man Week” at The Pennsylvania
State College, a special booklet has

tember 9th.
——According to the survey just
completed by the State Department of
Agriculture there are 2263 farms in
Centre county, with 5737 male and
5,104 female occupants. Of these
1498 are owners and 782 tenants. In
1924 there were 27,159 acres in wheat,
1,044 acres in rye and 19,473 acres in

caped injury.
—— Governor Pinchot is scheduled
to make a tour of the State this fall

stitutions and holding conferences

county. He will start on his trip next
Tuesday and his conference in Belle-
fonte will likely be confined to Judge
Dale, as he is the only Pinchot ap-
pointed official in town.
After twenty-five years of serv-
ice as manager of the Atlantic Refin-
ing company plant in Bellefonte, L.
H. Wion will retire on September first.
Mr. Wion is probably the only man in
Centre county who has filled but two
jobs in forty-six years. Prior to becom-
ing manager of the Atlantic Refining
company he was boss farmer on the
Beaver farm east of town, where he
was located twenty-one years.
Frank M. Derstine, fourteen
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Derstine, of Juniata, and grandson of
Mrs. William Derstine, of Bellefonte,
fell from a shade tree on the street
near his home, on Monday afternoon
and broke his right arm below the el-
bow and dislocated both wrists, as
well as sustaining lacerations of the
head and various bruises. While the
injuries are not of a critical nature
they are serious enough to keep him
housed up most of the time during the
remainder of his vacation.
——Mrs. Guy Coll was reported by
the “Watchman” last week as having
petitioned the court to have the allow-
ance of $10.00 a month now being
paid her by Mr. Coll, for the support
of their child, increased to $40.00 per
month. We were in error in stating
that Mrs. Coll had petitioned for that
amount. Her attorney stated that
such a sum would be satisfactory, but
Mrs. Coll had fixed no figure. All she
wanted was enough to provide proper-
ly for her child and feels that $10 is
too little for such a purpose.
——“Rash” Williams was called be-
fore the court, on Saturday morning,
on account of having broken the pa-
role granted him on May 17th. At
that time he entered a plea to the
charge of larceny and the court sus-
pended sentence on condition that he
would refrain from strong drink, re-
imburse the Potter-Hoy Hardware
company for articles stolen and pay
the costs in the case. Since that time
he has broken faith on several occa-
sions and last Friday was again
placed under arrest.” On the plea of
giving him one more chance the court
extended the parole but warned him
that the next time he was brought be-
fore him he would be given the limit.
ESCAPING PRISONERS
COSTLY BUSINESS
FOR CENTRE COUNTY.
Constant Tap on Centre’s Till Runs
Up Big Sum, Not Half of
Which Has Been Repaid.
The State of Pennsylvania has a
standing reward of fifty dollars for
the recapture, or any information
which will lead to the recapture of
every prisoner who escapes from a pe-
nal institution within the bounds of
the Commonwealth, and the money is
promptly paid when the claim is le-
gitimate.
But every prisoner who escapes
from the Rockview penitentiary
means a tap on the Centre county till
to the tune of over one hundred dol-
lars and the till has been tapped so
often that it is now out of time to the
extent of $2854.78. In other words
that is the net amount due Centre
county from other counties in the
State for court costs and transporta-
tion of their escaped prisoners to the
western penitentiary in Pittsburgh.
When the Rockview penitentiary
was located in Centre county no
thought was given to escaping prison-
ers, but after several had escaped and
been recaptured it developed that un-
der the law they had to be accorded a
hearing before the court of the county
in which the prison was located, and
inasmuch as there was no law provid-
ing otherwise Centre county had to
bear the court costs and their trans-
portation back to Pittsburgh. The un-
justness of this was plainly evident
and the Legislature of 1913 passed an
act providing that all such costs
should be paid by the county from
which an escaping prisoner had orig-
inally been sent. But unfortunately
the Legislature failed to incorporate
any provision compelling such reim-
bursement.
The result was that some counties
paid the bills when certified to them
by the proper officials of Centre coun-
ty while others flatly refused to pay a
cent. In the meantime Centre coun-
ty’s claims were growing higher and
higher and finally the Legislature of
1925 passed a bill amending the act of
1913 by inserting a provision that suit
can be instituted against counties to
compel the payment of such claims.
As stated at the beginning of this
article the average cost to Centre
county of escaped prisoners is a little
in excess of one hundred dollars. The
smallest expense noted for one pris-
oner was $57.90, and the highest
$223.98. Seventeen counties in the
State are represented in the list of es-
caped prisoners, six of which have
paid their bills in full, as follows:
Lycoming, $57.94; Westmoreland,
$323.87; Cumberland, $100.26; Phila-
delphia, $293.82 (which does not in-
cludé the two prisoners who escaped
last week, for which no bill has yet
