ents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gilfillan, at

The increase in the price of
“bobs” by the barbers of Bellefonte,
last week, will doubtless result in
many girls retaining their “crown of
glory,” especially as Paris has ruled
that bobbed heads are now out of
style. There has also been an increas-
ed demand among the dealers for
safety razors. :
that a detail of five state policemen
will be stationed permanently at the
Rockview penitentiary as a precau-
tionary measure against prisoners es-
caping or a general outbreak. Dur-
ing the past few weeks a squad of fif-
teen men have been at Rockview but
this number will be gradually reduc-
ed until the detail is down to five.
The painting recently done on
the Presbyterian church and manse at
Milesburg was suggested and partial-
ly financed by a class of young men in
the Sunday school, assisted by the al-
ways faithful Ladies Aid. These en-
terprising people hope to start work
on the interior of the church in the
near future, improvements which will
make the little edifice one of the most
attractive in that vieinity.
‘While driving along the moun-
tain road in the Fishing Creek nar-
rows, Tuesday evening, Miss Henriet-
ta Quigley, in passing another car,
drove her own too close to the side of
the road and it went over onto the
rocks. Fortunately for its occupants
the rocks were so large that they kept
"the car from turning over and fall-
ing down a four foot embankment. It
had to be abandoned and was not got-
ten out until Wednesday.
——~Quite a number of motion pic-
ture fans in Bellefonte turn to the
Scenic program published in the
“Watchman” and read it before they
look over the news in the paper. They
are men and women who depend on
the Scenic for their evening’s enter-
tainment, because they know the pic-
tures are always new and interesting.
.All those who are not regular attend-
ants should get the habit and see all
“the worth-while pictures.
——Good speakers, good band, good
quartette . and refreshments on the
.ground are among the inducements
offered at a big Ku Klux gathering to
be held at Grange park, Centre Hall,
tomorrow afternoon and. evening.
‘The speakers will be from Atlanta,
‘Ga.; Pittsburgh and Altoona, while
the latter city will furnish the band. !
No definite program has been an-
nounced but there will probably be
speaking in the afternoon with fire-
works, the flaming cross and initia-
tion of new members at night.
Upon the recommendation of
Col. Henry W. Shoemaker the State
geographic board has decided to name
a mountain in Centre county after
Count Charles Treziyulny, the Polish
refugee who came to Centre county as
a young man and engaged in civil en-
gineering, assisting in the construc-
tion of the old Pennsylvania canal
along the Susquehanna river. His re-!
mains are buried. in the Treziyulny
cemetery just north of Milesburg and,
- while the mountain which is to bear
his name has not yet heen designated,
it is quite likely it will be as near the
old family cemetery as possible.
Dr. Ellen Potter has announced :
WILL OF THE LATE A. G. MORRIS
PROBATED ON MONDAY.
‘A Voluminous "Docket. Bellefonte
Presbyterian Church and Hos-
pital Receive the Only
Charitable Bequests.
{ The will of the late Hon. A. G. Mor- |
' ris was entered for probate late on:
| Monday afternoon in the office of reg-
‘ister of wills, Harry A. Rossman. It
tis a voluminous document, coyering
some fifteen or sixteen pages of legal
size paper and disposes of an estate
estimated at approximately one mil-
lion dollars. The only charitable be-
quests are to the Presbyterian church
of Bellefonte and the Bellefonte hos-
pital, (now the Centre County hos-
tal.) The will, which is dated May
18th, 1923, was drawn by Mr. Morris’
legal advisor and confidential friend,
W. Harrison Walker, who will also be
the attorney in charge of the settle-
ment of the estate, the bulk of which
is left in trust during the present
generation.
While, as stated above, the estate
is estimated at approximately a mil-
lion dollars, the major portion of it
consists of decedent’s interest in the
American Lime & Stone company, and
the preliminary paragraph of the will
specifies that the payment of all just
debts, funeral expenses, inheritance
taxes, legal fees, charitable and spe-
cial bequests are to be made out of
the proceeds of the sale and settle-
ment of his holdings of the preferred
and common stock of that organiza-
tion; or any other lawful interest he
may have therein. Of course, Mr.
Morris had property interests in oth-
er sections of Pennsylvania as well as
in other States, which necessitated the
probating of a dozen or more copies
of the will. Stripped of its legal ver-
biage and phraseology the will dis-
poses of the estate as follows:
To Eliza Egbert Morris the family
home on east Linn street, with all its
contents, such as furniture, silver-
ware, heirlooms, etc.; also, the farm
of 163 acres in Butler county, Penn-
sylvania, which is underlaid with val-
uable minerals; also, his right, title
and interest, in fee simple, of the
California lime quarries (heretofore
known as the Pemberton quarries),
now operated by the Pittsburgh Lime
and Stone company.
