days to make the trip by boat from
Los Angeles to New York, so it wiil
probably be the middle of September
when the organ reaches Bellefonte.
Just how long it will take to install it
is not known but its melodious tones
ought to be in evidence early in Oc-
tober.

director of the summer session, upon
the conclusion of the second annual
meeting of the Institute.
——There is a big pair of nippers
out at the Rockview penitentiary that
comes near being a hoodo for that in-
stitution. They are used by the work-
men on the big cell block to cut the
tie wires on the concrete forms but
three times now they have been used
by prisoners to cut their way to lib-
erty through the barbed wire stock-
ade. Of course any other pair would
be just as much of a weapon in the
hands of prisoners seeking a means of
escape, but it has just happened that
in three instances the identical pair of
nippers were used.
A compensation case heard be-
fore referee Jacob Snyder, in Altoo-
na on Monday, was that of Miss
Grace Heath, who is asking compensa-
tion to the amount of $1,500 for the
loss of the first joint of the index fin-
ger on her left hand as the result of
what she elaims was an injury sus-
tained while at work as a waitress in
the Colonial restaurant, Bellefonte, on
May 28th, 1925. According to the
claimant she hit ‘her finger against a
table while scrubbing the floor, the
finger became sore and had to be am-
putated at the first joint. Mrs. John
F. Marks was in Altoona on Monday
as a witness at the hearing and her
remembrance of the girl and her sore
finger does not coincide with the story
of Miss Heath. The referee reserved
his decision.
NEW JERSEY MEN
COME TO GRIEF.
One Now in Centre County Jail on
Serious Charge.
Last Friday morning two men in a
sports Peerless roadster made their
appearance at the Rockview peniten-.
tiary and one of the men, who was
promptly recognized by assistant dep-
uty warden Clarence C. Rhoads as
Thomas DeFloromo, a paroled prison-
er, demanded to see three Italian pris-
oners. One of the latter is serving
time for having been implicated in a
big bank robbery in the Smoky city.
Being a prisoner on parole deputy
Rhoads informed DeFloromo that he
was not entitled to see any one. The
latter not only become persistent but
almost abusive and as a last resort ap-
pealed to deputy warden W. J. Me-
Farland. That official sustained his
assistant’s refusal to permit a prison-
er on parole to see other inmates and
finally ordered DeFloromo and his
companion, D. W. Welsh, off the pris-
on grounds.
The men left and came to Bellefonte
registering at the Brockerhoff house.
They went to their room and remained
there most of the day. In the mean-
time deputy warden McFarland, be-
coming suspicious of the mission of
the two men, came to Bellefonte and
got into communication with chief of
police Dukeman and Corp. Willard, of
the state police. When the men came
down from dinner on Friday evening
the officers asked to see their license
to the car they were driving. At the
time neither one was able to produce a
license and they were promptly placed
under arrest and taken to jail.
On being searched at the jail, how-
ever, a legally executed driver's li-
cense was found on the men, and they
explained that they had borrowed the
car from a friend in Patterson, N. J.,
to make the trip. They might have
gotten off on that explanation but
when the officers searched the car they
found a half-pint of liquor, dice, cards
and other equipment of a professional
gambler, so that the men were held.
They were permitted to communi-
cate with a Patterson attorney, Mi-
chael W. Stein, who, accompanied
by Joseph Goloti, of Pittston, arrived
in Bellefonte on Monday morning and
at once got busy to get the two other
men out of jail. In the meantime
Rockview penitentiary authorities had
lodged a detainer against DeFloromo
for breaking his parole.
At a hearing before justice of the
peace S. Kline Woodring, on Monday
afternoon, the men posted $1000 cash
bail for the appearance of Welsh and
DeFloromo at the September term of
court to answer to the charge of the
illegal transportation of liquor which
resulted in Welsh’s discharge from
jail, but DeFloromo will have to
await the action of the parole board
of the western penitentiary as to his
release or return to prison. In the
meantime: the $2,500 Peerless car is
being held by Centre county officials
and its final disposition will depend on
the court’s order following the usual
condemnation proceedings.
But the exact reason for Floromo’s
visit to Rockview to see three Italian
prisoners has not been divulged. De-
Floromo was originally sent to the
eastern penitentiary from Philadel-
phia, was transferred to Rockview and
released on parole March 24th, 1924.
Since that time he has been located in
Patterson, N. J., and has been regular
in his reports to the parole board. He
was supposed to be making $150 a
month but it is alleged that his bank
book shows deposits of $4,300 in the
past four months. In their brief but
tempestous stay in Bellefonte all the
men seemed flush with money, but a
large part of it remained here.
Sheriff Goes After Auto Tires and
Captures Still in Operation.
On Monday morning L. E. Tice, of
Howard, operating a motor bus line
between Bellefonte and Lock Haven,
by way of the Bald Eagle valley, came
to Bellefonte and made information
against Fred Butler, a seventeen year
old youth, son of Thomas Butler, who
lives on a farm not far from Jackson-
ville, charging him with the theft of
two tires from his big bus. A search
warrant was sworn out and later in
the day sheriff E. R. Taylor and Cor-
poral Willard, of the state police, ac-
companied by deputy warden W. J.
McFarland, of Rockview, went to
Howard and failing to get any trace
of the stolen tires at that place pro-
ceeded to the Thomas Butler home,
near Jacksonville.
There they made a thorough search
and while they didn’t find the tires
they uncovered a moonshine still
in full blast in an outhouse on the
farm. The still had a capacity of
twenty gallons and quite a quantity
of moonshine was also found. The
still and moonshine were confiscated,
the mash destroyed and Thomas But-
ler was arrested on the charge of op-
erating the still while the son Fred
was arrested on the charge of larceny
of the two auto tires.. The young man
informed the officers that he had tak-
en the tires for his car but they
wouldn’t fit, so had hidden one along
the railroad and the other in the rear
of Tice’s garage. The one along the
railroad was recovered but some other
individual had made way with the one
hidden behind the garage.
Father and son were brought to the
Centre county jail but were later re-
leased on bail, the father’s bond being
placed at $1,000 and the son’s at $500,

