Electrocutions in Pennsylyania Num-
* ber 140"'Men.'
Every few weeks some unfortunate
individual is put to death in the chair:
at the Rockview penitentiary and it
might be of interest to many people
to know that since electrocution was
made the legal mode of death for mur-
derers in Pennsylvania just 140 men
have gone to the chair. The Legisla-
ture of 1913 passed the electrocution
bill and the first one took place on
February 23rd, 1915. That same year
four others were electrocuted. In
1916 thirteen men were electrocuted
and the same number in 1917. In
1918 there were eighteen, in 1919
nine, 1920 nineteen, 1921 eleven. The
year 1922 saw the largest number go
to the chair, twenty-seven. In 1923
there were six, 1924 twelve and seven
so far this year.
The unfortunate individuals came
from thirty-eight counties in the
State. Allegheny county sent the
largest number, 21; Dauphin was next
with 13 and Philadelphia 12. Lancas-
ter sent 7, Erie 6, Cambria, Fayette
and Lackawanna each 5; Beaver, Law-
rence and Blair 4 each; Clarion, Del-
a . Northumberland, Schuylkill
and Somerset 3 each; Adams, Berks,
/Carbon, Cumberland, Lehigh, Luzerne,
Montgomery, Northampton, Washing-
ton and Wyoming 2 each, while one
each came from Bedford, Bradford,
Bucks, Butler, Chester, Clearfield,
Crawford, Jefferson, Lebanon, Venan-
go and: York counties.
Twenty-nine counties in the State |
were not represented in the number
of murderers electrocuted, Centre
county being one of them. It might
also be interesting to know that in ad-
dition to the number electrocuted thir-
ty-nine men convicted of murder in
the first degree and for whom death
warrants had been issued, were later
granted commutation by the board of
pardons and are now serving life im-
prisonment sentences. Fully one-half
of the men electrocuted were buried
in the penitentiary cemetery at Rock-
view.
Big Picnic at State College.
Every organization in State Col-
lege, business, civic and church, is
making preparations to lend its aid
and support to a big community pic-
pic to be held at that place on July
30th. Every citizen in the county,
large, small and intermediate, with
their children and grand-children, un-
cles and aunts, and all other relations
are invited. It means everybody.
Take a basket. Therelll be a big bas-
ket lunch in the beautiful college
woods. Committees have been ap-
pointed to furnish music as well as
games and sports of all sorts for all
sorts of people, even fat people. In-
stead of a glorius Fourth of July it is
going to be a glorious Thirtieth of
July. Every one is assured of a good
time. Pack up your basket, turn on
the spark and drive your Ford, Chevey
or Packard to State College on July
30th. +
Hecla Park Now Leads the League.
Hecla Park jumped into first place
in the Centre county baseball league
this week by winning both its games
during the week while Bellefonte won

On Thursday of last week Hecla de-
feated Millheim by the score of 8 to 1.
The Bellefonte-State College game

On Saturday Bellefonte and Mill-
heim played a double header, Mill-
heim winning the first game 3 to 0
and Bellefonte the second 10 to 4.
Hecla defeated State College 6 to 4,
which put her at the top of the league.

Centre County Gasoline Dealers De-
linquent.
It is the purpose of the Auditor
General’s Department to make an ex-
amination and strict inspection of
every gasoline tank in Centre county.
We have 128 dealers and many of
them are delinquent in remission of
the State’s share of the gasoline tax.
All dealers in gasoline, or intended
dealers, must first of all apply to the
State fire marshal for a permit for the
installation of gasoline tanks, etc.
The dealer must then file with the
Auditor General, on a form prescrib-
ed and furnished by the Department,
a certificate setting forth that he in-
tends to transact business in the State
of Pennsylvania, the place where his
business will be located, etc. Failure
to do this may be followed by a fine
not exceeding $1,000.
Many of the gasoline dealers are in
default and have retained thousands
of dollars which belong to the Com-
monwealth. Wherever possible, Aud-
itor General Martin will collect all the
money and insist upon a strict ac-
countability of the dealers of the
State. Failure on the part of a deal-
er to make his gasoline return quar-
terly will subject him to a penalty of
ten per cent. upon the amount he neg-
lected to return. Where the dealer
does not return tax collected he is
guilty of withholding public monies
and a prosecution will be entered, and
upon conviction he may be sentenced
to a fine not exceeding $1,000 or to un-
Jergo imprisonment of six months, or
a
