The State Shirt Shop, at State Col- lege, was robbed on Monday night and the burglars made such a good job of it that when the proprietor, James Bloom, opened up for business on Tuesday morning he found but one full suit of clothes left on his racks. In addition to making such a whole- sale cleanup on suits the burglar or burglars took a quantity of top coats, separate trousers and various other articles of clothing. While Mr. Bloom has not yet been able to make a com- plete checkup of everything taken he estimates his loss at close to a thous- and dollars, and is of the opinion that a truck was used to cart away the goods, as no man or gang of men could have carried away the stuff taken. The robbery took place between one o’clock and daybreak, and the robbers gained entrance by throwing a brick wrapped in a soft hat through the glass in the door. This enabled them to reach inside and unlock the door, after which they had plain sailing. Peculiar as it may seem no one living in the neighborhood of the store heard the breaking of the glass or anything to attract attention to the robbers, and the consequence is that after pulling the job they made a clean getaway without laving a single clue that might lead to their identity. Notice of the robbery, however, was sent to all surrounding towns early on Tuesday morning in the hope that the robbers might attempt to dispose of some of their loot and in that way lead to their arrest. an Appropriation Bills Signed by the Governor. Among the appropriation bills sign- ed by Governor Pinchot, of interest to Centre countians, are the following: Western penitentiary, $850,000. Laurelton state village for feeble minded women, $670,000. To purchase history of twenty- eighth division during world war, $70,000. The Hess enabling act authorizing sale of $8,000,000 in bonds for new buildings at State College. The Governor on Wednesday ap- proved the Betts bill validating the acts of justice of the peace Robinson, of Snow Shoe, who served two years without a commission. The Governor vetoed the Alexander bill appropriating $100,000 for a new death house at Rockview, which pro- vided that the building was to be erected 3,000 feet from any other building. The Governor was scheduled to clean his desk of all bills last night. ——Real hot weather is certain to prevail before many more weeks when ice chests and refrigerators will be a necessity. If in need of anything of the kind consult the advertisement of F. W. West Co., on the fifth page of this issue, regarding their bargain sale of refrigerators. GORDON.—I.

Since the arrival of the structural steel the walls of the addition to the | Centre County hospital have been | going skyward rapidly. On Tuesday | the steel for the third floor was put in place and the brick work will fol- low it up as fast as weather conditions permit. It will not be long until the building is under roof and the inside finish can be started. While the work is being pushed with all the speed that prudence in the ;selection and purchase of materials will permit. the ‘matter of funds with l'which to pay the bills is beginning to worry the board. Some of last No- vember’s payments on the subsecrip- tion have not been paid. Another in- stallment was due on May 1st. Pay- ments on it are coming in very slow and it is very necessary that they be | made at once so that building bills { can be discounted and the maximum ' of return secured for the money con- tributed. ! If you subscribed anything to the ' building campaign and have not met all installments to date it would be a great help if you were to arrange to do so at once. 1 Harry H.

He has contemplated making the change for some time and finally decided on making the plunge now. Naturally his many friends in Bellefonte will regret his leaving the town. He has been a good citizen and | might benefit the town. ——John Torti and Tony Burchan- ‘to, of Lackawanna county, under sen- ‘tence of death by electrocution on June 1st, were brought to the death house last Thursday from the Lacka- wanna county jail at Scranton.

At a brief session of court held on Tuesday afternoon Annie Patterson, of Rush township, plead guilty to manu- facturing and possessing moonshine liquor. When her home was raided some weeks ago a quart of moonshine, a ten gallon still and fifty gallons of mash were confiscated by state police, though the officers were unable to ob- tain any evidence of sale. Mrs. Pat- terson is probably past forty years of age and has three small children. She was married twice and her second hus- band deserted her because he objected to supporting the two children of her first husband. In court she was rep- resented by W. G. Runkle Esq., who presented a physician’s certificate to the effect that Mrs. Patterscn was a victim of tuberculosis of one lung and her health generally is not good. In addition to her three children she is the sole support of her 80-year-old mother. Judge Dale placed the wom- an on parole for four years on condi- tion that she pay the costs of the case. Mr. Hollobaugh, of Philipsburg, came before the court requesting a parole from the county jail, he having been arrested for failure to meet a court order to pay $30 a month to the support of his wife and child. His re- quest was made on the plea that he had a job awaiting him, and he also informed the court that he had insti- tuted divorce proceedings against his ‘wife on the grounds’ of” desertion and infidelity. The court granted the pa- role on condition that he contribute $30 a month to his wife and child un- til his action in divorce has been de- cided. Charles Marshella, of Rush town- ship, was charged with illégal posses- sion of intoxicating liquors, the infor- mation stating that when his store was raided by state police three bot- tles of moonshine and four barrels of wine were confiscated. Marshella con- tended that there was only one bottle of moonshine and one barrel of wine, but the court sentenced him to pay a fine of $200, costs of prosecution and serve from two to four month’s im- prisonment in the county jail. —————— eee aneeinfinie Mother’s Day Brings Message from Long Absent Son. Mother’s day services were observ- ed in all the churches in Bellefonte, and most of them in the county, on Sunday, with sermons and programs appropriate to the occasion, and be- cause of the reverence paid to mothers in general church attendance was larger than usual. Preceding Sunday many mothers received letters from absent sons and daughters who had not written home in months, and one Centre county woman, at least, received a telephone call from a son whom she has not twenty-three years. The woman in question was Mrs. C. M. Harter, of Jacksonville. In 1902 her son, Guy Clements, then a lad of 16 years, left home and started out to make his’ own way in the world. He has never been back for a visit. But on Sunday he called his mother on the long distance phone from Wichita, Kan., where he is now located and successfully con- ducting a plumbing establishment. Start Squirrel Colony on Campus. State After sixty red squirrels had been killed on the 200 acre campus of The Pennsylvania State College, seven big grey squirrels were liberated a few days ago to start a colony such as that which attracts much attention on the capitol grounds at Harrisburg. Women students had purchased eight of the grey squirrels, but one was killed in a fall before the group was placed in special box homes in the tops of campus trees. Students sup- ply nuts and other delicacies for the new campus pets in little boxes scat- tered about the spacious grounds. Penn State has one of the most beautiful campus grounds among the colleges of the State, and it is the hope of president John M. Thomas and profes- sor G. R. Green, head of the nature study department, to develop the squirrel colony to number a hundred or more animals. The killing of the red squirrels was necessary as the reds are more aggressive and usually drive off the greys. Well Baby Clinic at Milesburg. A Well Baby clinic will be held Monday afternoon in the Baptist Sun- day school room in Milesburg with Dr. LeRoy Locke, physican, and Miss Ethel Campbell, State Health Depart- ment nurse.

