Last week we made mention of what we supposed was a new bird to make its appearance in this locality. It was new to us because we had never actually seen any of its kind in Bellefonte or any other part of the county before. As we said last week the bird might be mistaken for a black-bird, but it is not of the same conformation, it has a shorter bill and tail and its plumage is a dull, lustreless black and not glossy at all. Mrs. John N. Lane writes that she thinks it is the starling, imported from Germany several years ago. And it might he, but it is not the English starling which was introduced in this country years ago, for they have dull brown plumage in winter and glossy greenish black in summer and have longer tails and bills than the bird we are trying to identify. Mrs. L. A. Shaeffer, of Curtin St., is also of the opinion that it is the starling. She says they have fre- quented the Curtin St. section for at least two years, and in great numbers. IS IT THE COWBIRD? Joe Undercoffer, Tom Lamb and George Brown, who sit in judgment of everything from the League of Nations to ingrown toenails, everyday in the baggage room of the Pennsyl- vania station here, are said to be laughing at us. Birdology is their forte. They just eat anything with feathers on—especially chicken—and have already fired the ornitholigical editor of the Watchman because he was so ill informed as to make a mystery of a bird that isn’t a mystery at all to this omniscient triumvirate. They say the bird we have been en- deavoring to identify is the cowbird. All agree that it is not new to this locality and they have seen it about here for years. The cowbird is listed as a small North American black bird and, like the European cuckoo, it builds no nests, but lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. It is called the cow- bird because it frequently associates with cattle.” While we are not prepared to say that these three wise men are wrong we must admit that we're from Mis- souri on this question. We spend much time in the open spaces and have always been interested in birds, so that it would seem that if this partic- ular species has been common here for years we would have identified it long ago. Supervisors Want Permission to In- crease Tax Rate. At the annual convention of the State association of township super- visors, held in Harrisburg last week, a resolution was passed asking the Legislature to amend the State law so that a majority of supervisors in a township may petition the court to increase the tax rate above ten mills. The law now provides that there must be an unanimous agreement of the township supervisors about the in- crease before it be submitted to the court. Another resolution asked the Legis- lature to provide $3,000,000 to town- ships each year for roads and bridges. Last year’s session of the Legislature provided $3,000,000 to the townships for two years. The State Assembly in another res- olution was asked to pass a law pro- viding that a bank acting as deposi- tory for township funds be bonded. A resolution asking the Legisla- ture to increase the State tax on gas- oline from 2 to 3 cents failed to pass. Milford I. Pletcher, of Howard, Centre county, was elected president of the association for the ensuing year. nm el The tree survey for Bellefonte that is published on page two of this isssue is something that should inter- est every property owner in Belle- fonte. It should be cut out and pre- served for future guidance in the se- lection and spacing of trees. oS LL A The annual foot-ball dance of the Bellefonte Academy is to be given at the Nittany Country club on next Friday evening.