been rendered;) Perry, $57.90, and
Washington, $111.36. Four counties
have paid a portion of their bills,
namely: Cambria, $467.30 on a bill of
$929.64; Erie, $85.10 on a bill of $222.-
21; Clearfield, $14.00 on a bill of
$227.22, and Allegheny, $223.98 on a
bill of $652.91.
The seven counties which have not
paid a cent and the bills against them
are McKean, $286.50; Mercer, $247.-
24; Lawrence, $525.74; Carbon, $98.-
51; Jefferson, $112.61; Monroe, $122.-
36, and Mifflin, $219.72.
All told Centre county has paid out
$4590.31 and been reimbursed to the
extent of $1735.53, leaving a balance
of $2854.78 on the wrong side of the
ledger.
New Lights Installed on Bellefonte
Streets.
The ornamental street lighting
equipment which recently has been in-
stalled on High and Allegheny streets,
Bellefonte, to replace the old flame
burning arcs, is of the most modern
design. The lantern type tops which
have been installed represent the lat-
est type of ornamental street light-
ing equipment, as is evident by the
fact that the council at Chicago, Illi-
nois, recently installed 300 of these
particular units along Sheridan Road.
Recent installations at State College
and Ridgway show that these units
are well adapted for the smaller com-
munities.
With the use of the bi-lux refractor
and the lantern type heads which have
been installed, 500 candle power of
light has been saved. The light from
the old flame burning arcs was equiva-
lent to 1500 candle power light while
in the new heads there are 1000 can-
dle power incandescent lamps.
The Keystone Power Corporation
has installed as a matter of safety,
special disconnecting type pot heads
in the bottom of the post. With this
type of pot head the post is automat-
ically disconnected without interrup-
tion to the rest of the lighting system
in case of an accident. An example
would be—in case the post is knocked
from the foundation this disconnect-
ing type of pot head immediately dis-
connects the lead wires from the base
of the post to the head which makes
the post absolutely free from any elec-
trical connections.
In addition to making the changes
of the ornamental system, the Key-
stone Power Corporation is revamp-
ing the entire overhead lighting sys-
tem.
——At a session of court on Wed-
nesday testimony for the plaintiff was
taken in the equity case of Watson vs.
Kelly, of Snow Shoe township. Testi-
mony for the defendant will be taken
later, Argument was held yesterday
in the case of Cullan vs. Rowland, an
action in trespass.
Three More Prisoners Break Away
from Rockview.
Eastern Pennsylvania law breakers
evidently do not appreciate the advan-
tages of a prison life at Rockview, as
they are continually taking advantage
of every opportunity to escape and the
three who left the penitentiary on
Tuesday went away in style, as they
stole the head gardener’s Oakland
coupe and used it to put distance be-
tween themselves and the peniten-
tiary. :
The men were Robert McWilliams,
of Philadelphia, 18 years of age, serv-
ing six to eight years for robbery;
John Sharp, Philadelphia, aged 22
years, serving five to ten years. Hen-
ry Snyder, Luzerne county, aged 19
years, serving five to ten years.
The three men had planned their es-
cape to a nicety. Sharp and Snyder
were employed on the big cell block,
which is inside the wire stockade.
McWilliams was employed at the
stone quarries, which is outside the
stockade but on Tuesday morning he
made a good excuse and was kept in-
side the stockade at light work.
Some time between ten and eleven
o'clock on Tuesday morning Sharp
and Snyder went to an outside toilet
built close to the barbed wire stock-
ade. There they met McWilliams and
under cover of the toilet building cut
a hole in the barbed wire and crawled
through. Right outside stood the
Oakland coupe of B. Allen Rockwell,
head gardener. Before being sent to
the penitentiary Sharp was employed
as a chauffeur and his vocation came
in handy at this time. The three men
piled into the car and quickly left the
prison grounds, going west toward
Lemont.
Their escape was not discovered un-
til an hour later and when an investi-
gation showed they had stolen the
gardener’s.car penitentiary officers en-
deavored to head them off by tele-
phone. But nobody at Lemont, State
College, Pine Grove Mills, nor points
west of that had recognized a car of
the description given. The car bore
license tags No. 454,291, and it was
hoped that through the tags the es-
caped prisoners might be identified.
Penitentiary authorities, however,
have succeeded in getting trace of a
car which they feel certain was the
stolen coupe containing the escaped
prisoners. It went by way of Lemont
and the Branch road to Pennsylvania
Furnace, crossed the Barrens into
Halfmoon valley and then, instead of
turning to the left went to the right
and came down Buffalo Run valley to
Bellefonte, passing through here about
four o’clock in the afternoon, just
about the time word of the escape was
telephoned here from the penitentiary.
The men did not stop here but went
down to Milesburg and turned east,
down Bald Eagle valley. The trail
was lost at Mt. Eagle. By the time
word of the escape reached there the
men had gone, but several people, ac-
cording to reports, recall having seen
a car bearing license tags 454,291 pass
through the village.

