E. E. Davis, Assistant Deputy War- ed by General Ballington and Mrs.
| den, at Rockview, Killed Man
at Lewistown.
deputy warden at the Rockview peni-
tentiary, is being held by Mifflin coun-
ty authorities at Lewistown on the
charge ‘of murder for shooting and
killing John Mullen, a crippled hobo,
of Jersey Shore, early last Friday
morning. While various reports have
{ been circulated in regard to the shoot-
"ing the facts in the case, so far as the
“Watchman” has been able to learn,
are as follows:
| Davis, with guards Joseph Boyer
"and William Musser were in Lewis-
town on the hunt of Harry Brubaker,
ia Mifflin county inmate who escaped
| from the Rockview penitentiary Sep-
| tember 21st. The three men spent
i Thursday night at a Lewistown ho-
tel, all occupying one room. A little
after six o’clock on Friday morning
Davis got up, dressed and left the
room, stating that he had received a
, tip the night before that he wanted to
| look into. Some two hours later Boy-
{er and Musser were informed that
; Davis had been arrested for shooting
‘a man at a hobo’s eamp on a small
creek on the outskirts of Lewistown.
The only three men at the camp at
the time were Davis, Harry M. Mec-
Coy, of Altoona, whom Davis had
known in his old baseball days when
he was a member of the Altoona Tri-
State club, and John Mullen, the man
shot. According to printed reports of
the affair McCoy and Mullen were
camping on the little creek and it was
to their camp Davis went when he left
the hotel. Failing to get any trace of
Brubaker, it is alleged that Davis
joined the two men. The latter had
evidently been drinking, as quite a
number of empty cologne bottles were
found at the camp.
McCoy alleges that Davis joined
them in drinking but denies any
knowledge of the shooting. Stories
differ as to the condition of the men
when found, some alleging that both
McCoy and Davis were in a dazed
condition when found, while other re-
ports aver that Davis was not drunk.
At the coroner’s inquest, on Monday
evening, one woman, who claimed to
have been an eye witness of the shoot-
ing, testified that the men were all
drinking when they began to quarrel
and Davis pulled his gun and shot
Mullen in the neck, the bullet sever-
ing the jugular vein. Principally on
afternoon the court declared a half
hour recess in the Musser murder tri-
al to enable Judge Quigley to go to
the library and preside at a brief ses-
sion of naturalization court. Eigh-'
teen men of foreign birth were grant-
ed citizenship papers and one held
over until next June.
—Several of the women on the
Heaton jury who were compelled to
spend the night under guard at the
Brockerhoff house, had some difficulty
in securing their “nighties,” but after ,
investigating three bags filled with |
men’s habilaments they finally secur- |
ed what they were looking for and
were made comfortable as possible. |
When in doubt as to where to
spend your evenings try the Scenic.
There you will get your money’s
worth in watching the motion pic-
tures, big features, interesting news
films, laughable comedies and every-
thing necessary to make up a well
balanced program. Only the regulars
get the benefit of all the good pic-
tures.
Station agent D. A. Barlett is
shivering in a box car at Beech Creek
while the Public Service Commission
is endeavoring to decide whether
Beech Creek or Blanchard is entitled
to a new station building, or either of
them. Pennsylvania officials, in fact,
claim there is no necessity for a sta-
tion building at either place, but the
matter is now up to the Public Service
Commission.
While driving down the back
road from Curtin to Howard, one day
last week, Alf. Baum saw something
that would gladden the eye and shake
the nerve of many a hunter. In a
field on the Robinson farm two young
buck deer were grazing as placidly
as if they knew nothing of the war
that will be declared on them Decem-
ber 1st. After admiring them for a
while Alf. began tootin’ his horn to
see what they would do but they paid
no attention to Henry Ford's noise-
maker, whatever.
——Sunday, October 4th, has been
designated as a church rally day in
all interdenominational churches in
the country, the object being to get as
‘many members as possible to attend
«church on that day and have them in-
duce non-church members to be pres-
ent. It will be the beginning of a
systematic effort, covering a period of
several weeks, to arouse new interest
in the church so that the public wor-
ship will have a larger place in the
life of the community. A friendly
visitation to every home by the pastor
or some prominent church worker is
one of the things proposed.
As a testimonial to his thirty
years of service as a member of The
Pennsylvania State College faculty

lege as head of the English depart-
ment after receiving attractive offers
elsewhere, Dr. Fred Lewis Pattee was

urday evening, at the University Club
at State College. About 200 faculty
members attended. The college branch
of the American Association of Uni-
versity Professors arranged for the
reception to Dr. Pattee, who has won
an international reputation as one of
the foremost authorities on American
the strength of her testimony and the
fact that Davis was the only man in
the crowd who had a revolver, he has
. been held by the Mifflin county author-
ities on a charge of murder.
Davis, who is an old Tri-State base-
ball player, began his services as
a guard at the western penitentiary
in Pittsburgh about ten years ago.
He was f{ransferred to Rockview in
1916 and because of his dependabil-
ity was made assistant deputy war-
den in 1917.
At a habeas corpus hearing on Wed-
nesday Davis was released from cus-
tody under $5,000 bail, and district at-
torney Wilson stated that he was un-
"decided as yet as to whether he would
try for a first degree murder charge.

