HARRISON WALKER District Atterney, WILLIAM GROH RUNKLE. Jury Commissioner, JAMES C CONDO. Extra Session Almost Certain. One of the newspaper correspond- ents accompanying Governor Pinchot on his tour of inspection writes confi- dently that an extra session of the Legislature will be called. “State- wide sentiment has had its influence upon a sympathetically inclined Gov- ernor,” he states, “and Pennsylvania's law makers will be on Capitol Hill next January.” The subjects to be considered, according to the writer, are the giant power legislation, which failed in the last session; banking and building and loan legislation, ballot reform legislation and prohibition en- forcement legislation, : in the order named. This would indicate a rever- sal of the Governor’s former policy which put prohibition enforcement first. The banking legislation is urged by the victims of the Bell bank failures in Pittsburgh and the Building and Loan association crooks in Philadel- phia. Ballot reform legislation is made necessary by the recent expos- ures of ballot frauds in Philadelphia and the other subjects are urged upon the Governor’s mir.d by political am- bitions. If he enters the contest for the Republican nomination for Presi- dent in 1928 it will be on the basis of his record on the electoral power ques- tion and prohibition. Both of these subjects make large appeal to the popular mind, and he may justly claim that he is a valiant advocate if not an actual pioneer in both causes. The correspondent in question states that the “organization poli- ticians do not want a special session.” Of course not. A special session means nothing but harm to them while it may bring a vast harvest of advantage to Mr. Pinchot. Previous to the recent developments the Gover- nor was also opposed to a special ses- sion. He had full knowledge of the need of ballot reform legislation the day he was inaugurated and resisted the importunities of honest voters during two sessions of the Legislature to urge reforms. He knew of the weakness of the banking laws but gave the matter no attention until it became plain that “taking notice” might promote hig political ambitions. A special session of the Legislature will cost considerable. It is estimated that the expense would be something like half a million dollars. But if it _agcomplished the needed reforms in the banking and election laws it would be worth the price. If it is to serve no purpose other than promote the po- litical interests of the Governor one- tenth of that amount would be exor- bitant. It might result in legislation that would secure an honest vote at both the primary and the general elec- tion next year, and an honest vote might relegate Gifford Pinchot to the political scrap heap. But it is a cur- ious coincidence that the Governor became “sympathetic” only when he imagined an honest vote would help him. ——It would be an awful disap- pointment to the Philadelphia machine if General Butler were allowed to re- main there another year. ened —— ——The people of Philadelphia can, if they will, and it would be fine achievement to rebuke an arrogant and corrupt boss. —Vote for William Groh Runkle for District Attorney and secure to the county an experienced man for that important office. ——1If Secretary of the Navy Wil- bur would resign a great load would be lifted from the shoulders of the ad- ministration. —The numerous “bolting” candi- dates running in various sections of the State indicate a loosening of par- ty lines.

Smith, of Centre Hall, died last Saturday morning at the Geisinger hospital, at Danville, where a week previous she underwent an operation for hernia. She was a daughter of William and Sarah Hazel and was born at Madi- sonburg a little over fifty years ago. She was twice married, her first hus- band having been Luther Hosterman, who died in Brush valley twenty-nine years ago. Two children survive as the result of this union, Mrs. Lulu Hosterman, of Coburn, and Miss Es- tella, of Centre Hall. Following the death of her first husband she mar- ried Robert W. Smith, of Centre Hall, who survives with the following chil- dren: Sarah, Marie, Gladys and Ro- berta. She also leaves her mother and these brothers and sisters: Am- mon J., of Boalsburg; Mrs. Kate Kling, of State College; William, of Bellevue, Ohio; Byron W. and Edwin J., of Youngstown, Ohio; Mrs. Sarah Swartz, of Centre Hall, and Norman, of Aaronsburg. Funeral services were held at her late home on Tuesday morning by Rev. C. E. Haven, burial being made in the Centre Hall cemetery. I! HARRIS Fedak Harris, a well known resident of Halfmoon township, was found dead in bed on Tuesday morning, a heart attack evidently be- ing the cause of death. He was about 63 years of age and is survived by his wife, who before her marriage was a Miss Switzer, and three children, Or- vis, Stella and Agnes, all at home. The funeral will be held today. ——1In attempting to throw off the big driving belts at the C. Y. Wagner & Co. mill, yesterday morning, Chas.

After being before Bellefonte bor- ough council for six months and buf- feted back and forth between the bur- gess and borough solicitor the ordi- nance framed and introduced last April providing for the payment of a license by all theatres, movie shows, carnivals, circuses, street vendors, etc., save those conducted for educa- tional, religious or charitable purpos- es, was passed finally over the bur- gess’ veto on Monday evening. Six members of council were present and all voted aye. The ordinance was originally passed last May and was vetoed by burgess W. Harrison Walk- er. It was then referred to borough solicitor N. B. Spangler who took exception to the reasons given by the burgess for his veto, stating they were without foun- dation, but because of his objection to one section it was more fully exempli- fied by the insertion of the word “ed- ucational.” The ordinance was then repassed by council and submitted to burgess Walker who again vetoed it, ' and the result was the passing of it over the second veto on Monday, even- ing. The ordinance ‘will become ef- fective as soon as itis: published and posted.

