A brief item in the Pleasant Gap correspondence in the “Watchman” last week referred to the retirement of county superintendent of public schools, David O. Etters, at the end of his present term, which will be in April, 1926. At that time he will have completed twenty-one years of contin- uous service in the office, which is a record never before equalled in Cen- tre county, and probably not in the en- tire State. But some years previous to his election for his first regular term he served two years and a half by appointment, which will give him twenty-three years and a half as the head of the schools in Centre county. While he doesn’t look it, Prof. Et- ters is in his seventieth year, and as he began teaching at quite an early age he has given fifty years of his life to educational work. He taught two years before going to State College where he took a four year’s course, and since his graduation there in 1881 has taught about every grade of school in the county. He was princi- pal of the High school in Bellefonte and later superintendent of the Belle- fonte schools. And now he has reach- ed that point in life where he has de- cided to retire, and when the time for the election of his successor rolls around there is likely to be a mad scramble for the office. In fact five avowed candidates are already in the field as Supt. Etters’ successor. They are the assistant county superintendent F. Milford Pletcher, of Howard; H. C. Rothrock, of Port Matilda, who has at various times .nade a try at the coveted goal; Prof. L. E. Baird, of Pleasant Gap; Mr. Rogers, of Nittany, and John B. Payne, of Bellefonte. Dairymen to Meet at Millheim. A meeting of Centre county dairy- men will be hld in the Municipal theatre, at Millheim, this evening at 8.30 o’clock. It is to be under the di- rection of the Sheffield Farms Co., Inc., the corporation that has lately been acquiring the milk receiving stations in Centre county and thereby evidencing its intention of construc- tive interest in developing the great dairy possibilities of the county.

Pennsylvania for the adjudication as bankrupts (a) of himself, (b) of a partnership styled the Centre County Banking Company, in which he and the present petitioners, Meek, Dale and Breeze, hereinafter called the de- fendants, were alleged to be members, and (c) of the defendants individual- ly. The defendants resisted the peti- tion in so far as it sought to have the partnership and themselves ad- judged bankrupts, and moved to dis- miss it to that extent. Orders deny- ing these motions were entered by the District Court; and these, on pe- titions to revise, were affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals. 292 Fed. 116. Writs of certiorari were then granted. 263 U. S. 696. : Thereafter, but before the hearing in this Court, Shugert died. The de- fendants then moved in this Court that the proceeding in bankruptcy be dismissed as to them, both individual- ly and as members of the partner- ship, on the ground that to that ex- tent it abated by Shugert’s death. Finding the petition to be in this as- pect an involuntary and antagonistic proceeding, and there being then no adversary party before the court, we granted leave to any persons claim- ing to be representatives of Shugert’s interest to appear within thirty days and apply for leave to be admitted as parties for the purpose of continuing the proceeding in his stead; stating that if this were done the question whether the proceeding should be dis- missed as to the partnership and the defendants, or continued as to them by such representatives, would then be determined. Meek v. Centre Coun- ty Bank, supra, p. 504. Thereafter the administrator of Shugert’s estate seasonable appeared and applied for leave to be substituted in Shugert’s place as the petitioner in the bank- ruptey proceeding. The defendants renewed their motions to dismiss; and the cases have been heard both on this preliminary issue and on the merits of the controversy. The first question to be determined is whether Shugert’s death before an adjudication had been made under the petition, abated the bankruptcy pro- ceeding as against the partnership, and the individual defendants, or whether it may be continued against them by the administrator of his estate. When either of the parties in any suit in any court of the United States dies before final judgment, the executor or administrator of such deceased party may, in case the cause of action survives by law, prosecute or defend the suit to final judgment. Rev. Stat. Sec. 956. In: Schreiber v. Sharpless, 110 U. S. 76, 80, a suit on a fedéral penal statute,:.in which: the defendant had died before judgment, it was held that whether an action survives and may be continued under this section “depends on the substance of the cause of action”; and that, sinee at common law actions on penal statutes do not survive and Congress had not established any other rule in respect to actions on federal penal statufs, the cause of action died with the person of the defendant and the suit could not be continued against his personal representative. We do not think, however, that the doctrine of this case applies to an involuntary proceeding in bankruptcy. Such a proceeding, not being in the nature of a common law action, is not abated by any rule of the common law. And while there is no express provision in the Bankruptcy Act 1 that the cause of action survives the death of a petitioner before adjudica- tion, we think that such survivorship accords with the “substance of the cause of