Big Sunday Schou! Rally at Camp
Kenesataka.
Arrangements have been made to
have a big rally of the Sunday schools
of Centre county at camp Kenesatake,
at Spruce Creek, on Sunday afternoon,
August 9th. A cordial invitation is
extended by the Centre county asso-
ciation to all the schools to be largely
represented. It will be a fine oppor-
tunity for everybody to see the camp
and realize the work that is being
done there. As one of the three coun-
ties vitally interested in the camp
Centre county people should be fa-
miliar with its workings and largely
responsible for its future. There is
no greater service than this in our
christian work.
It is hoped that visitors will go ear-
ly. There will be a brief program.
Basket lunches should be taken along
and it should be made a pleasant and
profitable occasion. Don’t forget the
date, Sunday, August 9th, in the after-
noon.
To reach the camp go by way of
Seven Stars, to left through Frank-
linville to white bridge, then turn to
right.
The Lutz Properties to be Sold at
Public Sale.
At 1:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon,
August 15th; the properties of Mrs. J.
Richard Lutz, on east Howard street,
will be put up at public sale.
Mrs. Lutz has had many offers for
them privately, but feels that she
doesn't want te give preference to
any one in particular so will sell them
publicly, giving all the same chance to
buy.
There are three fifty and one twen-
ty-five foot front lots. One with a fine
home erected thereon. They will be
sold separately or alltogether, accord-
ing as bidders may desire to have
them put up.

