Ellis L. Orvis was called out of town that day the hear- ing was continued until a later date. The advance agent for the Sam Spencer shows was in Bellefonte this week making arrangements for a week’s stand here beginning next Monday. The shows will be held on the Witmer lot on east Bishop street, adjoining Hughes field. It is also re- ported that the Harry Copping shows will be in Bellefonte in the near fu- ture for a week’s stand.

English, of Pine Grove Mills, being elected president of the conference and Rev. F. H. Daubenspeck, of Aaronsburg, treasurer. Among the speakers were Dr. C. T. Aikens, of Selinsgrove, and Dr. W. M.

During the past year or more Edward L. Gates, a for- mer Bellefonte newspaper man, had been telegraph editor on the Ledger “and two days after that paper ceased to function he went to work in a sim- ilar capacity for the Democrat. ——A very pitiable case in Belle- fonte is that of eleven year old Mary Bowersox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bowersox, who has been housed up the past two months with a most severe attack of rheumatism. At first her legs were so badly affected that she could hardly walk and now it is her hands that trouble her most. She suffers considerable pain and can hardly sleep at night, but her parents hope that when the weather becomes settled she will improve more rapidly. ——The arrival in Bellefonte early in the week of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shaughnessy Jr., of Philadelphia, was the first intimation most of his friends had that he had become a benedict, though he is now almost in the class of “an old married man,” as his wed- ding dates back to the first of last December. His bride prior to her marriage was Miss Marion Wilt, of Mill Hall, but who for several years past has been teaching school in Phil- adelphia, and it was this faét that led the young couple to keep their mar- riage a secret until quite recently. ——On Monday evening Jerry Ow- ens motored in Pine street and just as he turned the crest of the hill to make the turn down Spring street he discovered that he had lost his starter crank. Stopping the car he jumped out and ran back to hunt the crank. While thus engaged the car started down grade, and with nobody to steer it, ran onto the James I. McClure property, knocking down the fence, breaking off a small horse chestnut tree and wrecking a flower bed. Mr. Owens secured the Chemical Lime company bus to pull his car back onto the street. Bulletin No. 20 of Kerlin’s Grand View poultry farm at Centre Hall reached this office on Tuesday morning, only a few hours after we stood at the Pennsylvania railroad depot and inspected a shipment of thousands of young chicks having been shipped from that place on Mon- day morning, and we were constrain- ed to look back to the days of our childhood when chicken farms were an unknown quantity and the only kind of incubators in existence the old clucking hen. Of course the little brown hen still has certain duties to perform which inventive genius has not yet been able to take from her, but when it comes to poultry farms and their mission in furnishing eggs and young chicks the Kerlin farm is one of a number of good ones in Cen- tre county.

Writing generally of her apprecia- tion of the “Watchman,” Mrs. J. B. Smith, of Grand Island, Nebraska, states that she was specially inter- ested in the stories of “Lewis the Rob- ber,” which the “Watchman” recently published through the courtesy of their author, Mr. Frederic Godcharles. Mrs. Smith recalls having heard her grandfather, who lived between Pleas- ant Gap and Lauvertown, now called Peru, tell of Lewis, and sometimes Connelly, having come down out of Nittany mountain to his home on fre- quent occasions to have paper money exchanged for gold. Her grandfather did not know until some time after their last trip to his home who his strange visitors had been. After he learned that they were the notorious highwaymen of that period he recalled that their actions had been more or less suspicious, since they always came and went through Mec- Bride’s Gap and along the foot of the mountain to his place and not over the more traveled highway. — Mrs. Nevin E. Cole wishes to thank her many friends for the kind- ness shown during her late bereave- ment, and for the service rendered in giving cars for the funeral. ———_—_———— Centre County Bank Case Again Held Up in the Supreme Court. Much to the disappointment of all concerned the Supreme Court of the United States failed to hand down an opinion or decree on Monday morning that would loosen a few of the tan- gles in the Centre County bank case. As has been reported in the papers previously, aside from a decision on the main questions involved, there was injected into the case an applica- tion to have George H. Shugert, as his administrator, substituted for his father, the late John M. Shugert, for the purpose of carrying on the pro- ceedings. Also three creditors, W. J. Emer- ick, Howard Holzworth and Roy Wil- kinson, petitioned the court for per- mission to intervene in the proceed- ings. The expectation was that the Court would act on these later petitions without argument, both sides to the controversy having expressed the de- sire that it should. Evidently the country’s highest tribunal looks upon the matter in such a way that