so responded. Dozens of motor cars

trians following "suit. In the mean-

ONE MAN ELECTROCUTED
ONE CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Ernest Sauers Killed at State College
and Ralph Sweetwood Crushed
by Oil Truck on Seven
Mountains.
Ernest Sauers, for a number of
vears past chief electrician at The
Pennsylvania State College, was elec-
trocuted shortly after seven o’clock
last Friday morning when he unthink-
ingly took hold of a high tension wire
carrying 2,200 volts of electricity. A
connecting link was being made be-
tween the lines of the Keystone Pow-
er corporation and those of the col-
lege plant, and at the request of col-
lege authorities the Keystone Power
turned on the current on Thursday
evening. On Friday morning when
Mr. Sauers went on duty he undertook
to complete the connection made the
previous day by covering the wires
with insulation and tape. He threw
the college switch and then, accord-
ing to report, tested the wire and dis-
covered it still alive. A few minutes
later he took hold of the heavily
charged wire and received the fatal
shock. Several physicians worked an
hout in an effort to resuscitate him,
but in vain.
The unfortunate man was a son of
Henry A. and Malinda Sortman Sau-
ers and was born at State College 42
years ago. He married Miss Bessie
Tressler who survives with four chil-
dren, Magdaline, Margarette, Louise
and William. He also leaves the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters:
ley Sauers, of Altoona; George, of
Philipsburg; H. W. and T. E., of State
College; Mrs. George Pritchard, of
4 Philipsburg, and Mrs. Elizabeth Saun-
ders, of Harrisburg.
He was a member of the Methodist
church and Rev. A. E. Mackey had
charge of the funeral services which
were held at 2:30 o’clock on Monday
afternoon, burial being made in the
Pine Hall cemetery.
HOW SWEETWOOD MET HIS DEATH.
Just about two hours after Mr.
Sauers met his death at State College
Ralph Sweetwood, of Potters Mills,
attempted to jump on one of the
big oiling trucks of the State High-
way Department, slipped and fell to
the ground, and was so badly crushed
beneath its ponderous weight that he
died at the Centre County hospital at.
two o’clock the same afternoon.
The young man was in the employ
of the Highway Department, his fath-
er, Edward Sweetwood, being foreman
of the Seven Mountain division of the
highway. They had started to oil
that section of the road, beginning at
the Sunset club and working this way.
Sweetwood, with other workmen,
had gone up the mountain in their
own car as far as Locust bridge, in-
tending to walk the remainder of the
distance but the big oil truck coming
along on its way from Centre Hall,
the young men undertook to jump on
and ride up. Missing his hold Sweet-
wood fell to the ground and the rear
wheel of the ponderous truck, which
v.eighed thirteen tons, passed over
his body, crushing one arm, his hips
and abdomen and one leg. He was’
brought to the Centre County hos-
pital as quickly as possible, but passed
away at two o’clock.
A son of Edward and Dora Weaver
Sweetwood he was born at Potters
Mills and would have been twenty-one
years old on May 17th. In addition
to his parents he is survived by the
following brothers and sisters: Mrs.
Charles Caskey, of Lock Haven; El-
sie, Homer, Naomi, Ray and Paul, all
at home.
Rev. C. E. Hazen, of the Methodist
church, had charge of the funeral
services which were held at ten o’clock
on Monday morning, burial being
made in the Sprucetown cemetery.

The William Chambers Home Badly
' Damaged by Fire.
The very comfortable home of Wil-
liam C. Chambers, on east Curtin
street, Bellefonte, was badly damag-
ed by fire, last Friday morning. The
flames evidently originated from a
spark on the roof and were discovered
by children on their way to school who
ran into the house and notified Mrs.
Chambers. Mr. Chambers was at his
work in the postoffice and he was no-
tified and an alarm sent in but by the
time the fire companies agrived the
entire roof was ablaze.
Mrs. Samuel Sheffer and Mrs. Cath-
erine McClellan occupied rooms on the
third floor and Mrs. Chambers noti-
fied them and they immediately came
down to the first floor, but they were
unable to save anything. The house
was three stories high. The first
story is brick and the balance of
frame construction. It was built by
Andrew Curtin and was purchased
from his heirs by Mr. Chambers
eighteen years ago. The roof and the
entire upper story were burned away,
while most of the interior as well as
the furnishings are considerably dam-
aged by water.
Mr. Chambers carried $4,000 insur-
ance on the building which will not be
sufficient to cover his loss. He and
Mrs. Chambers are living in two rooms
of their home in order to guard the
property against intrusion, while their
daughter Martha is staying at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Robb
and Mrs. Sheffer and Mrs. McClellean
are at the Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sheffer
home. Mr. Chambers is planning to
repair his house as quickly as possible.

