Various reports have come to Bellefonte during the summer season in regard to the different kinds of game which abounds in the foothills of the Allegheny mountains, in the vicinity of the Dim Lantern tea house, conducted by Miss Ruth Garman and Mrs. Resides, but all other stories were eclipsed a few days ago when the fair proprietress of the Dim Laniern found a rabbit sitting con- tentedly on the stairs leading from the “rst to the second floor of the house.

Tomorrow’s game, however, will give State enthusiasts an oppor- tunity to size up the players and get some idea as to the probable winning qualities of the team. ——Country newspapers have a con- tinuous struggle from one year’s end to another so that the editor is often constrained to wonder whether his work is really worth while, but with that they are not up against the whims and vagaries of workmen’s unions like the publishers in the big cities. The pressman’s strike in New York city, on Tuesday night of last week, so completely tied up all the big newspaper offices that nog one of them was able to put out a regular edition. The only thing in the shape of a newspaper was an eight page sheet published by the ten leading newspa- pers combined in which a brief sum- mary of the news was given, one page of sports and the market reports. No display advertising was accepted and the result was the business in the big department stores fell off almost fif- ty per cent. ; Norman Good, a former! clerl: in the Bellefonte postoffice but . W. C. T. U. CONVENTION. Annual Gathering Held at Centre Hall Last Week. Last Thursday and Friday, Septem- ber 20th and 21st, the Woman’s Chris- tian Temperance Union of Centre county met in their thirty-eighth an- nual convention in the Reformed church, Centre Hall. . The convention was very: well attended and marked by enthusiasm and keen interest. All sessions were opened and closed with prayer, and emphasis was again plac- ed on last year’s slogan, “Back to the Bible and Family Altar.” Mrs. Camp- bell extended greetings in a few well chosen words of welcome, which were responded to by Mrs. Morgan, presi- dent of Philipsburg Union, after which the regular business of the convention was taken up. Different phases of the recent primaries were discussed and a motion carried unani- mously that-a plan be formulated to have each local Union have a woman appointed in its town as inspector on the election board. The policy of the W. C. T. U. reiterated that DRY can- didates, entirely irrespective of party, should receive the support of all W. C. T. U. members. Reports of super- intendents followed, showing excellent work done by the various depart- ments. The church was brightened with flowers and a display of gay-colored afghans and sunshine bags which the county superintendent, Miss Rhoads, who is also national superintendent of the soldiers and sailors department of the W. C. T. U., explained were sam- ples of some of the cheering articles which are given the disabled service and ex-service men in the hospitals. State College, Pleasant Gap and Bellefonte Unions each had very beau- tiful afghans on display and a num- ber of others were reported in the making. Bellefonte made and filled nearly one hundred of the sunshine bags during the year and gave them to the tuberculosis patients in one of the Pittsburgh hospitals. Thursday afternoon session was given over to reports on branch work, superintendent’s reports continued, and the president’s address. Rew. Drum, of Centre Hall, and Rev. Cath- erman, of Spring Mills, were intro- duced and made very timely and pleasing remarks. The president, Miss Rhoads, in her address, dwelt upon the great responsibility devolv- ing upon each individual at the pres- ent time to exert every atom of influ- ence for the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment, declaring that the whole world is eagerly watching the United States at this crucial time in its history, when law-violators are menacing the very Constitution itself. Any laxity on the part of the good American Christian citizen now; any | indifference, luke-warmness or inert- | ness in regard to this vital question is akin to treason, almost equal to fir- {ing upon the flag.” She spoke of her : i recent visit to the ten different coun- | tries of the world and of the stead- ily growing ‘sentiment in practically every .country for prohibition, pre- ‘ dicting that the whole world, without “doubt, is going dry. She spoke of the great decrease in drinking in the British army, of having personally i seen in Egypt printed notices forbid- { ding the sale of intoxicants to men in | nifornt, and mentioned the fact that | on Armistice day, 1918, the rum ra- i tion in the British army was discon- | tinued and has neyer been revived. | She spoke of the Royal Army Tem- { perance association, of Great Britain, | sponsored by the King himself, and numbering many thousands in its | membersihp; of the prohibition bill that had recently been presented be- i fore the British Parliament; and the ‘ passage of Lady Astor’s famous tem- | perance bill by a large vote in Parlia- ment. She spoke of the petition of | thousands of Egyptian citizens for . prohibition. Miss Rhoads attended, while in Lon- don, England, the annual convention the World’s W. C. T. U., at which eleven hundred delegates registered from England and Wales alone. This great meeting was presided over by Lady Cecilia Roberts, daughter of the late Countess of Carlysle, world’s W. C. T. U. president. Rhoads had the privilege of speaking twice in London, one evening in the big auditorium of Kingsway Hall, be- fore this great convention, and once before a large gathering of young people. She was asked to remain to so intense was the interest taken in this great question of prohibition. Mention was also made in the presi- dent’s address of the recent national convention of the W. C. T. U., held in Columbus, Ohio, and of the great march of allegiance to the constitu- tion which was a part of that com- vention. This patriotic pageant was lled by the Governor of the State and his staff, and the mayor of Columbus and his official family. Six thousand { women in white, were in line, 'includ- ing members of all the women’s clubs | of Columbus, besides those of the W. C. 1.1. { At the Thursday evening session 0 the convention two very good ad- dresses were made by Rev. D. R. Keener, of Centre Hall, and Rev. H. C. Thompson, district superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. Rev. velopment of the spirit of Christ in each individual in order to bring about desired reforms. Rev.