Miller, a retired farmer of Walker township and form- er treasurer of Centre county, died at his home in Hublersburg at four o’clock on Saturday morning. He had been a sufferer the past two years with hardening of the arteries and had been confined to bed the greater part of a year, though the immediate cause of his death was lobar pneumonia. Mr. Miller was a son of John and Sarah R. Mever Miller and was born in Walker township on June 28th, 1857, hence was 68 years, 7 months and 16 days old. His father was a farmer and Mr. Miller, when he grew to manhood, stuck to the environment of his forbears and tilled the soil of the old homestead a short distance be- low Hublersburg. As a farmer he was quite successful and was always regarded as one of the substantial men of Nittany valley. A Democrat in politics he was fre- quently elected to township offices, all of which he filled with the utmost fidelity. In 1911 he became a candi- date for the office of county treasurer and was given the nomination by a very creditable plurality. He ran against Josiah Pritchard, of Philips- burg, the Republican candidate, and was elected by the handsome majority of 812 for a four year’s term. On tak- ing charge of the office in January, 1912, Mr. Miller moved to Bellefonte and during the years of his incum- bency he and his wife occupied a home on east Curtin street. His election to a county office naturally meant his re- tirement from the farm and when his term expired he moved into a com- fortable home in Hublersburg where he spent the remainder of his life. Mr. Miller was a lifelong member of the Reformed church and a liberal contributor to the same. He was a member of the Bellefonte Lodge of Masons and the Knights Templar. A quiet, unassuming gentleman Mr. Miller had a large acquaintanceship throughout Centre county and his passing away will be regretted by all who knew him. Mr. Miller married Miss Sarah Frances Lucas and she survives with no children. He leaves, however, two sisters and one brother, Mrs. Mary Whippo, of Jersey Shore; Mrs. Minnie Hoy, of Salona, and Charles S. Miller, of Johnstown. One brother, Franklin Miller, died some years ago. Funeral services were held at his late home in Hublersburg at 2.30 o’clock on Monday afternoon by Rev. Harry Hartman, burial being made in the Hublersburg cemetery. I ll BECK.—Mrs. Sarah Catherine Beck died at her home in Huntingdon on January 29th, following a brief ill- ness with cerebral thrombosis. She was a daughter of William and Sarah Sellers McElwain and was born at Stormstown, Centre county, on November 27, 1848, hence was in her seventy-eighth year. On September 21st, 1871, she was married to Joseph L. Beck, of Warriorsmark, the cere- mony having taken place at Pine Grove Mills. For a number of years the family lived in the vicinity of Warriorsmark, but in 1896 moved to Huntingdon, and that had been her home ever since. In her early life she was a member of the Lutheran church at Pine Grove Mills but after her marriage had her membership transferred to the Methodist church, in which she was an active worker all her life. Her husband died July 10th, 1909, and one son, Foster G. Beck, died on June 26th, 1900, as the result of in- juries sustained in a railroad accident, but surviving her are the following children: Dr. John M. Beck, of Alexandria; Mrs... A. Allison, of Swarthmore; Xopher, Willis’ L. and Blanche A. Beck, of Huntingdon, and Jesse F., of Edgewood. She also leaves one sis- ter, Mrs. Isaac Kanaur, of Warriors- mark, twelve grandchildren and two great grand-children. Rev. O. B. Poulson had charge of the funeral services which were held on February 1st, burial being made in the Riverview cemetery, Huntingdon. I ll STAMM.—Charles J. Stamm, a na- tive of Centre county, died on Fri- day of last week at his home in Eldor- ado, near Altoona, following an ill- ness of several months. He was born at Boalsbhurg on June 2nd, 1850, hence was in his seventy-sixth year. In 1872 he married Miss Caroline M. Stover, of Pennsvalley, who survives with the following children: J. A. Stamm and Mrs. J. W. Gramley, of Juniata; B. F. Stamm, of Philadel- phia; Mrs. T. C. Forshey, Mrs. J. E. Johnston, Mrs. W. H. Conrad, Mrs. C. E.

LOSE.—Joseph Thomas Lose, men- tion of whose serious illness was made in last week’s Watchman, died at the Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, on Sunday morning. About a month ago Mr. Lose suffered quite a severe at- tack of quinsy but had recovered therefrom when on Friday, February 5th, he became violently ill. He was taken to the Altoona hospital where his trouble was diagnosed as a tumor on the brain. Through the courtesy of the Pennsylvania Railroad company he was taken to the Johns Hopkins hospital on Monday of last week and underwent an operation on Tuesday. While his condition was from the first extremely critical he revived suf- ficiently after the operation to justify the hope that there was a chance of his recovery but a collapse on Satur- day night resulted in his death at an early hour Sunday morning. Mz. Lose was a son of George and Mary Gherrity Lose and was born in Bellefonte in October, 1877, hence was past forty-eight years of age. He was a graduate of the Bellefonte High school and as a young man went to work for the old Bellefonte Electric company under Frank C. Williams. It was there he received his electrical training and twenty-six years ago he left Bellefonte and accepted employ- ment as an electrician with the Penn- sylvania’ Railroad company, first at Williamsport and later at Philadel- phia. He was stationed in the latter city until two years ago when he was promoted to a special inspector in finished brass work and electrical ap- plicances with headquarters at Al- toona. He had no particular district in which to work, his duties carrying him to various points on the Pennsyl- vania system. He was a member of the Catholic church, the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks and various railroad organizations, being especially active in the relief association. Twenty-five years ago he married Miss Bridget Curry, of Bellefonte, who survives with one son, Joseph Jr. He also leaves his mother, living in Belle- fonte, and two sisters, Mrs. Thomas Jenks, of Philadelphia, and Daytona, Fla., and Mrs. Gilbert Boyer, of Belie- forte.