ed at Cumberland, Md., last week to
John Meiford Horner and <Mabel
Greenwood Gearhart, both of State
College.
J. Wes- |
Owner Had Parked It. Recov-
ered Yesterday at State
College.
About three o’clock last Friday
zfternoon Van S. Jodon, superintend-
ent of maintenance of the Bellefonte
Central R. R., drove his new Moon
touring car up to the curb in front of
this office, left it standing there as
has been his daily custom, and pro-
ceeded to the offices of the company
on the second floor of the “Watch-
man” building. Less than an hour
later he went to use his car and it was
gone. Gone as completely as if the
earth had swallowed it up. Not a
sign of it anywhere on the street, nor
in any other part of town.
It scarcely seemed possible that in
broad daylight, on one of the busiest
spots in Bellefonte any one would
steal a conspicuous looking car like
Mr. Jodon’s but it was gone and hur-
ried calls to police, garages and fill-
ing stations on all roads leading out
of town failed to reveal any trace of
it further than that some people at
Axe Mann thought they had seen a
new Moon car passing there with one
man in it.
Gideon Payne, who was standing in
front of the Beatty Motor Co’s place
when Jodon parked, noticed him drive
up. He said that Mr. Jodon had
scarcely stopped when he noticed the
car back out and start up High strect.
| Of course he had no thought of its be-
ing stolen, but his statement proves
{ that the person who took it must have
been standing nearby when the own-
er stopped and got out. And why he
waited for this particular car when
the curbs on both sides of the street
were lined with others is a matter of
mystery. z
No further clue was found until
Saturday afternoon when Steve Mat-
tis, who lives on the John Haugh farm
near Scotia saw a car drive out of the
woods and into one of his fields. Ap-
parently the driver was lost, but as
Mattis started to offer help the car
was turned about and headed back in-
to the woods. Steve, thinking of the
possibility of prisoners escaped from
the pen, telephoned the chief of po-
lice here. Sunday morning Dukeman,
Jodon and several others went up and
found the tracks. They corresponded
exactly with the tracks of the tire on
the stolen car and Mattis’ description
of it convinced the men that it was the
Moon. There the trail was lost. Later
a woman at Gatesburg was positive
she had seen a Moon car go through
there and a little girl recalled that a
short, heavy set man with smooth face
and teeth noticeably gold-filled had
stopped and offered her a ride in a
car which she described perfectly as
being the one they were after.
The last trace was found at War-
riorsmark, where late in the evening
a Moon, occupied by one ’ i had
stopped and taken gas at a filling sta-
tion that had not been notified of the
theft at the time the other in that
place were.
There was some thought that a pris-
oner who had been discharged from
the pen Saturday morning might have
doesn’t tally at all with the man the
little girl saw in it. S30
THE CAR RECOVERED AT STATE
COLLEGE.
About 1:30 o’clock yesterday morn-
ing officer Mingle, of State College,
noticed two men in a Moon car stop
on the streets there. He went to in-
vestigate, but both the occupants
jumped and got away in the dark-
ness. ;
The car is standing in front of this
office now, little damaged, but wonder-
fully changed. Since last Friday the
thief had painted it black.
Evidently all of the clues mention-
ed above were imagination.
“Bagdad” Declared Best Picture Ever.
Douglas Fairbanks will be seen in
the marvelous Arabian Nights . tale,
“The Thief of Bagdad,” at the Pas-
time theatre State College, May 18,
19 and 20. It was, according to all
accounts, the great good fortune of
the screen, that Douglas Fairbanks
came upon this amazingly romantic
love story and that he undertook to
make it into a photoplay. Moving
picture critics, in such cities as “The
Thief of Bagdad” has been shown,
have been unanimous in asserting that
it is the greatest film ever made.
When it is considered that his story
departs from the affairs of every-day
life and soars off into dreamland; that
there has been visualized and made
real the soaring away of the Magic
Carpet over the house-tops and into
the sky; the Winged Horse, with the
Thief galloping off to and through the
clouds; the Magic Rope which the
Thief throws into the air and climbs
into the sky, up into all sorts of
places—it will be seen that “The Thief
of Bagdad” is no mere spectacle; no
mere bringing together of crowds to
appal the multitude. When a crowd
or even an army is desired, the Thief
simply takes a seed from a box,
throws it on the ground, and lo! a
huge army with banners springs from
the earth. This sort of thing is the
warp and woof of “The Thief of Bag-
dad.”