action” and the nature and purpose of a proceeding in bankruptcy, which is not a mere personal action. but is essentally in the nature of a proceeding in rem for the benefit of all the defendant’s creditors. And the fil- ing of the petition brings his property into custodia legis, with a view to a de- termination of his status and the set- tlement and distribution of his estate. Acme Harvester Company v. Beekman Lumber Company, 222 U. S. 300, 307; Lazarus v. Prentice, 234 U. S. 263, 266. We conclude that an administrative proceeding of this character, in which the property of the defendant is impounded for the benefit of all of his creditors, does not abate because of the death of the petitioner before ad- judication and that its prosecution may be continued by his personal representative. The motions of the defendants to dismiss the proceeding by reason of Shugert’s death are ac- cordingly denied; and the administra- tor is granted leave to be substituted as the petitioner in the proceeding and to prosecute it in his stead. 2. This brings us to the considera- tion, on the merits, of the motions made by the defendants in the Dis- trict Court to dismiss Shugert’s peti- tion in so far as it sought the adjudica- tion of the partnership and of them- selves as bankrupts. The petition combined, in an anomalous and modi- fied fashion, a “debtor’s petition” and a “partnership petition” (Bankruptcy Forms, Nos. 1 and 2,) with other averments. In it Shugert alleged that the partnership was insolvent and owed debts in excess of $1,000; that each of the partners was insolv- ent and they were unable, jointly or severally, to pay the partnership debts; that he and the partnership were willing to surrender their prop- erty for the benefit of their creditors and desired to obtain the benefits of the bankruptcy law; and that the de- fendants had not offered to join in the petition and he was not informed of their intention in the matter. It did not allege that either the partnership or the defendants had committed any act of bankruptcy. The prayer was that Shugert, the partnership, and the defendants individually, be adjudged bankrupt; that process be served upon the defendants; and that proceedings be had as provided by the bankruptcy law and General Order No. 8. The defendants, who appeared specially, moved to dismiss the peti- tion as against the partnership and themselves on the grounds, among others, that it was not authorized by the Bankruptcy Act and that the court had no authority under it to adjudge either the partnership or non-consent- own adjudication in bankruptcy. ing partners bankrupt. 2 The orders of the District Court denying these motions were affirmed with “the 'Cir- cuit Court of Appeals on the ground that the petition was maintainable under sec. 5 of the Bankruptcy Act and General Order No. 8. Section 5 of the Bankruptcy Act specifically provides that “A partner- ship, during the continuation of the partnership business, or after its dis- solution and before the final settle- ment thereof, may be adjudged a bankrupt.” There hence can be no doubt that a partnership may be ad- judged a bankrupt as a distinct legal entity. But since the Act does not specify when it may be adjudged a bankrupt, to determine this question reference must be had to the general provisions of the Act, in which, in ac- cordance with Sec. 1 (19) the word “persons” is to be construed as in- cluding partnerships.” The Act makes provision for only two kinds of peti- tions upon which a person may be adjudged bankrupt; one, a voluntary petition filed by him; the other, an in- voluntary petition filed against him by creditors. As to the first, it is provided that any qualified person, except certain specified corporations, may file a petition to be adjudged a voluntary bankrupt, sections 4, 59 a; and as to the second, that creditors having provable claims of a specified amount against an insolvent debtor who has committed an act of bank- ruptcy within the preceding four months, may file a petition $0 have him adjudged a bankrupt, sections 3b, 59b. As there is no other provision authorizing the filing -of ia petition in bankruptcy, it necessarily results that there is no authority under the Act to adjudge a partnership bankrupt except upon its own voluntary peti- tion or upon an involuntary petition filed against it by creditors; and none to make such an adjudication upcen a petition filed against it by one of its members. There is nothing in sec. 5¢ of the Bankruptcy Act, upon which the ad- ministrator relies, that has any ap- plication to this question. It merely provides that the court of bankruptcy which has jurisdiction of one of the parties may have jurisdiction of all the partners and of the administration of the partnership and individual property; that is, it goes solely to the question of venue or jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court with reference to its territorial limits. See Sec. 2. And the decision in Francis V. Me- Neal, 228 U. S. 695, only involved the question whether in a bankruptcy proceeding in which a partnership had been adjudged bankrupt under an in- voluntary petition filed against it by creditors, the court might administer the separate estate of a partner who had not been adjudged bankrupt in- dividually. It is clear that the present petition cannot be sustained as the voluntary petition of the partnership for its It was filed and signed by Shugert alone, as the sole petitioner. It did not pur- port to be filed by the partnership, and was not signed by