A Close Call.
Harold and Charles Frantz, seven
and six year old sons of Mr. and Mrs.
John Frantz, of Hannah Furnace,
went out to play on the bridge which
spans Bald Eagle creek, one day last
week. Harold fell from the bridge
into ten feet of water and Charles
screamed. Ten year old LeRoy Beck-
with was sitting on the store porch
not far away and heard Charle’s cries
for help. He ran to the creek, real-
ized the plight of the struggling Har-
old, hastily secured a pole and pulled
him to shore. Harold was already un-
conscious but he was quickly resus-
citated and is none the worse for his
adventure,
FIVE BOROUGH DADS
HOLD BRIEF SESSION.
Borough Duplicate Shows a Small
Increase in Taxes for 1925.
Just five borough councilmen were
present at the regular meeting on
Monday evening, the first that has
been held since June 15th. A notice
was received from the bureau of fire
protection at Harrisburg stating that
a permit had been granted the Bot-
torf Bros., for the installation of a
gasoline. pump at their place of busi-
ness on Bishop street, subject, of
course, to the rules and regulations of
the borough. The matter was refer-
red to the Street committee and bor-
ough manager.
Secretary W. T. Kelly submitted
correspondence he had had with Har-
risburg officials relative to the im-
provements at the water works, and
which it was finally decided could be
made without a permit.
The secretary also presented the ex-
ecuted contract with the Keystone
Power corporation for street lighting.
The Street committee reported re-
pairs on various streets and the col-
lection of $30.00 for sewer permits
and $3.00 for old tar barrels.
The Water committee presented the
borough manager’s report showing to-
tal collections since last meeting of
council of $183.46. Mr. Cunningham,
for the committee, reported that the
stone work for the new building at the
big spring is about completed and
from now on the work should pro-
gress quite rapidly. That the new
electric pump had been placed on its
foundation and would probably be
connected up within a week or ten
days.
The. Finance * committee - requested
the renewal of notes aggregating over
thirty thousand dollars, which was au-
thorized.
Secretary Kelly reported that the
borough duplicate for 1925 had been
completed. The valuation of taxable
property this year shows a slight in-
crease over last year, being $2,013,-
306.00, while in 1924 it was $1,948,-
727.00. The borough tax for 1925 is
$20,133.06; street, $20,133.06, and in-
terest, $10,074.52, or a total of $50,-
340.64. The total tax for 1924 was
$48,728.41.
Under the head of new business Mr.
Cunningham brought up the fact that
there is not a single public place in
Bellefonte where thirsty travelers can
get a drink of water, and suggested
that two drinking fountains be install-
ed in the Diamond, one at each corner
of the court house pavement. The
borough has one such fountain on
hand and if another one like it is pur-
chased the entire installation can be
made at a cost of approximately $150.
A motion was passed authorizing the
installation of the fountains as sug-
gested.
‘Mr. Cunningham, who presided in
the chair in the absence of president
Walker, called council’s attention to
the fact that automobilists on Sunday
evening, sadly marred the beauty of
the union services being held in the
park between ‘the court house and the
jail by continually running up and
down High street on both sides of the
park, notwithstanding requests that
they refrain from doing so during the
hour the services are being held. To
abate the nuisance in the future he
instructed the borough manager to
have some one rope off both streets
at six o’clock Sunday evening and
keep them closed tight until the serv-
ice is over.
Mr. Bradley called attention to the
broken and worn out condition of the
concrete pavement on north Water
street, and a motion was passed au-
thorizing the Street committee to have
the same repaired.
Bills totaling almost $9,000 were
approved’ for payment after which
council adjourned.

Mail Pilot Chandler Catapulted Into
Susquehanna River.
Airmail pilot Harry Chandler, fly-
ing east on Wednesday night, was cat-
apulted into the Susquehanna river at
Rupert, Columbia county, about five
miles from Bloomsburg, but luckily
escaped with a broken nose and a few
cuts and bruises. The cargo of mail
he carried was all recovered, though
some of it was pretty badly - soaked
with water, and his plane will proba-
bly be recovered from the river today.
Chandler was piloting the east-
bound ship due in Bellefonte at 2:30
in the afternoon but which was over
four hours late owing to weather con-
ditions west. He left Bellefonte short-
ly before seven o’clock, in fact it was
just seven when he crossed Nittany
mountain at Hecla gap. When he
reached the Susquehanna river the fog
and low-hanging clouds obscured the
blazed trail of signal lights and he sat
down in an oats field near Rupert.
About eleven o’clock weather condi-
tions improved to that extent that he
decided to continue his flight, but in
taking off from the oats field his plane
hit the tops of some trees bordering
the field and tipped him into the river.
Persons who saw the accident help-
ed the pilot out and sent him to the
Bloomsburg hospital, but his injuries
are only superficial and he expected
to leave that institution last night.
Word of the accident was telephoned
the Bellefonte field and Forest Tan-
ner went to Rupert by automobile, ar-
riving there at four o'clock yesterday
morning. He had charge of recover-
ing the mail from the river and also
made arrangements with a contractor
to take the plane out.