To his four sons, Charles A. Mor-
ris, Thomas King Morris, Robert
Morris and Alexander G. Morris Jr.,
$30,000 each.
To Homer Thompson, who for years
was Mr. Morris’ chauffeur, $2,000, to
be paid within six months, as a con-
sideration for his uniform courtesy
and strict attention to his duties at all
times.
To the Bellefonte Presbyterian
church the sum of $5,000 to be used
and applied in any way and manner
as the official board may see fit.
To the Bellefonte hospital (now
Centre County hospital) the sum of
$10,000 to be used in any way and for
any purpose the board of directors
may in their judgment see fit and di-
rect.
The will then directs that the sum
of $105,000 be placed in trust in the
Peoples Savings and Trust company.
of Pittsburgh, the income from
$20,000 of which sum, less all costs
and fees entailed in handling same,
be paid to his grand-son, Thomas
King Morris Jr., during his natural
life. In the event of his death the
principal to go to his widow and chil-
dren, if any he should have.
To Elizabeth Morris is left the in-
come on $25,000, less expenses, etc.,
for a period of ten years, when the
principal is to be paid to her outright.
To Elliott Lyon Morris, the income
from $20,000 for a period of ten years,
when the principal is to be paid to
him.
To Alexander G. Morris III and
Robert Morris Jr., sons of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Morris, the income from
$20,000 each until they attain their
| majority when the principal is to be
i paid them outright.
All the -residue and remainder of
the estate is to be converted into a
trust fund and placed in charge of the
Peoples Savings and Trust company,
of Pittsburgh, and apportioned into
five shares, two-sixths of which is de-
vised outright to his daughter, Eliza
Egbert Morris, and the income from
one-sixth of the total to be paid to
each of his sons, Charles, Thomas,
Robert and Alexander Jr.
The will further devises and be-
queaths to Eliza Egbert Morris the
right to dispose of all her right, title
and interest in the estate by will to
whomsoever and whatsoever she may
see fit, but none of the sons are grant-
ed the power to dispose of anything,
with the exception of the $30,000 be-
quest granted outright. Their inter-
est in the one-sixth of the trust fund
of the residue of the estate ceases at
their death, according to the terms of
the original will, and their interest
is then to be paid outright to their
children, or in the event of no legal
issue, then divided share and share
alike among the surviving grand-
children; but in a codicil the interest
was extended to the death or remar-
riage of the wife, in the event of her
surviving the death of her husband.
But if any such shall remarry their
interest ceases and the principal is
then to be paid to the children, if any,
and if not, the surviving grand-chil-
dren share and share alike.
The codicil also provides that any
legatee, who may express dissatisfac-
tion with any provisions of the will
or questions its legality in any way
whatsoever, shall be paid the sum
of $1.00 as his or her interest in the
estate and the portion devised and be-
queathed thereto then be divided
equally among the others.
Lastly the will appoints as execu-
tors to settle the estate Eliza Egbert
Morris, Thomas King Morris, Charles
A. Morris and Frank K. Lukenbach, !
now president of the Blair County .
National bank, each of whom are to’
receive for their work the sum of
$5,000.

Bootlegging at Granger’s Picnic.
George Long, of Ferguson town-
ship; Bert Lyle and Theodore Taylor,
of State College, were all arrested at
the Granger’s picnic at Centre Hall
last week by state policeman J. A.
King, on the charge of bootlegging. !
The three men are under bail for their
appearance at the next term of court.’
Mrs. Harry Miller, of Boalsburg,'
sold a quart of home-made wine to a’
stranger, one day last week, for $1.50,
and that proved her downfall, as the
man was a state policeman in plain
clothes and he promptly searched her
home, finding two more quarts of
wine. The woman was placed under
arrest and will also have to answer
to the court for having in her posses-
sion and selling intoxicating liquors.
Harry Brooks, of Snow Shoe, was
arrested last week by Sergt. Jimcous-
ky for maintaining and operating
gambling devices and gave bail for
his appearance at court.
Tony Stec, Polishman, Goes Bughouse.
tn |
Last Thursday night a Polishman
by the name of Tony Stec registered |
at the Bush house and at his request :
was assigned a room for the night.
Shortly after going to the room he
locked the door and started in creat-
ing a general commotion. Sheriff
Taylor was summoned and the door |
broken open. Stec had a window stick |
in his hand and brandished it in self-
defense. But the sheriff had little
difficulty in taking him into custody
and conveying him to the county jail.