it or in its Le- half. And while there was an inci- desired to obtain the benefit’ of bankruptcy law, there was no allega- tion that this statement was author- ized by the partnership. On the con- trary it was shown that the other partners had not joined in the peti- tion and that their intention in refer- ence to the matter was not known. In short, the petition was framed as an involuntary petition against the part- nership and its non-consenting mem- bers, and its sufficiency must be tested as such. We are therefore not called upon to determine whether a voluntary petition filed in the name of the partnership by one member of the firm purporting to act in its be- half, could be sustained without an affirmative showing that it was filed at the instance or with the consent of the other partners. It is also clear that the petition can- not be sustained as an involuntary petition filed against the partnership under the provisions of the Bank- ruptey Act, since it was not filed by creditors, the only persons authorized to file such a petition, and further- more did not allege that the partner- ship had committed an act of bank- ruptey. It is earnestly insisted, however, that the right of a partner to file such a petition against the partner- ship is recognized by General Order in Bankruptcy No. 8. This General Order provides that any member of a partnership who refuses to join in a petition to have the partnership de- clared bankrupt shall be entitled to resist the petition in the same manner as if it had been filed by a creditor of the partnership; that notice shall be given to him as in the case of a debtor petitioned against; that he shall have the right to appear at the hearings and make proof that the partnership is not insolvent and has not committed an act of bankruptcy, and make all defences which any debtor proceeded against might make; and that if an adjudication of bank- ruptcy is made upon the petition, such partner shall file a schedule of his debts and inventory of his proper- ty as required in cases of debtors against whom an adjudication is made. 172 U. S.,, Appendix, p. 656. It is supplemented by Bankruptcy Form No. 2, providing for a petiticn by less than all the members of a firm, alleging that they and the other partners owe debts which they are unable to pay in full, and that the petitioners desire to obtain the benefit of the Bankruptcy Act; and praying that the firm be adjudged bankrupt. 172 U. S., Appendix, p. 679. It is clear that this General Order and Form contemplate that less than all the members of a partnership may file a petition for its adjudication as a bankrupt, witi:out alleging either that it is insolvent or that it has commit- ted an act of bankruptcy, and that any member of the partnership who refuses to join in the petition may resist it in the same manner as if the petition had been filed by a creditor. In seeking to have the partnership adjudged bankrupt as against the non-consenting partners resisting such an adjudication, it is manifestly an involuntary proceeding. Meek v. Centre County Bank, supra. p. 502. The question of the effect of this dental averment that the Darinershis General ‘Order and “Form are now for ‘the first time presented for determination. © mm to this court The authority conferred upon this court by sec. 30 of the Bankruptcy Act to prescribe all necessary rules, forms and orders as to pro- cedure and for carrying the Act into effect, is plainly limited to provisions for the execution of the Act itself, and does not authorize ad- ditions to its substantive provisions. West Company v. Lea, 174 U. S. 590, 599. And see Orcutt Company v. Green, 204, U. S. 96, 102. General Order No. 8 was evidently taken from a like general order under the Bankruptcy Act of 1867, of which it is the main transcript; and Form No. 2 is largely a copy of a corres- ponding form prescribed under said earlier Act. 4. The Act of 1867, how- ever, while not providing that a part- nership could be adjudged a bankrupt as a separate entity, expressly pro- vided that its property should be taken and administered in cases “where two or more persons who are partners in trade shall be adjudged bankrupt, either on the petition of such partners or any one of them, or on the petition of any creditors of the partners.” 14 Stat. 517, ¢. 176, Sec. 36. The former general order and form were, therefore, appropriate methods i of prccedure for carrying into effect ; the provision as to petitions by one of the partners. In the present Act, however, there is no corresponding provision for adjudging a partnership bankrupt or administering its proper- “the ‘petition;-of . one. of the partners. General Order No. 8 and in purporting ‘to authorize one or less than all of the partners to file a petition against the partnership without the consent of the others, do not relate to the execution of any of the provisions Form No. 2, of the Act itself; and therefore are | without statutory warrant and of no effect. We conclude that Shugert’s petition was not maintainable against the partnership. And, a fortiori, it was not maintainable as an involuntary petition against the non-consenting partners individually. The motions made by the defen- dants in the District Court to dismiss the petition as against the pertner- ship and themselves individually should have been granted. The decree of the Circuit Court of Appeals is ac- cordingly reversed, and the cause re- manded to the District Court for further proceedings in conformity to this opinion. DECREE REVERSED. NOTES. 1.

