WARDEN FRANCIES RESIGNS.
Quits as Warden but will Continue
as Superintendent of Construc-
tion.
Bellefonte friends of Warden John
Francies were not only surprised but
mystified when they learned last
Thursday morning that he had resign-
ed as warden of the western peniten-
tiary, his resignation had been
promptly accepted by the prison board
and chief parole officer John M. Ea-
gan had been named as his successor.
Naturally many of the warden’s inti-
mate friends wondered if there was
any political significance attached to
his resignation, but such is not the
case.
Mr. Francies was appointed warden
over thirteen years ago and he very
soon reached the conclusion that the
old-style penitentiaries were all right
as places of punishment but they were
not the right kind of institutions in
which to reform men and women and
turn them out as better citizens. The
more he pondered the situation the
more thoroughly he became imbued
with the idea of a model institution
with the honor system as the best
means of reform. His ideas were
finally embodied in a report to the
prison board and a recommendation to
the Legislature for the purchase of
sufficient ground on which to build
such a penitentiary as he had in mind.
The Legislature accepted the recom-
mendation in good faith and passed a
law providing for the purchase of the
necessary land. Months were spent
by the prison board visiting various
sites offered in the central and west-
ern sections of the State and finally
the Rockview site was selected. In
1911 My. Francies was appointed by
Governor Tener superintendent of
construction of the new institution and
this work in connection with his ar-
duous duties as warden has made him
a very busy man.
When he took charge as warden of
the penitentiary a litle over thirteen
years ago there were less than eleven
hundred inmates. Today the average
number approximates nineteen hun-
dred. This vast increase naturally
greatly enlarged the responsibility of
the warden and for several years Mr.
Francies has been considering relin-
quishing the work. In fact his resig-
nation might have been tendered a
year ago had it not been for the up-
rising of the prisoners in the Pitts-
burgh institution last summer and
the destruction by fire of a number of
the prison buildings. The destroyed
buildings have all been rebuilt and the
physical condition of the Pittsburgh
institution is now in better shape than
it has ever been before so that Mr.
Francies in resigning as warden at
this time leaves no uncompleted re-
sponsibilities for his successor.
As superintendent of construction
and manager of the prison farms at
Rockview he will be able to devote all
his time to the perfecting of his dream
Lin the building of a penal institution
superior to that of any other State in
the union. His resignation of the po-
sition of warden will naturally mean
that Mr. Francies will be able to
spend more time in: Centre county
than he has heretofore been able
to do. It is understood on fairly
good authority, however, that he is
now negotiating for the purchase of
a farm in close proximity to the Rock-
view prison farms, which will give
him additional interest in Centre coun-
ty affairs. :
Mr. Francies’ successor, John M.
Eagan, was a member of the prison
board which selected the Rockview
site for the new penitentiary. In
1910, when the new parole system be-
came operative in this State Mr. Ea-
gan was elected chief parole officer
and has filled that position ever since.
Through the combined efforts of Mr. |
Eagan and Mr. Francies the parole de-
partment of the western penitentiary
is now regarded by experts as a mod-
el of efficiency. In 1914 Mr. Eagan
was elected clerk, assuming the man-
agement of the clerical work, book-
keeping and record keeping of the in-
stitution. He performed this work in
addition to his duties as parole officer.
During the last three years he has
also filled the position of assistant
warden.
With such a record to stand on Mr.
Eagan will enter upon the duties of
his new appointment thoroughly fa-
miliar with the work and fully equip-
ped in every detail. So far as now
known no change will be made in the
personnel of the various officers in
charge at the Rockview institution.
The Gerberich Home to be Sold.

