Pinchot’s Raiding Constabs Round Up
Centre County Bootleggers.
Twelve state policemen from Lan-
caster, representing the pick of Gov-
ernor Pinchot’s raiding squads, under
command of captain Stout, swooped
down on Centre county on Saturday
night and arrested three men on the
‘charge of bootlegging and manufac-
turing moonshine. .
Those arrested include John Halde-
man, of near Bellefonte, who was
‘caught with about five quarts of
moonshine in his ‘possession; Paul
Gasper and Enro Pachicko, of the
Cherry Run mine section, in Snow
Shoe township, where two stills, of
thirty-five and ten gallon capacity,
and about seven gallons of moonshine
were also confiscated. The men, the
stills and the moonshine were all
brought to the Centre county jai, but
Haldeman was later released on bail.
Evidence against the above parties,
it is alleged, had been obtained by
two state police in plain clothes, who
had been in Bellefonte and the Snow
Shoe region for several days prior to
the raid. Having made their captures
and landed their prisoners and evi-
dence in jail the raiding party return-
ed to Lancaster on Sunday.
MORE ARRESTS ON TUESDAY.
Following close upon Saturday
night’s bootlegging raid three more
arrests were made on Tuesday. They
included Fred Meyers and Jeff
Tearney, of Bellefonte, and William
Musser, of Penn’s Cave. At the
Musser home, it is said, five barrels of
wine were found and confiscated, a
big truck in Bellefonte having been
commandeered to haul the stuff to
Bellefonte. So far as can be learned
no liquor was found in the possession
of Meyers or Tearney, their arrest be-
ing made on evidence gathered in the
past several weeks by a plain clothes
agent of the A=partment of justice
who, according to reports, has been in
Bellefonte for some days hobnobbing
with many of the “favorite bootleg-
gers” in town. All the men gave
bail for their appearance where and
when desired.
“The Bat” Coming to Garman’s Next
Tuesday Night.
Wagenhals and Kemper’s produc-
tion of “The Bat,” by Mary Roberts
Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, will be
seen at the opera house on Tuesday
night, October 23rd, as part of its
third triumphant tour of the country.
“The Bat” is beyond question the
world’s greatest mystery play. It
was the forerunner of more than a
score of mystery plays that have
sought to trade on its enormous pop-
ularity. And not one has been able
to prove itself a worthy rival to the
honors that have been bestowed by
the theatre-going public on “The
Bat.”
“The Bat” comes here with a rec-
ord that no other play of any type
was ever able to equal. It ran for
more than two years in New York;
for more than a year in Chicago; for
entire seasons in London, Boston and
Philadelphia. In every city of the
United States and foreign countries
where it has been presented, it holds
the record for total attendance and
gross box office receipts.
On its present tour of the country
“The Bat” is presented in exactly the
manner in which it was seen during
its long engagements in the cities.
The production itself—the scenery
and costumes are new, and the cast
includes the stars and Broadway fa-
vorites previously seen in the play.
The coming of “The Bat” is the out-
standing feature of the local theatric-
al season. Prices, 50 cents to $2.00,
plus tax. Seats now selling at Mott |:

Held in Philipsburg.
The Centre county conference of
women’s clubs will be held in Philips-

first session te be called to order at
10:30 a. m.
All who are interested, or would
like to become interested, in any or
all of the activities in which women
are so conspicuous and efficient, are
urged to attend this meeting. The
reports must necessarily be limited to
five minutes each, but much can be
told in that time to stimulate efforts
for bigger achievements. The reports
will be followed by discussions. Mrs.
Olmstead, who will be present, is no
stranger to Centre county people, and
is a most pleasing and inspiring
speaker.
Kindly communicate with Mrs. R.
S. Brouse at an early date relative to
making the trip so she can perfect her
plans. Box luncheon.
Escaped Prisoner Recaptured.
Thomas Provance, one of the six
prisoners who escaped from the west-
ern penitentiary at Rockview on the
morning of June 19th, by sawing two
bars out of one window, was captured
at Lock Haven on Saturday and
brought back to the Centre county
jail. Provance was sent to the peni-
tentiary from Clinton county for not
less than three nor more than six
years. For some time past reports
have been current that he had been in
hiding in the neighborhood of Lock
Haven und officers had been keeping
a close watch for him. It was not un-
til Saturday, however, that his where-
abouts were discovered and he was
promptly arrested and brought to
Bellefonte. All told eight men es-
caped from the penitentiary within
two days during the month of June,
and four of them have now been re-
captured and arc once again behind
barred doors.

