Casper, of Bellefonte, a Pennsylvania railroad employee ar- rested in Harrisburg last week on the charge of shooting James Houser, was released from the Dauphin county jail under $2,500 bail on Friday and came to his home in this place. Houser’s condition is not considered serious. ——The applications of the Fulling- ton Auto Bus company, of Clearfield, and William R.

Last week the Keystene Power corporation sent out a call to parents to caution their children of the dan- ger of flying kites in close proximity to the company’s high tension lines. Kites entangled in the wires not only disrupt service but are liable to prove very dangerous to the holder of the kite string. A peculiar coincidence with the ‘above caution was the fact that on Saturday the Electric Supply company gave free to children a large number of paper kites of various sizes, probably without any knowl- edge that the Keystone Power was cautioning children against the danger of flying kites in the vicinity of elec- tric light wires. ELECTRIC PUMP DECIDED UPON. At a Brief Meeting of Borough Coun- cil Held Monday Evening. Just five members were present at the regular meeting of borough coun- cil on Monday evening. Charles Schad, who has begun the erection of a new house on north Allegheny street, and contemplates the build- ing of a row of some five or six houses, was present and inquired regarding sewer connections. He also asked if council had taken any action relative to the opening of Beaver street ex- tension through his property. Both matters were referred to the Street committee. Edward Decker, who is building a new house on east Burnside street, complained to council about the ex- tremely low water pressure at that point, which is not sufficient to carry the water to his bathroom on the second floor. Mr. Cunningham, chair- man of the Water committee, explain- ed that Mr. Decker’s property is about on a level with the reservoir and the second story will be above that level and the only possible way to give him water will be to raise the reservoir, which will not only be quite an expensive undertaking but will New Radio Business Launched. Mr. Raymond J. Green has opened a radio sale and service business in Bellefonte with the thought of extend- ing it to all parts of Centre county. His office and sales department is on South Water street, just opposite the Big Spring garage. : Having specialized in wireless work for years Mr. Green should be able to bring very superior experience to the work of solving the many prob- lems of satisfactory radio installation. It will be recalled that he came here as wireless operator at the aviation field in 1920. He was a licensed oper- ator in 1912 and left here to do pio- neering work on broadcasting station WEAF, later becoming second assis- tant operator on the Leviathan when she made her notable maiden voyage under the American flag. At present he is handling the “Radiola” and working in co-opera- tion with the Radio Corporation of America. If you are not getting the service you ought to Mr. Green will be able to help you find the cause of your trouble. Will You Help a Struggling Con- gregation. The members of St. Paul’s A. M.

The secretary presented the report of the borough auditors for the year 1924, and the same was ordered filed and published. 7 The secretary also reported that burgess W. Harrison Walker had re- turned the licensing ordinance with- out his approval and accompanied by a lengthy statement of reasons there- fore, his principal objections being against Section 4, which provides for the issuing of licenses to patent med- icine venders; Section 5, the issuance of licenses to street carnivals, and Section 8, requiring circuses to pay a license for giving a parade through the streets of the town. The burgess declared that he has always been op- posed to permitting venders of patent medicines of any and every nature selling their decoctions and pills to the public, as a large percentage of them are fakes and the public has no guarantee that the medicines offered do not contain poison and are not injurious to health. As to carnivals, ‘he has also been opposed to them for the reason that they are mostly a conglomeration of gambling devices and methods and take a lot of money out of the town without giving any adequate return. Regarding the Ii- censing of circuses, he is of the opin- ion that circuses should be encouraged to come to town as their appearance is always a red-letter day in the lives of children, and it is only through the circus that the average child obtains any first hand knowledge of wild animals. The ordinance was referred back to the Fire and Police committee for consultation with the borough solicitor. The Street. committee reported various repairs and the collection of $30 from the Miller Construction com- pany for the use of the road roller. The water committee reported the collection of $41 on the 1923 water duplicate, and that the meter bills from October 1st, 1924, to April 1st, 1925, totalling $3499.64, had been turned over to the Keystone Power corporation for collection. Progress was reported in the matter of the re- modeling of the pumping station. Bills to the amount of $2653.10 were approved for payment, after which council went into a committee of the whole to discuss various pumps, prices and-plans for the proposed new equip- ment at the big spring pumping sta- tion. After a thorough investigation of all styles and kinds of pumps manu- factured, with the prices for same and the possible cost of operation, council decided to leave the matter in the hands of the Water committee. That committee held a meeting later and decided on the purchase of a centrif- ugal pump of one thousand gallons a minute capacity, to be operated by a seventy-five horse power elecizic motor. This will be the main jpump- ing equipment in addition to the two hydraulic pumps constantly in opera- tion, one at the big spring plant and one at the Phoenix mill. The present electric pump and motor will become the property of the bor- ough on the expiration of the present ten year contract of the Keystone Power corporation in 1926, and they will be held as an auxiliary equip- ment to be used in case of emergency or necessity. In deciding to purchase the centrif- ugal pump and motor borough mana- ger Seibert said that the committee had considered every kind of pump made and taken into consideration first cost and maintenance and believ- ed the one decided upon to be the very best that could be had. The decision to install an electric pumping equipment will enable the Water committee to greatly reduce the size of the pumping station build- ing, which is now being remodeled. The old smokestack has been torn down, the two big boilers sold and removed and the contractor will be able to go ahead with the erection of the front part of the building. As it will be considerably curtailed in size the ground in front will be leveled, sodded and ornamented with flower beds. ———————— i — ——The O. E.

