Philipsburg Brewery Seized and Then
Surrendered.
Four state policemen raided the
Philipsburg brewery, on Monday
afternoon and placed under arrest E.
C. Beezer, Fred J. Beezer, William E.
Beezer,Lawrence Nugent, J. T. Stein-
kirchner, David Chambers and George
Snuchta, all of whom were in the
brewery at the time. The charge was
possession of high power beer in vio-
lation of the State prohibition laws.
The officers found seven hundred bar-
rels of near beer and beer containing
an illegal percentage of alcohol, all in
vats. All the men arrested furnished
bond in the sum of $1000 for a hear-
ing before Squire Hancock at a later
date.
The men placed under arrest are all
stockholders or employees of the
brewery. It is reported that a sale of
the property was about to be consum-
mated and the men were all at the
brewery to close the deal. The beer
on hand had been brewed months ago
and had been held with the expecta-
tion that the federal government per-
mit to manufacture near beer which
had been withdrawn several months
ago, would be renewed. So far no ef-
fort has been made on the part of the
state officers to destroy the beer, but
they will keep it under constant guard.
The raid on the brewery was in a
line with a campaign carried on that
day all over the State. Every brew-
erey in the State, it is said, was visit-
ed. At St. Mary's the officers
are reported to have found : beer
in bottles and other containers
and the entire stock on hand was emp-
tied into the sewers. At the Philips-
burg brewery not a keg, bottle or oth-
er container holding beer was found,
the entire stock being in vats, and no
evidence, whatever, of intent to ship
any of the beverage.
The officers took charge of the prop-
erty until Wednesday morning when
they called Mr. E. C. Beezer, the
president, and asked him to take
charge of it, as they had overstepped
their authority in the matter.

Blanchard-Moshannon Stockholders to
Get Report.
A meeting of the preferred stock-
holders of the defunct Blanchard-Mo-
shannon Coal Mining company will be
held within the next week when a re-
port will be made to them by the trus-
tee and receivers as to the present
condition of affairs. At the receiver’s
sale some weeks ago the property was
purchased by Robert F. Hunter, as
trustee for the stockholders, and at
the time everybody had hopes that
some arrangements could be made to
finance a new company and save the
property for the stockholders. All ef-
forts in this direction having failed
the property was taken over by a
Pittsburgh gentleman at the price
‘paid by the trustee at the receiver's
sale. This is the end of the Blanch-
ard-Moshannon company and wipes
out all equity it ever possessed in the
coal lands near Karthaus.
i SLACK.—John Alexander Slack, a
life-long resident of Potter township,
: died at one o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing at the home of his niece, Miss
| Elizabeth Slack, of Potters Mills, as
| the result of general debility; he hav-
ing been in declining health for some
1 months.
. A son of Uriah and Isabelle McEw-