Presbyterian Women Meet at Union-
ville.
District 4 of the Woman’s Mission-
ary society of the Huntingdon Pres-
bytery held an all-day meeting at Un-
ionville, on Wednesday of this week.
A box luncheon was taken at noon
with coffee served by the hostess so-
ciety. Mrs. H. H. Stiles and Mrs.
Travis, from Altoona; Mrs. Ewing
and ‘Mrs. Norman Bowers, from Lew-
istown, were the speakers.
The meeting was interesting, in-
spirational and much enjoyed by the
women who attended from Snow Shoe,
Howard and Bellefonte.
Potato Supper at Y. M. C. A. Next
Thursday Evening.
The big potato show by the mem-
bers of the boys’ potato clubs of Cen-
tre county will be held at the court
house next Thursday afternoon in
connection with the teachers’ insti-
tute, which will be held next week,
and on Thursday evening the young
potato growers will be entertained
with a potato supper at the Y. M. C.
A. We have not been informed as to
the way the potatoes will be served
but presume they will be dished up
in various ways. Preparations will
be made to entertain two hundred or
more guests.
High School vs. Mt. Union Today.
While football fans have their eyes
on State College tomorrow for the
Navy-State game the fact must not
be overlooked that an interesting
gridiron contest will take place on
Hughes field this (Friday) afternoon,
when the Bellefonte High school elev-
en will play the Mount Union High
school team. Bellefonte High has
been playing wonderful football so
far this season, defeating the strong
Cooper township (Clearfield county)
team last Saturday by the score of 32
to 6, and the game today will be one
well worth seeing. Every football
fan in the town should go out and root
for the home team.
Harvest Queen Contest Growing in
Interest.
The contest for the Harvest Queen
of the Elk’s big Hallow-een carnival
is beginning to excite considerable in-
terest from the fact that State Col-
lege has put forth a candidate in the
person of Miss Elizabeth Miller, a
popular High school girl of that place.
The two leading contestants in Belle-
fonte are Misses Mauvis Furey and
Margaret Mignot, and while they still
lead Miss State College, there . is
abundant opportunity to develop one
of the most interesting contests that
has ever been held. The standing of
the three ladies in yesterday’s count
was as follows:
, Mauvis Furey - - - - 3735
Margaret Mignot - - - 3490
Elizabeth Miller - - - 2090
Inasmuch as the contest has almost
two weeks yet to run there is ample
time for entries from other towns in
the county.
Preparations for the big carnival
are moving along smoothly and every
organization intending to take part
should report as early as possible to
Capt. W. H. Brown, who will be chief
marshall of the parade.
The Coming of Ruth.
The musical drama “The Coming
which was presented at
Garman’s Monday and Tuesday even-
ings, under the auspices of the W. C.
T. U., and the direction of Dr. W. T,
Noss, of Philadelphia, proved to be a
far more finished entertainment both
from the action and singing than was
anticipated.
Very large audiences greeted both
performances so that the hospital is
likely to be the beneficiary to the ex-
tent of $329.66 at least.
All of the leads were well taken;
the voices being admirably adapted
for the. roles they sang and the cho-
rus work in the ensembles was full
and harmonious. x
Miss Celia Moerschbacher, Mrs.
Charles E. Garbrick, Mrs. M. R. Kra-
der, Mrs. Robert Walker, Mrs. R.
Russell Blair, Miss Elizabeth Hoag
and Miss Margaret Hassinger with R.
Russell Blair, Millard Hartswick, Ce-
‘cil Walker and James Y. Seig carried
the solo parts and the leads with their
accustomed finish and splendid inter-
pretation.
It was indeed, a very pleasing per-
formance. So different from the friv-
olous productions that have been so
popular in recent years that every one
seemed to enjoy the change im-
mensely.
In the general expression of grati-
tude for assistance in the production
the ladies of the W. C. T. U. wish to
include, specially, Manager Brown,
who gave the opera house for both
the rehearsals and the performances
without any charge at all.
The drama will be presented again
at Garman’s n~xt 2londay night.
One Man Killed in Auto Accident on
Sunday.
One man killed, several injured and
half a dozen wrecked cars was the toll
of auto accidents on the state high-
ways between Bellefonte and Lock
Haven and Bellefonte and State Col-
lege on Sunday. Inasmuch as ninety-
nine per cent. of all such accidents are
the result of carelessness, fast driv-
ing or intoxica‘ion those interested,
especially the drivers and owners of
machines, shun publicity and evade
giving their names to the public, so
that a wrecked machine is all that is
left to tell the taley, vr
The fatal accident occurred shortly
after two o'clock on Sunday afternoon
at a sharp curve in the road just be-
low Snydertown. Five Italians in an
Overland Red Bird car were coming
toward Bellefonte from Lock Haven
and according to reports of people in
Nittany who saw the car pass, were
driving the machine at top speed.
The driver of the car failed to make
the turn at the sharp curve and crash-
ed into a tree standing by the side of
the road, completely wrecking the car.
One man, whose name could not be
learned was killed outright, one es-
caped injury and three, Mike Krot,
Pete Bolinec and Pete Varembo, were
taken to the Lock Haven hospital.
Krot was only slightly hurt and after
being treated at the dispensary was
able to leave. The other two men are
not seriously injured. A quart jar
of moonshine was found at the
wrecked car, and that was about the
only thing that wasn’t smashed.
State College Expects Big Crowd for
Navy-State Game Tomorrow.
State College has made prepara-
tions to entertain the largest crowd
tomorrow that ever gathered there to
witness a sporting event of any char-
acter, the occasion being the Navy-
Penn State football game. The big
stands have a seating capacity of sev-
enteen thousand and most of the tick-
ets have already been allotted and
sold. Four hundred seats have been
reserved for midshipmen and digni-
taries from Washington who are ex-
pected to attend the game. The Na-
vy defeated State last year and the
Nittany lions will attempt to turn the
trick this season.
While State has developed strength
with each week her work against Get-
tysburg last Saturday, when she won
by’ the score of 20 to 0, was not as
strong as it might have been. The
Navy team is composed of mostly old
players, only two new men being on
the lineup. Their playing so far this
season has been consistently strong,
and there is every reason to believe
they will play a hard game tomorrow.
All in all, it is sure to be a thrilling
gridiron contest and it being the Na-
vy’s first appearance at State is the
magnet for drawing a large crowd.
Bellefonte and Tyrone hotels, as
well as the Spruce Creek, Fairbrook
and Nittany Country club are already
booked to the limit for accommoda-
tions Friday and Saturday nights and
every available place wherewith to
lay a head has been taken in State
College.
Sousa’s Band at State College.
John Philip Sousa and his band
visited Centre county for the first
time last Thursday night when they
gave two concerts at State College.
The great auditorium that stands as a
memorial to the public service of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles M. Schwab, was
crowded for both the afternoon and
evening performance of America’s
foremost band master and his eighty-
five musicians.
Always we have thought that a con-
tributing factor—and a large one—
to Sousa’s popularity—is his pro-
gram. With a band capable of inter-
preting the heaviest compositions,
both as to full instrumentation and
the technique of the performers he
has always sought to appeal to the
relative tastes of his audiences by se-
lections comprehensible to them.
At State College this was the case
and almost we are constrained to say
that “It is to laugh,” that in that de-
veloping centre of musical culture
“Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Sheen” and
“No Bananas Today” got uproarious
encore after encore whereas the real-
ly worth while music was received
with restrained enthusiasm.
Of course a Sousa concert is always
a treat but the singing of Miss Nora
Fouchald, soprano; the violin offer-
ing of Miss Rachel Senior; the xylo-
phone solos of George Carey and the
cornet solo of John Dolan were all
stellar interpolations that contributed
to the diversity and pleasure of the
program.
Winter Lyceum Course.
A series of six entertainments of
high class will be presented to the
people of Bellefonte this winter, the
course being put on by the National
Lyceum system and is endorsed and
underwritten by a strong committee
of citizens interested in producing the
best in the line of entertainment for
the community.
The opening number will be given
on Thursday evening, November 15th,
when the National male quartette,
vocal and instrumental artists with a
national reputation, will present a fine
musical program.
The other numbers in the course
will be the Philippine quartette, De-
cember 12th; Julian B. Arnold, lectur-
er, January 5th; Elias Day Players in
“Happiness,” January 15th; the Gip-
sy Quintette, February 27th, and
the National Trio in dramatic sketch-
es as a closing number on March 17th.
Mark these dates in your calendar,
buy a ticket and help provide the
kind of entertainment that helps and