Three men escaped death in the elec- tric chair at Rockview this week, two by having their sentences commuted to imprisonment for life by the State board of pardons, on Wednesday, and one by being overtaken by the hand of death almost at the hour the pardon board was considering his ap- plication for commutation. The two men whose sentences were i commuted are Alvin Case, of Ten- | nessee, convicted in Allegheny ‘county of a murder in a crap game. He was scheduled to go to the chair next Monday morning. And William J. Bishop, of Hershey, convicted of the murder of Enos Robb, of Palmyra, on December 23rd, 1924. He was sched- uled to go to the chair on March 22nd.

Thomas Legins, of Philadelphia, convicted of killing his wife, was denied commutation. Little Girl Has Narrow Escape at Unionville. Margaret Jane Williams, a little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rollie Wii- liams, of Unionville, had a miraculous escape from serious injury Wednes- day morning. The Williams home is on the upper side of the street entering Unionville from the east. There is quite a hill down to the highway from it and Margaret was coasting there. She shot out onto the street just as a car was approaching. She couldn’t stop and its driver made frantic attempts to go into the snow bank at the side in order to avoid hitting her, but she crashed into it and while her sled was broken to bits the little girl escaped further injury than a few slight scratches. Suicide Did Not Live At Lemont. The story published in the city pa- young man named Leroy Mitts, aged suicide in a Pittsburgh hotel after deserting his bride of a day aroused some curiosity here as to his identity. Inquiry at Lemont failed to dis- cover any person who knew of a young man of that name. And it was the opinion of Squire I. J. Dreese that there was probably a confusion of our Lemont with Lemont Furnace, in Fayette county, in the mater of lo- cating the suicide. ——John Adrian, who escaped from the Rockview penitentiary in April, 1924, and was seriously wounded in a gun battle at Braddock when recap- tured last August, has recovered and last week was brought to Bellefonte and on Saturday sentenced by Judge Keller to serve an additional term of two and a half to five years in the western penitentiary. Thomas Gor- man, who escaped from Rockview in 1920 and has since served a term in the eastern penitentiary, was also brought to Bellefonte last week but refused to plead guilty and will prob- ably be tried at next week’s session of court.

The boy’s basket ball team of Belle- fonte High school lost one game and won another last week, and through Mount Union losing to Tyrone rose to second place in the Mountain league. The Bellefonte team lost to Philipsburg, on Friday evening, by the score of 22 to 20. The game was played on the Philipsburg floor and Bellefonte led at the end of the first half. An unusual amount of noise and confusion on the part of the spectators marred the game to some extent, and may have caused Belle- fonte’s defeat. At Hollidaysburg, on Saturday night, Bellefonte wor by the close score of 27 to 26, in a game teeming with interest from start to finish. At no time were there more than two points difference in the score. Clarke, Katz and Best accounted for ten baskets between them. This (Friday) evening Philipsburg will come to Bellefonte for a return game, which will be played in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Last Friday evening the girl’s bas- ket ball team lost to Renovo by a single point the score being 11 to 12. The fact that the regular centre of the Bellefonte team was out on account of illness weakened the team work and was probably the cause of their defeat. em seep reeeemeree. ——Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. F. | W. West were on their way to State | College when their car was forced off the road into the deep snow by the driver of a heavy truck. They were compelled to go so far into the snow to avoid a collision that their car stuck fast, and they were unable to move either forward or backward. The driver of the truck did not stop to offer any assistance but fortunately a truck load of college students came along in a few minutes and seeing the predicament of Mr. and Mrs. West piled out of the truck and virtually lifted the West car out of the snow and placed it on the roadway. ——The second death at the Presby- terian home, at Hollidaysburg, since it was opened on January first, occur- red on Wednesday when Miss Juniata Cunningham, of Hollidaysburg, pass- ed away.

