Pageant to be Big Attraction at
Grange Encampment,
The big encampment and fair to be
held by Centre county Grangers at
Grange park, Centre Hall, September
1st to 7th, will be the fiftieth annual
gathering and to commemorate the |
founding thereof the management has
prepared an elaborate educational
pageant as one of the big features of
the encampment. It will be held on
the evenings of September 4th and
5th, at eight o'clock. “The Third Sea-
son” is the title of the pageant which
will portray in three episodes the de-
velopment of Grange organization
and activities during the past fifty
years.
More than 400 people will take part
in the pageant, which will provide
continuous entertainment and inspi-
ration for over two hours. Color ef-
fects, beautiful costumes and inter-
pretative dancing are special features
that will make the program very spec-
tacular.
Men, women and children from ten
communities of Centre county are
taking part in the event and rehear-
sals are being held frequently to per-
fect the portrayal.

| ISHLER.—Mrs. Jamime Garbrick
Ishler, wife of John P. Ishler, of
State College, died quite suddenly at
an early hour on Monday morning
i while on an auto trip to Atlantic City
for the benefit of her health. For
some time past she had been subject
‘to heart attacks and her physician ad-
vised taking her to the seashore.
Consequently a party composed of
Mr. and ‘Mrs. Ishler, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert A. Kerstetter and Mr. and
Mrs. Clyde Bouse, left State College
early Sunday morning to motor to At-
lantic City. They traveled leisurely
during the day and reaching a point
six miles below Lancaster pitched
their tents and went into camp for the
night. Mrs. Ishler was apparently
enjoying her experience but at mid-
night she suffered a severe attack and
passed away at 1:10 o'clock. They
were able to secure a physician for
her but she was beyond help when he
reached the camp. An undertaker
was secured there and the party all
| returned by motor on Monday.
Mrs. Ishler was a daughter of Ja-
cob and Elizabeth Garbrick and was
born in Marion township on August
31st, 1855, hence was not quite sixty-
eight years old. On December 18th,
1872, she married John P. Ishler and
the early years of their married life
were spent in Bellefonte and Spring
' township, finally locating on a farm
in Benner township where they lived
many years. The Ishler farm was
one of those purchased as a site for
the new western penitentiary and
since that time, or during the past ten
years, Mr. and Mrs. Ishler have made
their home at State College. Mrs.
Ishler was a life-long member of the
Lutheran church and a woman whose
religious principles were exemplified
in her daily life. She lived to see her
family of children grow into worth-
while citizens and all in comfortable
circumstances.
In addition to her husband her fam-
ily includes the following sens and
daughters: William Jacob Ishler, of
State College R. F. D.; Martin Luth-
er Ishler, of Zion; Henry Emanuel, of
Pleasant Gap; Mrs. Robert A. Ker-
stetter and Mrs. W. R. Gentzel, of
State College; John G., of Boalsburg,
and Mrs. Clyde Bouse, of State Col-
lege. She also leaves one brother,
Jacob Garbrick, of Bellefonte.
Funeral services were held at her
late home at State College at 2:30
| o’clock on Wednesday afternoon by

' Circuit Court of Appeals Affirms the
District Court in the Centre
County Bank Case.
On Monday the Circuit Court of
Appeals for Pennsylvania handed
down an opinion in the case of Geo.
R. Meek, Florence F. Dale and An-
drew Breese, alleged partners, vs, the
Centre County Banking company.
The case was argued in Philadel-
phia last March and was an appeal
from the ruling of the district court
at Sunbury, Judge Witmer sitting, to
the effect that the three presons
named should answer the petition of
John M. Shugert, praying that the
banking company and its individual
owners be adjudged bankrupts.
While Mrs. Dale and Messrs. Breese
and Meek deny that they are part-
ners in the Banking company the ap-
peal was taken on a question of jur-
isdiction; the appellants arguing that
there is no process of law by which
they can be taken into court upon such
ia petition as Mr. Shugert filed. The
! question of fact or the merits of the
. individual contentions did not enter
, into it. .
| We are not advised as to what the
future steps in the litigation will be.
Or what action is permissible. An
appeal to the Supreme court of the
{ United States from the opinion of
i Judge Davis of the Circuit court is
| possible, if the Circuit court grants
permission to take such an appeal. If
an appeal should not be taken then
the alleged partners must answer the
amended petition of Mr. Shugert to
the District court and show cause
why they should not be adjudged
bankrupts. Such action on their part
might eventuate in trials by jury of
the three individuals to establish the
fact as to whether they were or were
not partners in the Banking company
at the time it went into liquidation.
The opinion of Judge Davis fol-
lows:
John M. Shugert, George R. Meek,
Mary C. Harris, Florence F. Dale,
Andrew Breeze and Lavina Katherine
Harris conducted a banking business at
Bellefonte, Pa., under the firm name of
Centre County Banking Company. La-
vina Katherine Harris died ‘and while
her estate “was being administrated in
the Probate Court of Centre County, Jobn
M. Shogert filed a petition in his own
name and in the name of the partnership
in which he alleged that he individually,
the partnership and his partners were all
insolvent and prayed that he, the part-
pership aud the partners, individnally,
be adjudged bankrupts. After the ser-
vice of subpoenas on all the partners per-
sonally except Andrew Brecze who was
served by publication, the appellants
filed petitions praying the court to dis
miss Shugert’s petition in bankruptcy
for two reasons: First, Shugert was
{ without enthority, without consent of
his partners, to have the partnership and
| the individual members thereof! adjudi-
cated bankrupts; and second, the partuer-

