two weeks ago, was taken directly to
her rooms on Bishop street, where she
is slowly convalescing from her sev-
enteen week’s illness. Although Miss
‘Tate’s condition has greatly improved,
she has not as yet been able to resume
ther work.
Smooth shoe soles and a steep
pavement ‘are a dangerous combina-
dion, or so they proved to J. H. Deck-
er, on Saturday. Walking down the
pavement along the Deitrick-Dunlap
‘Cadillac company garage, on Satur-
«day, his feet slipped from under him
:and he fell to the pavement, fractur-
iing two bones in his right wrist.

‘Tries, of Bellefonte, has resigned his

The body of two year old Jane
Claney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
‘Murdock P. Claney, of Wilkinsburg,
who was killed in an auto accident
near Cresson several weeks ago, was
brought to Bellefonte last Saturday
for burial in the McClure lot in the
Union cemetery. The body had lain
in a receiving vault in Wilkinsburg
since the date of the accident.
It is safe to say that most of
the people in Bellefonte would like to
go with the Logans to Hecla park next
Wednesday, but it is no guess to say
that hundreds of people like to attend
the Scenic as frequently as possible. :
The big fans keep the house fairly
comfortable, while the motion pictures
are always worth seeing. Read the
program for next week’s offerings in
another column.
One of the lions carried by the
Gentry-Patterson show, which will ex-
hibit in Bellefonte tomorrow, died as
the result of the excessive heat while
the show was at Lancaster last Wed-
nesday, and at Pottstown, on Friday
night, Howard Walsh, one of the
clowns, was painfully burned by an
exploding bouquet, which had been
overcharged with flashlight powder.
Walsh was knocked down and had to
be dragged out of the ring but made
no outery and the thousands of spec-
tators thought the performance a
part of his act.
Last Friday landlord M. A.
Landsy, of the Brockerhoff house, took
a little ride around town with John
Bauer in his express truck. The lat-
ter had a trip to south Paul street
and as he went to turn the corner off
of west High street he was confronted
by another truck standing in the mid-
dle of the street. He turned quickly
to avoid hitting the truck and ran into
= post at the side of the street. Mr.
Bower escaped injury but Mr. Landsy
was thrown forward against the
frame of the cab of the truck and
sustained a badly bruised head and
face, as well as a damaged hat. The
truck was not materially damaged.
——The three big transformers to
be used by the Keystone Power cor-
poration in reducing the current from
the Penn Central company power line
to conform with the units of the cor-
poration service arrived in Bellefonte
last week and are now being unloaded
out at the Phoenix mill pumping sta-
tion. The transformers weigh seven-
teen tons each and it is going to be
some job to transfer them to the
$ransforming station out on the big
green just north of the Bush Addi-
tion school house. The original idea
was to put down a temporary railroad
track out Willowbank street on which
‘to move the ponderous machines, but
this plan has been given up and rollers
will be used instead. Inasmuch as the
machines are quite high considerable
«care will have to be exercised that
they ‘do not topple over so that the
Job of moving them is not an easy
ane.