Over One Thousand Candidates’
t Petitions Filed.
While all the candidates’ petitions
filed at the office of the county com-
missioners have not yet been arranged
in their separate districts and cor-
rectly counted the number is consid-
erably in excess of one thousand.
In Bellefonte Hard P. Harris is the
only candidate for burgess, petitions
having been filed for both the Repub-
licaa and Democratic nomination.
In fact the only contest of any con-
sequence in the borough will be for
the office of tax collector, which is ac-
‘| counted for by the fact that it is the
only official job that pays real money.
Three men are after the Republican
nomination, Herbert Auman, the pres-
ent collector; Orian Kline and Harry
B. Johnson, while the Democrats will
be represented by Charles Fromm,
Harry N. Meyer and Charles Schaef-
fer,
Mrs. M. E. Brouse and Mrs. Caro-
line Gilmour are the only candidates
for school director, while John M.
Keichline is a candidate to succeed
himself as justice of thé peace in the
South ward.
For borough councilmen the candi-
dates are W. J. Emerick and W. Fred-
erick Reynolds, in the North ward;
Thomas Hazel, in the South ward; J.
M. Cunningham, W. H. Brouse and
John P. Eckel, in the West ward. As
there are six to elect every one of the
candidates is sure of a seat at the
council table. C. L. Gates is a candi-
date to succeed himself as borough
auditor.
Shredded Wheat Distributors Charged
with Stealing Truck.
During most of last week two
young men, William Callan and Dan- |
iel Carlin, were making the rounds of
Centre county in a Dodge truck dis-
tributing sample packages of shred-
ded wheat biscuit and other cereal
products. They were in the employ
of D. H. Sellman, of Lock Haven,
owner of the truck. The truck was
kept at Beezer’s garage and on Sun-
day the young men took the truck
and disappeared. Failing to return
on Monday Mr. Sellman went before
justice of the peace J. M. Keichline
and swore out a warrant for their ar-
rest, charging them with the larce-
ny of the truck. The truck bears li-
cense tags R-56,189, and officers are
now on the hunt for Callan and Car-
lin.
The two men, still driving the truck,
were caught at East Orange, N. Y.,
on Wednesday and will be brought
back to Bellefonte to answer to the
charge of stealing the truck.
Valuable Deposit of Magnesia Lime-
stone Found in Spruce Creek
Valley. ¥
What is believed to be the most
valuable deposit of dolomite, or mag-
nesia limestone, in the entire State
has been uncovered on the farm of W.
J. McCartney, a Pennsylvania railroad
engineer, in the western end of Spruce
Creek valley. The mineral is used in
the manufacture of steel, in making
asbestos covering, chemical lime, med-
icine and magnesia cement. Several
carloads of the stone have been tested
at the Bethlehem plant of the Bethle-
hem Steel company and found to be
of an unusually good quality. It is
estimated that the deposit will yield
from six to seven million tons.