——Jack Tuylles, electrical engi-
neer on the eastern division of the
government airmail, is now in Belle-
fonte for the purpose of installing and
connecting up the lighting system at
the new aviation field. As most of
the fixtures are already in place it will
probably take a week to make the con-
nections and then the lights will be
thoroughly tested out.

| Thief Drove Off in Car Just After .
"At Commencement Exercises of Cen- !
FIVE NURSES GRADUATE.
tre County Hospital Training
School on Tuesday Evening.
Pearl Garbrick Clevenstine, Zion.
Alma Miriam Detwiler, Smullton.
Faye Gertrude Watson, Moshannon.
Jane Adaline Keller, Madisonburg.
Alta Myra Yarnell, Nigh Bank.
The five young ladies mentioned
above constituted the class of 1925
nurses who have completed their four ;
year’s course in the Centre County
hospital training school for nurses and
were awarded their diplomas at the
regular commencement exercises held
in the court house on Tuesday even-
ing. From personal observation we
feel assured that each and every one
is fully equipped and competeent to go
forth from their alma mater, carry-
ing care and comfort into the sick
room and ministering to those afflict-
ed and in distress.
The judges’ platform had been very
appropriately decorated with rhodo-
dendron, huge sprays of blossoming
dogwood and lilies of the valley, the
class flowers. It was 8:30 o'clock
when the class, preceded by members
‘of the hospital staff of physicians, the
superintendent and assistant super-
intendent, marched into the court
house. They were followed by ten
nurses and nurses in training, mem-
bers of the board of trustees, members |
of the nurses’ alumni association and
the woman’s auxiliary. The class
was seated on the platform. John
Blanchard Esq., presided and follow-
ing the invocation by Rev. Dr. Schmidt
~a ladies quartette composed of Mrs.
Krader, Miss Esther Johnson, Mrs.
Hazel Solt Emerick and Miss Rachel
Shuey sang a medley of catchy songs,
“being accompanied on the piano by
taken the car, but in appearance he |
' Miss Madaline Sunday.
In a brief talk Mr. Blanchard intro-
duced the speaker of the occasion,
Rev. William C. Thompson, of the
Presbyterian church. He began his
remarks by stating that the date for
the exercises had been selected by the
nurses because it was the 105th anni-
versary of the birth of Florence
Nightingale, to whom belonged the
credit of establishing the first train-
ing school for nurses and who elevat-
ed the profession from a calling that
had always been regarded with disre-
pute to one of the highest respecta-
bility and noble purposes.
Following Rev. Thompson’s address
Cecil Walker sang as a solo “Spring-
time,” after which Mr. Blanchard con-
ferred the diplomas and on behalf of
the women’s auxiliary presented each
of the graduates with the much covet-
ed pin, the nurses badge of her profes-
sion. Following the benediction by
Dr. Schmidt doctors, nurses, members
of the board of trustees and their
many friends tendered the graduates
an impromptu reception.
THE NURSE.
Who is the angel all in white
Watching so kindly day and night!
Who soothes our suffering and distress
And moves with mother-tenderness!
Why, that’s the nurse.
Ministering angel! sweet and calm
Her tender touch is like the balm,
Or like the sunset after-glow
Upon the sufferer’s aching brow,
The kindly nurse.
‘Who shares with us our aches and pains
And like a mother, ne’er complains!
As from the love-born flowers she brings
Healing and gladness on her wings
Why, that’s the nurse.
And like the Magdalene of old
So constant with a heart of gold,
She serves and watches to the end
And tarries like a mother-friend;
The faithful nurse.
She sweetens service with a smile
That we may sleep and rest awhile.
Softly and silent like the dew
She gives her life to comfort you,
The constant nurse.
I name her with the best there is,
A lily—or a mother’s kiss,
A ray of sunshine—or a star, 3
The Angel’s sister, and there you are,
The cheerful nurse. -
With tender care she watched our birth
And when the fevers of the earth
Burned on our brow, she came along
And mixed her potions with a song
The tender nurse.
And she shall come with us at last
‘When all the pains and pangs are past
To listen for the final breath
And kindly close our eyes in death.
God bless the nurse.
—Rev. D. Pugh Griffiths.
Bellefonte Chapter D. A. R.
The annual meeting of the Belle-
fonte Chapter D. A. R., for which Miss
Janet Potter and Mrs. H. Laird Cur-
tin were hostesses, was held at the
home of Miss Potter, on west Linn
street, Bellefonte, Thursday evening,
May 7th.
After the yearly reports had been
presented by the officers and commit-
tee chairmen, and delegates elected to
the State conference to be held in
Philadelphia next November, Mrs.
Edwin Erle Sparks gave a report of
the continental congress held in Wash-
ington in April, throwing light for the
home constituency upon the business,
social, educational, political (?) fea-
tures of the 1925 session. Mrs. Sparks
noted this year a free expression of
opinion on the part of individuals—a
feature surely commendatory of the
incumbency of the President-General,
Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, of Penn-
sylvania.
The further business of the meeting
was the election of officers, a full list
of which will be given after the con-
stitution day meeting next September,
following the summer recess.
Preceding the social hour the chap-
ter availed itself of the privilege of
recommending the endorsement of
Mrs. Edwin Erle Sparks for vice pres-
ident-General in 1926.

