Auspices International Bible students’ association. Notwithstanding the fact that the evenings are growing noticeably shorter they are still long enough to enjoy an hour or two watching the motion pictures at the Scenic. Melo- drama, comedy and current events make up the various programs so that there is ample variation to suit the tastes of everybody. In fact, few places in Pennsylvania offer a better evening’s entertainment than the Scenic, and that’s why you should be a regular attendant. —If this kind of weather contin- ues much longer it will be hard on the birds and Kansas rabbits brought here during the winter for propaga- tion purposes. The snow in the moun- tains is from fifteen to eighteen inch- es in depth, which makes it almost impossible for pheasants and wild turkeys to find anything to eat. Hence it would be the right thing for sports- men and farmers to play the part of the good samaritan and put out some feed at places where the birds and rabbits are most likely to find it. '——The management of the Belle- fonte armory has adopted a new rul- ing which will go into effect this even- ing, on the occasion of the big foot- ball dance of the Bellefonte Academy. It is to the effect that no persons will be permitted to enter the lobby with- out presenting a ticket at the outer door. Heretofore tickets were lifted at the inner door and the lobby was invariably crowded with persons who were not ticket holders to the discom- fort of those in attendance at the dance. The new ruling, which will be enforced at all dances hereafter, will prevent making the lobby a public gathering place. Ey -ea.l. . d i se ————— | General Jail Delivery Frustrated by COURT DOLES OUT SOME SALTY SENTENCES. Three Sent to Penitentiary and One to Jail. Other Court Proceedings. Not since the famous murder trial lof Alfred Andrew has the Centre county court room been so crowded as it has been this week, most of those in attendance having been drawn there through morbid curiosity to witness the outcome of several cases of questionable character. It was district attorney Arthur C. Dale’s first regular session of court, and the gen- eral opinion is that he handled his cases very well. At the opening of court on Monday morning George H. Yarnell was ap- pointed foreman of the grand jury. Following the customary reports of constables and the disposition of var- ious motions and petitions the civil list was gone over and a number of cases continued for various reasons. The first Commonwealth case dis- posed of was that against James E. Allen, charged with forgery. He waived the finding of the grand jury and entered a plea of guilty, the court suspending Sentence upon the pay- ment of costs and restitution. Commonwealth ex-relations W. Harrison Walker guardian for Ruth N. and Frank A. Hubler, vs. Ellen E. Bower and John J. Bower, Admrs., being an action to revive a judgment; verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $4942.56. J. Irvin Wagner vs. James Leath- ers, an action in trespass; verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $200. W. H. Sortman vs. Charles O. Wal- ters, an action for damages for tres- pass. Verdict in favor of the plain- tiff for $25. In the case of Commonwealth vs. W. R. Quick, charged with adu'tery, etc., the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. This was the case from Snow Shoe that was the cause of so many bitter charges and counter charges last fall. Commonwealth vs. Thomas Smeal, adultery. Verdict of guilty and sen- tenced to pay a fine of $500 and serve one year in the county jail. Considerable interest was attached to the case of the Commonwealth vs. George P. Gable, an ex-convict, charged with impersonating a State welfare officer. Gable, who hails from McKean county, served time in the western penitentiary for forgery and some time after his discharge, or on January 7th, he came to Bellefonte and posing as a State welfare officer, stated that he came here to investi- gate the fires that had occurred dur- ing the past year at the Rockview in- stitution. He even made so bold as to write Governor Pinchot and State welfare officials in Harrisburg. The result was Major Simpson was sent here to investigate the man’s conduct ' and finding him an impostor had him arrested. He was convicted and sent to the penitentiary for from one to two years. Commonwealth vs. Wayne Cobb, an escaped Florida convict, was convict- ed of robbing fraternity houses at State College and was sentenced to the penitentiary for not less than five years nor more than ten, and at the expiration of his sentence he is to be sent back to Florida to complete his sentence there. Another interesting case was that of the Commonwealth vs. Frank Cam- pos, the Spaniard who escaped from the Rockview penitentiary on Janu- ary 23rd and sawed his way out of the Centre county jail last Saturday evening. He was