ager T. Clayton Brown is making
good on his promise to give the peo-

becoming a patron. >

Paddy Mountain was entirely destroy-
ed by fire on the night of September
6th. The cabin, which was quite
large, contained considerable furni-
ture that had been crated and ready
to move, all of which was either to-
tally destroyed or so badly burned
that it is beyond repair. As no one

is that it was set on fire.

now located in Johnstown, was in
Belleionte over the week end making
sale of his household goods and prop-
erty on Bishop street. The house was
purchased by Arthur Houck, an em-
ployee at the Decker Bros. garage, for
the sum of $4,500. Mr. Good is now
in the employ of the Armstrong Cork

an offer to go to Argentine in the in-
#erest of that firm.
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. How the animal got there is
not known as all the doors were shut
that day. Little difficulty was exper-
denced in catching the rabbit and it
‘was later turned loose in the adjoin-
ing woodlands.
——Coach Hugo Bezdek’s 1923
football machine will be put in ac-
tion tomorrow afternoon on Beaver
field, State College, when they will
open the season with the Lebanon
Valley college eleven as their oppo-
ments. While the State squad has
been in training the past three weeks
or more very few particulars have
leaked out as to the progress the men
have been making or who are the
most promising candidates, so that
the team, so far as the general pub-
lic is concerned, is an unknown quan-
tity. 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.

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.

* The evening program was delight-
fully interspersed with music from
the best talent of Centre Hall, and
closed with a reception and social in
the Sunday school room, when deli-
cious refreshments were served. 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-

The women of the Presbyterian
church served delicious meals for the
convention. - The meeting closed by
all joining hands and singing “Blest
be the Tie that Binds,” with the ben-
ediction by Rev. Bingman.
School Teachers Lunch and Hear Ar-
guments on Thrift.
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.

Woman Driver Knocks
Post.
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.

FIDDELL GETS LONG SENTENCE.
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.
Academy Football To-morrow.
“Doc” Pritchard, of Ravenna, Ohio,
the giant tackle who played on the
Academy team two years ago, return-
ed to the Mountain school this week,
and reported immediately for football
practice. Mr. Pritchard is in good
condition. He is six feet three inches
tall, and weighs two hundred and fif-
teen pounds of good, solid sinew. The
Bellefonte line is husky, with Cutler
and Guarino on ends, Mosko and
Breen on tackle, Beck and Blackburn
‘at guard and DiMeolo at center. The
average is close to one hundred and
eighty-five pounds and the return of
Pritchard will give it more weight.
The football fans of this commun-
ity will have a rare treat when they
see coach Snavely’s proteges in action
to-morrow afternoon on Hughes field
against the team of football stars
from Williamsport. The game will
be called at three o’clock, sharp.

| Ku Kluxers Getting Busy in Centre
County. ; ;
A Ku Klux Klan organizer was in
Centre county this week and reports
have reached Bellefonte from’ several
sections that efforts dre being made
toward the organization ‘of Klans.
Several weeks ago the “Watchman”
told of the burning of a big fiery cross
on Halfmoon hill, and several weeks
previous it was reported that Miles-
burg citizens had witnessed the burn-
ing of a cross in that locality. Aside
from these public demonstrations
there is no definite knowledge of any
undue activity on the part of the Ku
Kluxers in Centre county. Just what
the result will be in the future re-
mains to be seen.
An official organizer for the Klan