year. In the first place there are
more of the really funny minstrel
jokes to be cracked than in former
years, the music is catchier and pret-
tier, and the dancing and manoeuvr-
ing of the ends more clever than
usual.
The second part will introduce im-
ported talent of a clever and talented
type. Margaret Meckel, a fourteen
year old girl from near Pittsburgh,
a sister of an Academy student, who
has danced at the Davis and Nixon
theatres in that city, will give some
of her fancy and acrobatic dances.
Huberta Bernhardt, of Pittsburgh,
seven years of age, who made a big
hit at last year’s minstrels, with her
wonderful dances and character songs,
will be here again this year in new
dances. She has danced before im-
mense audiences in Pittsburgh. Ewing
and Ralph Kennedy, the crack dancers
of the State College “Thespians”,
will be on the program and entertain
with their clever steps as only the
Kennedy brothers can do. Cornelius
O’Donnell, the star dramatic leader of
State College, will not only be an end,
but put on other stunts, The step-
ping work of Herbert Beezer, the
startling ghost dance by Lynch and
Rush, the many little acts, incidental
stage effects, and the splendid nine
piece orchestra, all these features, it
can be plainly seen will produce a
program that can not be excelled.
The chart for Thursday’s perform-
ance will be open at Mott’s drug store,
Monday morning, May 18th, at ten
o'clock, and the chart for Friday's
performance will be open Friday
morning, May 22nd, at nine o’clock.
Be sure and see one of these shows.
The street parade on Thursday at
5-30 p. m. The annual minstrel dance
will be given at Bush Arcade hall,
Friday evening, May 22nd, from 11.30
to 3-30 Saturday. All dancers are
cordially invited. Music by Danny
Deever’s popular orchestra, of State
College.
C. Y. Wagner Injured in His Own Mili
Machinery.
C. Y. Wagner, head of the milling
firm of the same name in this place,
narrowly escaped losing his left foot
Monday morning when he got it
caught in the shaft of the corn crush-
er in the mill.
He was working at the machine
and undertook to kick the belt off.
Somehow his foot got fastened in the
shaft and his shoe ripped off, Fortu-
nately the shoe gave way, else hi:
foot might have been crushed. As it
was it was so severely bruised anc
sprained that he will have no use of
it for some time and is now only able
to get around by use of crutches.
Semin —— rs —————
——The regular sessions of the
May term of court will be held next
week and while there are no ver;
grave cases on the quarter sessions
list it will be interesting from the
fact that Judge Arthur C. Dale wil
preside for the first time over jury
cases. At the February term Judgc
Dale took very little part in the pro
ceedings, Judge Reader hearing the
quarter sessions cases and Judge
Miles I. Potter the civil list.