however, will be spent with friends in
Harrisburg, where they expect to .stop en
route home. :
—Mrs. H. 8S. Cooper is planning to leave
within a few days for New York, where
she will make a short visit before return-
‘ing South. Mrs. Cooper has been in Belle-
fonte for four months, with her aunts, the
Misses Benner, and will leave for her
home in Dallas, Texas, that she may reach
there by the first of November.
—The bridge club, of which Mrs. James
Herron was a member during her resi-
dence in Bellefonte, was entertained by her
yesterday afternoon, at the superintend-
ent’s residence at the Huntingdon reform-
atory. The twelve women, who are its
present members, motored over for lunch-
eon and spent the afternoon at cards.
—Mrs. Charles Gilmour returned home
Monday, from a two week’s visit in Phila-
delphia and Atlantic City. At the former
place she was with her daughter, Miss Mar-
garet, while at the latter she was a guest
of her cousin, Miss Humes, who with Miss
Sadie Caldwell, had been spending a part
of the month of October at the Shore.
—Mrs. John B. Miller, of Hublersburg,
was among the temperance enthusiasts
from over the county in town the early
part of the week for the organization's
hospital benefit, “The Coming of Ruth,”
which was staged here with such great
success, Monday and Tuesday nights.
During her visit in Bellefonte Mrs. Miller
was a guest of Mrs. Martin Haines, of
Curtin street.
—Mr. and Mrs. Lief A. Olsen and chil-
dren and Mr. W. C. Coxey motored to
York, last Saturday to visit Mr. and Mrs.
H. A. Tarbert. Mr. Olsen and Mr. Coxey
returned home on Monday while Mrs. Ol-
sen and children will remain for two weeks
when Mr. Olsen will motor down and
bring them home. Miss Dorothy Coxey,
who has been with her sister for some
time, will also return at that time.
—Mr. and Mrs. William C. Cassidy en-
tertained a driving party Tuesday and
Tuesday night, composed of members of
Mr. Cassidy’s immediate family. In the
party were his three sisters, Mrs. Leonard
Betz, Mrs. L. E. Sober and Mr. and Mrs.
James A. Welker, who left Canton Satur-
day for a visit to Newry, Blair county, the
home of their ancestors, and for the over-