Prison Agitators Weeded Out at Rock-
| view Penitentiary.
Readers of the Watchman will re-
call that a month or more ago a
number of prisoners created a dis-
turbance at the western penitentiary
at Rockview over the food that was
being supplied them and since that
time the prison authorities have pur-
sued a quiet campaign of inquiry
which has resulted in disclosing the
identity of the leaders in the food in-
surrection. . The result is that every
‘man implicated will be sent back to
ithe western penitentiary at Pitts-
burgh to serve his time.
The first consignment of six prison-
ers was taken back on Saturday, and
they have been transported in squads
of six every day. All told about
thirty-five are doomed for return to
the western institution. A few of the
men possess the look of considerable
intelligence but the majority of them
are not at all prepossessing. One of
the men sent back on Saturday re-
marked that they were “just going
back home.”
ESCAPED PRISONERS RECAPTURED.
The first of the eight prisoners who
' escaped from the penitentiary on June
17th and 19th was captured in Chi-
cago on Monday morning. He was
Edward Fiddell, sent up from Cam-
bria county for from three to five
years. Fiddell was originally from
' Chicago and was one of the men who
walked away from the Rockview in-
stitution on Sunday evening, June
17th. He evidently lost little time in
' getting back to his old haunts in the
picked up so quickly after arriving
there ought to be a warning to all
Windy city, but the fact that he was
the prisoners at the institution that
|
it does not pay to take French leave.
Robert Hill, the Jefferson county in-
mate who was among the six that es-
caped from the big dormitory on the
morning of June 19th, was captured
at Punxsutawney on Tuesday night.
Hill was brought to the Centre county
jail on Wednesday, and as soon as
Judge Quigley returns home will be
sentenced for breaking away from the
penitentiary.
Our Court Reversed in the Mary
Brown Case.
On Monday the Supreme court of
Pennsylvania handed down an opin-
ion in the case of Mary Brown versus
the estate of Jane Brown, deceased,
C. M. McCurdy, administrator. The
opinion sets,aside the verdict of the
jury of the Centre county court in fa-
vor of the plaintiff and in substance
declares that she has no right to re-
cover.
The case grew out of the will of the
late Jane Brown, of Howard street,
this place. Mary Brown was her
daughter-in-law and lived with her,
; nursing her over a period of years
i during her last illness. When the will
was opened it was found that the tes-
tatrix had made many bequests to her
next of kin and among them was one
of a house and lot on Howard street,
the household furniture and $600.00 in
cash to Mary Brown. The residuary
estate, amounting to $16,000 or $18,-
000, was to be distributed among the
beneficiaries of her estate according
to the various specific bequests made
them in the will.
Mary Brown then brought suit
against the administrator to recover
for services rendered her mother-in-
‘law. The case was tried in the Cen-
tre county courts last fall and the
jury rendered a verdict of approxi-
mately $11,000 for the plaintiff.
The other heirs of the estate ap-
pealed to the Supreme court. The
case was argued in Philadelphia in
April and Monday’s decree is the out-
come of it.
i The result will very materially af-
i fect the share the blood relatives of
Mrs. Brown will probably receive
since it will establish a new basis on
{ which the division of the residuary es-
tate must be made and thus affect the
proportions each of them will receive.
The children of Harry Ulmer Tib-
bens, of Johnstown, are among those
advantageously affected by the opin-
ion.
Spend the Fourth with the Logans at
Hecla Park.
Years ago the Fourth of July invar-
iably meant a rousing patriotic dem-
onstration in almost every town and
hamlet, and the aftermath was gen-
erally a long list of dead and injured
as the result of the promiscuous use of
powerful explosives and fireworks.
Today the slogan is for “a safe and
sane Fourth,” and while many towns
have celebrations they are along en-
tirely different lines, but none the less
enjoyable.
State College has arranged for a
celebration on the Fourth while Snow
Shoe will also have a big time. Belle-
fonte will have no celebration in the
town as most everybody will go to
Hecla park to spend the day with the
Logan fire company. This is the only
| time in the entire year when the Lo-
gans come before the public asking
for anything, and on these occasions
they simply ask the public to go to
Hecla park and have a good time.
The program includes a concert by
the I. 0. O. F. band from 9 to 10
o’clock in the morning. At ten o’clock
a league ball game will take place be-
tween Centre Hall and Bellefonte.
Luncheon in abundance can be secur-
ed on the grounds; also ice cream, ice
cold soft drinks, etc. In the afternoon
there will be another league ball game
between Centre Hall and Bellefonte,
and dancing in the pavilion. In addi-
tion there will be boating and swim-
ming and dancing in the evening. The
fire boys always turn out at the first
sound of an alarm, Now is the time
for the public to respond with the
same alacrity.