They took the facts recorded it would seem. The present “African Methodist Episcopal Church” in Bellefonte grew , out of a controversy that two groups of colored people had away back in 1853. One society was known as “Wesleyan,” the other “Bethelites.” . They had been worshipping together in a building located on east Logan street and couldn’t agree as to form, so the “Bethelites” cut off under the | leadership of Ephriam Caten, John Welch and Samuel Powell.

They have been written for the “Watchman” by Mary A. Willcox, Ph. D., professor emeritus of Wellesley College, and to our mind constitute the most concise and informative statement of a subject in which every one should be interested, that we have read. i Walter Bagehot, the English essay- ist, used to talk of the many things “we know when we aren’t asked about “them. The World Court is for most of us one of those things. We all know “its name but most of us know little more.

As the borough authorized placing it where it now stands it is up to council to move it, and the Street committee was empowered to have it done. The Water committee reported mak- | ing a new connection for the Ameri- can Lime and Stone company, and that the borough manager had collect- ed $55.53 on the 1928 water duplicate and $747.02 on the 1924 duplicate. The committee reported progress in the matter of putting down new water service lines on east Logan street and on Halfmoon hill, and that the im- provements at the big spring are rap- idly nearing completion. In fact, there is every reason to believe they will be finished early in November and been one of its ablest pioneers. The “Wesleyans” struggled for a while.

Olie Sprankle, of Coleville, was brought before.the court on the charge of failure to pay his wife $30 a month for support. After hearing his story the court reduced the amount of the monthly payment from $30 to $20 a month and discharged Sprankle from the custody of the sheriff with the ad- monition to go to work and make good. “Old Ironsides” Week. The national organization of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks has inaugurated a movement, to raise a fund for the reclaiming of “Old. Ironsides,” the old continental ship’ which has been allowed to rot at her’ ways. The idea is to have the school children contribute a penny each, and adults as much as they feel like doing, toward the fund. The local lodge of Elks has designated next week as “Old Ironsides” week and they are anxious for as liberal a response as possible. ——Bellefonte boys are already starting in Hallow-eening and on Wednesday night some of them threw bottles against doors on Spring street.

A contractor has "gone over the building and figures that the first floor can be turned into , three apartments, two of which will be of fair size and the one in the rear not so large. On the second floor five bedrooms can be fixed up to be used "as an annex to the Brockerhoff house. These rooms are large and can be fixed to accommodate two beds, if nec- essary. Every room not equipped with a private bath will be furnished ' with hot and cold water and a toilet. A new furnace will be installed and , the building, when completed, will ‘make a most desirable adjunct to the. hotel. Several rooms on the third’ floor may eventually be fitted up. It ‘is Mr. Landsy’s intention to have the necessary changes and improvements , made as soon as possible so that the - building will. be ready for use early in . the new year. According to his present plans he “and Mrs. Landsy will move there from the Brockerhoff house and occupy one of the apartments on the first floor; which will release his present apart- | ments in the hotel for use of his tran- ers of ability, with local talent, will are urged to have representatives at | sient trade.

Arrangements will also be made for hikes over the college campus, under competent guides, with stops at points of greatest interest. Each school will be entitled to two delegates, and pastors and superin- tendents will be welcome. The regis-. tration fee is $1,00, to be paid at reg- istration. This fee will include the banquet in the evening, but not the noon meal. The latter will be furnish- ed at moderate price by the committee in charge.

Voris is Dead. Though he had been gone from Bellefonte for many years we are sure that there are a number of residents who remember and will share in our regret at the announcement that “Bob” Voris died at his home in Bloomsburg on September 25th. He had been eastern sales manager for the American Horse Shoe Co., and in that capacity visited Bellefonte once or twice a year, more, we often thought for the pleasure of getting back to familiar scenes than for actu- al business. In the nineties Mr. Voris was the blacksmith who conducted what is fa- miliarly known as the Mallory shop in this place. He was one of the town’s best known and most liked men and the possessor of a great, rich bass voice that just wasn’t content unless it could be expressing in song the soul of one who was surging with life and good will, always. ——Miss Elanor Barnhart, of Linn street, has gone to Punxsutawney to spend her week’s school vacation with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. H.

Contractor Benjamin Bradley Off for Florida Today. Contractor Benjamin Bradley, of Bellefonte, will leave today for Flori- da where he will likely spend the win- ter and possibly stay there indefinite- ly. He is going at the solicitation of a number of business and professional men of Bradford, who own twenty- seven lots at Winter Haven, two hun- dred miles north of Miami. They are going down today to consider the question of a big building program and are taking Mr. Bradley along as the contractor in charge of the work they decide to do. The latter will be assisted by his brother, Robert Brad- ley, who is also going down today. Winter Haven is not one of the mushroom towns of that State, as it is already a good-sized city and has a regular clientelle of northern people who crowd it every winter. In fact it is the demand for more houses that has induced the Bradford land-owners to consider a building proposition at this time. The extent of their under- taking will likely have something to do with the length of Mr. Bradley’s stay in the south. — All of the owners and officials of the Philipsburg brewery, which was raided by state police on Monday of last week, have been held for court.

Hancock heard the charge preferred by the Commonwealth and placed E. C. Beez- er, Fred J. Beezer, William C. Beezer, Lawrence Nugent, David Chambers and George Snucta under $1000 bonds for their apearance. All of the gen- tlemen are interested either as owrn- ers or caretakers of the plant and are said to have been gathered there for the purpose of completing a sale of the property.