At this time: Mrs.. Ella M. George, presi- dent of the Pennsylvania W. C. T. U,, arrived and was greeted by the white ribbon cheer and gave a very impres- sive, if brief, talk on law enforce- ment. Mrs. George was present for all of the Friday sessions, conducted parliamentary drill, and gave a mas- terly address Friday evening, review- ing the past achievements of the W. C. T. U. and telling of the great pres- ent effort for raising the $250,000 Pinchot enforcement fund. This fund is rapidly growing but there is a great deal yet to be raised. The corres- ponding ' secretary’s report was very interesting. State College is the ban- ner Union, having attained the stand- ard of excellence set by the State, and gaining over fifty new members. Bellefonte, Philipsburg, Unionville, and the other Unions showed much good work done. Seven new Unions have been organized in the past year, with several hundred new members. The treasurer’s report showed a very comfortable balance in the treasury. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: President, Miss Rebecca N. Rhoads, Bellefonte. ..Vice President, Mrs. Frank Fisher, Centre Hall. ; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Nan nie F. Williams, Fleming. Recording Secretary, Mrs. V. C. Ridge, Blanchard. College.

About sixty school teachers from Bellefonte and contiguous territory accepted the Bellefonte Trust compa- ny’s invitation to lunch at the Brock- erhoff house, on Saturday, which was only incidental to a presentation of the question of thrift by bank officials. The object of the meeting was to in- duce the teachers to introduce the sav- which do not have it, and a full expla- nation of how it should be done was made by Nelson E. Robb, secretary and treasurer of the Bellefonte Trust Co., while Col. J. L. Spangler, presi- : dent of the company, gave a splendid talk on thrift, making some rather in- teresting ‘comparisons. U.

Off Lamp At noon on Tuesday three women from Huntingdon, on their way to Milesburg to attend the annual meet- ing of the Centre Baptist association, became confused as to which way to go when they reached the intersection of Allegheny and Linn street, and in- stead of stopping to inquire the way the driver of the car called to a man passing by and asked the way to Milesburg. Being directed to turn west on Linn street she attempted to : make a short turn, ran into the lamp post standing on the corner at the Col. Reynolds residence, and broke it off j at the pavement. The women were | taken into the Reynolds home but for- _ tunately all escaped with a few bruis- es and one or two slight abrasions from being thrown against the side | of the car. The car was more or less ‘damaged. | Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. Notes. The four bowling alleys at the Y. M. C.

Refused Services of Counsel and Con- ducted Own Case. Edward Fiddell, the alleged Chica- go gunman ‘who escaped from the western penitentiary in June and after being ‘caught and brought back figured in a sensational attempt to break out of the Centre county jail, did not cut much of a figure in con- ducting his own case when called be- fore Judge Quigley for trial on Wed- nesday afternoon. Fiddell ‘was i indicted on three counts, breaking and escaping from the western penitentiary, assault and battery and felonious assault, and at- tempted escape from the Centre coun- ty jail.’ To the first indictment he plead not guilty and elected to be tried by a jury. He also declined the services of counsel and said he would conduct his own case. The only two witnesses heard for the Common- wealth were deputy warden Fred Hea- ly and guard Harry Whiteman, who told of Fiddell’s escape on June 17th and his capture in Chicago about ten days later. Fiddell was given an op- portunity to testify in his own behalf and attempted to justify his escape on the grounds that the food served was not adequate. The court ruled that that was not evidence and asked Fiddell to tell the jury whether he did or did not escape and he admit- ted he did. The court then instructed the jury to return a verdict of guilty without leaving the box. To the other two counts the prison- er also plead not guilty but waived a trial by jury and said he would leave it up to ' the court. Sheriff Harry Dukeman told of the attempted jail delivery on-August 2nd and the part taken in it by Fiddell, his story being supported by the testimony of George Tarbay, one of the trusties who kept Fiddell and Price from escaping until Mrs. Dukeman locked the jail door. Fiddell had no story to tell in his own behalf and Judge Quigley, after tell- ing him that his only regret was that the law fixed the penalty in such cases sentenced him to serve from two and a half to five years in the western pen- itentiary for breaking and escaping from the western penitentiary; from three and a half to seven years for assault and battery and felonious as- sault and from two and a half to five years for attempted escape from the Centre county jail. Inasmuch as he still has four years to serve of his | original sentence, if he is compelled ‘to serve the maximum sentences he will not get out until 1944. ! Fiddell was taken back:to Rock- view to spend the night in the death house and yesterday morning sheriff Harry Dukeman took him to the old penitentiary at Pittsburgh. The regular session of court con- vened on Monday morning when T. H. Harter was appointed foreman of the grand jury. The list of cases sched- uled for trial was gone over, quite a number of which were settled and others continued. The cases tried in- cluded the following: , Commonwealth vs. Martin Oscara charged with manufacturing and sell- ing intoxicating liquor. Defendant waived the finding of the grand jury and plead guilty, being sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and serve six months in the Centre county jail. Commonwealth vs. Patrick Dono- hue, driving an automobile while in- toxicated. Sentence was suspended upon the payment of the costs and de- fendant’s automobile was placed in the custody of the chief of police of State College. In a similar case against John Sharp the defendant was sentenced tc pay the costs and a fine of $500 to be realized from the sale of his car. In the case of the Commonwealth vs. A. C. Leathers, J. T. Leathers and Walter B. Mason, charged with con- spiracy by C. C. McKinney, the Com- monwealth was unable to produce suf- ficient evidence to convict and the court directed a verdict of not guilty but the defendants to pay the costs. A second case against the Leathers Bros. was nolle prossed, the defend- ants to pay the costs. Rufus Corman plead guilty to the charge of larceny and was sent to jail for nine months. The case of John M. Keichline against the Gardner heirs was on trial as this paper went to press.