A Good View of the Wrecked Mailplane which Carried Pilot Charles H. Ames to His Death on the
Nittany Mountains Thursday, October 1st.
and Wrecked Plane on Sunday, Ten Days After the Accident.
AIRMAIL PILOT FOUND ON NIT-
TANY MOUNTAIN SUNDAY
MORNING.
Still Sitting in the Seat of His
Wrecked Machine, was Evidently
Killed Instantly when Plane Crash-
ed Into Mountain Thursday Night,
October 1st.
Lost for almost ten days airmail
pilot Charles Hayden Ames and his
wrecked mail plane were found on
Sunday morning on the south side of
the second ridge in the Nittany moun-
tain range at the Hecla gap, within
half a mile of the Hecla gap beacen
light, by a party of searchers from
Hecla. The dead pilot was still sit-
ting in the seat of his badly wrecked
machine, with his legs crossed around
the control stick, the upper portion of
his body hanging out of the cockpit
and his head resting on his right arm.
A hole in his forehead, the right side
of his face badly crushed and a hole
in the control panel where his head
struck when the monster plane landed
nose on against a huge rock were
mute evidences that the pilot was kill-
ed instantly, and probably never real-
ized what had happened. The plane
was a total wreck. The right wing
had been torn off by coming in contact
with a tree just before the crash to
earth and the other wing was smash-
ed in the fall. The landing gear had
‘been knocked off through contact with
‘trees, the propellers smashed and the
big Liberty motor broken through the
impédct with the huge rock it landed
against. The machine was laying al-
most on its right side, the gas tank
had been broken and the clock on the
control panel stopped at the numeral
8. But this did not tell the story of
the time of the accident, as the clock,
an eight day timepiece was run down,
not damaged, and when rewound, be-
gan ticking off the time as usual. The
mail in the cockpit had not been dis-
turbed and only three bags of the thir-
teen comprising the load were slight-
ly wet as the result of the rains of the
week the wrecked plane lay in the
mountains. :
The searching party that was in-
strumental in finding the missing pilot
and mail plane was organized at Hec-
la on Saturday evening by L. H. Mec-
Mullen and Charles Workman. It in-
cluded the following twenty-four men
and boys: L. H. McMullen, Charles
Workman, E. J. Dearmitt and his fif-
teen year old son, John Dearmitt; J.
E. Herman, William Harnish, R. M.
Hoy, Richard Workman, Earl Harter,
Joseph Weaver, Orvis Yarnell, Bruce
Beightol, A. L. Henry, Ford Henry,
Melvin Miller, John Dunkle, Philip
Yarnell, Joe Yarnell, George Carson,
Robert Funk, Emery Miller, Lee Dob-
son and A. F. Hockman.
Equipped with sandwiches for an all
day hunt the party left Hecla shortly
before nine o’clock and went through
the gdp and up to the point of the sec-
ond ridge in the Nittany mountain
range. Before starting on the hunt a
compact was made that any and all re-
wards paid should be divided equally
between the members of the party in
the event they were successful in find-
ing the lost aviator. Mr. McMullen
was chosen captain of the crew and
he formed his men in a line about fif-
ty feet apart, extending over the
crown of the ridge and down on both
sides. The orders were to keep close
enough together to see every foot of
ground, as well as keep sight of each
other. Then the hunt started. The
party traveled a mile or more when
John Dearmitt espied ahead of him,
almost buried in the laurel and under-
brush, the wrecked plane. He started
on a run to the spot, tripped and fell
over a rock, then yelied, “Here it is, I
found him.” Almost at the same in-
stant the wrecked plane was seen by
Mr. Workman, who was fifty feet
higher up the mountain, and signal-
ling to the other members of the
searching party it took only a few
minutes until all were gathered
around the wrecked plane. Because
the Dearmitt lad was the first to see
the wreck he was delegated as one of
the searchers to return to Hecla and
report the find. Two other boys ac-
companied him, and alternately run-
ning and walking they made good
time to the McMullen residence and
excitedly blurted out that the long-
lost pilot had been found. Miss Mc-
Mullen hastily telephoned the tidings
to the Bellefonte field where assistant
manager Forrest Tanner received the
news.
Summoning assistance he went to
Hecla in one of the field trucks, picked
up the waiting boys as guides and
within forty minutes was at the scene
| of the wreck. He found the dead pi-
| lot still strapped fast in his seat, and
‘cutting the belt and cutting off his
parachute he lifted him out of the pit
A portion of one of the broken wings
was used as a litter and on this the
dead body was placed and covered
with a robe of silk stripped from a
broken wing. The wrecked plane was
almost half a mile from the road and
members of the searching party car-
ried the lifeless form through the un-
derbrush to the waiting truck. The
mail was removed and carried to the
truck and the broken wing with the
dead pilot placed on top, and thus the
cavalcade slowly descended the rough
mountain road, already swarming
ried to the scene of the wreck. The
body was brought to Bellefonte and
turned over to undertakers F. W.
West & Co.
rect to the field and dispatched on a
special plane for Chicago.
As soon as word of the find was re-
ceived at the Bellefonte field general
superintendent Carl F. Egge, who was
still at Clarion directing the search
there, was notified by telephone, and
he came to Bellefonte by airplane,
reaching here at one o'clock. He re-
mained at the Bellefonte field all after-
noon and materially assisted the limit-
ed force on duty there. Manager
Fred J. Gelhaus and Samuel Weaver
were out in the Karthaus region and
it was four o’clock before they could
be located and notified of the find. All
the ships on duty in the Clarion dis-
trict sailed for Bellefonte. Paul
Ames, who was at Clarion, left there
in a plane for Bellefonte but the pi-
lot was compelled to sit down at Du-
Bois owing to motor trouble and Slim
Lewis was sent from Bellefonte to
bring him over, reaching here about
five o'clock.
On Monday the official board of in-
quiry for the eastern district, compos-
ed of H. B. Shaver, assistant division
superintendent; Fred J. Gelhaus, man-
ager of the Bellefonte field, and J. D.
Hill, senior pilot on the eastern di-
vision, and accompanied by Slim Lew-
is, went to the scene of the wreck and
made an official investigation. Their
report will be made direct to the Post-
master General. While there was
nothing about the wreck to indicate
the time it happened it is the general
belief that Pilot Ames crashed into
the mountain on his direct trip to
Bellefonte. That he was flying under
the clouds of that night in the valleys
and hopping over the mountain ranges
and for some reason miscalculated his
altitude when he struck the second
ridge in the Nittany mountain range
on which the beacon light is located.
The fact that the machine was headed
for Bellefonte would indicate that he
had not been lost or circling around
above the clouds. Had he been two
hundred feet higher he would have
been above the tops of the tallest
trees. Just two hundred feet stood
between life and death, and death won.
The body of the dead aviator was
taken by auto hearse by undertaker
E E. Widdowson to Cleveland for cre-
mation. He left Bellefonte at four
o'clock on Monday afternoon. There
was no demonstration of any kind
and so quietly was his departure that
few knew of it until after he had gone.
The cremation took place at 3:30
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. The
ashes were taken from Cleveland to
Jackson, Mich., where funeral services
were held and burial made yesterday.
Pilot Ames was a son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles C. Ames, of Hollywood,
Cal. He was thirty-five years old and
had been in the airmail service since
1920. His parents and two sisters
survive.
NOTES OF THE CLOSING INCIDENT.
John Dearmitt, the Hecla boy who
first spied the wrecked plane, was fif-
teen years old Sunday, and it will be
with curious sight-seers who had hur- |
"airmail pilots flying back and forth
The mail was taken di-
a birthday he will long remember. He
is a bright young lad and while not
posing as a hero is naturally glad that
he found the missing ship and pilot.
The composite picture accompany-
ing this article was made from photos
taken by William J. Sager, of Belle-
fonte.
Already there has been considerable
talk among outsiders over the proba-
bility of a quarrel over the reward of-
fered for the finding of the body of pi-
lot Ames, but nothing of the kind is
likely to happen. Every man and boy
who composed the searching party
will stand by the compact made to di-
vide the reward equally, and no one
has given a thought to demanding
more than his share.
Souvenir hunters despoiled the
wrecked ship of numerous valuable in-
struments, ever. prying off the side of
the ship the dead pilot’s name plate.
Unless everything is returned to the
men in charge at the Bellefonte field
postal inspectors will be sent here to
hunt them up and arrests and prose-
cution will follow.
Some people think it strange that
across the route did not discover the
wrecked ship, but it was so shielded
by the trees and underbrush that it
could not be discerned from the air.
The men in charge of the search for
the ship were also badly confused by.
the many conflicting reports from
widely separated places that the mail-
plane had been both seen and heard,
all of which are now proved as being
incorrect.
The first and most authentic photos
of the wrecked plane were taken by
William J. Sager, of Bellefonte. Prints
were in great demand a hundred or
more copies were sent out.
During the eleven days following
pilot Ames’ disappearance over 47,-
000 words of press matter were sent
out from Bellefonte through the West-
ern Union telegraph office. In addi-
tion probably ten thousand words
went out via the telephone. It was a
record never before equalled in the
history of Bellefonte.
Members of the crew from the
Bellefonte field went down to the
wreck on Tuesday, stripped the ma-
chine of all valuable parts that had
not been carried away by souvenir
hunters, then burned the wreckage.
The big Liberty motor, damaged be-
yond repair, was left lay where it fell
and in future years will be a marker
where the daring pilot, Charles Hay-
den Ames, plunged to his death.