——Mrs. Emma Meredith, widow of
William B. Meredith, of Tyrone, and a
sister of Mrs. George L. VanTries, of
Pittsburgh, died at her home in Ty-
rone on Wednesday of last week fol-
lowing ten days’ illness with influenza.
Burial was made in Tyrone on Fri-
day.
——The Academy swimming pool
on Hughes field proved a cool oasis in
the sweltering heat of most of the
past week and was liberally patroniz-
ed by many people in Bellefonte. The
new pipe line to the pool will soon be
completed and that will permit of
freshening. the water as often as is
deemed necessary. Some pressure has
been brought to bear upon Mr. Hughes
to throw open his pool on Sunday but
the arguments so far presented do not
carry sufficient weight to persuade
him that it is justifiable.
——=Saturday was a hoodoo day for
the Bellefonte baseball team. They
not only got trounced by State Col-
lege to the tune of 20 to 0 but another
member, Joe Katz, son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. S. Katz, broke his right an-
kle while making a slide to third base.
A peculiar coincidence is the fact that
Katz, like Weaver, who broke his leg
several weeks ago, was not one of the
regular players in the game but was
called from the bench as a pinch run-
ner for Montgomery. In attempting
the slide the cleats on his shoe caught
in the ground, twisting the foot and
fracturing the bones of his leg. Dr.
Dale took him to the Bellefonte hos-
pital where he is now receiving proper
attention.
——A marriage license was issued
in Dauphin county on Monday to Paul
R. Emerick and Miss Hazel M. Solt,
of Bellefonte. Mr. Emerick has been
the progressive manager of the A.
and P. grocery store in the Brocker-
hoff house block from the time it was
opened until last week, while Miss
Solt, who is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Cyrus Solt, has been a clerk in
the same store. Mr. Emerick has
been relieved of the management of
to a more important post in Califor-
nia and will leave for the Pacific
coast within a week or ten days.
The young people were married on
Wednesday and left for the west yes-
terday afternoon. :
——Frank G. Clemson, who is in
Davenport, Iowa, being treated by and
.studying the principles of chiroprac-
tic, writes enthusiastically of his ex-
perience. He says: “Chiropractic
was discovered a little over twenty-
five years ago, by Dr. D. D. Palmer,
by accident, and has grown by leaps
and bounds since that time. At the
present time the Palmer school of
chiropractic represents an investment
close to one million dollars, and has
institution. Last February a class of
1000 was graduated, representing
most every State in the Union and
many foreign countries. Today there
are thousands of people taking ad-
justments, not only in the United
States, but in foreign countries.”
Important Contributions te Y. M. C. A.
Library.
The library committee of the Belle-
fonte Y. M. C. A. has reason to feel
very much: gratified over the liberal
contributions of valuable books made
by friends of the institution. Mrs. R.
G. H. Hayes contributed 101 books of
good fiction; Mrs. D. H. Hastings 125
books of fiction; the children of the
late Mrs. J. Y. Dale gave their fath-
er’s home: library, which was general
in character and does not include his
medical books, and James R. Hughes
donated his father’s general library.
Centre County Wool Crop Sold.
The sales committee of the Centre
county Sheep and Wool Grower's as-
sociation met last Friday evening for
the purpose of opening sealed bids on
this year’s wool clip.
It was decided to sell to Hirsch
Brothers, of Cumberland, Md. The
wool will be collected at the three lo-
cal associations, Bellefonte, Spring
Mills and Pine Grove Mills on Friday
forenoon, June 29th. The Bellefonte
location has been changed to Dubbs’
warehouse near the Bellefonte Fuel &
Supply Co.
Every farmer who has wool to sell
should take it to one of these three lo-
cal associations this forenoon. It is
not necessary to be a member of the
association in order to sell wool
through it. Further details may 1! :