The team won from a field of schools represent- ing towns many times the size of Bellefonte. Forty-five schools were represented in the relays. Bellefonte: High was placed in Class A on ac- count of the team’s past performance this year. At the beginning of the race the following schools lined up against Bellefonte: Altoona, Alliance, (Ohio); Connellsville, Ford City, Harrisburg Tech, Latrobe, Lock Ha- ven, New Castle, Schenley High, Pittsburgh; and Akron, Ohio. The local High school drew second place from the pole. “Bunny” Emil was Coach Stock’s choice for the first lap. This proved to be a wise move, for “Bunny” took the lead at the first. turn and ran one more of his beauti- ful races, giving the team a ten yard lead. “Dutch” Waite was next to car- ry the baton for his team and showed his ability to run by increasing the lead a few yards. “Jim” McCullough took the baton from Waite and kept the lead given him by “Dutch” for the i1st half of the lap when he opened up and gave the team a few more yards lead. The last lap was run by the speedy captain of the team, “Jim’” Shope. When Shope broke the tape the nearest team was coming twenty yards back of him. The team had not simply outclassed all teams in the race, but had broken the interscholas- tic 4-5 mile relay record for that meet by 3 4-5 seconds. This means that each boy averaged 41 seconds for his fifth of a mile. The trophy and medals won have been on display at Zeller’s drug store this week and consist of a very beau- tiful silver cup and four gold medals. The cup will be the permanent trophy of the school and each of the runners gets a gold medal. The trip to Pittsburgh was made possible through the generosity of head master J. R. Hughes, of the Academy, who donated the use of his: Cadillac touring car and a driver to make the trip. The High school great- ly appreciates Mr. Hughes’ kind fa- vor, and the already warm feeling be- tween the High school and the Acade- my has greatly increased through his "splendid contribution. Aside from winning the race the trip was of great educational value to the boys. They took advantage of the privilege to visit the different schools which make up the Carnegie Institute. Saturday morning the boys were tak- en through the and on a tour o Shatzman, of the Academy. This week the team has been given ‘several practices by coach Stock to 'keep-the ‘boys in condition for the in- terscholastic meet at State College to- Morrow. fp fp tr 4 Married Themselves but Divorced by the Court. A dispatch from Media, Pa., under date of May 7th says: A marriage ceremony performed by themselves fourteen years ago was re= vealed yesterday in a divorce grant- ed by Judge Isaac Johnson to Mrs. Josephine M. Lucas, of Stonehurst, Pa., from Alpine Lucas, a real estate operator in St. Petersburg, Florida. Details of the wedding were given by Mrs. Lucas in her testimony be- fore a master who recommended that she be granted a divorce. The mas- ter’s report said the pair had gone to Wilmington, Delaware, in March, 1911, to be married, but arrived too late at night to obtain a license. They: then agreed to “marry” themselves, using a wedding ring and going through the ceremony, without a cler-- gyman. Mrs. Lucas’ testimony showed that: they believed themselves legally mar- ried and had purchased a home in Philadelphia, where they lived for some time. When the property was sold the proceeds were shared equal- ly. They separated six years ago, Lucas going to St. Petersburg. When he returned to Philadelphia in 1923 on a visit, notice of the divorce suit. was served on him. The Alpine Lucas referred to above was born at Kylertown, Clearfield county, and at one time lived in Phil~ ipsburg. Prior to going to Philadel- phia he worked for the Hayes Run. Firebrick company, at Orviston, and on several occasions hunted in the Al-- legheny mountains with the Panther Hunting club, of Bellefonte. When: the Hayes Run company opened an. eastern sales agency in Philadelphia “Piney” went to the city as one of the office force. The most interesting thing in connection with him, however, is the report that he has amassed a: fortune estimated at $300,000 through real estate investments in the six years he has been located at St. Pe- tersburg, Florida. e————— reese Grangers to Give Plays for Memorial.