Centre County Bankers’ Association
Organized.
A meeting of representatives of the
fifteen banks in Centre county was
held in the grand jury room in the
court house, Bellefonte, on Monday at
which an organization was perfected
to be known as the Centre County
Bankers’ Association. The officers
elected were as follows:
President, Charles M. McCurdy,
president of the First National bank,
of Bellefonte; first vice president,
John E. Fryberger, cashier of the
First National bank, of Philipsburg;
second vice president, David F. Kapp,
cashier of the First National bank, of
secretary, Lloyd E.
Stover, cashier of the First National
bank, of Millheim; treasurer, Theo-
dore C. Jackson, cashier of the Mo-
shannon National bank, of Philips~
burg.
The purpose of the organization is
to promote the general welfare and
usefulness of banks and banking in-
stitutions, and to secure uniformity of
action, together with the practical
benefits to be derived from personal
acquaintance and the discussion of
subjects of importance to the banking
interests of Centre county, and to se-
cure co-operation by the banks in the
development of the agricultural, in-
dustrial and other interests of the
county, and for the protection against
loss by crime and otherwise.
Centre county banks are all affiliat-
ed with Group 6, of the bankers’ asso-
ciation, but it has grown so large as
to become unwieldy and the National
and State bankers’ associations have
for some time advocated the organiza-
tion of county organizations, hence
the action taken by Centre county
bankers on Monday.

Chair for Electrocution.
Edward Stevenson, negro, of Fayette
county, was electrocuted at the Rock-
view penitentiary on Monday morning

——As a result of the recent boiler
explosion in the capitol building at
Harrisburg, through which two men
lost their lives, chief engineer Albert
Emerick has been dismissed from the
service. Mr. Emerick went to Harris-
burg about twenty-five years ago from.
State College, where he had been con-
nected with the engineering depart-
ment.. He is a man of such splendid
character that he could have been‘held
to responsibility for the accident ‘only
through the possibility that one of the
men under him, and in whose employ-
ment he probably had no voice, failed
to do his duty.