berich, on north Thomas street, will

BO
Chautauqua Juniors Present Flag
Pole.
The Chautauqua “Jolly Juniors”
met last Monday evening to receive
the report of the committee and ar-
range for the disposal of the sum
raised from the sale of candy and lem-
onade at the Chautauqua tent. The
amount realized was $19.51, and it
was voted to present this to the Play-
ground Association for the purpose
of erecting a flag pole on the grounds
and purchasing a good flag for use
when the grounds are open. A metal
flag pole, thirty feet high has been
erected and a new wool bunting flag
will be purchased. Flag raising exer-
cises are part of the daily program
and patriotic songs are sung and the
pledge of allegiance to the flag re-
cited.
The Association appreciates the
work of the young folk in helping to
provide for the enjoyment they are
getting through the playground and
of their. contribution for this patriot-
ic American expression.
Rattlesnake Bite Proves’ Serious.
Mario J. Midolo, a young Italian of
Philadelphia who is a senior in the
civil engineering course at State Col-
lege, is in a serious condition as the
result of being bitten by a rattlesnake.
Midolo has been spending the summer
at the College in order to continue his
studies. On Sunday he took a stroll
into Shingletown gap in the Seven
mountains and while walking along an
old road his attention was attracted
by a peculiar looking berry. Without
a thought of danger he reached down
to pick the berry and was bitter ¢n
the right hand by a large rattler.
Realizing his danger he promptly
started out of the mountains but it
was three quarters of an hour before
he reached a habitation. A physician
was promptly sent for but by the time
he reached the young man the poison
had impregnated his system and his
hand and arm were badly swollen.
Every known antidote has been ad-
ministered, incisions have been made
in every finger and at several places
on the arm to drain out the poison
but Midolo’s condition continues very
serious.
The State Dental Car to be Brought
Into Centre County.
Dz. C. J. Hollister, chief of the den-
tal division of the State Department
of Health, was in Bellefonte recently
to complete arrangements for dental
clinics to be held in Centre county in
the early autumn. A year ago a re-
quest was sent him to have the state
dental car brought into the county and
it is now an assured fact. About the
middle of September, Dr. Hollister
will spend a week in Bellefonte, one
in Philipsburg, and one in State Col-
lege with the dental car and his dem-
onstrations will be followed by the
work of a dental hygienist in the
schools of each place for a period of
probably two months. :
While the dental car is part of the
equipment of the State Health De-
partment and its use, as well as Dr.
Hollister’s services, given free to the
community, the salary of the dental
hygienist must be financed locally and
this the Tuberculosis committee of the
three towns have arranged to do out
of their Christmas Seal sale funds.
A preventive educational program has
been the chief feature of the work of
the Tuberculosis society the past four
years and the demonstrations by Dr.
Hollister are expected to awaken in-
terest in parents and children in the
care of the teeth. :
Playground Children Preparing for
Closing Carnival.
The playgrounds on the High school
commons will close for the season
on Friday, September 1st. If the
weather is wet the exercises will be
held on Saturday afternoon. Over
three hundred children have been reg-
istered during the summer, and it is
expected that the most of them will
participate in the closing festivities.
Mrs. Krader and her faithful girl
assistants will devote the intervening
time to preparation for the event.
Folk dances will be taught in the
afternoons by Mrs. Krader and play
songs for the little tots. The indus-
trial work which has been so attrac-
tive to many, as both boys and girls
have learned to make fancy baskets
and raffia work, will be finished up
and prepared for exhibition at that
time.
Mr. Aplin, who has spent a great
deal of time on the playground, erect-
ing the apparatus and keeping things
in shape, also directing the activities
for the boys, will train them in an In-
dian stunt and some surprises may be
looked for in this line. The boys are
going to try to beat the Red Men in
paint and make up. The finals in the
horse shoe pitching contest will be
held and athletic events with badge
prizes for the winners, will be run off.
A special treat will be given the boys
and girls who participate in the fes-
tivities of the afternoon. The parents
and friends of the children are asked
to attend and enjoy the closing day
with the children. .

the pledges. :
Throughout the entire day there
will be on exhibit and for demonstra-
tion all kinds of the latest machinery
used in potato production and market-
ing, such as planters, cultivators,
sprayers, diggers, graders, etc.
About five thousand of the best po-
tato growers from every county in
Pennsylvania are expected at the Col-
lege on that day. Most of them will
come in auto tours from their county
and several counties will bring their
own band.
There will be a basket picnic in the

give one dollar as his share of the gift.
A member of the committee will call
on the ex-soldiers in the near future.
An appeal is made to every Legion

sion at the Business Men’s picnic yes-
terday and thus added to the fund.
