending upon the local price offered
and the grade of wool produced. Co-
operative marketing on a graded ba-
sis gives the producer of good, clean
wool the value of that kind of wool,
and places a penalty on neglect, care-
lessness and winter management of
the farm flock.
The grading of wool as an incentive
to better care and management is for-
cibly indicated by the percentage of
rejections or off-grade wools from
5.2% in 1921 to 1.9% in the wool mar-
keted last week. There is still consid-
erable room for improvement, as the
percentage of rejections in the aver-
age clip of wool should be less than
one per cent.
Steve Zimmerman Held in $5,000 Bail
for Murder.
A habeas corpus hearing was held
before Judge Quigley on Tuesday
morning in the case of Steve Zimmer-
man, of Clarence, charged with the
murder of Joe Surovice about a month
ago, the complete story of which ap-
peared in the “Watchman” at that
time. Only two witnesses were put on
the stand by the Commonwealth, An-
dy Koreska, who had several ribs
fractured when Zimmerman hit him
with the same iron bar with which he
inflicted the fatal blow on Surovice,
and Mrs. Anthony Losh, an eye wit-
ness to the tragedy.
At the completion of the testimony
of the two witnesses the district at-
torney, James C. Furst, asked the
court to hold Zimmerman on the
charge of murder in the first degree,
but Judge Quigley decided that the
evidence did not warrant so grave a
charge and held the prisoner in $5,000
bail for trial on the charge of caus-
ing the death of Surovice.

Major Hastings to be Released.
A newspaper dispatch from Phila-
delphia on Monday announced that
Major William H. Hastings would be
released from the eastern penitentia-
ry in a few days after serving a little
over eight years of a ten year’s sen-
tence for shooting his nephew-in-law,
W. Ross Hickok, of Harrisburg. Ma-
jor Hastings is an elder brother of the
late Governor D. H. Hastings and be-
fore the latter became prominent in
State politics made his home with him
in Bellefonte. But it was only a spas-
modic home as Major Hastings trav-
eled extensively and spent many years
in Europe, especially France. He is
highly educated and a linguist of con-
siderable ability. A business venture
in Philadelphia turned out disastrous-
ly and while D. H. Hastings was still
Governor considerable feeling arose
between the brothers over financial
matters.
Governor Hastings died in 1903 and
ten years later Major Hastings shot
Mr. Hickok on the streets of Harris-
burg because of his grievance against
his brother’s family. He was arrest-
ed, given a quick trial and sentenced
to the eastern penitentiary for ten
years. Shortly after he was taken to
that institution he was given work in
the prison library where he has been
kept during the years of his incarcer-
ation. Through it all he never lost
hope of living to regain his freedom,
a hope that is soon to be realized.
Community Playgrounds Opened.
The official opening of the commu-
nity playgrounds took place at three
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and
notwithstanding the fact that it had
rained earlier in the day, and that the
weather continued threatening, a good
crowd of children was present. The
Odd Fellows band was on hand and
played a number of selections. Ten
swings, six for the older children and
four for the smaller tots, a sliding
board, and sliding bars were in con-
stant use. The giant stride was not
open for service. It is set in concrete
and it was deemed best to give it more
time to set and become stabilized.
The playgrounds are an innovation
for Bellefonte, but there is every rea-
son to believe that they will prove a
popular place of amusement and rec-
reation for the children. There is no
contradicting the fact that they will
be safer than the public streets of the
town. The grounds will be in charge
of capable persons at all times so that
parents need have no fear regarding
the welfare of their children.
The grounds will open each day at
ten o’clock and close at four in the
afternoon. There will be no charge
for the use of the equipment. Every-
thing is free for the children to en-
joy. Each child, however, will be ask-
ed to enroll the first time it appears
on the grounds. This is to assist the
workers in planning the exercises.
Parents can render valuable assist-
ance to the association by taking out
membership at the small cost of one
dollar. This, of course, is voluntary,
and merely shows your interest in the
work and your desire to see it increase
in size and equipment. Send your
dollar to the treasurer, Mr. Louis
Schad, or hand it to any of the work-
ers, and credit will be given.
The following contributions have
been received since last week: A. C.
Mingle and A. Fauble, $10 each; Rob-
ert F. Hunter and Miss Emily Par-
ker, $5.00 each; W. J. Emerick, $25.-
00; Mr. Garman, children’s inclined
plane; Olewine hardware store, slid-
ing board.

The Pennsylvania League of Wom-
an Voters will hold a tri-county picnic

Lycoming, Clinton and Centre. There

ters. A box luncheon at noon. All

The delegation from Centre county
will be headed by Mrs. A. L. Kocher,
of State College, and Mrs. Robert
Mills Beach, of Bellefonte; the Clin-
ton county delegation by Miss Hazel
McGuire, of Renovo, and Mrs. Rich-
ard S. Quigley, of Lock Haven, and
the Lycoming county delegation by
Mis. Stephen Van Brown and Miss
Henrietta Baldy Lyon, of Williams-
port. Republican and Democratic
nominess for the General Assembly in
each of these counties will be among
those invited to attend.
The speakers will be Mrs. Lewis
Lawrence Smith, of Strafford, vice
chairman of the Pennsylvania League;
Miss Martha G. Thomas, of Whitford,
treasurer, and nominee for the State
House of Representatives from the
Second district of Chester county, and
representatives of the Commission on
Reorganization of the State govern-
ment and the Pennsylvania tax law
revision commission, and prominent
Republican and Democratic women
speakers.

Nerve—Man and Woman.
Several years ago we were blunder-
ing along the streets of Bellefonte
with mind probably trying to figure
out whether it is Mars or Venus that
is signalling us when we ran
plumb into a lady. After an instant
of confusion incident to getting back
to earth we started an apology only to
be interrupted with a smiling, cheer-
ful voice saying: “Oh, twas my fault,
I am just hurrying to get ready for a
week-end guest.”
This happened on a Friday. On the
following Sunday, during a visit to
the hospital, the same voice laughing-
ly called from one of the private
rooms: “Come in and see the week-
end guest.” We did, and there beside
the young mother was a fine baby
boy.
Yesterday a man loafed around the
“Watchman” office for an hour or
more. He seemed to have something
on his mind he couldn’t get off. Usu-
ally he blows a lot about what he dies.
That’s part of his business because
he’s in a business that requires the
bally-hoo stuff. Yesterday he acted
like the cat had his tongue and we
didn’t know that Bill Rowe is the
father of a brand new boy until long
after he had beat it for the seclusion
of Hecla Park and an entire stranger
dropped in to say that the late Col.
Emanuel Noll’s cup of happiness
would have been full had he only been
spared to see the new grand-son who
is to be named Holland Blair.
BIRTHS.
Mr. and Mrs. Gideon Payne are re-

of the little daughter born to Mr. and
Mrs. James Craig, Sunday, at their
home on Hight street.
There are now thirty-three pa-
tients in the Bellefonte hospital, eigh-
teen surgical and fifteen medical.