Give what you can to They are carry- ing on a very meritorious work and surely must be doing it very econom- ically when they manage so as to get through on $1,200 a year. The solicitors who are authorized to collect for the deficit are the pas- tor, Rev. M. J. Ingraham, Arthur Foreman, Thomas Trammell, Carrie Thomas and James Sommers. Mr. Richelieu Exercises Option on Cchen Property. Charles H. Richelieu, of the Riche- lieu Theatres corporation, was in Bellefonte last Friday and exercised his option on the purchase of the Cohen property, (the old Wilson homestead), on High street. He also rented the house on east High street vacated last week by James P. Seig and will move his family here this week. As soon as he gets settled, he let it be known, he will start work on tearing down the old brick house, which has been: a Bellefonte landmark for many years, in contem- plation of building his proposed ‘new theatre. Sour Cherries and Apples Still Safe. R. H. Merritt, of Martha Furnace, was in Bellefonte Wednesday and ex- pressed the opinion that peaches, sweet cherries and plums will be a | failure this season. His opinion ought to command respect for he has one of the largest orchards in Centre county and devotes his time almost exclusive- ly to fruit growing. : Mr. Merritt ascribes the peach fail- ure to the dry weather of last fall and not to the frosts and freezing of this spring. He says sour cherries and ap- ples are all right thus far and prom- ise a good crop, though sweet cherries and plums will be very few and far between. : : Don’t Pick Wild Flowers on Another's Land. Governor Pinchot, on Saturday, signed the Norton bill which makes it a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not exceeding $500, or imprisonment not exceeding three years to carry away any property growing on the land of another, such as picking fruit from trees,. cutting trees or shrubs, picking wild flowers, ete. The bill was especially designed to prevent passing motorists from picking fruit from orchards or fruit trees along the highway. Date Set for Rummage Sale.

All persons having clothing or other articles to contribute are re- quested to send them to the engine house on Wednesday, May 13th. ———————— pe ————— ——The building of state highways up Bald Eagle valley, from Runville to Snow Shoe and over Nittany moun- tain is creating considerable unex- pected trouble and work for the Key- stone Power corporation. Up Bald Eagle valley and across the Allegheny mountains a number of changes are being made in the location of the road which necessitates the changing of the pole line of the Keystone cor- poration. Construction gangs have been at work up Bald Eagle the past three weeks resetting poles, and the end is not yet. The company will have ten poles to change on Nittany mountain, but that is a mere baga- telle to what the Bell Telephone com- pany is up against, as sixty-five poles of it’s lines between the watering trough and Centre Hall will have to be re-located. ——Next Tuesday evening is the date for the graduation of the nurses at the Centre County hospital train- ing school. The exercises will be held in the court house. MOOSE LODGE FINED $3,000. Philipsburg Organization Draws Heavy Penalty for Manufactur- “ ing Home Brew. At a special session of court, on Friday morning, Judge Arthur C. Dale imposed a fine of $3,000 on the Philipsburg Lodge of Moose, a corpor- ation, for manufacturing, possessing and selling home brew of an alcoholic conten in excess of five per cent. He I also imposed a fine of $100 each and , costs on Charles W. Erb, Joshua Price, Grant Nolan and Joseph Black, four men found in the lodge rooms and placed under arrest at the time the place was raided by state police on or about the middle of February. At the time of the raid the police cap- tured 90 gallons of mash, 25 gallons of syrup, a quart bottle partially filled with whiskey and a small quantity of the home brew. At the hearing on Friday the defendants were represent- ed by S. D. Gettig, of Bellefonte, and George W. Zeigler, of Philipsburg. The attorneys plead for leniency for the four men under arrest, as they were not a party to the manufacture of the beer but opposed to it.