convicted on both charges and the court sentenced him to serve out his old term at the pen- itentiary and from five to ten years for escaping from Rockview and five to ten years for sawing his way out of the county jail, a total of approx- imately twenty-two years. The case which attracted the most attention during the week was that of “Doe” Leslie Jacobs, of Centre Hall, charged with a eriminal opera- tion on a young girl. The testimony was of a nature better left unpublish- ed, but just before the “Watchman” went to press yesterday afternoon the jury returned a verdict of guilty. His attorneys promptly made a motion for a new trial and the court announced that pending the disposition of the motion Mr. Jacobs would be held in the custody of the sheriff, unless he could furnish bail in the sum of twen- ty thousand dollars. When his attor- neys considered the question of rais- ing such a large bail bond they con- sulted with their client then withdrew the application for a new trial and the court promptly disposed of the case by sentencing Mr. Jacobs to pay a fine of five hundred dollars and un- dergo imprisonment in the western penitentiary for not less than eigh- teen months nor more than 3 years. Hotel Range Blows Up at Philipsburg. Between eight and nine o’clock on Sunday morning Kondrat Juscik, landlord of the Ramsdale house, in Philipsburg, went into the kitchen and started the fire in the big range. A few minutes later there was a ter- rific explosion which painfully injur- ed the landlord and almost complete- ly wrecked the kitchen. The cold weather of the night previous had frozen the water pipe connected with the range which was the cause of the explosion. Juscik was hit on the neck by a chunk of burning coal and painfully burned. Pieces of the range hit him on the legs and lower part of the body inflicting numerous lacerations and bruises, while his clothing was com- pletely ruined. The kitchen looked as if it had been struck by a cyclone. The big range was reduced to junk, the windows were broken and doors t jammed. : Sheriff Taylor. ! Sheriff “Dick” Taylor had his first experience, on Saturday night, with an attempt at general jail delivery in which one prisoner got outside the jail but the sheriff beat him in a foot ' race and landed him safe in one of the steel cells, though he was pretty well exhausted in the tussle. The man who escaped “was Frank Campos, a Spanish Mexican from Erie | county, awaiting trial for escaping from the Rockview penitentiary about the middle of January. Campos got out by sawing off two of the seven- eighth inch iron bars in the small win- dows along-side of the main door leading from the sheriff’s residence into the jail. Both bars were sawed off at the top and bottom, so that the work must have been done at differ- ent periods during the day when the sheriff and his family were busy and failed to hear the men at work. It was in the neighborhood of eight o'clock when the work was completed and Campos crawled through. To get outside, however, he had to pass through the sheriff’s residence, or go through the small hallway past the office and out the side door. It just happened that Mrs. Taylor was in the big pantry next the kitch- en, with the door open, and she saw the Mexican in his attempt to sneak out unnoticed. She promptly called “Dick,” who was in his office, and Campos just as quickly ran through the main hall and out the front door. Hatless and coatless the sheriff fol- lowed and it was a foot race down jail hill with the sheriff gaining at every jump. Above the court house Cam- pos ran out into the street and just opposite the Garman house he slipped on the ice and fell just as the sheriff was about to grab him. The result was the sheriff fell on top of him and the two men had quite a lively tussle in the snow. Chief of police Harry Dukeman was standing on the corner at the Belle- fonte Trust company and he quickly went to the sheriff’s assistance with the result that Campos promptly sub- sided and was taken back to jail and locked in a steel cell. When search- ed three small, fine saws were found upon him, and how he got them is a mystery. The sheriff, naturally, has his suspicions and believes some of the other prisoners are implicated, and had Campos gotten outside the jail without being discovered others would have also made the attempt. Kiwanis Club Permanently Organ- ized in Bellefonte. At a dinner held at the Brockerhoff house, on Monday evening, the Kiwa- nis club, of Bellefonte, was perma- nently organized with the election of the following officers: President, Rev. Wilson P. Ard; vice president, Frank M. Crawford; ‘secretary, ‘John "B. Payne; treasurer, Harry A. Rossman; board of directors, the above officers and George Hazel, W. J. Emerick, John M. Bullock, Father Downes, Ed- ward R. Owens and G. Oscar Gray. The club starts off on its career with