were believed to be planning an escape

ant deputy warden Clarence C. Rhoads

WAS JOHN GILL MURDERED? |
Found Lying Along Railroad Track
with Bad Wound on Head.
John Gill, a well known blacksmith
of Huston township, died at 8:15
o'clock last Friday morning, as the
result of a crushed skull. He -was
found early in the morning lying
along the railroad track about ninety
feet from his home with his skull
crushed on the top of his head. He
‘| was carried home: and regained con-
sciousness sufficient to ask for a drink
of water and a chew of tobacco.
When asked if he:had been hit by a
passing train he replied in the nega-
tive but it has not been definitely es-
tablished that he understood the ques-
tion as he almost immediately lapsed
into unconsciousness and died shortly
after.
The fact that a number of residents
of that locality had engaged in a
drinking bout on Thursday evening
led to a suspicion that Gill may have
been beaten on the head and placed
along side the railroad track, and as a
result of the suspicion his brother,
Edward Gill, and James Blakely were
arrested on Friday evening and
brought to the Centre county jail. In
the absence of coroner W. R. Heaton,
of Philipsburg, Drs. John P. Sebring
and David Dale went to Julian on
Friday afternoon made an autopsy
and found the skull crushed, to the
right of the top of the head, as if
done by something with a sharp point
as it was punctured clear into the
i brain, a bit of which oozed out. Also,
Ei to the left of the wound was a
large cut. Dr. Sebring gave it as
‘his opinion that it was not a- case
| of murder but an accident of some
| character and the jury returned a ver-
» dict that Gill came to his death as the
result of a crushed skull sustained in
a manner unknown. As the result of
the jury’s finding Ed. Gill was releas-
ed from jail.
The unfortunate man was a son of
George and Susan Gill and was about
fifty-five years old. He never mar-
ried but is survived by his aged fath-
er and two brothers, Edward and
Thomas, both of Huston township, and
several sisters, one of whom, Miss
Minnie, is at home.
Funeral services were held at the
Gill home at two o’clock on Sunday
afternoon, burial being made at Mar-
tha Furnace.
Long Time Sentences for Escaped
Prisoners.
At a special session of court, last
Saturday morning, Judge Dale clean-
ed house of the recaptured escaped
prisoners and what he gave them
ought to be a warning to all the tem-
porary sojourners at Rockview that it
| doesn’t pay to try and reduce their
original sentence by making a get-
away. The percentage of prisoners
who have escaped and not been re-
captured is so small that the odds are
too big.
The first two men who faced the
court were John Duane and “Dick”
Richards, both of Lackawanna county.
They are the two men who, after cut-
ting through the wire stockade hid in
a cornfield but were recaptured before
they got off the prison grounds.
They were charged with breaking
only. At first the two men demurred
against pleading guilty but they final-
ly changed their minds and Duane was
given from 4 to 10 years in the west-
ern penitentiary and Richards 3 to 10.
Earl Green, of Montgomery county,
one of the five men who escaped on
July 5th, and who was caught at
Bridgeton, N. J., was given from 5 to
10 years. Henry Simpson, of Luzerne
county, and John A. Sharp, of Phila-
delphia, two of the men who escaped
en August 4th, were each given 5 to
10 years and Robert McWilliams, the
third man in the party, was given 4 to
8 years. Simpson, Sharp and McWil-
liams were each given an additional
year and a half to three years for
stealing the car of head gardener B.
Allen Rockwell, and using it in which
to make their escape. All the men
were taken to the western peniten-
tiary in Pittsburgh on Saturday.
The sentencing and return to the
penitentiary of the above six men ac-
counts for all but one of those who
broke prison during the past two
months. James Lee, of Philadelphia,
one of the five who escaped on July
5th is still at large but it is only a
question of time until he will likely
be recaptured.
Annual Pilgrimage to Old Buffalo
Cross Roads Church.
The annual pilgrimage to the old
Buffalo Cross Roads Presbyterian
church, four miles west of Lewisburg,
will take place next Thursday, August
27th. Quite a number of Bellefonte
and Centre county people make this
pilgrimage every year as a means of
perpetuating the history of a church
organized in 1773.
The program for next Thursday
provides for a morning session, at
10:30, which will be devoted to “Ear-
ly Presbyterian History on Pennsyl-
vania,” and discussed by the Rev. F.
B. Everitt, of Lewisburg, and the Rev.
William Finney, of Pottsgrove, who
will present history of the struggles
of the Scotch-Irish pioneers.
At 2:30 p. m. Dr. W. T. Linn Keif-
fer, a teacher in Lincoln University,
and a son of the church, will preside.
The address will be given by the pres-
ent moderator of the Synod of Penn-
sylvania, the Rev. Dr. A. P. Bittin-
ger, of ‘Ambridge, whose topic will be
“The Presbyterianism of Tomorrow.”
Automobiles will meet trains at Vicks-
burg. Basket lunch at noon. Vesper
service at 6 o’clock.