Moyer, Pastor Dr. Glenn Writes of Florida Produce Prices. West Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 12-26 Dear Watchman:— Intended writing you long ago, but just couldn’t get settled down to it, so here goes. Thus far we have had just as nice weather as one could wish for even if it did get down to forty last Wed- nesday night, which was so unusual as to set all of Florida agog for a day or so. Since January 7th we have had only four days of rain, and as it came in two-day lots we can truthfully say that it has rained only twice since we arrived. The tem- perature has been as usual except for the two days last week. When it sank as low as forty, which was the coldest I have ever experienced. it here. This evening, at 7:30, the mer- cury is standing at sixty on our porch so the cold snap was of short duration. _ Apartments here are up in price this year, and there seems to be plenty of them to be had because there are many advertisements for tenants. The rates, generally, are from $600 to $3,- 000 for the season which runs from Dec. 1st to May 1st. Rooms are about the same price as last year and run from $20 to $40 per week for two in a room. Boarding a bit higher, with some produce prices above those at home and others less. Milk is 30c. a quart, bread 17c. a loaf, white po- tatoes 10c. a pound, coffee 43c., cream- ery butter 53c., oranges from 30 to 50c. a dozen, and grape fruit 25 to 50c. Meat is cheaper here than at home, but not much. They are raising the finest navel orange up in the Indian River district I have ever seen. It is larger, thinner skinned, sweeter and more juicy than any of the fruit yet produced in Florida. The big thing here is, however, just the same as last season—selling' lots, houses and acreage. There seems to be little if any abatement of the fever to buy and everywhere build- ing is going on while streets and walks are being laid and develop- ments are being hooked up with water, electricity and gas. It is a tremendous pace that is being set everywhere one goes. We have been south fifty miles to Hollywood and seventy miles north to Fort Pierce and on a forty mile trip around the edges of the Everglades and everywhere it seems to be the same. What is to be the end of it all is a matter of conjecture, of course, but it is certain to go on as long as development companies keep pouring the millions they have been into the State and the country supplies the visitors who want to own a piece of this great winter play ground. W. 8. GLENN. Splendid High School Promised. Productions: Rehearsals for the High school’s first musical comedy of the term start- ed this week. The play, “Pickles,” promises to be one of the best the glee club has ever given, and the pub- lic will find much new talent in the selected caste. This play will be given shortly after the close of the Lenten season. In early May the Senior class will present the Booth Tarkington success, “Clarence.” Music week promises some splendid musical programs by grade pupils. High school, and adult choruses. One day of this week will be set aside as Health day, and plans are in progress for the giving of some very attractive health plays. The play selected for winners of dramatic and music prizes, to be given commencement week, is “The Charm School,” one of the most delightful plays ever written. The Watchman last week told of the arrest on Wednesday night of Mrs. Ann Keeler and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Parks, of Halfmoon hill, on the charge of illegal possession of liquor. While we did not know of it at the time we have since learned that the raid was planned by district attorney John G. Love, from information he had received that the law was being violated by the above named parties. Mrs. Keeler and Mrs. Parks were re- leased from jail under bail on Thurs- day, and now it is rumored that the women may tell the source of their supply of moonshine, which may im- plicate one or more residents of Belle- fonte. Rev. Clarence Adams, of State College, will preach in the Baptist church at Milesburg at seven o’clock on Sunday evening. The public is in- vited. Marriage Licenses. Percy B.