oppor- tunity for argument should be afford- ed. For, on Tuesday, without an opin- ion filed, the order was issued that George H. Shugert should be permit- ted to substitute on the record as ad- ministrator of his father, but that the original petition could not be amended so as to permit creditors to intervene. While the attorneys on both sides are more or less in doubt as to why there should be another argument it seems to be the consensus of opinion that the opportunity of new argument is offered for the purpose of discus- sing the administrator's right to be admitted and what rights invest in him if he is admitted. The date for this argument has been set for next November 10th. After it has been made the Court will probably clear up the collateral ques- tions involved and later render its opinion on the main questions carried to it and not yet touched upon, except inferentially. The following letter from the Pro- thonotary of the Supreme Court may give you a clearer idea of the status of the proceeding than we have been able to do above: Washington, D. C., May 13, 1924. Dear Sir: I beg to inform you that the Court announced an order on yesterday en- tering the suggestion of death, and granting the motion to substitute in the cases of Meek, Dale and Breeze v. Centre County Banking Corpora- | tion, Nos. 590, 591 and 592, of the Oc- tober Term, 1923, advancing the cases for argument on Monday, November 10th next after the cases heretofore assigned for that day, on the issues including that of the right of the Ad- ministrator to continue this proceed- ing in bankruptcy. ———— ne Al em nine. Hung Up on the Mileshurg Bridge. About midnight, Tuesday, a Chev- rolet coupe owned by B. L. Van Dine, of State College, was badly wrecked when it hit the girder on the north end of the iron bridge spanning Bald Ea- gle creek at Milesburg. The machine hit the superstructure of the bridge with such force as to bend the brace irons considerable, totally demolish the body of the car, and wreck the en- gine and it recoiled in such a way as to throw it crosswise on the driveway of the bridge. The driver ascribes the accident to his effort to avoid hitting a woman pe- destrian just as he was entering the bridge. None of the four occupants of the car were hurt, though it was a miracle that they were not all im- mersed in the swollen waters of the creek. The identity of the woman who was walking on the highway at midnight has not been revealed. Get Your Seats for the Minstrels. Secure your seats next Monday at Mott’s drug store for the Academy Minstrels. Their entertainment this year promises a rare treat. The danc- ing carnival in the second part will surely be worth the price of admis- sion. Little Huberta Bernhardt, of Pittsburgh, will appear in three num- bers. She is a wonder and will win the admiration of every one in the au- dience. Dances by young ladies and students will illustrate many types of attractive and amusing features. Don’t forget the dates, Thursday and Friday, May 22nd and 23rd. The minstrel dance will take place in the armory Friday night, May 23rd, 11 to 3 o'clock. The Challis Collegians will furnish the music. C. F. Tate Helps a Bit. Possibly because he has raised a family of ball players and possibly because he is just a good fellow who has always tried to do his part “Cor- ny” Tate, the plumber, has built, at his own expense, a batter’s net and placed it on Hughes field for the use of all ball players in Bellefonte. A batter’s net is a moveable back- stop for practice batting and now that the amateur Babe Ruths have some- thing that will save them the trouble of running all over the big field for passed balls there will probably be a lot more local players working into the King of Swat class. —— A —. ——The Last Resort tea room open- ed for patronage during the past week in the old Garman dwelling house on High street. It is now more attract- ive than ever. With this permanent location, its unique decorations and furnishings and the excellent food al- ways served by Miss Valentine should make it the most popular tea room of this section of the country, both for visitors to the town and for the townspeople themselves. ONE DEATH FROM TYPHOID FEVER EPIDEMIC. Seven New Cases Under Treatment in the Bellefonte Hospital. The first death to occur as the re- sult of the typhoid fever epidemic at Coleville happened at one o’clock on Wednesday morning when Miss Helen Wolf, the twenty year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Wolf, and who was the first to be stricken down with the disease, passed away at the Belle- fonte hospital, where another sister is also a patient. Two others are still in a very serious condition, Miss Pearl Leathers and Clarence Young. Since the publication of the list of those ill in last week’s paper seven additional cases have developed and were taken to the hospital for treat- ment. They are Clarence Young, Thurman Davis, Charles Gettig, Cooper Davis, Mrs. Mary Evoch, Mrs. Anna Derstine and Nelson Grubb. Katherine Rote was taken to the hos- pital on Friday as a suspect but as the disease did not develop she was discharged on Sunday. The additional cases developed dur- ing the week must not be taken as ev- idence that the source of the disease has not been overcome. They are simply the result of the infection be- fore the