Horseshoe Trailers at State College.
Over one hundred members of the
Horseshoe Trail association are hold-
ing a two day’s meeting at State Col-
lege. The trailers motored to the
College yesterday and their first get-
together was at a dinner at the Uni-
versity Inn. Following the dinner a
business meeting was held in the Nit-
tany theatre. George W. Worthing-
ton of Altoona, president of the asso-
ciation, presided, and among the
speakers were Dr. John W. Thomas
and J. Laird Holmes.
This (Friday) morning a trip over
the entire college campus and farms
will take place. Automobiles will be
used for this trip, which will disclose
many of the college attractions that
are not usually seen by the casual
visitor. Following this trip the as-
sociation members will gather at the
new Centre Hills country club, two
miles from State College, and follow-
ing luncheon there, the afternoon will
be devoted to sports on the club
grounds. :

The Western Maryland Dairy to
Refinance.
Announcement has just been made
by the Commonwealth bank, of Bal-
timore, Md., that it has underwritten
an issue of $875,000 of preferred stock
which will be put in the properties of
the Western Maryland Dairy.
The stock will probably be sold to
yield slightly more than 7% and it is
the plan to offer it to all patrons and
employees of the various plants of the
company, either on the the cash pay-
ment or installment plan.
The Western Maryland Dairy is a
well known corporation here. Rarely
has Bellefonte secured a new industry
that has proven so uniformly advan-
tageous as has the receiving station
of the company built here several
years ago.
The new financing is necessitated
because the Western has absorbed the
City Dairy, its only real competitor in
Baltimore, and this with its receiving
stations at Bellefonte, Pylesville, Md.,
Woodbine, Pa.,and Portsville, N. Y.,
makes it the largest and most thor-
oughly modern dairy system in Amer-
ica.
The dairy operators now represent-
ed in the Western Maryland Dairy,
founded many years ago by Irvin D.
Baxter, chairman of the board, all
have been operating plants that in the
course of time had grown old. The
grouping of their gallonage in a new,
thoroughly modern plant, with mod-
ern receiving stations in the country
and modern distributing stations in
the city, have resulted in a fairly
large saving over the old method. The
dairy has capitalized this saving by
making its plant one of the largest
in the country, with equipment pro-
nounced by experts to be unsur-
passed.
Camp A. G. Morris to Open Today.
The summer outing conducted for
the junior members of the Y. M. C.
A., of Bellefonte, will begin today,
when the advance guard of little fel-
lows will leave for this year’s camp-
site near Franklinville, in Huntingdon
county.
Those of us who know what secre-
tary Aplin did for the little group of
boys he had up Spring Creek last
summer for two weeks are anticipat-
ing even greater results in his char-
acter building campaign when he gets
his crowd onto the great new grounds
of the tri-county and State Sunday-
school association, which are designed
to be one of the finest recreational
centers in the State. They cover 203
acres, within a mile of Franklin-
ville, and already mess halls and
kitchens are permanent buildings. A
great lake for boating and swimming
is under way and each group of eight
boys will have a wall tent, with board
floor, iron cot and electric light, with
a big brother councillor.
The hoys who are to go today, about
twenty-five, are regarded as the pio-
neers of Camp A. G. Morris. They
were with Mr. Aplin last year and
have been selected to prepare camp
for the main party which will join
them next week, bringing the total to
nearly fifty.
E. E. Beals, of State College, who
cooked so satisfactorily for the camp
last year, will be with them again.
He makes a fine team mate for Mr.
Aplin because he loves boys and
knows just how to keep them away
from the cook-house between meals
without starting a riot and how he
gives them the food he does for $3.50
per week was the miracle of last
year’s camp to us. Not one of the
group that was there last year failed
to register an increase in weight and
they came home a far manlier and
robust crowd of little fellows than
they were when they went away.
The camp is named for the Hon. A.
G. Morris as an expression of grati-
tude for the very helpful interest he
has taken in bringing the reconstruct-
ed Y of Bellefonte into a field of
greater usefulness to the community.

——Verily the life of the locust is
short and sweet. Last week the sing-
ing of the thousands of insects which
swarmed on the shade trees in Belle-
fonte could be heard above the din of
the daily motor traffic, while this
week their singing has not even been
noticeable. But they furnished suc-
culent food for the robins and spar-
rows while they were here and the re-
sult was the birds did not make their
customary inroads on the cherry trees.