reap the harvest of its fifty years of
organized effort, confronted by the
great national problems that are a
challenge to the farming industry.

In the afternoon the program will
be supplemented by addresses on edu-
cational subjects. Dr. J. M. Thomas,
of The Pennsylvania State College,
and L. H. Dennis, head of the bureau
of vocational education, will lead in
prominence as speakers and all are
urged to hear them on this important
subject.

Karl W. Bashoar, the junior mem-
ber of the new proprietors of the
Gamble mill, has secured the part of
the Parker house on Spring street,
vacated by the Rev. Evans family,
and took possession of it at once,
going there from Mrs. J. E. Ward's,

ed quite serious. Mr. Beezer, who has
not been in good health for months,
was taken to the hospital two weeks
ago for examination and treatment.
Mrs. Beezer was with him and it was
because of his desire to return home
that his son Arthur went to Danville
on Wednesday and brought him to

| Authority of one partner to 1ustitute pro-
! ceedings in bankruptcy involving his
partners individoally and the partner-
ship was conferred by section 36 of the
Act of 1867, but this authority, they con-
tend, was omitted from the Act of 1898
and this omission shows that Congress
intended to repeal the authority granted
in that section. But section 5 a and ¢, of
the Act cf 1898 provides that:
(a) “A pertnership, during the con-
tinnation of the partnership business,
or after its dissolution and before the
final settlement thereof, may be adjudg-
ed a bankrupt.
(c¢) The court of bankruptcy which
has jurisdiction of one of the partners
may have jurisdiction of all the partners
‘and of the administration of the partner-
ship and individual property.’’
General Order No. VIII provides that:
‘*‘Any member of a partnership, who
refuses to join in a petition to have the
psrtoership declared bankrupt, shall be
entitled to resist the prayer of the pe-
tition in the same manner as if the pe-
tition had been filed by a creditor of the
partnership, and notice of the filing of
the petition shall be given to him in the
same manner as provided by law and by
those rales in the case of a debtor peti-
tioned against.’’
Appellants contends that the shove
section and General Order refer to io-
voluntary and not to voluntary petitions
in bankruptcy. General Order No. VIII
was promulgated by the Supreme Court
pursuant to section 30 of the Act of 1896
end had tke force of law. This section
provides that: :
*“All necessary rules, forms, and orders
as to procedure and for carrying this act
into force and effect shall be prescribed,
and may be amended {rom time to time,
by the Supreme Coart of the United
States.” . 3
So fer as the language of section 5
provides, the adjudication against a
partnership may be based on eithera
voluntary or involuntary petition. The
appellants admit that an adjudication
may be based on an involuntary petition,
but not on a voluntary petition filed by
one of the partners. Under the autbor-
ity of section 36 of the Act. of: 1867 a
volant y, «petition might be filed by
anyons * of the partners or by ‘‘any
creditor’ of the partnership. There is
nothing in the language of ‘section Sof
the Act.pf 1898 ‘restricting adjudications
to involuntary petitions. It signply pro-
vides that:'!s partonership—may be ‘ad-
judged a bankrupt,” "Did not Congress
in section 5 of the later Act tersely in-
clude everything contained in section 36
of the earlier Act? Inthe absence of any
provision in the Act of 1898 to the con-
trary, we think the true interpretation
requires us to hold that it did? If the
Act of 1898 had provided that ‘‘a partner-
ship may be adjudged a bankrupt’ on
the petition of ‘‘any creditor,’ this
would have indicated that Congress in-
tended to deny to an individual partner
authority to file a petition sgainst the
partnership. Inthat event, the argu.
ment of counsel that expressio unius est
exclusio alterins wonld have force.
Under the broad authority conferred’ by
section 5 of the Act of 1898 a petition
may be filed by ‘‘any one’’ of the part.
ners, and by ‘‘any creditor.”’ The legal
maxim on which counsel’s argument on
this phase of the case is based has no ap-
plication to the facts before us. : :
General Order No. VIII provides that:
‘‘Any member of a partnership who re- | Farewell Reception to Rev. Evans.
fuses to join in the petition—s¢hall be en-
titled to resist the prayer’’ etc. By the
words ‘‘join in,’’ the Supreme Court had
in mind a voluntery petition “ filed by a
member of the partnership and this pe-