magnitude of the epidemic developed, and it is possible there | may be more cases before the disease is overcome. Helen Wolf, the first victim, was a daughter of Fletcher and Eva Ross- ‘man Wolf and was born at Coleville ‘on April 29th, 1904, hence was 20 | years and 15 days old. All her life ' was spent at the place of her birth. In addition to her parents she is sur- | vived by two brothers and one sister, Creighton and Leslie Wolf and Mrs. Anna Derstine. She also leaves one half-brother, Edward Green. Rev. Reed O. Steely will have charge of the funeral services which will be held tomorrow morning at ten o’clock, burial to be made in the Bellefonte i Union cemetery. | 1 Two Men Suffer Bad Injuries Last Friday. William Keen, an employee of the i Pennsylvania Match company, lost two fingers on his right hand, last | Friday, as the result of getting _caught in one of the machines at the ‘plant. He had just returned to work from a visit to the company’s office for the purpose of paying his monthly contribution to the big hospital drive when he inadvertently got his hand caught in the machine and before it could be stopped the third and fourth fingers were so badly mutilated that they had to be amputated above the upper joint. In fact less than half an hour from the time he paid his hos- pital contribution he was taken to that institution to have his fingers amputated. SAMUEL BURROWS VICTIM OF GUN SHOT. Samuel Burrows, who lives in the tenant house on the Brockerhoff farm, along the Jacksonville road, was also admitted to the hospital on Friday as the result of having his left hand completely torn away as the effects of a shot gun. Mr. Burrows was using the gun to shoot blackbirds which are proving an almost intolerable nui- sance about the barn on the farm. He was on the point of putting the gun away when he saw a bird settle at one end of the barn. Quietly crawling to the corner of the building he attempt- ed to get a shot but the bird was up and away before he could fire. Re- turning he was in the act of hanging the gun up on a nail under the over- shoot, out of the way of the chil- dren, when the gun was discharged. Mr. Burrows had his left hand over the muzzle of the gun and the load of shot literally tore his hand to shreds and it was necessary to amputate it above the wrist. Mr. Burrows is married and has quite a family of small children, so that his unfortu- nate injury is a most deplorable cir- cumstance. Secretary of Labor Davis Visits Bellefonte by Airplane. Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, of President Coolidge’s cabinet, spent a half hour in Bellefonte on Saturday while enroute from Chicago to Phila- delphia, traveling from Cleveland, Ohio, to the Quaker city by airplane. Secretary Davis was the chief speak- er at a meeting in Chicago on Friday evening and was booked for a speech in Philadelphia on Saturday evening. It was impossible to get through by train so he traveled by railroad to Cleveland and made the balance of the trip by airplane. : The ship carrying the secretary was piloted by Paul F. Collins, one of the regular airmail pilots. It left Cleveland at 9:20 o’clock in the morn- ing and reached the Bellefonte avia- tion field at 11:30. A stop of one-half hour was made in Bellefonte during which time Mr. Davis was brought down town and shown the big trout in Spring creek, got a sandwich and an apple and was munching the latter when his ship took flight for Philadel- phia. Of course this wasn’t the secretary’s first flight through the air, as on a former occasion he was a passenger from San Francisco to Chicago, and while in Bellefonte on Saturday he told a “Watchman” reporter that he preferred traveling in the air to on the ground. He further stated that of all the States he had flown across there are none to equal old Pennsyl- vania for beautiful, diversified scen- ery. Mr. Davis lived for many years in Sharon, Mercer county, but his home is now in Pittsburgh. NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Mrs. S. D.

While it will not be a public con- ference all those specially interested in the future of the hospital will be welcomed at the meeting of the Board that is scheduled for the arbitration room in the court house tonight at 8 o’clock. The Board was in session three hours last Friday night planning, so far as it seemed advisable, for the ap- plication for a new charter, change of name and drafting a skeleton form of reorganization for submission to the conference tonight. Kiwanis will be represented at this meeting and it has invited represen- tatives from each division in which the drive was made to be present for counsel with the Board. The form of government and aims of the corporation must be stated in the application for the charter and as the shortest time that a new charter can be legally granted will be ap- proximately six weeks the present Board must function in order to prop- erly open the way for its successor to come into being. The meeting tonight will be for dis- cussion of such preliminary steps as are necessary to the reorganization and in order that the old Board might not appear as having exclusively made plans that will bind any new one that might be chosen those who have been most active in the $100,000 drive have been invited to offer such sug- gestions as they may have to present.