The best evidence that the annual Academy minstrel performance of 1925 was a good one is seen in the fact that the audience that greeted it the second night was much larger than that of the first. . The singing was much above that of former productions, the comedy snap- py and well put over and the special- ties very clever. Among the latter the dancing acts by Huberta Bern- hardt, the dainty seven year old danseuse, and Margaret Meckel, of Pittsburgh, and the Kennedy Bros., of State College, were outstanding and would have been creditable perform- ances for professionals. We regret that the lack of space this week precludes comment on the songs and the work of the ends, which was so meritorious, but must devote a line to that of Herbert Beezer, who has developed to the point of clever- ness as an amateur black face artist where he ranks with the best the town has ever had. He always could dance, ‘has a fair singing voice but was han- dicapped by timidity, much of which The minstrels were repeated at Rockview penitentiary on Monday night. RE Curb Market Meeting. Plans are well under way for the reorganization of the Bellefonte curb market to be held on the Diamond this season. The organization meet- ing will be held in the grand jury room of the court house this (Friday) evening, May 29th, at 7:45. The ag- ricultural committee of the Associat- ed Business Men will conduct the meeting, and it is earnestly hoped that all those persons who expect to sell produce at the market will attend. The main object of getting together at this time is to organize a Centre county curb market association which will regulate stands on the market, setting prices, and the general con- duct of the market. John B. Payne, chairman of the committee, states that it is the wish of the burgess, town council and the Associated Business Men, that the farmers and truckers have their own organization and conduct the business of marketing themselves. If at all possible attend this meeting tonight if you are interested. ——John Mileskie, a Russian Pc’e 34 years old, of Cambria county, wus electrocuted at Rockview on Monday morning for the murder in May, 1922, of his boarding house mistress, Mrs. Annie Turcyz. Mileskie, accompanied by Rev. Father Angelus, of State Col- lege, went to the chair with apparent unconcern as to his fate. Nine min- utes after the first contact Mileskie was pronounced dead by Dr. New- combe, His body was buried in the penitentiary cemetery. ‘Roadside Produce Mar kets Advocated by County Farm Agent. A month ago the Business Men’s as- sociation, of Bellefonte, decided to sponsor the movement for the revival of the old-time curb market here and were encouraged by promises from a number of produce growers to attend, but so far nothing has been done. Now county farm agent R. C. Blaney is advocating roadside produce mar- kets throughout the county. He asserts that the roadside market is destined to play a very prominent part in their marketing problems, in the opinion of farmers and others liv- ing along the highways in Centre county. In these days of a large vol- ume of travel by automobile farmers are accessible to the hundreds of peo- ple who daily use the improved high- ways for both business and pleasure. And this opens up a splendid opportu- nity for the sale of farm fruits and produce of all kinds. The most successful followers of roadside marketing as a method of disposing of their farm, orchard and garden produce have found certain | points, such as location, arrangement, high quality, : graded product, neatly arranged and i home grown produce, to be very im- portant guides to success. When the market is set back off the road far enough to permit parking of cars and still spenformato: State:laws, it. invites business. ‘Then, too, the arrangement. of the fruit and vegetables in a neat and orderly manner of sufficient quan- tity offers a market equal in attrac- tion to the best urban community stores. Advertising the sale of farm pro- duce from a roadside market is receiv- ing too little attention. Readable signs bearing short, catchy state- ments, should be located from 300 to 350 yards from the market on both sides, and be placed perpendicular to the highways so that the passing mo- torists may easily interpret them. “Fresh fruit just ahead,” is a catchy sign. The first part indicates the product and arouses interest, and the words “just ahead” prepares the mo- torist for the market in the immedi- ate distance.