tition is distinguished from a petition
filed by a ‘‘creditor’’ in which a member
of the partnerskip would not ‘‘joinm in.”’
Judge Lowell held in the case of In re
Forbes et al. 128 Fed. 137, 140 that a pe-
tition by one partner dispenses with the
necessity of proof of any other act of
bankruptcy by the partnership and if the
other partners do not ‘‘join in’’ the
petition, they may resist it just as they
might heve done if ‘*any creditor’ of the
partnership hed filed an involuntary pe-
tition. The opinion received the com-
mendation of the Sopreme Court.
Francis V. McNeal, 228 U. S. 695.
Where a partnership is composed of two
members and one of the members is ad-
judicated e bankrupt bat the other is not,
the bankruptcy court may draw to itself
and edminister the estate of the other to
an extent sufficient to pay the debts of
the partnership adjudged to be bankrupt.
Armstrong V. Fisher et al., 224 Fed. 97;
Frencis V. McNeal, 186 Fed. 481, affirm-
ed in 228 U S. 695; Yungbluth V. Slip-
per et al., 185 Fed. 773.
Does the fect that the estate of Lavina
Katherine Harris is being administered
in the Probate Court of Centre County,
Pennsylvania prevent adjudication and
admingistretion . of - the partnership in
bankruptcy? ‘‘Thbere is en apparent con-
flict of authority opon this question!’
Collier on Banzruptcy (12 E4.) 175. The
death of one of the partners does not in
eny wise affect the insolvency of the
partnership. Insolvency Joes not de-
pend upon whether the property liable to
creditors is in the hends of a living sar-
vivieg partner or in the hands of the ad-
ministrator of his estate. Proceedings
against an ipsolvent partrership and in-
solvent partners should not be made im-
possible because one of the partners is
dead. Vaccaro et al. v. Security Bank
of Mempbis et al,, 130 Fed. 436,443. The
contrary view is based on the proposition
that the court which first secares posses-
sion of the funds shall administer them,
but there is no need whatever of conflict
over the property of the decedant’s es-
tate. Partnership assets are liable pri-
marily for partnership debts. After the
iudividual assets of the estate of Lavina
Katherine Harris are administered by the
Probate Court if there is a surplus to be
applied to the partnership debts, it will
be turned over to the bankruptcy court.

order appealed from is affirmed.
Volunteer Firemen Hold Convention
at Clearfield.
At the annual convention of the
Central Pennsylvania Volunteer Fire-
men’s association, held at Clearfield
last week, changes in the by-laws
were authorized which will permit
each organization to elect two dele-
gates to the annual conventions in-
stead of one, and increasing the annu-
al dues from one to two dollars. Pat-
ton was selected as the place for hold-
ing next year’s convention.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: President, Wil-
liam Trumbell, of Patton; first vice
president, John Mills, of Houtzdale;
second vice president, J. F. Ainslee, of
DuBois; secretary, John E. Johnson,
of DuBois; treasurer, Hon. Harry B.
Scott, of Philipsburg, who was also
elected an honorary life member; del-
egate to State convention, John M.
Bain, of Clearfield.
At the annual banquet held in the
Clearfield exposition building Alex P.
Kreher, of Clearfield, the retiring
president, was presented with a very
serviceable traveling bag.
The parade on Thursday morning
was a very creditable display and the
various athletic contests in the after-
noon exceedingly interesting. Over
six hundred dollars were awarded in
prizes.
Diphtheria Prevention Clinic.
The first diphtheria prevention
clinic was held in Bellefonte Tuesday,
August 24th, in the Red Cross room.
Ninety-six children received their
first injection of toxin-antitoxin to
protect them against diphtheria.
Dr. J. L. Seibert and Dr. David
Dale treated the children, assisted by
the State nurse, Miss Ethel M. Camp-
bell, and Miss Blanche Hayes, State
supervisor. Miss Daise Keichline and
Mrs. Blanche Schloss assisted by
keeping records.
The second clinic will be held Tues-
day, August 28th, between two and
three o’clock.
Parents who have not had their
children treated and desire to do so,
must obtain consent permits from
Miss Daise Keichline, east Bishop
street, and Mrs. Blanche Schloss,
High street. These permits must be
signed and returned to Miss Keich-
line not later than Friday noon, Au-
gust 24th.
The second clinic was held in Lock
Haven last Friday; two hundved chil-
dren were treated. This treatment is
not successful unless all three injec-
tions are taken.