While the man can talk only brok-
en English he told a weird story of
being wanted in Wilkes-Barre where
he killed a man sixteen years ago.
Now it happens that one of the state
policemen stationed in this section is
a Polishman and he went to the jail
and undertook to interrogate the man.
Stec persisted that he had killed a
man at or near Wilkes-Barre sixteen
years ago, but asked as to when he
came to this country he replied “four-
teen years ago.” So the only conclu-
sion is that the man is completely out
of his mind, but what occasioned his
condition or why he selected the Bush
house to start his stunts has not been
determined.
Bush House to Change Hands on
Monday. :
ed
A deal was closed on Wednesday |
whereby J. T. Stewart, a well known !
hotel man of Central Pennsylvania,
purchased from the Daggett estate |
the interior furnishings and equip-
ment of the Bush house, and next
Monday, September 15th, that gentle-
man will succeed Lewis Daggett as
landlord.
For more than thirty-six years the
name of Daggett has been prominent-
ly identified with the management of
this well known hotel. In fact it was
in March, 1888, when W. L. Daggett
and Mr. Elliett, under the firm name
of Daggett & Elliott, took charge of
the hotel, succeeding W. R. Teller.
Mr. Elliott continued in the firm only
a year or two when he withdrew and
Mr. Daggett was in charge until his
death a few years ago, since which
time the management has devolved
upon his son Lewis.
The Bush house has always been
recognized as one of the leading ho-
tels in the central part of the State,
and is located conveniently to the
railroad station. Hence it has always
enjoyed a large clientelle among the
transient trade. Mr. Stewart, the
new proprietor, will come to Belle-
fonte with years of experience as a
hotel man. He at present has under
his supervision the management of
the Liecester house, in Huntingdon,
and Marble Hall, in Mount Carmel.
As to Mr. Daggett, he has two open
offers to go into the hotel business
elsewhere but has not yet decided
which one he will take over.
“The Cat and the Canary.”
The internationally known “Cat and
Canary” will pay its first visit to
Bellefonte on Tuesday evening, Sep-
tember 16th. The company engaged
in this spooky thriller is the one
which played for thirty-six weeks last
season. John Willard’s hair raising
drama has yet many cities on its call-
ing list in this country but has al-
ready had runs in England and Aus-
tralia and has been played through
the Orient by T. Daniel Frawley’s
celebrated traveling reportoire com-
pany.
“The Cat and the Canary” was built
upon the established principle that
people like thrills as long as they
know that the end is rosy. It is like
reading Poe’s “Black Cat” with the.
lights down and have them flare up;
like a journey on a roller coaster with
safety never out of sight. In this sen-
sational success a will is read at mid-
night, there is a murder and an icy
hand removes a valuable necklace
from a sleeping girl’s throat. Doors
open and panels slide on a dimly lit
stage, while a maniac roams at large
and vague noises cause the audience
as much apprehension as the charac-
ters in the play. 2
But it comes out all right and when-
ever the lights are up there is comedy
to relieve the tension.
0. E. Wee Inc. presents “The Cat
and the Canary” with scrupulous care
and with this exceptional cast: ‘Louise
Price, Chas. F. Seel, James F. Ayres,
Anne Gordon, Jeanne Neilson, Mary
Diehl, Charles Long, Fred E. Strong,
William Dean and Earl McCauley.
Margaret McDowell Was Accidentally
Killed at Clarence on Wednesday
Evening.
Fooling with a loaded revolver caus-
ed the death of Miss Margaret Mec-
' Dowell, fifteen year old daughter of
‘Mr. and Mrs.
' Scotchtown, near Snow Shoe, on Wed- |
Andy McDowell, of
nesday evening. The young girl, with
Jane Stark, accompanied John Pin-
chock and Kenneth Shank to the Cen-
tral garage, at Clarence. Pinchock
carried a loaded revolver in a holster
strapped around his waist.
While in the garage the girls were
playfully tussling with Pinchock when
young Shank warned them to desist,
owing to the loaded revolver in Pin-
chock’s belt. The latter stated that
there was no danger from it and pull-
ed the gun from the holster and
¥proke” it to show how harmless it
was. But as he snapped it together
one chamber was discharged, the bul-
let striking Miss McDowell in the
right side of her back just above the
hip.
First aid was promptly rendered
and she was brought to the Bellefonte
hospital but died before reaching that
institution. Justice of the peace John
M. Keichline held an inquest and after
inquiring into the case the coroner’s
jury returned a verdict of accidental
shooting, and Pinchock was permitted
to return home. Just why he was
carrying the loaded revolver was not
divulged.