In just two weeks the Bellefonte ‘Academy minstrels will hold the spot- light at the Moose Temple theatre. Those who have seen the boys in prac- | tice aver that the overture this year will be the strongest of any similar performance given by the Academy students. The music is ‘new and catchy, the jokes and quips will be funnier than ever and not of the stale fruit variety, 2 The second part will totally eclipse all former efforts. Among the stars who will take part are eight year old Huberta May Bernhardt, the prodigy danseuse; Miss Margaret Meckel, of Pittsburgh, a fourteen year old girl who has won the plaudits of audiences at the Davis and Nixon theatres, in Pittsburgh, and the Kennedy brothers, students at State College, who have starred in The Thespians and other collegiate performances. These are only the high lights of the minstrel aggregation, as there will be other stellar attractions. Remember the dates and keep them open for the min- strels. EL Two Children Hit by Automobile. On Sunday afternoon James Bry- ant, eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Bryant, of Prossertown, was hit by an automobile driven by a Mr. Kennedy, of Altoona, knocked down and badly injured. He was taken to the Centre County hospital by the driver of the car and it has developed that the lad sustained a fractured skull, but just how serious his condition is has not developed at this writing. Shortly after noon, on Sunday, seven year old Margaret Harter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Har- ter, who live near the Jewish ceme- tery, was hit and knocked down by an automobile driven by a colored chauffeur. The driver stopped to see if the child was badly hurt but she jumped up, declared she wasn’t hurt, and ran home. Her only injuries are body bruises. Both children were playing on the road and ran in front of the machines, it is said, so that the drivers could hardly be at fault. ! ‘going south a number of years ago. —Mrs. Elizabeth B.

Levi is a booster for his home town and is do- ing his part to keep that thriving village at the foot of Nittany mountain before the public and give it a more prominent place on all future maps of Centre county. —William McFarlane, of Boston, the éld- er son of the late J. Kyle and Mrs. Mec- Farlane, of Lock Haven, and Edward Ran- kin, of Philadelphia, Mrs. McFarlane’s on- ly brother, were both at Boalsburg last week for the funeral of the late Frank Mec- Farlane.

Charley was raised in a way that taught the prudence of taking off only such days as are unfit for doing anything else and Thursday, having been too wet for outside work, he brought Mrs. Strouse, their daughter Mary and Mrs. Calvin Stru- ble down here to spend a few hours with their cousin, Mrs. Strunk. While the la- dies were calling Charley looked after ‘a few business matters and wound up with one of his rare calls at this office. Nat- urally we harked back to the 90's when we knew the Strouse family so well at State College, when they were farming the Foster place every inch of which has since become part of State College borough and instead of the placid pastoral picture it then presented is now covered with mod- ern buildings and no trace left of the fur- rows that Frank, and John and Charley and Tom and Luther plowed across what is now the west end of that rapidly growing place. ———————— een e——— Pleasant Gap Streets to be Eleciric- | ally Lighted.

Tungsten lamps will be used and there will be enough of them to thoroughly light the main streets. Titan Metal Co. to Install an Electric Furnace. The Titan Metal company is now at work on the installation of an elec- tric furnace to take the place of the one now in use in smelting the various scrap and metals used in the manu- facture of the metal for which it has established a good trade. Electric furnaces are not an experiment, by any means, as they are being used in many places but whether it will be a success in smelting the kinds of metal used by the Titan is yet to be deter- mined. ! The furnace was received in Feb- ruary but:the work. of installation was started only recently. When com- pleted and tried out, if it proves sat- isfactory the old furnace will be scrapped.