fifty-five members and adhering to the high ideals of the Kiwanis In- ternational should prove one of the best organizations in Bellefonte. It is the only organization known that does not countenance any drones in its hive or high privates in the rear ranks. Every member is placed upon a working committee of some charac- ter and it will be up to each individ- ual to show results. The object of the club is to boom the city or town in which it is located and at the same time cultivate a spirit of co-operation among all its members. Let us all hope that the Kiwanis will prove a good thing for Bellefonte and vi- cinity. ; Old Age Pension Board Appointed. At the last session of the Legisla- ture an act was passed providing for pensions for the aged and infirm and on Wednesday the county commission- ers appointed the following: Mrs. R. S. Brouse, Bellefonte; Mrs. Annie Fisher, Centre Hall, and Mrs. Rebec- ca C. Tuten, of Philipsburg, as mem- bers of the old age pension board for Centre county. According to the pro- visions of the act applicants for a pension must have attained the age of seventy years or more and be without any means of subsistence. The max- imum allotment stipulated is one dol- lar per day, but as the act providing for the system carried an appropria- tion of only $25,000 very little, if any, money is available to pay pensions at the present time, and the perpetuity of the act will depend to a great ex- tent on the amount of money appro- priated by the next Legislature. Y. M. C. A. Basket Ball. On Wednesday, March 5th, the Pi Kappa Alpha team from State Col- lege will play a return engagement with the Y senior team in the gym- nasium.

The Wonderful Screen Portrayal of Pioneer Life in America Com- ing to the Opera House i March 7th. All great American dramas of semi- historical origin seem to hit the times just at the right period and no fuller illustration of this can be shown than the phenomenal success of “The Cov- ered Wagon,” which comes to the Bellefonte opera house for a special engagement of matinee and night, Friday, March 7th. This story is the picturization of the great Saturday Evening Post ser- ial of the same title by Emerson Hough, which is now in its sixth edi- ! NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Among Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Foreman's house guests this week was Mrs. W. M. Way, of Altoona. —Miss Violet Clements, a nurse of the Altoona General hospital, was home over Sunday on a short vacation. —Fred Johnson left Bellefonte early in : the week for Charleston, South Carolina, to visit his brother Claude and wife. —G.

At the 1924 football dance to be given at the armory tonight the presence of the Gypsy Girls Quintet, as guests of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Hughes, will be a feature of the even- ing. Several dance numbers rendered by them will be added to the pro- gram, increasing greatly its attrac- tion. Mrs. R. L.

Emerson Hough, as every one fa- miliar with his works knows, was one of the foremost writers of the west and he said just before his death that ! he had reached the height of his dreams when he witnessed the screen ; success of his greatest endeavor. The timeliness of his theme in this partic- ular is that it made its appearance ! when the country was satiated with | war alarms and the radicalism which came in the back-wash of the war. Contrasted with that ill timed move- ment of aggression, the story of how these men and women of great cour- age and high resolution set forth up- on their perilous trip of 2,000 miles across the uncharted plains and desert is inspiring. In the covered wagons drawn by oxen and reeling off an av- erage of twelve miles a day they laughed and sang, and loved and suf- fered and fought to build what is now the great western heart of this great- est of all countries. Its appeal is the personal one of courage to do and hearts to serve that an unknown land might be opened up and the rich stream of wealth come pouring forth each year in crops that reach to the ends of the world. There is ro- mance and adventure in every for- ward move of the winding trains as they trek onward and onward toward the end of the trail and the golden west which was no mere rainbow or chimera but something that will live forever in our minds and hearts. The production has been success- fully presented in all the principal cities of the country and in London and Paris. A symphony orchestra of twenty artists will play the score managed by Hugo Reisenfeld for “The Covered Wagon.” Centre County Auto Show Will be Attractive Exhibition. ‘Gideon Payne, manager of the Cen- tre county automobile show, which will be held in the armory, Bellefonte, March 12th to 15th, announces that fifteen exhibitors have taken space and twenty-five makes of cars with forty-eight different types of body will be shown.