At the annual meeting of the Sus- quehanna Synod of the Lutheran church, held at Jersey Shore last week, a resolution was adopted that hereafter the sum of $1,500 be named as the minimum salary to be accepted i Synod, and that beginning with 1926 a table be appended to the minutes setting forth the salary paid by every church. : i Revs. L.

All the old officers and members of the executive committee of the Synod were re-elected. The Hollobaugh Dinner to the Champions. E. L. Hollobaugh is making plans to have the coming complimentary dinner to the champion Bellefonte High relay team something more than a mere gustatorial foray. It will be a real function. All who go are to as- semble in the Diamond, which will be roped off so that pictures can be tak- en. Then the caravan will move to the Nittany tea room where the even- boned-roast chicken and waffles, with all the other good things that con- tribute to a feast will be served. The High school colors will be in evidence in the decorations and in design of the desserts to be served. The dinner will be served next Thursday evening, June 4, but it is im- perative that those who wish to go advise Mr. Hollobaugh, either in per- son or by card to box 263, Bellefonte, by May 30th so that proper reserva- tions can be made.

Roy Auman, fifteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Auman, who live | about two miles west of Coburn, in | Penn township, met a tragic death in Milton about 5:30 o’clock last Wednes- day evening. He had gone to Milton {on Tuesday to visit his sister, Mrs. | William Mull. Late Wednesday after- noon he started out on a bicycle to | make the rounds of the town and at the intersection of two streets ran in- to a car driven by Joseph D. Fox. The {lad was catapulted head first through the windshield of the car, the body “hanging limp across-the frent of the machine. Mr. Fox helped the boy from the car and he staggered to the curb where he sank to the ground and bled to death before medical assistancé could be obtained. Jagged pieces of the broken windshield had punctured ‘the jugular vein as well as arteries in “the boy’s neck. “The driver of the car , was exonerated of blame. A number of years ago a brother of . the unfortunate youth was shot while ' gathering chestnuts in a tree near his home and the murderer was never dis- covered. Young Auman is survived by his | parents and a number of brothers and | sisters. His remains were taken to “his home in Penn township where fu- i neral services were held on Saturday, burial being made in the Georges Val- ley cemetery. Former Bellefonte Woman Speaks at Schenectady. | | From a recent edition of the Sche- nectady, N. Y., Gazette, we learn that. | Mrs. Jchn W. Harper has become : quite prominent in Sunday school {work in he Empire State. Mrs. | Harper, as many of our readers know, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James { K. Barnhart, of Linn St., Bellefonte. Her husband, also a former Belle- ! fonter, is with the General Electric , Co., at Schenectady, and their home is there so that Mrs. Harper:has been giving generously of her time to Sun- day school work, with which she was so closely identified in her earlier life in the Methodist church here. Her subject before the general con- vention of Sunday schools was “The Shoes, Ships and Sealing Wax of the Children’s Service of Worship.” Of her the Gazette says: Mrs. Harper is superintendent of the children’s division of the county association and will bring a message out of wide experience as a teacher of children. Graduating from Mount. Holyoke College with the degree of bachelor of arts, she taught for sev- eral terms in schools of Pennsylvania among children of primary and high school ages. In 1922, she gave a course in primary methods in the Schenectady county school of relig- ious education. She has been a regu- lar contributor to “The Church School” and the “Sunday School Worker,” publications which were later merged into the “International Journal of Religious Education.” She: has recently been engaged to con- tribute to a Methodist publication of national prominence. On the lecture platform Mrs. Har- per is well known in other parts of the State, having lectured in so - eral counties on ‘primary and c:ii- dren’s division methods. Much of her work has been done by giving actual demonstrations, and in this field par- ticular’ y she is most convincing and successful. e——— eevee. ——Miss Betty Glenn, a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas O.