—Mr. and Mrs. Frank Williams, of Al-
toona, were Sunday visitors with friends
in town. Frank is still reminiscent of
their recent tour of Colorado where they
spent several weeks in mountain eclimb-
ing and loafing about the resorts of that
land of wonderfully blue skies and red-
brown landscapes. Their son Carol, who
was only seven years old when they mov-
ed from here, was with them. We could

run between Altoona and Pittsburgh.
—Mrs. Harvey A. Dornblazer, of Penn-
‘field, with Miss Schmidt, of Philipsburg,

come over to spend the day here looking
after some business matters both are in-
terested in. Mrs. Dornblazer is a daugh-
ter of the late John Long, of Philipsburg,
and has been back at her former home for
a visit. It would scarcely be expected that
a daughter of such an ardent Democrat as
Mr. Long was could remain inactive espe-
cially after the women were emancipated.
Living in the suburbs of Philadelphia
where her husband is identified with the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co., evidently
she saw. the rich field her environment af-
forded for organization and missionary
work. She was accordingly one of the or-
iginators and organizers of the woman's
Democratic club of that city and has play-
ed no small part in keeping it from infec-
tion of the taint of the men’s organization
down there.
- —Mrs. Elva Johnston, of Gatesburg, with
her daughters, Sara, Edith and Violet, and
her son Earl at the wheel of their motor,
spent Saturday afternoon in the Bellefonte
shops. Mrs. Johnston's brother, Ira
Harpster, was a guest of the party, and
while the ladies busied themselves looking
over fall apparel Ira dropped in at this

—Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Tate and Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Gelhaus and dalghter Betty re-
turned home last Friday from a two week's
motor trip through Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, and the male members of the party,
especially Mr. Tate, had some interesting
experiences. The ladies had gone west
some five weeks ago, Mrs. Tate to visit her
sister at Red Lake, Wis., and Mrs. Gel-
haus to visit her parents at Medford, Wis.
The two men, in Mr. Tate's car, made the
trip by motor, leaving Bellefonte on Sep-
tember 30th. During Mr. Tate's visit at
Red Lake he accompanied some friends on
‘a hunting expedition into the high timber
lands of that State, the party being suc-
cessful in bagging twenty pheasants and
five large wild ducks. They also saw a
large timber wolf but as neither of the
hunters had a rifle the animal got away.
Mr. Tate visited a fox farm, where he saw
three hundred silver and black foxes, the
pelts of which sell for from $200 to $300
each. In making the trip they covered
2,300 miles and had good weather all the
time. The roads were in splendid condi-
tion with the exception of Indiana, where
bad roads were encountered and the rout-
ings poorly marked. The trip was made | Barley » - - - - .