Elmer E (Red) Davis, assistaut ‘the benefit of destitute families of
Maude Booth, have been granted per-
mission to hold a “children’s heart”
tag day in Bellefonte tomorrow for
prisoners in care of the organization
in this State.
. The local sponsors for the affair are
Rev. E. E. McKelvey, Miss Elizabeth
Meek, Mrs. Robert Mills Beach, Rev.
Reed O. Steely, Mrs. M. H. Brouse
and Rev. Malcolm DePui Maynard.
Headquarters will be in the Red |
Cross room in Petrikin hall, with Mrs.
Hilda Leathers in charge.
One of the most needed branches of
the woik of the organization appeals to
all hearts alike. Unprotected and
neglected children are taken from the
squalor and poverty of homes where
vicious surroundings exist and are
placed in clean, comfortable, bright
homes, where they are properly fed,
clothed and cared for.
In speaking over the radio recently
of the work of the organization, Mrs.
Booth states that “over 70,000 children
in America have, during the past three
years, been helped to good citizenship |
through this organization, and nearly '
12,000 discharged or paroled prison-
ers received aid through our Hope
Halls while waiting for a chance to '
make good.”
Local merchants and theatre own-
ers have co-operated in offering prizes
for those securing the largest amounts
for their tags. The first prize will be
a manicure set, given by the Mott
Drug Co.; the second a handbag, giv-
en by Wm. S. Katz; the third will be .
a silver Eversharp pencil, given by C. |
D. Casebeer, and the fourth a box of .
chocolates, given by the Bon Mot. !
Those securing at least $3.00 for their |
tags will receive a pass to the Scenic
theatre.
Invitations to help sell the tags’
have been mailed to a number of boys |
and girls. Those desiring to help in |
the work are requested to go to head-
quarters at nine o’clock tomorrow
(Saturday) morning for instructions
and tags.
The committee hopes every one will
“Have a Heart and Help an Unfortu-
nate,” for that is the tag day slogan.
——Always glad to have you come
in and look around at West Company.

Gate to the Big Spring to be Locked.
Recent advise to council from the
Health Department of the State will !
probably result in locking the gate of '
the fence surrounding the Big Spring
in this place and the exclusion of ali |
but employees of the borough who |
may have business within the enclos-
ure.
In anticipation of possible compli-
ance with the order council is consid-
ering the erection of a drinking foun-
tain for public convenience just out-
side the fence.
The order is the result of analysis
of samples of the water taken from
faucets at several places in town. The
State sanitary engineer advises that
they were found to be ‘“unsatisfacto-
ry” and suggests that the Spring be
closed to the public and “chlorinated,”
as well. Wherein the samples showed
“unsatisfactory” analysis was not
stated in the letter. At the same
time they were sent other samples
were submitted for test in the labora-
tories of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege. The latter showed no contami-
nation, whatever. :
For more than one hundred years
the water from the Big Spring has
been the sole source of supply for
Bellefonte. In all of that time there
has not been a case of sickness of rec-
ord that has been directly traceable
to any impurity in it. If we were in
council we would be from Missouri.
We might vote to close the gate and
erect the fountain suggested, but we’d
compel the Health Department to
show us before we’d assent to chlor-
inating a water supply that nature
seems to have kept perfectly pure.
Among the Sick.
Mrs. John Dubbs, of Willowbank
street, who has not been well for a
long time is said to be quite seriously
ill now. :
John Martin, of Bush Addition,
who suffered a stroke of paralysis
three months ago has not been re-
covering from its effects as his friends
had hoped he would. It appears to be
deepening instead of clearing up.
Carpenter Harvey Fike, of Spring
township, who has never fully recov-
ered from an attack of shingles he
suffered two years ago, is housed up
with a very bad cold.
First National Bank Granted Powers
"of a Trust Company.
The First National bank of Belle-
fonte has been granted the right by
the Federal Reserve bank and the
State Banking Department to exer-
cise all the rights of a trust company,
so far as acting as executor or admin-
istrator of estates, guardian, trustee
or in any other fiduciary capacity. A
trust department has been opened
which is entirely distinct and separate
from its regular banking business.
This will prove a great -convenience
for the many patrons of the bank and
the general public. .

Home Lighting Contest Inaugurated
in Bellefonte.
Some weeks ago the National Light
association launched a better home
lighting educational contest in which
prizes ranging from a $15,000 home
down to $300 are offered for success-
ful contestants. This contest is be-
ing extended to every part of the
United States and within the past
week the Bellefonte Educational
Lighting association was formed with
E. C. Musser as chairman of the com-
| mittee.
An advertisement on the fifth page
of today’s “Watchman” tells of the of- |
fer made by the National Light asso-
ciation but that is but a part of the
story. As a stimulant to interest the
school children of Centre county in
the better home lighting contest $125
have been apropriated for local prizes
to be distributed by the Bellefonte
Educational committee among success-
ful contestants. In addition to these
prizes the winners will be certified to
the National Light association as con-
testants for the national prizes which
include a $15,000 model electrical
home and scholarship prizes in var-
ious colleges running from $1200
down to $300.
The plan is strictly educational in
its purpose and nature. The work as
outlined contemplates reaching ten
million homes where electricity is
used. It is hoped to reach them
through educational competitions de-
signed to interest school children, op-
erated locally and nationally with the
sanction and approval of school au-
thorities. Competition will be limited
to school children of High school age
or less, regularly enrolled in the pub-
lic, parochial and private schools of
the community.
The first step will be the distribu-
tion through the schools of an attrac-
tive announcement folder which will
display both the local prizes and the
national awards. With this folder
will be given a registration card, to
be signed by the child and returned to
the local committee. Then every child
who registers will be given a Home
Lighting Primer. It will contain the
rules of the contest, a series of brief,
simple rules on home lighting, and the
material necessary for the competi-
tive features. More detailed an-
nouncements will be made in this pa-
per from week to week.