Between two and three hundred
people, not all of whom were Presby-
terians attended the farewell recep-
tion given Rev. David R. Evans and
family, in the chapel of the Pres-
byterian church on Monday night.
Col. J. L. Spangler was master of cer-
emonies but the informal character of
the gathering made it especially de-
lightful to all present. Naturally bou-
quets were passed around promiscu-
ously and to such an extent that Rev.
Evans was led to remark that it
sounded like the nice things said
about a man after he was dead.
This assertion was made after the
reading of the following resolutions,
which were adopted with great una-
nimity and hearty applause by all
present:
Whereas, It has seemed best to our pas-
tor, the Reverend David R. Evans, to re-
quest the dissolution of the pastoral rela-
tions existing between him and this con-
gregation, and to accept a call from the
Knox Presbyterian church, of Kearny,
New Jersey; and
Whereas, This congregation feels keen-
ly the loss entailed by this severance of
relations and is desirous of expressing
some measure of its appreciation of his
services; therefore be it
Resolved, That this congregation com-
mend him for the strength of his faith in
the Presbyterian church and its possibili- {
ties for advancing the Kigdom of our
Lord; for his zea] in the christian edu-
cation of the children and youth of this
community and the spreading and deepen-
ing of religious faith among all ages and
conditions; for the sturdy honesty of his
purpose and the vigor of his convictions;
for the fearless sincerity of his speech and
conduct. That we most heartily commend
him for his broad-mindedness, his pro-
gressive tendencies,
his general excellence as
preacher; and be it
Resolved, That we give him without
stint full credit for whatever there has
been of increase in membership, of
growth in zeal and interest in the affairs
of the church, for whatever there is of
larger support for benevolences and the
needs of the church, and for a brighter
financial outlook than we have had for
many years; that we assure him that his
“Aim to Serve” has been attained; and
be it
Resolved, That we most heartily com-
mend his wife and companion for the
faithful way in which she has labored in
the interests of the church and for her
full accord in all the efforts of her hus-
band in the cause of the Master; and be
it further
Resolved, That the congratulations of
this people be and they are hereby extend-
ed to the congregation of Knox Presby-
terian church, of Kearny, New Jersey, in
securing his energetic, valued and devot-
ed services; and be it finally
Resolved, That we bid him and his fam-
ily God-speed in their new field; that we
wish them joy in their work, long contin-
ued years of useful service, and the ap-
pastor and
preciation of the people wherever they '
may be; and that the prayer of this con-
gregation is that the blessings of their
God and ours shall accompany them
wherever they may go, uphold their hands
and give them power in greater and great-
er abundance in doing the work of the
Kingdom.
Respectfully submitted,

Committee.
A quartette of musical geniuses
from Tyrone assisted local talent in
the musical part of the program while
the few speeches were brief and to
the point. One episode worth men-
tioning was introducced by Mr.
Charles M. McCurdy, who produced
two cancelled notes, one for $900 and
the other for $950, which represented
the discharged obligations of the con-
gregation. In presenting them for
destruction he stated that it was like
parting with old friends, as the bank
had carried them through two wars,
the Spanish-American and world war.
The payment of these notes cleared
up all such indebtedness of the church,
and while the congregation still has
one more obligation to discharge to
clear them of all debts the unpaid
pledges of the recent drive will more
than cover it. This is one creditable
work Rev. Evans accomplished dur-
ing the last few weeks of his pastor-
ate, as it will leave the church free of
all obligations when a new pastor is
finally selected.
But recurring to the reception, in
addition to the feast of music and
trite speeches refreshments were
served and it was almost eleven o’clock
when the gathering broke up.
Rev. Evans and family went to
Birmingham on Wednesday to attend
a conference, expecting to be away
until the early part of next week
when they will return and ship their
household goods to the pastor’s new
appointment in New Jersey.
