Three Prisoners Escape, Recaptured
Within an Hour.
Three colored prisoners escaped
from the Rockview penitentiary about
eight o’clock last Thursday evening,
were recaptured in the vicinity of ‘Axe
Mann by prison guards and landed in
the Centre county jail by nine o’clock
or a few minutes later; were sentenc-
ed by Judge Quigley on Monday after-
noon and taken back to Pittsburgh on
‘Tuesday by sheriff E. R. Taylor.
The men were David L. Stevens, of
Allegheny county, serving five to sev-
en years for voluntary manslaughter;
John M. Jones, of Allegheny county,
serving five to eight years for break-
ing and entering, larceny and receiv-
ing stolen goods, and James Rudy
Proctor, of Lawrence county, serving
two to four years for breaking and
entering.
The men belonged to the class of
inmates under instruction of State
College professors and escaped by
cutting out the screen of a second
story window in the building used for
school purposes, climbing down the
outside and heading for Bellefonte.
When taken before Judge Quigley
for sentence, on Monday, Stevens gave
as his excuse for escaping the death
of his mother, but according to a let-
ter he showed the court she had been
buried before he attempted escape. He
was given from 3% to 7 years in addi-
tion to his old sentence. .
* Jones, who is 36 years old, has a
record of sixteen years or more be-
, hind prison bars, all for robbery. He
gave as his reason for escaping that
he didn’t like it at Rockview because
he objected to men standing over him
and watching him while he was work-
ing. He also said that he never want-
ed to come out to the farm but was
compelled to come. He drew an addi-
tional 4 to 8 years.
Proctor, of Lawrence county, was
sent back to Pittsburgh for from two
to four years to date from the com-
pletion of his original sentence.

Four Bellefonte Excursionists in
Wreck -at Tonawanda, N. Y.
Four Bellefonte men, members of
the excursion which went from here to
Niagara Falls on Saturday night, were
in the wreck at Tonawanda, N. Y., on
Sunday, in which two Philadelphia
people were killed outright and four
score or more injured. The men were
Joe Barletta, wire chief for the Penn
State Telephone company; L. E.
Smith, J. J. Curto and C. E. Hill, all
employees of the State Highway De-
partment. They all suffered minor in-
juries but not sufficient to prevent
them doing good work in helping to
rescue the more seriously injured in
the wreck.
Before the injured were all removed
a claim agent of ‘the International
Railway, on which the accident took
place, was on the spot and settled
every claim possible.
Many Odd Fellows Went to Tyrone.
As an escort to the Keystone Trav-
eler one hundred and fifty Odd ¥Fel-
lows from Bellefonte, State College,
Boalsburg, Pine Grove Mills, Centre
Hall, Lemont, Port Matilda ‘and
Stormstown, headed by the I. O. O. F.
band of Bellefonte, motored to Ty-
rone last Friday evening and deliver-
ed the now famous hook to the Ty-
rone lodge. Representatives of a
large number of lodges in Blair coun-
ty were on the ground and all partic-
ipated in a street parade.
At a meeting which followed the
Keystone Traveler was presented to
the Tyrone lodge by J. Kennedy John-
ston. Other addresses were made by
S. D .Gettig Esq., of Bellefonte, and
J. Laird Holmes, of State College.
The Tyrone lodge furnished refresh-
ments to all the visitors.
County Conference of Women’s Clubs
Well Attended.
The annual conference of the Wom-
‘en’s clubs of Centre county was held
‘in the High school building in Belle-
fonte last Saturday, with representa-
| tives of fifteen oragnizations present.
The conference was presided over
by Miss Helen E. C. Overton, county
president, and Miss Isabella Hill, pres-
ident of the Woman’s club of Belle-
fonte made the address of welcome, to
which response was made by Mrs.
Haller, of State College. ;
The roll call revealed that represen-
tatives from the following organiza-
tions were present: Bellefonte, Wom-
en’s club, D. A. R,, Y. M. C. A. auxil-
iary, Centre County hospital auxilia-
ry, Children’s Aid society, Red Cross
and W.C. T. U. State College, Amer-
ican Association of Women, Alumnae
Association, Woman’s club, Red Cross.
Howard, Civic club and Sewing Cir-
cle. Unionville, Civic club and W. C.
T. U. Mothers Assistance Fund
board.
After several violin numbers by
Mrs. Louis Schad, accompanied by
Mrs. R. Russell Blair, Mrs. Haller, of
State College, made her report as a
delegate to the State Federation. This
was followed by an appeal for the
Near East relief cause by Miss Mary
H. Linn, county chairman. :
At the conclusion of the morning
session the delegates enjoyed a box
luncheon and the opportunity to re-
new acquaintanceships formed when
the women’s organizations first began
functioning.
The principal speaker at the after-
noon session was Dr. A. E. Martin, of
State College. He spoke on the “In-
consistencies in Our Relations with
Japan.” It was a very intimate and
instructive discussion of phases of the
Japanese question that are not often
seen in print and went far toward giv-
ing his hearers a clearer understand-
ing of the many factors entering into
one of the most serious diplomatic
problems our government has to solve.
After Dr. Martin had concluded
Miss Doris Cobb played several piano
selections, and then Rev. Maude
Seymour, vice president of the W. C.
1 T. U. of Pennsylvania, was introduced
and gave a comprehensive talk on the
work in the State of the organization
she represents.
The conference adjourned to meet
next year at State College.

Arrested for Swindling State College
Merchants,
A young man who gave his name as
Herman M. Guthrie and his home
Pasadena, Cal, was brought to the
Centre county jail on Saturday night
by officer Robert Mingle, of State Col-
lege, on the charge of swindling State
dium of worthless checks.
to the story the young man appeared
at the College about a week previous
and enrolled as a student in a special
course. During the week he deposited
a check for $50 in one of the College
banks. He then visited several stores
and made small purchases, tendering
in paymenta check for a larger sum
so that he always got cash in change.
Saturday morning he disappeared and
it was then discovered that his check
deposited at the bank was forged pa-
per and all the checks he had issued
worthless. The total amount of his
operation were about sixty dollars.
Learning that Guthrie had gone
away on the Tyrone bus officer Mingle
telephoned the police of that town to
nab him, which they did, and he went
up and brought him to the Centre
county jail. Guthrie gives his age as
eighteen but he looks considerably
Ider. He claims to have served six
months in the navy during the world
war. When searched at the jail a
number of class cards and entrance
found in his possession.
Fire Destroys Farm Home in Georges
Valley.
The house on the Evans farm in
Georges valley, near Penn Hall, was
entirely destroyed by fire on Monday.
The farm, which was formerly the
property of the late Prof. D. M. Wolf,
for a number of years county super-
intendent of public schools, is now
owned by James Evans and occupied
by himself and two sisters. During
the past summer they remodeled and
improved the house throughout, mak-
ing it into one of the most comforta-
ble homes in that section of the coun-
ty. How the fire originated is not def-
initely known but when-discovered an
appeal was sent broadcast for help.
and a large number of people respond-
ed, most of them with buckets for use
in a bucket brigade, but unfortunately
| there was not enough water on the
| place to make an impression on the
i lames and every energy was directed
toward saving as much as possible of
the contents of the house. Only a
| portion of the furniture was saved,
and unfortunately some of it was con-
siderably damaged by rough handling.
Among other things burned were for-
ty bushels of potatoes and some valu-
able rugs. Mr. Evans carried some in-
surance but not sufficient to cover his
loss.