The victim of the tragedy was a pu-
pil in the Clarence grammar school
and a bright and winsome young girl.
In addition to her parents she is sur-
vived by several sisters. Arrange-
ments for the funeral are not known
at this writing.
A ————— A te,
Contract Awarded for the Excavations
at Centre County Hospital.
At a regular meeting of the board
of trustees of the Centre County hos-
pital, on Monday evening, the con-
tract for the excavations and founda-
tions for the new wing of the institu-
tion was awarded to John T. Harnish,
he being the lowest bidder. Mr. Har-
nish started work on Wednesday
morning.
The general plans for the building
were submitted by H. S. Moore, chair-
man of the building committee, and
approved by the board. The commit-
tee was authorized to advertise for
bids for the work. Copies of the plans
have already been sent to the Depart-
ment of Labor and Industry and the
State Welfare Department for ap-
proval.
Physicians recently elected to the

their acceptance are LeRoy Locke, of
Bellefonte; George H. Woods, of Pine
Grove Mills; G. S. Frank, of Millheim;
H. S. Braucht, of Spring Mills; W. J.
Kurtz, of Howard; P. H. Dale, of
State College; J. R. Barlett and J. T.
Ritenour, of Pleasant Gap.
ANNUAL MEETING OCTOBER 13th.
*“ The annual corporate meeting of the
hospital association will be held in the
court house at 8 o’clock Monday even-
ing, October 13th. At that time a
new board of trustees will be elected
and every person who has contributed
to the support of the hospital during
the past year is entitled to attend and
have a voice in the meeting.
Prior to the annual meeting a pe-
tition will be presented to the court
to change the name of the institution
from Bellefonte Hospital to Centre
County Hospital.
A deed for a lot in Muscle Shoals,
given by Mrs. Ella J. Mountz, ‘ of
Smith’s Mills, during the big drive
for the hospital, has been received by
the hospital authorities.
The board authorized the publica-
tion of the by-laws of the hospital in
pamphlet form, copies of which will
be distributed to the public.
New Physical Director at the Y.
Mr. J. Fred Pandel has been en-
gaged as physical director by the
Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A,,
and is now busy preparing for the
opening of the gymnasium classes this
month. The gymnasium is being
thoroughly cleaned and the equip-
ment overhauled and putin good
shape for the winter’s work. The first
class will be held for the juniors next
Wednesday afternoon, September 17.
Mr. Pandel comes to the position
well prepared to present a very ac-
tive physical program, having been
‘under the leadership of physical di-
rector J. S. Koller, of the Burnham
Y. M. C. A, for eight years. He is a
splendid gymnast and has assisted Mr.
Koller in a large number of stunts in
connection with their programs there.
He is of light build and very nimble
in his acrobatic work, which should
prove to be an attractive feature to
the younger element. He is a gradu-
ate of the Burnham High school and
a member of their Varsity basket ball
team, on which he played forward po-
sition. Basket ball will have a prom-
inent place on his program this year
and it is quite likely that an indus-
trial basket ball league will be con-
ducted. :
Dr. R. B. Tinsley is chairman of the
new physical committee. He has ap-
pointed a strong committee to co-op-
erate with the physical director in
making the program of his depart-
ment a most attractive one.
Mr. Pandel is a member of the
Evangelical church and is active in
young people’s work. He was presi-
dent of the Mifflin county young peo-
ple’s division, which position he had
to resign when taking up his duties
in Bellefonte. He is a man of ster-
ling character and will prove a great
asset to the staff of the Y. M. C. A.
in their work of putting on an at-
tractive program for the young men
and boys of Bellefonte.

Clubbing Affray at Moshannon.
Edward Fye and Foster Quick, two
young men living near Moshannon,
are under $1,000 bail for trial at the
September term of court for brutally
clubbing Cyrus Schnarrs on Tuesday,
September 2nd. The assault was the
culmination of a feud that has exist-
ed between the families for two years
or more, dating back to a law suit over
Mr. Schnarrs’ cows trespassing on
land owned by his neighbors. :
According to the testimony at a
hearing before ’Squire Kline Wood-
ring, in Bellefonte, the two young men
followed Schnarrs on the day in ques-
tion as he was on his way to Lewis’
store, at Moshannon, stoning him.
Near the store they assaulted him
with a good sized club, which they
broke over his head. Mr. Schnarrs
sustained a cut on the head which re-
quired five stitches to close and was
so badly injured that he has been con-
fined to bed ever since.
